To all those asking about my mum. She is still an alcoholic (she has been for over 15 years now) and she shows no signs of recovery. She still has her good days and her bad days. Last year she had a "mini stroke" which damaged her brain and she's very bad at remembering things now.
I watched this 7 years ago not understanding what Lizzie went through. Seven years later I realize she went through a lot and she truly made sure all of our childhoods were great with her uplifting and positive videos We love you so much Lizzie!!
So many people came back to this years later, now older, and get the revelation of her difficult life and just how strong she truly is. Glad I'm not the only one.
As a 10-ish year old I didn’t realise how sad this was because it was my normal. Lizzie gave me the strength to speak out about my own childhood, it gave me the childhood I missed out on her beautiful personality and videos would always helped me leave the world I used to live in and I will always be forever grateful ❤️❤️💗
Thank you for saying this. I just did a long, annoying paragraph because I didn’t know how to word it. I am 14 now and was 7 when this first came out, relating to it but not understand why.
So we really ignoring the fact that Lizzie had such a struggle with her life with the alcoholic mom and she lost her only cat yet she still stayed happy and independent and did the things she love and got the guy IN THE END. YOU ARE MY IDOL LIZZIE I LOVE YOU❤️❤️ Edit: Thank you all for liking this comment :,)
coming back to this 7 years later when i can fully grasp the intensity of these situations is really hard. lizzie is such a resilient, kind person and im just so proud of her and all of the work she's put into herself and her life to get where she is. role model then and role model now
Came back here after 6 years and realized how sad her childhood was, she gave us the childhood she didn't have and I am so happy for that, thank you Lizzie for making us happy throughout the years, and I hope you continue living the beautiful life that you have right now!
When this came out i was quite young and didn't understand alot of what she was talking about. 8 years later i rewatched it and i had no idea how difficult her life was. She is so energetic and positive all the time and handles everything so well
coming back to this video 8 years later, as an 18 year old about to sit my alevels and take my gap year, never been in a relationship and completely clueless and terrified about the future- love you lizzie, i hope i can find a fraction of the success and happiness you have
same :( i watched this when i was 4-8 i don’t really remember but i rewatched it a year or two ago and i understood it more, but now i understand it a lot more
I paused the Imp & Skizz podcast to come here to watch this video! To get your background story. If it wasn't for the roads you have traveled you wouldn't be the person you are today.
Legit everyone is talking about this, 4-5 comments before you have the exact same format "I never realized how sad her childhood was" and they get like 100s of likes so people keep doing the same thing :/
I watched this again so many years later and realized what she had went through, she gave me and so many others the childhood she never had. WE LOVE U LIZZIE :)💕
This was very inspiring for me because My mum died from WAY too much alcohol and my dad was always drunk... and I was the only child... and I was overall and still sad and uncomfortable... but now I found my dream boy!
i grew up in a pretty similar situation to hers. i won’t bore you with details but my dad was an alcoholic in and out of rehab and my mom passed away when i was young. when i watched this video at the time, i felt so seen and so inspired. thank you for being someone amazing i can look up to, lizzie
its so sad looking back at the fact that lizzie gave all of us the childhood she never had. lizzie is like a second mom to me, and i honestly think she was more in my childhood than my actual mom was thinking back. although her videos don't have the same appeal that it did to my younger self, i still watch all of her and her friend's uploads because it gives me that sense of security that i don't necessarily get outside of the internet. you are so strong lizzie!!
@@hay6930 or maybe it’s just because most of us were all so young and innocent and didn’t know the difficulties and complications of growing up with this type of environment until we became more aware of it??
Paused the Imp and Skizz podcast to come watch this. It was an amazing video and I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that. I am no stranger to alcoholics and the carnage they can cause. I wish you all the best and think you are wonderful.
I remember watching this a couple years ago and I never really realized how sad her childhood was. At the time I didn’t really understand what alcohol was or the effects it can do to your body, I never realized how toxic her household must’ve been and honestly she’s so strong. She went through a lot and honestly it’s a miracle that she’s where she is now omg..
