when she says she was a lazy child, what she doesn't realize is that she wasn't lazy, she was burnt out and possibly depressed from years of low vibrating adults weighing her down
this!!
Ya...
No, she meant she was lazy.
@@NPFederation0 obviously you haven’t been through no hard shit in life for you to be saying some shit like this. Don’t comment on something you don’t understand
Nah MY mother wasn’t lazy smh this bitch left me and my sisters behind and didn’t wanna do jail time because she missed court for us girls 😂 she the reason why my sister is dead in 1997 she was fucking men’s while my dad was working for us nah she lazy lazy now she wants to blame me for my dad Divorcing her after cheating my dad many fucking years since she had Erica
"I was a lazy child. I didn't want to do anything"
NO, you were severely depressed!
I often think that most people's laziness stems from depression, because happy people are usually full of energy and chipper.
@@bonethugsfiend yes!
True but sometimes even if you are an addict and depressed you’ve got to get out there, walks or bike rides, any form of exercise in your free time and focusing on something you are good at. I’m not happy a lot off the time because I have a problem with alcohol and other issues but I still force myself to exercise and socialise because it’s beneficial. If you spend all your life eating junk and staying in bed your not really helping yourself 🤨🗣
@@j.c7719 sure, it's obviously good for those with depression to push themselves or sometimes be pushed to get moving, but you obviously have not had severe depression. It's debilitating!
And my guess with this lady is that she didn't have a lot of positive encouragement to stay motivated.
@@j.c7719 just because one takes meds doesn't mean they have it severe to the point of not being able to get out of bed at all for days. I mean to the point of having trouble getting up to even go to the bathroom.
And again, captain obvious, yes of course it's good to get exercise and eat well. No one was desputing that.
But we were talking about this woman as a little girl. She wasn't necessarily lazy given her trauma.
She seems very grounded for a meth addict. Most of the other meth addicts on this channel seem scattered and quite out of touch with reality, but she is remarkably level headed and coherent. If I didn't already know it, I wouldn't even suspect she had an addiction. I truly hope she can get clean
She likely has ADHD. I’m assuming because she mentions she was a lazy child, that crystal helps her get things done and care about her appearance, and generally people with ADHD tend towards smoking and drugs to find that dopamine we lack. I always joke that I essentially take legal meth (Adderall) to treat my ADHD. But watching this I can only imagine if I had grown up in her life, unknowingly struggling with my condition, searching for that dopamine, and in that environment? It’s not surprising. She’s treating her condition in a sense finally, but it took her a while to get there and sadly it’s really not in a great way.
@@xxBlueCinnamonxx Is there a natural way get dopamine?
@Nadia Galactica could you potentially have ADHD and were never diagnosed? Women tend to be diagnosed later in life. I wasn’t diagnosed until I turned 25 last year. ADHD is a lot more complex than you see in the media and it took a lot education from my psychiatrist to help me understand and accept that I did in fact have this. I thought I had depression and anxiety but those were a result of the distress caused by my poor executive functioning.
@Jasmin Flower Exercise . . . Keep yourself moving with purpose, accountability, and discipline. Having a purpose is big. I've had and do have my issues with depression. I've been surrounded by drugs all of my life, but aside from the curious experimentation with Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and a taste of cocaine in the late eighties, I have stayed away from drugs knowing that the temporary hardwiring of the brain has catastrophic effects. And sex is a beneficial way to boost dopamine, but you should be healthy all around.
Out in Hawaii you see this often. 1 in every 20 meth heads out here can actually speak to you coherently and may even be living a “normal life” (has a job, a house, and a family). However, these people generally bring meth into their families, so while they may be doing well, they’re children or siblings are homeless and lost.
