This is a prime example of how the system failed this young girl at heart. She has been in fight or flight mode most of her life and where she is in her life today, is not her fault. I wish I could go back in time and be her social worker, I would have been her advocate and assisted in lifting her up. Whoever this social worker is, I hope she is no longer practicing. All ethical boundaries off the table. I want to hug this woman nurture her back to good mental health or maybe support her on her journey to being and feeling free and slap the shit out of the whole system that failed her. My heart aches for her. Stay strong beautiful black butterfly 🦋
You said it perfect !!!! I would love to slap the crap out of them too. It just pisses me off to no end. I wish I lived close to where she is and she could come live with me. She’s so smart and so damn gorgeous. Heart of gold.
These women needed a FATHER. Masculine, strong, supplying order, discipline, guidance. Reassurance. Not a social worker. Even though your heart is in the right place.
Blame the irresponsible MOTHERS who lay down with any thug and make these children who turn out to suffer due to their irresponsible decisions. What mother does this to a child? A stupid irresponsible one. Don't have babies unless you can look after them and then people like you turn around and blame The system.
I always try to tell my sister that because she suffers from depression, if she listened to these stories she would realize how lucky she is. My heart breaks for this young woman
@@janceleste That does not help people with depression. Only makes people feel guilty because they think they are being selfish. Depression is a mental illness that does not care about wealth or privilege.
I'm so thankful for my family. Nobody is perfect only Jesus Christ. But He favored me not to ever have this lifestyle. I hope she gets outta this lifestyle
My heart broke when she cried. I don't believe she's a hustler at heart. I believe she's a strong, kind person and I think she can get out of this lifestyle. I think she really wants it. Much love to you, Butterfly, YOU CAN DO THIS ❤🦋
That’s how most of these women are. They are normal people who had fucked up childhoods who are victims of circumstance. It’s truly heartbreaking what drugs can do, and being on drugs can make you allow a lot of horrible stuff to go on around you, because you’re numb. I do hope she gets out. But i can’t imagine how hard it will be.
Omg me too. Everybody breaks eventually but I didn't expect it. Underneath that hard exterior is a sad broken woman and seeing her cry like that really broke my heart. I cant imagine what half these ppl have gone thru and continue to go thru daily. That's why I try to never take anything for granted, because it could ALWAYS be worse. Your worst day could be somebody's best. Always remember that.
Mark, can we please get an update on Butterfly? She seems like such a sweet, genuine person. I pray blessings of peace and growth over her .. and that she’ll see her strength and know there are so many of us out here rooting for her ❤️
Wow. She's almost 36? For someone who've lived such a hard life she looks mighty good. Imagine how she might have looked or done with her life had things been different. She's very articulate, smart & pretty. Oh, Butterfly. Rooting for you, dear.
She has been through alot. There has to be better choices for her to get her life together. I feel sorry for the things she went through. I pray that she gets her life in order ✝️✝️✝️.
That loving hug Mark gave at the end meant so much in my eyes. She's had SO many men touch her without love, care or respect. That hug held all three and she's deserved 10,000 of them ❤️
Mark didn’t get into this role by accident people underestimate the calling of being able to sit an listen to someone really hear them . Listening is a gift mark found his gift and purpose. Everyone doesn’t open up to people to be listened too .
I can see her working through her trauma with a therapist, then running a loving family shelter. She has a lot of gifts and purpose. My heart hurts for her. 💔
Omg…. This is hard to watch. When she cries I just want to run up and hug her. She is SO smart, and she doesn’t want this life and she feels it’s all she can do because she has been abused her whole life. Even helped her mom after knowing she “gave” her away. This breaks my heart. God, I wish I could help her.
My parents fostered over 200 children and teens. My parents just wanted to heal them and for them to find their worth. They went to every graduation, they went to every appointment, they stayed up for days if needed to just be there. They didn’t force anyone to talk as my dad said, “sometimes, it’s enough to know that there is just another person in that room rooting for you. No words need to be spoken by me. They just know I’m there” my dad was a judge and we sadly lost him 14 years ago and the world lost a great man. My mum, still is everyone’s mum and now everyone’s grandma. My parents changed these children who are now adults and they broke the cycle. We are in the Uk but this would of broke my dads heart. I will show this to my mum too. The fire in my parents belly just grew stronger for these kids. This is truly heartbreaking and I wish, I could help her. All I can do is pray to my dad for her. I hope one day, she can heal. She was so let down by everyone who should of loved her. 💔
Of all the interviews, this one completely broke my heart. This woman has a beautiful soul. People have failed her but she has NOT failed. She is intelligent, loving, caring, resourceful and beautiful. I pray that Butterfly can find her way out and make a life for herself. And, I pray that she will not give up on herself. If there is ever a woman who deserves more in life, she is that woman.
She ripped my heart when she was crying, it's a crying for help, it's an unbearable pain, she Is so strong, so many failed her since she was born, her family, the system, society. Hard life is an understatement 😪 bless your heart Mark. What you do, is so important to humanity. I my self on the verge of giving up, and I watch and see all these people's stories , I can't say it's comforting to know im not alone in my pain, the opposite, I feel their pain. Too much. It hurts to learn how some people have rights and privileges and luxurious life style and some don't know what will be with them the next minute. In my country there is a saying השבע לא יבין את הרעב, the one who's have something to eat will never understand the hungry. I feel her. I understand. I wish her well. To all. 🙏
She's got a beautiful face, beautiful skin, and beautiful heart. She has nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about- strong woman. Believe in yourself, girl!
This was so painful to watch. My friend and I are starting a non profit organization here in South Florida for battered women and children. Her and I have been through abusive relationships, toxic family members, sexually abused, even homelessness. We met for a reason. S.E.E.K will be everywhere helping people like this.
@@missannthrope2484 thank you so much! It's nerve wracking but I feel it will be worth it in the end. They have shut down alot of the shelters here to build banks and its sad.
I felt her when she said “ im paranoid, I can’t trust , I’m scared” that Shìt was so deep. Mark is usually more interactive but she needed to vent she needed to tell her side of her story. 🥺❤️ prayers to you girl! And prayers to mark as well for giving people a platform z
We have 33,000 children in Foster Care here in Los Angeles County . I grew up in Long Beach California. I went to Poly High school. Fighting was all we knew. I've seen good kids turn bad, with life sentences. I've made friends, I'll never see again because of LA failed Foster Care System. Thanking God for my family for encouraging me to stay focus. Praying for you Butterfly 🦋
Pisses me off so bad to hear how all these kids are treated in the system… they go from one bad home to a worse one and it’s so disheartening!!!! Smh ugh. You are such a strong beautiful and smart woman!!!! You will get through this sis I’m sending all the positivity in the world. So so sorry this happened to you
From my experience the ""system" handles those kids not for the kids benefits, just as if it was some dirts to process ... Lady ain't no thing as the system, it's you, me and others as a society letting that craze happening, we need to leave this mindset it's up to us...Peace though
These girls are HURTING so bad!! Why do I continuously watch and cry!!! I wish I could help!! If I ever get situated to open a home in every state I will help!! GOD knows my heart. BLESSING to you sweetheart!! Such a beautiful young lady.