This was actually really inspiring Lizzie. Your life was so tough back then but you overcame it. Life is pretty hard here because of exams but you had it way worse. Your strong Lizzie and I hope you stay strong :)
My mom has asthma and she is now 52 yet she had me when she was 40 and it is kinda late to have a child she is getting very sick and I'm afraid she might die before I get through middle school watching your videos gives me hope everyday so thank you for being a youtuber and making wonderful videos
Watching this back a few years later, and I'd liked to thank you for your vulnerability I'm sure a lot of people (myself included) connected with this story and were inspired to keep going by it
@@galaxygirl6287 No actually, the only part that I didn't know is the friendzone part 😂 But coming back to watch it again is quite sad since I can get it even more now 😕🥺
watching this now at 17 makes me realize Lizze’s life was similar to mine. i watched her when i was younger and just recently remembered her and stared watching again, she was a BIG part of my childhood and she deserves so much love
Lizzie let me just say that your videos help me get through all the dark times in my life like my nan passing and getting bullied through primary but I could always go on youtube and watch your videos and they would always put a smile on my face. I found it great to hear about the hard times you have been through so people like me know they can over come it and try stay strong. I also wanted to say that I am writing this comment to tell you that you are an amazing youtuber that can always bring a smile to people no matter what happens to you, you stay strong and that is what I luv about you. Stay strong and amazing Lizzie you are great💗
When I first found Lizzie’s channel I never thought this video was sad because I related to some of the things like my parents shouting, being about a year younger than one of my sisters and my parents getting divorced. You are very strong Lizzie and I absolutely love you for that.. A reason why I fell in love with your channel around 6 years ago was because I related to you so much. Thank you Lizzie for being a comfort in my life and something I watched for a while now! I remember every series you’ve been in, I remember you and Joel getting engaged and later on married! You also made me find out about other channels that made me feel happy. I love you so much Lizzie and I will forever remember you in the future!
wolfie 102 no, he moved out with Lizzie's sister and Lizzie was left alone with her mum, and then I'm pretty sure their dad came back just as Lizzie and her sister where either going to college/university or somewhere else while their mum went to a house for herself
I feel like most people on RUclips have a rough life, and that's why we come to watch youtubers like you, that's what brings us all together, when I first started watching youtubers I thought "their lives are perfect" I was wrong. All of us have been through rough times, I haven't seen my mom in 2 years, but I work through it and stand up for what I believe, I don't let people walk over me, and I can think my mom for that.When she left I was weak...but I'm a stronger person thanks to her and the RUclips community even though I don't know many of you please, please never doubt yourself.
I left a comment years ago, when I was ten. And although I’ve deleted it now, I think this video was really important for me; as myhouse was filled with yelling and alcohol, and my mother was an alcoholic too. Thank you for being brave enough to share this, it helped me feels just a bit more normal back then :) Edit: just came back to this comment after 2 months, and I’m smiling irl. Thank you for leaving sweet replies on my stupid little comment, this community really means the world to me
As like many others I’ve come over from the Imp and Skizz podcast and wanted to say what an amazing open, vulnerable and very engaging video. You are an incredible content creator but also an incredible kind person. Well done Lizzie ❤
6 years later and i am still here watching it. i’ve been a shadow cadet for so many years and i love how her content is still the same and she hasn’t changed, it’s rare to see that
YALL… we all watched this when we were little. And didn’t understand. And now came back looking for. The part with Joel and find a tragedy. You know this is relatable.
I can relate to her story so much. My parents are also fighting. At night I lay in bed, and I hear them screaming at each other, cursing, and I just cry. I really have been so sad just because of all the fighting that has been happening, but this story helped me realize that life will give you bad things, but in the end it will do you some good. I haven't found my passion yet, but I know I will soon. Thank you Lizzy.
watching this makes me love lizzie more :') as viewers, we all have our own personal lives and struggles. thus, finding a comfort youtuber is like winning the lottery. i like to rewatch most of lizzie's minecraft series when i'm feeling bored, sad, or even when im happy. and im so glad that i bumped to this video! you make a lot of people happy, lizzie! we appreciate you 🤍
Lizzie was struggling when talking about her mum.. well Lizzie let me just say that whatever you went through is in the past and now you have us. We are your family!