Generationall abuse. Shes telling us from 3 yrs old she remembers a bottle of vodka in the middle of the table. Any body with a heart i think would know that shes actually speaking from her heart. God bless u Edwina💘
My heart goes out to her. I feel like she was set up for failure from the day she was born. What a strong woman she is to have survived the life she's had. And she admits to everything ...never plays the victim...and admits to doing wrong / making bad decisions...i hope she finds peace and happiness from now on
Lmao don’t let this woman fool you my grandma loved the fuck outta my mom SHE WAS THE ONE THAT RAN AWAY FRIM MY GRANDMA SHE AND MY MOM HAD MY OLDER SISTER ERICA SHE LEFT MY GRANDMA TO RAISE HER TIL MY GRANDMA DIED IF CANCER
Blame it on whatever you want. People make their own decisions. My dads drinking did nothing but make me want to never become that. It's the person. They make a choice. Nobody's fault but their own. Its tough to say. But we're all big kids. We can make our own decisions.
It's important to grow up, become self aware, gain knowledge and BREAK GENERATIONAL CURSES.
Edwina said she was a "lazy" child, she was a Depressed child from all the trauma she endured
I thought exactly the same when she said she was a lazy child.. no my babe, you were depressed.
Yes I thought so too
It’s hard for even 7 years comprehend much less what feeling they are feeling. She was told she was lazy- 7 year old hear associated whatever feelings she had with laziness. This is a huge problem with people that deny mental disorder exists
yep. same
Back in that time depression was seen in laziness
She's a beautiful, wise lady. I'm sorry for the children she lost and all the trauma she's been through. I hope she gets back into recovery
This woman was an amazing storyteller, I was enthralled the whole time. She reminds me of my Aunties ☺️
Totally agree. I’ve re watched it several times. Definitely one of the best interviews
This was a good interview. She was able to tell her story without too much prompting.
It’s amazing that this woman is still standing with all the trauma she has been through! God bless her!
People have been thru worse….and more…..
Meth addicts lie in my experience. Who knows what was real in that story.
@jessicagoodwin501 no its not that they are lying it's the psychosis they generally what they are saying when my aunt was on it she thought my cousin put meth in her hair and yes it was a lie but she generally believed that my cousin put the meth in her hair
There is something about this woman…. She is so comforting and peaceful in a way… my heart goes out to her. She belongs an old grandmother in a rocking chair reading stories and rocking her grandchildren to sleep looking out upon a vista of beautiful landscape…I just want to hug her and call her home and help her find comfort in this horrible world
I love her mentality. Her honesty. Her story is truly heart breaking.
I feel terrible for the trauma Edwina has suffered, she is very well spoken for a meth addict. Its crazy the way drugs work differently from one persons body chemistry to the next. Ive seen so many meth addicts who stumble over their words & are unable to put a sentance together much, much younger than her
She is a beautiful Native American, strong woman....hope she gets out of that awful situation.
Whoever didn't thumbs up this common is jelous
No she is not any of those things.
@@Stephen_Luther she's nasty
@@Stephen_Luther you sure your not talking about yourself? Cause she most definitely is. Don't know about you though....
@@gingerdanger6670 you're nastier. Your mom did a piss poor job at teaching you how to respect others.
Edwina,
I appreciate you sharing your story
I too am an addict, in recovery at the moment.
I can really relate to you. I’m 40 alcoholic, loved speed and now am off all that shit.
I am a mixed breed, mexicana, native, Scottish, Irish.
I am a Pisces, always thinking in the dream world dimension.
I think you are wise and have a shining spirit.
I hope for you and your family that you can find the best path to take because you have the ability.
I think you should remember that this life you lived and live is only one reality
You need to connect with the elders, spiritually, with mother and father and brothers and sisters.. I don’t mean humans!
We are all connected and I feel connected to you.
I have had the fortune to walk in other sacred places with ancestors and have found a healing and a hope and a knowing
I appreciate you dear sister💜
Gene you have fought your shadows and one.
I sense you will spread your light to many.
Write. Write it all out.
People need to know it.
Great post! I love the spiritual focus with traditional native religious approach. Good on you for your sobriety, also!
♡♡♡
Suck to be Pisces. I'd love to be Scorpio.
dont say you are an addict. Anything you say.with I am.....you stamp it. You made bad choices in the past and now you make good choices for yourself.