Just when the caterpillar 🐛 thought the world was ending, she turned into a beautiful butterfly 🦋. So much love and prayers to you, beautiful. You can do this🤍
She is still that 15yr old girl wanting her momma. I pray she can get out of her situation and find a better life for herself. She deserves a better life filled with love.
What a lovely woman. You can still see the scared, hurt little girl behind her eyes and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I really, really hope she can find a way to get off of the streets and to receive the unconditional love that she DESERVES! Thank you, Mark, for giving Butterfly a voice.
Butterfly, I hope you know that there are a lot of us here who see you, and are with you. I hope you find a therapist who specializes in trauma. This way you don't need to keep repeating your story. I really felt that when you explained your experiences with therapy in the past... I feel you. I know it was a completely different ball game when I finally was able to work with a trauma specialist. It wasn't until THAT type of therapy that real digging and solving began to happen. You deserve to have a team backing you. It wasn't right what happened to you as a kid, but I hope you know that you can do this. You are strong and you are smart. You know what you want but the steps to get there are hard. The steps are like... cluttered figuratively with traumas that make it incredibly difficult to make moves. But I want you to know that you are already in route. You're gonna get to where you want to be. Life is going to get better. Keep digging, crocheting, being creative and dreaming. You're gonna get there. Hugs. Keep being compassionate with yourself. You've got this. Keep reaching out for help and staying curious about how to make positive moves. The right people are going to be there as you keep knowing exactly what you want. Lots of love to you.
Oh. She needs somebody to talk to who cares on a regular basis. I know how this is. She carrys the pain daily. Butterfly I'm sorry you been failed, I hope things get better love. 💕
I've seen your comments on few videos and noticed they're always positive. The life can be really rough on the streets / in addiction and when you're on your lowest the smallest words of encouragement or positivity can have a huge impact. I'm speaking from experience, I got some stories to tell too and I guess im trying to thank you for taking the time to pay attention to "invisible" people. Respect from Finland.
@@ilarious5729 Thank you so much. I definitely get it. I'm in active Addiction myself. It's very rough, very very lonely. It helps keep me going being kind, it's something I can hold onto that can't be taken. I've got very little. I live in a burned out house with no utilities, and it's getting cold outside. The small things help get me thru it- like your comment. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
@@DetroitFettyghost I like the way you think, no matter where life takes you and what obstacles cross your path don't give up on that positive attitude. It'll pay back one day, it's already paying back if you can look in the mirror at the end of the day and be in peace with yourself. I just got back on suboxone today to get my life back on track again. I hope the best for you. we can beat this disease, it won't define us, our words and actions do.
She carry’s the pain daily… I felt that. Because I can identify. The permanent scars called mental illness from trauma .. can weigh heavy on a persons life. She’s so beautiful. Pray she gets out and finds peace in this lifetime.
I’ve watched multiple interviews that you’ve done Mark and this one was the one that broke my heart the most. Her soul is crying for help. The inner child is still inside and hurting. I just pray for her strength and encouragement. She deserves all the blessings that’s coming to her. The Lord hears her cries and sees what she’s going through. Her breakthrough is coming. I’m praying for her!
I just want to hug her so hard. 😔 sweet girl. You never deserved any of that. You are a queen, worthy of ALL of the love and respect. Go get that dream life. You can do it.
True! i’m sitting here thinking why not get a job? even if it’s fast food, and rent a furnished room. try to take a certificate course even if it’s CNA or Medical/dental assistant then get a decent job. get settled then go back to school again for LPN/RN. A lot of people are dealt some bad hand but they fight their way out of the mess, not sit in the crap for twenty years.
As a foster parent , this hurts me. Those Foster parents had a chance to really pour in to her , her life didn’t have to be this way. Praying she finds her way out and is able to do at least one of the dreams she wants to do. 💛
I know I don’t get how ppl can hurt these kids 😭😭😭 I wish I could be a foster parent but I don’t have the space and I wouldn’t want to bring a child child to my apartment and not have the adequate space for them I hope to be able to do this one day so bad
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” - T Real 🔥
Bin-go, what a profound statement, my parents had 5 kids, 4 of us chose a a positive , peaceful life and 1 decided to repeat the cycle of disfunction and chaos.
That generally is the Aquarian born Child or the beautiful Black Sheep Child or White Buffalo Child is born to break the Spell..You are very Wise Lila.
@@butterfly2604 thank you for sharing with me. I suppose I was the black sheep and my daughter must be the white buffalo child. She drove me to face those flames. 🔥
Every video ends with Mark asking the guest "what is the most important thing you have learned in your life" and a lot of guests (especially women) reply with something along the lines of "don't trust everyone." Yet, Butterfly replies with her wisdom of blessings, lessons, universal gifts, and patience. I love Buttefly. She deserves so much more, many people do. And it's true, once you share your story... part of you cant resist the change. I hope a follow-up video is on the horizon 💙
The fact you cry means you still have a heart. That's a lot these days. Stay good. Don't forget how much everything is really spiritual. Love conquers everything. Keep trying.
Poor baby…. These foster homes and orphanages every interviews sound like complete hell…. I feel so bad for her and every child that’s been in there ❤️
Wow. Speaks Spanish, wants to be a rapper, loves to crochet, loves her family unconditionally, has an entrepreneurial spirit. Is 35! She is amazing and God didn't bring her this far to leave her. She is gonna make it out!
@@johnzimmerman5892 Excuse me?? How am I being negative? You sound stupid. With the right opportunity and chance she can. Im a BLACK woman just like her, I would NEVER do that to a woman who looks like me, get the F *ck on. You don't know SH*T.
She should buy some clothes with some of the money. All these interviews these women are making as much money as a doctor etc. So I'm not feeling sympathetic these women hate themselves. There are always places to go.
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 she went there and she got fucked over! All she’s known is bad and she’s not got anyone fighting for/with her only men who are after her body. So stop chatting 💩 coz life ain’t easy even when you have money
She's a real one. Strength in vulnerability. 🦋 It's interesting she talked about her horrible experience in CPS care but didn't really juxtapose that to what must be happening to her own kids within that same system. What is true is that if you were in fostercare yourself, it is much more likely that your own children will be taken away just because you are already on the government radar. The fostercare-to-fostercare and the fostercare-to-prison pipeline is real.
You can tell she’s a nice girl and good person, who was born into a life of drug addiction, abuse, poverty and the system. I hope she finds within herself a better way. She deserves it.
This Angel just needs to know that she's worth getting out of the game. Her cries broke my heart.... The sound of years of pain and sadness. How can I help her Mark? Thank you for sharing her story to the world❤️❤️
Sending butterfly 🦋 lots of love. Growing up with kids in my neighborhood who went to McClaren Hall, I know the tragedies they've experienced. Praying for healing. She's a strong woman.
I smiled to! I make Rag Rugs which is sorta like crochet with a fat crochet hook and I thought if she were here I could teach her how to make a rug for her big ole blanket she makes....
It’s like she has been holding that pain and those tears for so long that it just burst out rushing. Butterfly, if you are reading this, I am truly sorry you have been treated so badly. In spite of it all, I see your strength, your beauty, your lessons learned, your intelligence, your heart. I am amazed at your strength and your ability to survive and surpass this. I hope and I think you will get to place where you can find peace and love and move forward from this very debilitating hurt.
She should make some crocheted blankets and sell them! We would buy them up! I wanted to just hug her when she cried. She literally is crying out for help! Keep ya head up girl! ❤❤❤
Damn, her story is deep. As a father of a 5 yr old daughter and about to have another daughter due next month I'm taking this in much different because what she went through in her childhood and to see how badly it affected her into her adulthood make me wanna do better to never allow my daughters to experience this type of abuse/pain/heartache/loneliness and so much more. To all the parents out there, hug your kid(s) and tell em you love them if they're by you or call em to tell em that you love and miss them. Our kids are the future, Teach them well, love them unconditionally and let them lead the way🙏🥺
Of course our childhood affects us. . What we go thru as kids grooms and form us into what type of adult we will be and how we present ourselves to the world.. This is exactly why we have so much human hurt, pain, murderers, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually ill people, just running wild on the earth. contributing to the world's chaos, darkside and alone why we have good people.. that have an passion to help others... because they can personally relate, know people from dysfunctional backgrounds or they are Being's born as natural empaths with healing spirits... so they are drawn to helping wounded souls.. For me, It's all of those reasons that, I naturally have a draw to hurt people.. I'm a empath and I absorb other's pain. Which is hard on my soul and very debilitating for my Spirit that's why I don't personally have people close to me emotionally.. It's too much. Especially since I don't & have never had RECIPROCITY when it comes to comforting wounded souls..
She's so right about therapy being so hard to start over with someone new, just when you think you're getting somewhere with one, they up and leave and you have to go through it all over again...ugh! Schizophrenia is a horrible mental illness to have to deal with. God bless her ❤ 💙 💜
I don’t think she ever stated that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia but that she was hearing voices which can be a symptom of many types of different disorders and illnesses.
10:45 Dear God do you hear her cries. Her hurt goes back, way back I pray for her healing and new journey, I pray she gets her babies back and break this cycle because she's worth it and capable. My deepest prayers go out to her. Not all "females"/women are grimy. I pray your angel is revealed to you soon. Everyone failed her
Yeah. God hears it. I’m sure. But does nothing. So why do u people still ask this imaginary person to help. Lol. Why don’t u help with some money instead of praying for someone fake to help?
@@annaxefta587 and for future references, you shouldn't project your impoverished state of mind on others, Marc sends out information to help, have you, nah, you don't have it
These sessions with Mark allow the person to vent, more than they thought too, to the point of sobbing and soul-bearing, both therapeudic, cathartic. It can set the spark inside them on the path to changing their lives. I often wonder how many have gone on for the better. She cries at 4:30, and full-on sobbing by 14:33. Its heart-wrenching. " I'm still here doing this" ... "I know I'm better than this". She's a good soul who missed her mom & siblings. Mom's addiction put them in Foster care, who failed her miserably, as I hear far too often. Butterfly loves to crochet! A Mexican lady taught her. Its the unforeseen link towards her future. I have high hopes for her 🙏💓. Please followup, Mark. 😌🐦
I recognize and I respect the way she is so direct, aware, and candid. She has everything it takes, even if it takes her all. Butterfly said blessings come with lessons. I think it's evident she has learned many lessons,won many battles. She is due for all the blessings coming her way. Butterfly, you ARE worthy of acknowledgement, understanding, and care.
@@anomaly19851 i am thankful to have been born to people who while still exceptionally abusive in their own ways took the time to do so in quiet suburbs somewhat hidden away from different trauma elsewhere- like some people who’s story is just a little bit different from mine but alike I’m so many ways it’s scary. Two people can have much more in common than you’d ever think walking down the street. No one chooses this life there is no bragging about it. I think it’s because I’m so large & N CHARGE. ✔️
@@kennethpeaks3477 same here, it felt as though she had been hanging onto this since it happened and she is just now releasing it. I wish her the best.
I love Butterfly. She’s has so much beauty; inside and outside. I wish that she had the support of other women who are healthy because healthy women can be a wonderful support system especially if there is shared history. She’s also so intelligent. It surprised me that she can only picture herself doing what she is doing now but I understand it is because of her life history. She could be so much more…she deserves to be so much more. The world needs women like her who have been through such hell and have managed to get out to show other women how to do it. Butterfly would be an exceptional teacher and mentor, if she would only allow it… I’m holding a space for you butterfly. A space where you can be who you were created to be, not the false women who was molded by unspeakable trauma. Crying is healing because you have lots of pain to get out and to get through. I was relieved to see you cry because for many years I couldn’t and only through crying did I open the door for healing. CPS gets away with lots of crap. It is designed for failure and to not believe children unless someone in the system has something to gain from believing them. You are not alone. You have a wonderful since of humor and are one of the best storyteller’s that I’ve ever seen. Here’s a mantra that you can feel free to use, if it appeals to you, “I am good, worthy and worth the effort.” Look at yourself in the mirror right in the eyes as many times each day as you can while repeating it out loud (assuming it is safe to say it aloud.) Also, use it as a mantra. A mantra is a positive sentence that could be repeated to oneself, over and over again. Especially when a person feels confused, anxious, sad, depressed or whenever it may cross the mind or when a person doesn’t know what to think or say. Eventually, something shifts inside for the better. I send you blessings, good energy and good thoughts. ❤️🤗
@@butter_buttfly thank YOU for your openness and honesty. It’s stories like yours and how others react to and learn from them that actually gives me a sliver of hope for this (unfortunately possibly still) doomed society.
You have been let down so much through your life Butterfly. When you cried so deep from your soul you touched my soul. You are such a strong independent beautiful woman, and I hope you come back here and read all these comments in praise of you and see that we are all sending love and prayers for you and that you find a way to get out of this. Sending love & peace from New Zealand xx
Hey New Zealand in the house I appreciate what you said I'm loving all the praise I didn't think that people will feel this way I thought that I was being a big crybaby because I haven't cried in a long time only when I'm angry we just talking about my life maybe emotional and I just want to thank you for your message and your prayers
This lady made my heart shatter when she broke down and sobbed. You are a beautiful lady and have so much more to give, there’s still time to do all you want to in life. Massive hugs to you sweetheart.