I’m from Oklahoma I’m from the area she is from . I know people like this . I grew up around all of this . Sadly her story is not unique. In 2020 some progress has been made but there is a long way to go for native population in Oklahoma and everywhere to overcome and change the generational abuse/ neglect. Prayers for Edwina and her family.
😢
Never knew this was going on
Another person who’s only known pain most of her life. I hope someday her kids forgive her and they can all heal.
@@MudGod1969 ur just jellus
@@youremybiggestfan yea that makes sense.
TheMudgod you're a bitch & Karma dont miss nobody. You better hope you're able to even enjoy any children you might have and that nothing worse happens to them.
Kianda Copeland he’s not talking to op he’s talking to Tito Perez bro chill out
Kianda Copeland he wasn’t talking about the original poster
I’m surprised her kids reached back out to her. The pain of having a parent walk out on you is terrible. But as a child you always want to feel that love from a parent. I hope her kids/ex husband are good. I hope she finds peace and stays safe 🙏🏼
Angie Valencia I feel like she was lying about that part
Can i reach out to you baby you fine as hell lol.
I don’t. I’ve always reached back out to my parents. They might be addicts but they are still my parents.
We reached out to her because we went to live in a foster house and was abused.
Her daughter was murdered
I’m so happy to finally see a native. Not happy to see her on skid row
Me too, unfortunately for our people her story is not unique.
Yes. I’m from Canada and my mom was taken from her parents too. She Ojibwe
Ally, featured on this channel months ago, is Native Alaskan
Right!
The majority of street people in some places in Canada are indigenous. This fuels a stereotype that it is an indigenous problem. I went to BC for the first time a few years ago and took a walk down hastings st. where for the first time I saw all nationality of people on the street. I mean it was very shocking to see an Asian man which I had not seen my entire life where I am from. My whole perspective was altered in these moments and the feelings that flooded over me that this can really happen to anyone. I hope this woman can find some help in this life and better days. 🧡
I knew she was native as soon as she opened her mouth. I’m Choctaw. Her story is every native woman’s story.
No it isn't. Not to be confrontational A1... Just a fact.
A1Ananda “every native women story “ made my cry :
My ex wife is 99.8 crow and she got lucky was adopted by her well educAted aunt and taken off the reservation at age 4 or this could have been her story too. My sons are members of the crow tribe and we often go to Montana to visit and do Crow Fair in August.
Chuck Bankston yep. Your ex was very lucky. Anyone who was raised on a reservation knows at least someone just like the lady in this video. It’s extreme poverty. Although, *some* reservations are trying to do better nowadays. It’s a very hard life.
w link first of all this broken and hurt human being is an addict, not a “junkie!” Addiction is a disease. She is a victim. Second, I LOVE hearing about native women who are successful. It’s amazing! What I was referring to is the extreme difficulty in us achieving anything based on the conditions we had to live under on the rez. Many native women are stuck. They are surviving as best they can and I don’t judge anyone. I’m a survivor and so are you.
After listening to her speak, she doesn't sound like she would leave her children. Just shows that growth is real. Great things await you Ma'am, go get them!
No human being is ever past the point of being able to grow. Don't count anyone out.
Natives suffer from what I would call “generational sin and disease” stemming from when the Europeans came and completely destroyed their life and culture. But knowing this, it’s important for all Native people to bring the disease and disorder to light, and learn to love ourselves. (I am Southern Ute from Colorado.) End the generations of illness, addiction, incest, abuse, hopelessness, suicide by doing whatever it takes to better your life. We could be such a strong people, but instead we are abject and defeated. My heart hurts for Native women who are in the lowest position in the community, and their children, neglected and abused. Thank you Mark for raising awareness. Now let us Indian people restore our relationship to the Creator and heal our disease. Break free.

Yeah, they had a really high level of culture, didn't they?
GTFO of here. It’s called war, history, the study of sociology and anthropology. Native Americans also conquered other tribes and fought each other. Natives are from Asia and crossed the Bering straight. All cultures and societies did this. And the conquerers or strongest ones write history. It’s a fact of life. In some ways the story is a bit analogous to gypsies in Europe (who came from India btw). The question is why they’re defeated.