If I ever see her, I'ma hug her tight 💕 She deserves rest, she deserves to feel safe, and she deserves peace 🕊️ A true victor, stay strong pretty one 🦋 Abundance protection promotion around us all ✨
I love when they start off acting all hard, and then they begin hearing themselves speak based on one of Mark's questions and break down crying. That Brokenness is the beginning of clarity and healing. I'm praying for you Butterfly!!!
The system is so corrupt. The pain that she’s suppressed all these years, my goodness. You are better, you are worth it beautiful butterfly!!! It’s never too late to grow and break the chains! Use the suffering you’ve been through as motivation. I pray she finds healing and changes her life. ❤️🙏🏼
Mark, you are a wonderful man. I love that you treat everyone you interview as what they are (Human). As for Butterfly, you are a beautiful soul and pray you find a way out and live the rest of your life in peace.
When she said, "I'm a popular loner", that really resonated with me. I was Prom Queen, I have 10 siblings, and most of my childhood friends still live in the area. I'm to myself or with my partner 90% of the time. I trust no one bc of childhood trauma.
It’s crazy how when you’ve been through this much trauma, you instantly revert back to the child you were when it all started the moment you start to tell your story. I feel for her so much. I feel the longing she still has for her mother and her family even in her 30s. I can relate 100% I’m 25 and I still want my mom. I didn’t foresee her getting emotional because in this life I know shes had to learn to hold herself up so when she cried I cried. Queen you have so many people rooting for you. I believe in you
This is devastating to watch. She’s still this beautiful little girl who was just thrown away. I wish I could meet her and just hug her and tell her she’s worth having a great life. Love to you, Butterfly ❤️
My heart melted seeing her break down. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her how beautiful and resilient she is. My God, these interviews are tough.
It shows you cannot just judge people off of one look. She’s a caring, loving, hurt, abused beautiful woman with FEELINGS and a heart! It’s heartbreaking watching people who were failed by the adults that should have taken care of them and made them feel safe!
OMG, this beautiful soul...when you cry like that it comes from a deep-rooted hurt like no other. She was never heard, never understood, and never cared for by people she was supposed to be able to trust. I am sending love and prayers. I hope we can get a follow up on her. (I am also praying for her 3 children, I am sure they feel like she did when she was put into placement...another generation). It is unfortunate that she has been made a container for other people's rage! this hurts my heart. blessings to you for the work you do by allowing these beautiful hearts a safe space.
Do not give your past the power to define who you are. You are stronger than you will ever believe and your greatest strengths come from your hardest struggles.
My god, this interview really broke my heart. When she broke down the way she did, i cant even imagine going through everything she went through. She’s beautiful and brave i hope she finds her peace. It’s sad how much the system failed her.
I started crying only 5 minutes in. This poor girl was dealt a bad hand in life and it is so brave of her to talk about this. I wish that I could just hug her right now
I wish people could realize your past does not define who you are. Only you decide what defines you and who you are. The past is life's, the future is yours.
These tears are probably just what she needed to start her healing journey. I look forward to seeing what/who she becomes. I’m rooting for you Butterfly, and everyone else is too. It won’t be easy, but you’ve got this girl! 🙏🏽💪🏾💗❤️❤️
Absolutely horrifying!! Butterfly needs to continue to speak her truth. So many need to hear this. I admire you Butterfly. You are so courageous. Epic system fail from the beginning to the end. Good God they all failed her in every single way.
Mark ty for every beautiful soul n voice u share.. These will live on forever.. You're helping many people.. N you're showing us how to keep our empathy n compassion How not to judge And be thankful.. I think this means more than you'll know
Long time viewer, 1st time commenting. I lost both my mom and sister (the 2 I was raised with) to overdose. I was in to crack after my sisters passing. I am a 7 yr army vet, sober now for 3 years now. Baby I didn't go threw what you did, but I can empathize so much. KEEP CREATING. My artist outlets have always been my soberity and peace. Your story really hit home. I have so much faith in you girl. I do. Know you are loved, valid, beautiful and you will get threw it.

@@tydamon7316 they sure do.

😂 😆 it’s too funny!!
One can be a hustler and a kind person! They are not mutually exclusive traits
But no matter what, it's a guy that tried to help and was did wrong. So karma hits you.
Omg me too. Everybody breaks eventually but I didn't expect it. Underneath that hard exterior is a sad broken woman and seeing her cry like that really broke my heart. I cant imagine what half these ppl have gone thru and continue to go thru daily. That's why I try to never take anything for granted, because it could ALWAYS be worse. Your worst day could be somebody's best. Always remember that.
Mark, can we please get an update on Butterfly? She seems like such a sweet, genuine person. I pray blessings of peace and growth over her .. and that she’ll see her strength and know there are so many of us out here rooting for her ❤️
She passed away
@@yari7995 Noooooo! Really?
@@p_tiffanii yes, they mentioned her in another interview and he said she sadly passed away
Bless 😢
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow. She's almost 36? For someone who've lived such a hard life she looks mighty good. Imagine how she might have looked or done with her life had things been different. She's very articulate, smart & pretty. Oh, Butterfly. Rooting for you, dear.
So true💯💯💯
Shes gorgeous!!
I have literally just got up off my knees praying for God to lift her up. She deserves so much better and so much love
❤️❤️❤️
Bless her.
Yassssssssssssss!🙏❤ Hold her in prayer without ceasing!
❤🙏🦋
She really does! I wish I could save you beautiful 😍 none of this was your fault 💔🙌🙏💋💜💕💜💕praying for you so much
@@kristinenoffsinger5138 ❤️❤️❤️
When she broke down an cried, it broke my heart to pieces.
So, so sad. She just wanted to be a kid in a safe situation.😰💔
I cried too. I hope a good man can come along to help her love her help her to get on the real path she wants to be
She has been through alot. There has to be better choices for her to get her life together. I feel sorry for the things she went through. I pray that she gets her life in order ✝️✝️✝️.
Right that first time she broke down you could tell was all pure emotion. It's like she let out 20 yrs of hurt.
Lord! 😩 it cuts so bad. I feel for her. All of these women have had no one to protect them.
That loving hug Mark gave at the end meant so much in my eyes. She's had SO many men touch her without love, care or respect. That hug held all three and she's deserved 10,000 of them ❤️
Mark didn’t get into this role by accident people underestimate the calling of being able to sit an listen to someone really hear them . Listening is a gift mark found his gift and purpose. Everyone doesn’t open up to people to be listened too .
I can see her working through her trauma with a therapist, then running a loving family shelter. She has a lot of gifts and purpose. My heart hurts for her. 💔
Omg…. This is hard to watch. When she cries I just want to run up and hug her. She is SO smart, and she doesn’t want this life and she feels it’s all she can do because she has been abused her whole life. Even helped her mom after knowing she “gave” her away. This breaks my heart. God, I wish I could help her.
My parents fostered over 200 children and teens. My parents just wanted to heal them and for them to find their worth. They went to every graduation, they went to every appointment, they stayed up for days if needed to just be there. They didn’t force anyone to talk as my dad said, “sometimes, it’s enough to know that there is just another person in that room rooting for you. No words need to be spoken by me. They just know I’m there” my dad was a judge and we sadly lost him 14 years ago and the world lost a great man. My mum, still is everyone’s mum and now everyone’s grandma. My parents changed these children who are now adults and they broke the cycle. We are in the Uk but this would of broke my dads heart. I will show this to my mum too. The fire in my parents belly just grew stronger for these kids. This is truly heartbreaking and I wish, I could help her. All I can do is pray to my dad for her. I hope one day, she can heal. She was so let down by everyone who should of loved her. 💔
bless your family 🙏🏼🥺❤️
Your mom and dad sound like they were angels on earth. I’m so glad good people like them exist🤍
sorry but I am a former foster kid and I have been damaged from the fostering. I pray for all kids in the system.
@@melissagrace6607 I’m so sorry, Melissa. ❤️
God bless your family and the legacy your beloved Father brought to this earth❤️
Of all the interviews, this one completely broke my heart. This woman has a beautiful soul. People have failed her but she has NOT failed. She is intelligent, loving, caring, resourceful and beautiful. I pray that Butterfly can find her way out and make a life for herself. And, I pray that she will not give up on herself. If there is ever a woman who deserves more in life, she is that woman.
She ripped my heart when she was crying, it's a crying for help, it's an unbearable pain, she Is so strong, so many failed her since she was born, her family, the system, society. Hard life is an understatement 😪 bless your heart Mark. What you do, is so important to humanity. I my self on the verge of giving up, and I watch and see all these people's stories , I can't say it's comforting to know im not alone in my pain, the opposite, I feel their pain. Too much. It hurts to learn how some people have rights and privileges and luxurious life style and some don't know what will be with them the next minute. In my country there is a saying השבע לא יבין את הרעב, the one who's have something to eat will never understand the hungry. I feel her. I understand. I wish her well. To all. 🙏
Understanding the why: she is a human who had horrible experiences. Abandoned, mistreated, praying she realized her value soon
Right ❤️ God bless y'all

😂 😆 it’s too funny!!
She's got a beautiful face, beautiful skin, and beautiful heart. She has nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about- strong woman. Believe in yourself, girl!
Being a prostitute for over 20 years is something to be proud of? I believe in positive encouragement but some of you people go too far with it. Yeesh
@@DavidWilliams-pb6he did she have much of a choice!? She's surviving.
@@parisa5014 we ALL HAVE CHOICES! This is why FATHERS ARE NEEDED in the community. U can have compassion without DELUSION

This was so painful to watch. My friend and I are starting a non profit organization here in South Florida for battered women and children. Her and I have been through abusive relationships, toxic family members, sexually abused, even homelessness. We met for a reason. S.E.E.K will be everywhere helping people like this.
@Krystal LaBandera - all the best to you with your organisation.
@@missannthrope2484 thank you so much! It's nerve wracking but I feel it will be worth it in the end. They have shut down alot of the shelters here to build banks and its sad.
Thank you to you each. I'm saying a prayer.🙏♥️
Where are you guys located? I'm a BHT and nail tech. I've been looking to work with women and young girls dealing with sexual abuse.
@@KNKReacts Hey! We are located in West Palm Beach, FL.
I felt her when she said “ im paranoid, I can’t trust , I’m scared” that Shìt was so deep. Mark is usually more interactive but she needed to vent she needed to tell her side of her story. 🥺❤️ prayers to you girl! And prayers to mark as well for giving people a platform z
Yup he just gave her the floor and allowed her soul to bleed which was needed because now sooooo many ppl including myself are praying for her
Yes. This really broke my heart. I pray she can get herself together
We have 33,000 children in Foster Care here in Los Angeles County . I grew up in Long Beach California. I went to Poly High school. Fighting was all we knew. I've seen good kids turn bad, with life sentences. I've made friends, I'll never see again because of LA failed Foster Care System. Thanking God for my family for encouraging me to stay focus. Praying for you Butterfly 🦋
Pisses me off so bad to hear how all these kids are treated in the system… they go from one bad home to a worse one and it’s so disheartening!!!! Smh ugh. You are such a strong beautiful and smart woman!!!! You will get through this sis I’m sending all the positivity in the world. So so sorry this happened to you
From my experience the ""system" handles those kids not for the kids benefits, just as if it was some dirts to process ... Lady ain't no thing as the system, it's you, me and others as a society letting that craze happening, we need to leave this mindset it's up to us...Peace though
@@hiphopchild9540 what am I suppose to call it other than the system? Obvi I know it’s made up of people lol
@@hiphopchild9540 I agree more and more with this every day.
Because the people that foster are doing it just for the money the government gives them to foster.
Yess it pisses me off how the system operates
Please do a follow up on her in some time. I hope she sees everyone’s loving comments and knows there are tons of people rooting for her!
someone in a comment above from only a few months after your comment said she passed 😪
@@joyfulherbivore7113 Yes Mark said a trick did it 😕
These girls are HURTING so bad!! Why do I continuously watch and cry!!! I wish I could help!! If I ever get situated to open a home in every state I will help!! GOD knows my heart. BLESSING to you sweetheart!! Such a beautiful young lady.
‘Life isn’t fair’ is an understatement. I wish I could give this woman a hug and help her.
Just when the caterpillar 🐛 thought the world was ending, she turned into a beautiful butterfly 🦋. So much love and prayers to you, beautiful. You can do this🤍
She is still that 15yr old girl wanting her momma.
I pray she can get out of her situation and find a better life for herself. She deserves a better life filled with love.
Never curses, never name calls, and still STANDS. Praying for you sis.
Right, a very good speaker
You know what I just realized that
😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aw shit u right
Except she's actually sitting tho
What a lovely woman. You can still see the scared, hurt little girl behind her eyes and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I really, really hope she can find a way to get off of the streets and to receive the unconditional love that she DESERVES! Thank you, Mark, for giving Butterfly a voice.
Butterfly, I hope you know that there are a lot of us here who see you, and are with you. I hope you find a therapist who specializes in trauma. This way you don't need to keep repeating your story. I really felt that when you explained your experiences with therapy in the past... I feel you. I know it was a completely different ball game when I finally was able to work with a trauma specialist. It wasn't until THAT type of therapy that real digging and solving began to happen. You deserve to have a team backing you. It wasn't right what happened to you as a kid, but I hope you know that you can do this. You are strong and you are smart. You know what you want but the steps to get there are hard. The steps are like... cluttered figuratively with traumas that make it incredibly difficult to make moves. But I want you to know that you are already in route. You're gonna get to where you want to be. Life is going to get better. Keep digging, crocheting, being creative and dreaming. You're gonna get there. Hugs. Keep being compassionate with yourself. You've got this. Keep reaching out for help and staying curious about how to make positive moves. The right people are going to be there as you keep knowing exactly what you want. Lots of love to you.