@@ccinSFfruitloop All ethnicities have divided and conquered but if it's white it ain't right.
Pregnant at 13...damn that’s so sad
Ok and you got teens as young as 12 out here normalizing it now and days, so throw the stone at all to blame not her
@@monicapadilla2862 I'm not blaming her, I'm just saying its a sad thing.
Edwina has had a hard life. The scars of her burns are evident. And the scars of her experiences are evident in her face and in her dialogue. My heart goes out to her. I hope she finds peace one day and she deserves some happiness in her life. She one strong woman and I love her for loving her 3 cats and a dog.
Any story is worth hearing. Ppl say crack heads lie. This may be true BUT her story is her story and her perspective of how things went down. Its sad how someone can speak such tragic events that many of us have never been through and can say shes a lier. How can she ever have a chance?
Amen. Well said. Your so right. I respect all people’s story’s, regardless of struggle. There’s no point in saying “they’re lying”... what does that matter? Unless you’re trying to get close to the person, lying only hurts the person tellin the lie.
I’d rather assume their honest, then to call them a liar without knowing the facts. Again, it doesn’t hurt me if they’re lying, only hurts them..
When I used to use I actually felt more comfortable with reality, i was able to me more truthful and honest contrary to the common belief.
Yea, i think ( im no expert ) everyone has a different experience when it comes to using. These interviews maybe so therapeutic for many of them and the only time they get to be hurd. Its not right for people to be so judgmental.
@@almadeluz501 because reality matters.
that's why the leftist nonsense of "your truth" or "my truth" is fucking retarded.
truth isn't subjective.

I love when they go on and on without many questions. You can tell she has been reflecting on her life for a very long time and she needed to tell her story. I hope she gets better.
Well said
"Crystal Meth saved my life..."
Strange product endorsement.
More like chrystal meth "sucked the life out of me" cause thats exactly what it does.
If a person is heavily traumatised and in such emotional pain then suicide becomes a rational way to stop it. Although drugs are hardly a healthy choice they provide an immediate recourse to manage that particular anguish at that particular time. Drugs, alcohol do indeed save lives or make life manageable until some other recovery programs can intervene. It's hard for anyone who hasn't been in such a desperate situation to imagine that drugs, alcohol can save a person from suicide.
@@jackinthebox6143 Thank you for posting perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever read on RUclips, the internet, or in any other form of communication any human being has ever engaged in.
Please explain to me how the brain dysfunction know as addiction makes anything better.
And, please do it without creating the straw man/false dichotomy of saying that the choice boils down to addiction or suicide.
Dont djugdge
@@Waltham1892 I don't think they said it made anything better, I think they said it can save someone from suicide and provide immediate relief from unmanageable, untreated trauma. 😒🙄
I really enjoyed her Interview and I'm wishing her the best
Brave lady sharing her tough story!! She is 1 tough cookie!
So much respect for her she takes responsibility for her actions and admits to her faults!
It is never too late to change your ways, I pray she gets the help she needs 🙏🏽
Man, videos like this make me seriously grateful that I had amazing parents.
Her accountability for her actions was refreshing ❤️ Wishing her love peace strength and positivity. Prayers 🧎🏾♀️
I honestly could listen to her tell her story for hours! The way she describes her journey is so incredible to listen too. But heartbreaking also.
No questions asked, what a story, wish her well.
Wow Mark! Another GREAT interview! This ladies story really touched me! Wishing her nothing but the best in the future!
How many admit that yes, they're a mother and had kids, but was never a "mom." Started gettin molested in first grade, dear God...😭
One of the best interviews on here, wishing her all the best.
I really love how honest and raw she is , i hope she gets better 🙏🏽 prayers
"my only serenity was going to school"
i caught that too 😔
when does she say this?
@@adrianvillegas2104 at 2:59
Very well spoken. Prayers for her to turn her life around. She deserves much better. 😢
I hope no one ever goes through as much darkness as this lady has..to lose a child has to be the worst pain. It says a lot about her that she understands her son's choice not to acknowledge her however I do hope one day they will find a good place together. She shows a lot of strength when she talks about crack. Good luck on your journey sweet lady.
She is so honest. Love it ♥️ I pray that she gets clean and lives a happy life.
She’s a great story teller. Her flow is from memory and felt very genuine. I feel so bad for all her loss of life with her kids omg 💔
Vodka was the daily Ovaltine my parents prefered as well growing up from ever since I could remember (Age 2 or 3) until it took my father's life when I was 14 and finally convinced my mother get sober 20 years later. I remember both of them sending my brother and I to the corner market many times with a note to procure their poison. Towards the end, we would sometimes go back for a second gallon, along with of course their carton of Marlboro reds.. painful memories😐
💕💛
So sorry you had to do with that Heather, hope Things are better for you now. Kinda reminds me of watching my mom going to the bathroom with her friends to get high and come out all of a sudden super nice.
Thank you for sharing. You're obviously educated and well-spoken. It's good to hear these stories so those "in" it can trust they can overcome. I WISH we could change the reality of alcoholic parenting but it would appear the best we can hope for is the resilience of the children, like yourself.
how terrible that store willingly sold alcohol to children, even knowing it was going to adults. like wtf?!?!
My grandmother would send me to the store for beer and cigs. As the youngest, I was the last of 4 grandchildren that did that.
Who's the "little doorman" she spoke of?
She reminds me and looks like my mom. She threw all her 4 kids away for drugs and a meth head boyfriend that beats her and is gay. He uses my mom for money he makes her work n pay all the bills while she’s on drugs too I hate meth. It tore my family up. I pray everyday for my siblings it’s hard out here man.
Damn I can relate all too well I'm sorry to hear that believe me addiction destorys everything.... I pray that you do better, you seem like an intelligent person.
WΛSTED TΛLENT yessss thank you!! Every day is a blessing and a chance at life
Stay up. wish you and your family the best
ThejayL0456 thank you!!❤️
@Zert Teyyy no i am not actually I’m a certified dental assistant . What about you ?
She looks Native American. I wonder if she’s seminole
I think she is she spoke about being looked down and something like: You know how the system works against us natives and other minorities” it was quick to catch as there is so much heavy, awful and horrifying things she’s experienced her entire life that she opened up about.
She mentions being an American Indian.
My natives from Oklahoma are Cherokee
She was 3yrs old living in the Everglades. That's Seminole country (well, it used to be!)
❤️
I'm truly sorry for your loss of your 25 daughter. I know that you're going through a lot of pain. My condolences goes out to you and your family
Her story is heartbreaking. I love the realness that she has. I truly hope she can find the peace she needs. She accepts what she has done and owns every mistake she has made. I love this lady. I hope she gets to have some type of relationship with her babies.. I'm sending out all my love so maybe it'll erase some hate in this world.. Thanks for sharing your story..
i could listen to Edwina for hours, hope she finds peace, pray for Edwina tonite.
I will pray for Edwina..
Just so heartbreaking. This lady makes me so teary. The grief she has had to endure. These interviews are great at allowing you to see how blessed you are. These people contend with horrific hardships, over and over . I hope this lovely lady find peace, love and sobriety.
Bruh.... you got some AMAZING content. Just WOW. So moving. These videos make me want to help people.
Thank you for giving these people a voice!! I love Soft White Underbelly !!❤ Much Love to this beautiful lady!!❤
All i can say is...I like this woman ,I like her personality...I'm sorry to hear she had to endure so much suffering in her life,and I hope things get better 💝
I am german, watching all the interviews over here, it's very interesting hearing every persons story, so people can learn from them and not to judge negative yo quick, she seems she's good woman, god bless her
@Zert Teyyy grüß Gott 🙂
I love her honesty... bless you Indian women.... there is a prescription for a legal meth substitute... I hope she gets some help.....I think she’s incredible in her situation...
what is it
Dreyden Whelan Is it adderall?
“Desoxyn”
Dreyden Whelan adderall/desoxyn
Desoxyn is a prescribed medication that is literally meth amphetamine.