Oh. She needs somebody to talk to who cares on a regular basis. I know how this is. She carrys the pain daily. Butterfly I'm sorry you been failed, I hope things get better love. 💕
I've seen your comments on few videos and noticed they're always positive. The life can be really rough on the streets / in addiction and when you're on your lowest the smallest words of encouragement or positivity can have a huge impact. I'm speaking from experience, I got some stories to tell too and I guess im trying to thank you for taking the time to pay attention to "invisible" people. Respect from Finland.
@@ilarious5729 Thank you so much. I definitely get it. I'm in active Addiction myself. It's very rough, very very lonely. It helps keep me going being kind, it's something I can hold onto that can't be taken. I've got very little. I live in a burned out house with no utilities, and it's getting cold outside. The small things help get me thru it- like your comment. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
@@DetroitFettyghost I like the way you think, no matter where life takes you and what obstacles cross your path don't give up on that positive attitude. It'll pay back one day, it's already paying back if you can look in the mirror at the end of the day and be in peace with yourself. I just got back on suboxone today to get my life back on track again. I hope the best for you. we can beat this disease, it won't define us, our words and actions do.
She carry’s the pain daily… I felt that. Because I can identify. The permanent scars called mental illness from trauma .. can weigh heavy on a persons life.
She’s so beautiful. Pray she gets out and finds peace in this lifetime.
I’ve watched multiple interviews that you’ve done Mark and this one was the one that broke my heart the most. Her soul is crying for help. The inner child is still inside and hurting. I just pray for her strength and encouragement. She deserves all the blessings that’s coming to her. The Lord hears her cries and sees what she’s going through. Her breakthrough is coming. I’m praying for her!
I couldn’t figure it out, but you’re right. She is still stuck in childhood
A beautiful woman inside and out, who has been done wrong by the system again and again, sitting and speaking volumes of truth...
She been done wrong by everyone
I just want to hug her so hard. 😔 sweet girl. You never deserved any of that. You are a queen, worthy of ALL of the love and respect. Go get that dream life. You can do it.
I’ve never seen anyone to cry the way she did.
Seeing her wall breakdown when she began to tell her story was so powerful. I pray she finds happiness and peace.
It really was. 🥺🥺💔
When u people say something is power??? Do u even know what that means?? Powerful?? Or sad??
@@annaxefta587 yes powerful. shes being vulnerable, not easy to do
Alanna didn't mean to digress, you are beautiful
Yesss it was I felt her pain
People and the system may have failed you but don't fail yourself. You deserve better
Yeah😭😭 i really hope she does all she can to get out. The system and people will push down on her and disallow her to do so but I really hope she can😪
Great comment!
Agree 100%.
Amen
True! i’m sitting here thinking why not get a job? even if it’s fast food, and rent a furnished room. try to take a certificate course even if it’s CNA or Medical/dental assistant then get a decent job. get settled then go back to school again for LPN/RN. A lot of people are dealt some bad hand but they fight their way out of the mess, not sit in the crap for twenty years.
As a foster parent , this hurts me. Those Foster parents had a chance to really pour in to her , her life didn’t have to be this way. Praying she finds her way out and is able to do at least one of the dreams she wants to do. 💛
I know I don’t get how ppl can hurt these kids 😭😭😭 I wish I could be a foster parent but I don’t have the space and I wouldn’t want to bring a child child to my apartment and not have the adequate space for them I hope to be able to do this one day so bad
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” - T Real 🔥
Wow I really feel this. Its so, so true. Fresh insight. Thank you and peace be with you
Bin-go, what a profound statement, my parents had 5 kids, 4 of us chose a a positive , peaceful life and 1 decided to repeat the cycle of disfunction and chaos.
That generally is the Aquarian born Child or the beautiful Black Sheep Child or White Buffalo Child is born to break the Spell..You are very Wise Lila.
Very true
@@butterfly2604 thank you for sharing with me.
I suppose I was the black sheep and my daughter must be the white buffalo child. She drove me to face those flames. 🔥
Every video ends with Mark asking the guest "what is the most important thing you have learned in your life" and a lot of guests (especially women) reply with something along the lines of "don't trust everyone." Yet, Butterfly replies with her wisdom of blessings, lessons, universal gifts, and patience. I love Buttefly. She deserves so much more, many people do. And it's true, once you share your story... part of you cant resist the change. I hope a follow-up video is on the horizon 💙
She really is a beautiful woman , bought tears to my eyes 🥺. I pray she gets the help and strength she needs to start a new chapter in her life🙏🏽🙏🏽
The fact you cry means you still have a heart. That's a lot these days. Stay good. Don't forget how much everything is really spiritual. Love conquers everything. Keep trying.
💯💯💯💯🇭🇹✊
Well said
I know physical & sexual abuse is terrible. But "mental abuse" is way deeper. It's hard to unlearn what someone told you was negative about yourself".
You don't have wounds you can see so it's difficult to tell how you're healing. I think mental abuse actually takes way longer to heal.
So true
Poor baby…. These foster homes and orphanages every interviews sound like complete hell…. I feel so bad for her and every child that’s been in there ❤️
I really want to be a foster parent for this very reason.
@@jeshobson1999 ...I wish we could 'arrest ' the CPS and Foster families who know what they're doing to damage the children🤨
There are good foster parents but there are also many, many evil ones.
@@eaglesquedingo2112 We need more good ones!
Yoo almost all these foster home stories are horrific. And they just keep placing kids in more abusive homes, heart breaking!
Even through the tears, I see a very strong woman. It's not easy but I truly hope she finds peace, it's never too late. 🙏🏽
Wow. Speaks Spanish, wants to be a rapper, loves to crochet, loves her family unconditionally, has an entrepreneurial spirit. Is 35!
She is amazing and God didn't bring her this far to leave her. She is gonna make it out!
If she had the right opportunity she would make it out!
@@MissJ619 she can definitely make it out and create her own opportunity. Tf?! Always you negative commenters every where. Shame.
@@johnzimmerman5892 Excuse me?? How am I being negative? You sound stupid. With the right opportunity and chance she can. Im a BLACK woman just like her, I would NEVER do that to a woman who looks like me, get the F *ck on. You don't know SH*T.
She should buy some clothes with some of the money. All these interviews these women are making as much money as a doctor etc. So I'm not feeling sympathetic these women hate themselves. There are always places to go.
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 she went there and she got fucked over! All she’s known is bad and she’s not got anyone fighting for/with her only men who are after her body. So stop chatting 💩 coz life ain’t easy even when you have money
She's a real one. Strength in vulnerability. 🦋
It's interesting she talked about her horrible experience in CPS care but didn't really juxtapose that to what must be happening to her own kids within that same system. What is true is that if you were in fostercare yourself, it is much more likely that your own children will be taken away just because you are already on the government radar. The fostercare-to-fostercare and the fostercare-to-prison pipeline is real.