These interviews make me so sad and cry, but I need to watch, I can't look away and I don't know why. I'll never judge any of these people being interviewed, as they are telling their truth. This woman seems so sweet for all she's been through. She doesn't seem as though she would hurt anyone physically or in any abusive way. This story is so sad. I've often heard that school is often the safest place for some kids, makes my heart and soul ache. Bless you, stay strong, stay kind. ♡
When she said she's glad she ages very well at 53 years of age, though.😢 She has been through a lot in her defense. She's a good person. You can tell.
Such a beautiful, strong, intelligent women. This is honestly one of my favourite interviews on this channel. She has such a good soul , she is so broken and it my heart hurts for her. If I could give her a hug i would.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. She took the stage and simply told her story. She has no doubt had a horrible life from childhood through adulthood. Trauma mixed with drugs will spiral you down quick. I hope she finds her way to a life that is kind and nurturing one day.
Edwina you are so eloquent a brilliant orator . Your honesty is refreshing , you are a good person , get clean and get away from there .
You really have not heard any good speakers.
It's crazy how all these people remember story from there life at 4-5 years old.....I can't remember what I did yesterday
I remember my trauma's very clear, i think that's often the case..

So genuine, I can feel it just listening and watching.
@softwhiteunderbelly who is your doorman? And did you already interview him? Or did I hear something wrong?
My heart goes out to this woman. She seems to have a good heart, but she was dealt some bad cards in life. I hope she pulls through ok.
Sending Love & Healing Energy To You Edwina🕯✨❤️ From Ft.Lauderdale FL
I could spend hours listening to her stories. Thank you for sharing Edwina and Mark 💜
May her daughter and her mother rest in peace.
Her son as well 🙏🏼
Amen
She has no right to talk about my sister like that she not even once gaf about me or sisters but who the fuck she getting her next dick from while my dad was out working his ass off for us 😂 the audacity of her tho but Rest In Peace my twin ❤
I see strength. Ill.pray for her . Shes such a kind old soul who just needed to vibrate higher
Life stories like Edwinas remind me of the strength of the human spirit. She and I are close to the same age but she endured miles more hardships than myself.
Wow, we can hear the work she's done in her life. Still tough, but so much better than it could have been. Prayers for your continued strength.
13:58 Hilarious! Edwina made me laugh when she said that. I love her. She makes me smile with her honesty. She is a wise woman. She is so real and genuine. Her story is heartbreaking but she carries herself with grace and dignity.
A Rottweiler!! She’s lucky to have survived that attack
Not really considering the situations that ended up happening in her life
John C well they wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t survive 😐
serendipity - I think that is what he is saying.
This is honestly the best RUclips channel on this site. Literally helping countless people stay on the right path and fix themselves. Grateful for these videos tbh.
This channel give me hope 🙏🏾
Thank you for telling your story Edwina, you’re a great story teller, I’m so sorry for all the trauma you’ve been through, you are a beautiful lady and I really hope and pray you can get clean and have some happiness in your life 🙏🏻❤️✌🏼
I am so sorry for the loss of her daughter. Thank you Mark for letting her tell her story. It's heart breaking. Right off. I knew she was Native American and know of the historical trauma that Native Americans endured.
Great interview.
What an unbelievably strong woman. Nobody deserves to go through all that but too many still do. Stay strong sis. And I hope they catch the piece of garbage that killed your daughter. Thoughts from Australia ❤️
I listen ( paused at 8:35 ) to Edwina, and there is a depth to her being that is rich in all its sadness and tragedy. She and all of the others you have interviewed are the poetry and beauty of life from which music, art, poetry, and deep wisdom are derived from a dark wellspring. I wish Edwina and all to whom I've listened here only grace, peace, and love.
She reminds me of my grandmother physically and a little vocally. I wish her well.
I had to respond, because she reminds me of my grandmother as well!