Word
It's truly a murderous system smh..
That's sad.
You can tell she’s a nice girl and good person, who was born into a life of drug addiction, abuse, poverty and the system. I hope she finds within herself a better way. She deserves it.
She’s brilliant, and so are you, Mark, for capturing this incredible human being!
Bravo to both of you!! 👏🏻👏🏻
lol no
This Angel just needs to know that she's worth getting out of the game. Her cries broke my heart.... The sound of years of pain and sadness. How can I help her Mark? Thank you for sharing her story to the world❤️❤️
I want to be a true friend to her too! I can help her get a trade and a real life. Selling herself is no way to live
I just really like her. Sending her nothing but love for real
Sending butterfly 🦋 lots of love. Growing up with kids in my neighborhood who went to McClaren Hall, I know the tragedies they've experienced.
Praying for healing. She's a strong woman.
What a story to tell. Thank you Mark for letting her tell it. Probably the best therapy session she’s ever had. She needed this release.
Mark is white and therefore is coldhearted and it's very hard to listen to and watch him duuuuhhhhhhh
Damn…makes you look at these women differently. This woman is very smart and business minded. She just can’t catch a break. Mark make it happen bro 😢
I smiled when she spoke of crochet with the Mexican lady.
I was thinking she could use her crochet and sewing skills to create the fashion line she’s always dreamt of
@@we3rwerw Exactly!❤
Me too. Sweet moment amongst her pain. I hope things get better for her.
I smiled to! I make Rag Rugs which is sorta like crochet with a fat crochet hook and I thought if she were here I could teach her how to make a rug for her big ole blanket she makes....
Yes me too ♥️And then it made me cry. I want her to get out of this life so bad. 🥺
It’s like she has been holding that pain and those tears for so long that it just burst out rushing. Butterfly, if you are reading this, I am truly sorry you have been treated so badly. In spite of it all, I see your strength, your beauty, your lessons learned, your intelligence, your heart. I am amazed at your strength and your ability to survive and surpass this. I hope and I think you will get to place where you can find peace and love and move forward from this very debilitating hurt.
A highly intelligent, beautiful, articulate woman that never got a break in life...shes in my heart and my prayers
funny
Foster homes are deplorable, often riddled with mental and physical, especially sexual, abuse. The emotional scars are eternal.
She should make some crocheted blankets and sell them! We would buy them up! I wanted to just hug her when she cried. She literally is crying out for help! Keep ya head up girl! ❤❤❤
I agree
That hug at the end after she had bared her soul about her entire life was worth a million fold for her I'm sure ~
✌🌷
Bless this beautiful woman’s soul. God grant her peace ❤️
Damn, her story is deep. As a father of a 5 yr old daughter and about to have another daughter due next month I'm taking this in much different because what she went through in her childhood and to see how badly it affected her into her adulthood make me wanna do better to never allow my daughters to experience this type of abuse/pain/heartache/loneliness and so much more.
To all the parents out there, hug your kid(s) and tell em you love them if they're by you or call em to tell em that you love and miss them. Our kids are the future, Teach them well, love them unconditionally and let them lead the way🙏🥺
I wish all men were like you ....put your energy out their to these young ones for real man

@@theoriginalki-ar-a4664 I will and thank you for your kind words
@@dominiquejenkins5495 Thank you and I intend to continue doing that 🙇🏻♂️
Of course our childhood affects us. . What we go thru as kids grooms and form us into what type of adult we will be and how we present ourselves to the world..
This is exactly why we have so much human hurt, pain, murderers, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually ill people, just running wild on the earth. contributing to the world's chaos, darkside and alone why we have good people.. that have an passion to help others... because they can personally relate, know people from dysfunctional backgrounds or they are Being's born as natural empaths with healing spirits... so they are drawn to helping wounded souls.. For me, It's all of those reasons that, I naturally have a draw to hurt people.. I'm a empath and I absorb other's pain. Which is hard on my soul and very debilitating for my Spirit that's why I don't personally have people close to me emotionally.. It's too much. Especially since I don't & have never had RECIPROCITY when it comes to comforting wounded souls..
She's so right about therapy being so hard to start over with someone new, just when you think you're getting somewhere with one, they up and leave and you have to go through it all over again...ugh! Schizophrenia is a horrible mental illness to have to deal with. God bless her ❤ 💙 💜
I don’t think she ever stated that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia but that she was hearing voices which can be a symptom of many types of different disorders and illnesses.
10:45 Dear God do you hear her cries.
Her hurt goes back, way back
I pray for her healing and new journey, I pray she gets her babies back and break this cycle because she's worth it and capable. My deepest prayers go out to her. Not all "females"/women are grimy. I pray your angel is revealed to you soon. Everyone failed her
Yeah. God hears it. I’m sure. But does nothing. So why do u people still ask this imaginary person to help. Lol. Why don’t u help with some money instead of praying for someone fake to help?
@@annaxefta587 I would entertain the thought of a response to you but you lack the intellect to proceed. So aimless wanderer of the night, scat
@@annaxefta587 and for future references, you shouldn't project your impoverished state of mind on others, Marc sends out information to help, have you, nah, you don't have it
@@annaxefta587 If you don't believe, why not just overlook the comment?
These sessions with Mark allow the person to vent, more than they thought too, to the point of sobbing and soul-bearing, both therapeudic, cathartic. It can set the spark inside them on the path to changing their lives. I often wonder how many have gone on for the better. She cries at 4:30, and full-on sobbing by 14:33. Its heart-wrenching. " I'm still here doing this" ... "I know I'm better than this". She's a good soul who missed her mom & siblings. Mom's addiction put them in Foster care, who failed her miserably, as I hear far too often. Butterfly loves to crochet! A Mexican lady taught her. Its the unforeseen link towards her future. I have high hopes for her 🙏💓. Please followup, Mark. 😌🐦
She really spoke to my heart and mind. “Take everything as a blessing and a lesson”.
I recognize and I respect the way she is so direct, aware, and candid. She has everything it takes, even if it takes her all.
Butterfly said blessings come with lessons. I think it's evident she has learned many lessons,won many battles. She is due for all the blessings coming her way.
Butterfly, you ARE worthy of acknowledgement, understanding, and care.
When she said “I’m a big girl so I choked him back” I felt that 🤣🙌🏼👌🏼💪🏼

I'd love to paint a portrait of her with wings
Please do a follow up! Love her energy and praying for her.
Great energy.
Yea I want her as a regular like Amanda was rip
I love Butterfly. She’s has so much beauty; inside and outside. I wish that she had the support of other women who are healthy because healthy women can be a wonderful support system especially if there is shared history. She’s also so intelligent. It surprised me that she can only picture herself doing what she is doing now but I understand it is because of her life history. She could be so much more…she deserves to be so much more. The world needs women like her who have been through such hell and have managed to get out to show other women how to do it.
Butterfly would be an exceptional teacher and mentor, if she would only allow it…
I’m holding a space for you butterfly. A space where you can be who you were created to be, not the false women who was molded by unspeakable trauma. Crying is healing because you have lots of pain to get out and to get through. I was relieved to see you cry because for many years I couldn’t and only through crying did I open the door for healing.
CPS gets away with lots of crap. It is designed for failure and to not believe children unless someone in the system has something to gain from believing them. You are not alone. You have a wonderful since of humor and are one of the best storyteller’s that I’ve ever seen. Here’s a mantra that you can feel free to use, if it appeals to you, “I am good, worthy and worth the effort.”
Look at yourself in the mirror right in the eyes as many times each day as you can while repeating it out loud (assuming it is safe to say it aloud.) Also, use it as a mantra. A mantra is a positive sentence that could be repeated to oneself, over and over again. Especially when a person feels confused, anxious, sad, depressed or whenever it may cross the mind or when a person doesn’t know what to think or say. Eventually, something shifts inside for the better. I send you blessings, good energy and good thoughts. ❤️🤗
Thank you I really appreciate it
@@butter_buttfly thank YOU for your openness and honesty. It’s stories like yours and how others react to and learn from them that actually gives me a sliver of hope for this (unfortunately possibly still) doomed society.
You have been let down so much through your life Butterfly. When you cried so deep from your soul you touched my soul. You are such a strong independent beautiful woman, and I hope you come back here and read all these comments in praise of you and see that we are all sending love and prayers for you and that you find a way to get out of this. Sending love & peace from New Zealand xx
Hey New Zealand in the house I appreciate what you said I'm loving all the praise I didn't think that people will feel this way I thought that I was being a big crybaby because I haven't cried in a long time only when I'm angry we just talking about my life maybe emotional and I just want to thank you for your message and your prayers
This lady made my heart shatter when she broke down and sobbed.
You are a beautiful lady and have so much more to give, there’s still time to do all you want to in life. Massive hugs to you sweetheart.
I love seeing Mark hug them afterward, sometimes that is the little genuine affection and caring interaction some of them receive.
If I ever see her, I'ma hug her tight 💕 She deserves rest, she deserves to feel safe, and she deserves peace 🕊️ A true victor, stay strong pretty one 🦋 Abundance protection promotion around us all ✨
I love when they start off acting all hard, and then they begin hearing themselves speak based on one of Mark's questions and break down crying. That Brokenness is the beginning of clarity and healing. I'm praying for you Butterfly!!!
The system is so corrupt. The pain that she’s suppressed all these years, my goodness. You are better, you are worth it beautiful butterfly!!! It’s never too late to grow and break the chains! Use the suffering you’ve been through as motivation. I pray she finds healing and changes her life. ❤️🙏🏼
Mark, you are a wonderful man. I love that you treat everyone you interview as what they are (Human). As for Butterfly, you are a beautiful soul and pray you find a way out and live the rest of your life in peace.
When she cried, my heart broke. She really suffers so much.
When she said, "I'm a popular loner", that really resonated with me. I was Prom Queen, I have 10 siblings, and most of my childhood friends still live in the area. I'm to myself or with my partner 90% of the time. I trust no one bc of childhood trauma.
Yes! Story of my life

You can tell, underneath the hurt, Butterfly has a sweet, motherly nature. I hope she gets to be the real her one day.
It’s crazy how when you’ve been through this much trauma, you instantly revert back to the child you were when it all started the moment you start to tell your story. I feel for her so much. I feel the longing she still has for her mother and her family even in her 30s. I can relate 100% I’m 25 and I still want my mom. I didn’t foresee her getting emotional because in this life I know shes had to learn to hold herself up so when she cried I cried. Queen you have so many people rooting for you. I believe in you
She is stunning.
True, somehow captivating and hauntingly beautiful.
This is devastating to watch. She’s still this beautiful little girl who was just thrown away. I wish I could meet her and just hug her and tell her she’s worth having a great life. Love to you, Butterfly ❤️
She deserves so so much more. Prayers for her ♥️
I hope she finds the ability to trust someone soon. This lady deserves respect, and she deserves the feeling of having someone to lean on.
She has my heart aching this afternoon. Hearing her weep when she said “ If we knew where she lives now “ 💔💔💔
When she started crying, I never wanted to hug someone so badly.
My heart melted seeing her break down. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her how beautiful and resilient she is. My God, these interviews are tough.
It shows you cannot just judge people off of one look. She’s a caring, loving, hurt, abused beautiful woman with FEELINGS and a heart! It’s heartbreaking watching people who were failed by the adults that should have taken care of them and made them feel safe!
OMG, this beautiful soul...when you cry like that it comes from a deep-rooted hurt like no other. She was never heard, never understood, and never cared for by people she was supposed to be able to trust. I am sending love and prayers. I hope we can get a follow up on her. (I am also praying for her 3 children, I am sure they feel like she did when she was put into placement...another generation). It is unfortunate that she has been made a container for other people's rage! this hurts my heart. blessings to you for the work you do by allowing these beautiful hearts a safe space.
She hustles for survival. She deserves a warm home, loving family and to feel safe in her skin. ❤
Do not give your past the power to define who you are. You are stronger than you will ever believe and your greatest strengths come from your hardest struggles.
I love this, very true ❤️
She's definitely going to make it out! Sending my love to her!
My god, this interview really broke my heart. When she broke down the way she did, i cant even imagine going through everything she went through. She’s beautiful and brave i hope she finds her peace. It’s sad how much the system failed her.
I started crying only 5 minutes in. This poor girl was dealt a bad hand in life and it is so brave of her to talk about this. I wish that I could just hug her right now
I wish people could realize your past does not define who you are. Only you decide what defines you and who you are. The past is life's, the future is yours.
Agreed that only you can define who you are words to live by👍🏾.
These tears are probably just what she needed to start her healing journey. I look forward to seeing what/who she becomes. I’m rooting for you Butterfly, and everyone else is too. It won’t be easy, but you’ve got this girl! 🙏🏽💪🏾💗❤️❤️
I was thinking the same thing...I think her being on this platform to let it all out will definitely help with her healing process
Absolutely horrifying!! Butterfly needs to continue to speak her truth. So many need to hear this. I admire you Butterfly. You are so courageous. Epic system fail from the beginning to the end. Good God they all failed her in every single way.
Mark ty for every beautiful soul n voice u share..
These will live on forever..
You're helping many people..
N you're showing us how to keep our empathy n compassion
How not to judge
And be thankful..
I think this means more than you'll know
I just want to hug her so tight. Butterfly you deserve so much love 💕