As another fellow native, please keep fighting , please keep your head up , despite this cruel world and all the odds that’s are against us in it , we are the natives that they couldn’t destroy, I’m proud to be native cause my ancestors didn’t have the chance to be
I'm Hawaiian, I feel the same. It's so heartbreaking for me to watch Hawaiians destroying Hawaiians 😭.......🐎🌪️
Just to clarify, not all of us in OK look down on Native Americans. I live in Ada and this town would not be half as good if not for the Chickasaw Nation.
This is the only video I have of my mom. Wishing her peace.
I watch tons of Marks videos and similar ones on other channels, why do addicts continue to have children? Having one child I can understand being hopeful that parenthood can change a person’s whole life and encourage sobriety. If one child turns out to be a difficult responsibility or taken by the authorities why have more? Adoption is a great option that could eliminate tons of trauma. I try to be empathetic to all the stories I hear and could never relate to but I’m disturbed when the stories involve children. The generational abuse and trauma needs to end.
I think you can't expect good decision making from people that never had an example of how that is done.. mix that with substance abuse..
It takes a lot of support to become an individual.. And.. take away people's ground to stand on and expect them to fly is not how it works..
What a beautiful soul.
I couldn't imagine having to lose my children. The pain of that would cause someone to prey upon other vices.
God bless this woman xo
Hope shes doing well.. safe and warm.
I knew she was Native and from the midwest from her photos. This was a great interview. I just hate that she thinks drugs saved her life.
It sounds like she may be ADHD
That's just an excuse for her to continue to use, sad
Edwina is my age! She looks twenty years older than me! Of all the videos I’ve watched, ALL the people, she’s touched me most. She has so much potential. So much intelligence. So much to offer this world if she can only find her peace!❤️
This woman's life is so tragic that she really truly believes that statement "crack saved my life"&that is probably one of the saddest things I've ever heard .she was obviously told when being beaten that she was fat &felt undeserving bc of that then add in all the tragedy with her kids it's no wonder she ran&emotionally &physically distanced herself. She said goodbye to that daughter yrs ago when doctors said she wouldn't live &so she left then the daughter showed up a grown woman yrs later to tragically end up murdered ,it probably felt like she'd already said goodbye yrs previous. What a sad life.
Sending Love and light your way Edwina!❤️
Whoa, wow. What an incredibly well spoken individual. An easy one for you, you deserve it.
Happy New Year, SWU

LMAO 😅
i love seeing all the mind comments about to people being interviewed i wish there was a way for them to see all these comments i’m sure it would make their day
and it’s so rare when addicts realize the consequences of their use that’s like the hardest thing to get someone to realize sometimes it’s insane how smart these people can be and far they could’ve gone in life if they were given a different childhood but it’s such an amazing thing that she knows she needs to quit and she knows her limits and when she needs to quit something
Aww when she said thank you for interviewing me 💞
Hope she's doing better today, looks like a wiser, very down to earth. For having used hard drugs for so many years, her ability to remember details like dates and times is impressive. I'm sorry for her past full of negative events.
Remarkable amount of insight. ❤️❤️❤️Keep up the great work, sir.
All these people praising this lady. I don't get it. Her poor children.
Shout out to my oaky family, and the black Choctaws
She told her story so damn smooth for all the pain she endured I hope in her next life it's not a nitemare god bless her
My mum used to take my beatings for me 😭. I'm glad she got to know and recognise genuine love from her grandpa, but I wonder why her mum chose abusers for husbands if her dad, Edwina's grandpa was so good? You weren't lazy, you were depressed and lacking vitality. Sorry your son passed away. Poor woman lost her daughter. Molestation at grade 1 - 4yrs old must have been awful. Respect to Edwina for admitting she failed her kids and glad she is talking to them now. Hope she gets off the meth. Crystal may seem like its saving your life, it will steal your soul eventually like all other meth addicts. I hope she can get to the root of her issues which make her do drugs. I used to take speed (UK base) and thought it was good at first but it soon turned bad. You still have morals and give yourself positive self talk, please find help to get off meth and make the most of that little spark inside of you. This may well bring you closer to your kids. Sorry about the ones you lost, yeah, you made mistakes but you still have a spark, don't let drugs snuff it out forever.