I don't know if you are aware Lizzie but this makes you a young carer. I cared for my mum because of physical and mental disabilities she had and still has and it can be very isolating. Nobody will every truly understand what you went through but there are support groups for people who have given that type of care. Love you ❤
Nothing Seriously me and my sister got great support with our caring role, I always advise people about it because there are so many great services out there. I hope you get the support you need xx
Watching this now at 16 I realized how similar our pasts are. The fighting into the late hours of the night, the alcholism, eccentric behavior from mom, its crazy how similar it is.
I can’t believe how much I relate to this. To the fights during the night about an alcoholic mom, to my mom sleeping all day from drinking. It really helps seeing someone I gain comfort from sharing the same experiences as me :)
ShamuGoesRoar Who ever dumped him seriously missed out. He's such a great guy, but I'm really glad she did because him and Lizzy are so freaking cute ^-^
ShamuGoesRoar Same, Once he said he rejected I was like..... WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF IT STAYED LIKE THAT! But luckily Joel's previous girlfriend dumped him.
this video has helped me so much for years. she had very similar experiences as a child that I had at the time I first watched this. As a young child watching someone I admire understand what it's like was very comforting. As I'm getting older I relate to her teenage life now and I'm so happy she made this video.
Watching this brought me a lot of comfort. My parents fight, scream, threaten, and more as well. In fact, while I'm writing this, their fighting. But knowing others go through this, brings me a sense of comfort. Since I know I'm not alone
For me it used to be the same they would fight a lot their divorced now. But my dad lived with us for another year and when me and my mom moved out he left my mom and dad are friends though they would still fight but not often
Ah! When I watched this when I was a kid I was totaly unaware of what was actualy happening in Lizzie’s life! Now that I’m older and know I feel so bad, thankyou for making my childhood amazing Lizzie!
I have grown up with an awful family (won’t go into details) and I think the reason Lizzie has been such a comfort and the real person who raised me is because of how I could sort of relate to her and such. Love you Lizzie been here since ur first 10 videos
i remember watching this video when it came out and not really understanding any of it, but know we're all so proud of you and how far you've come! you practically raised all of us i would not be who am i today without your videos! thank you💗
I love you Lizzie. Your story was just..... it made me cry. Mostly at the end. My life is really stressful and sometimes I just get to stressed out I don't think that I was supposed to live this life. Your story really helped me. Thank you. 💖💖🙂💕💕 Love, A big big big HUGE fan, Joelle Turner
i love lizzie so much, i've been watching her for years since i was a little kid. she was my childhood and i still like to watch her now. she is such a positive and kind person, she's creative with her contents and nice to her fans, im so happy that she's having a happy life now married to joel. back then watching this i didnt really understand what happened but now i do and it is so touching too see despite every horrible thing that's happened to her in the past, she still managed to became a great person now. bless you lizzie 💝 lysm!!

Everyone is copying each other on this comment ;-;
I feel like most people on RUclips have a rough life, and that's why we come to watch youtubers like you, that's what brings us all together, when I first started watching youtubers I thought "their lives are perfect" I was wrong. All of us have been through rough times, I haven't seen my mom in 2 years, but I work through it and stand up for what I believe, I don't let people walk over me, and I can think my mom for that.When she left I was weak...but I'm a stronger person thanks to her and the RUclips community
even though I don't know many of you
please, please never doubt yourself.
No, You Rock! :P
Cassidy Mitchell Amen to that!!!
Not really...there's a youtuber her name is adelaine. Her RUclips channel is C0OK1EMONSTER. You should see it.... But I still love lizzy 😘
Yes....😩😒💖
Cassidy Mitchell It does bring us together. I thought the same way
I left a comment years ago, when I was ten. And although I’ve deleted it now, I think this video was really important for me; as myhouse was filled with yelling and alcohol, and my mother was an alcoholic too.
Thank you for being brave enough to share this, it helped me feels just a bit more normal back then :)
Edit: just came back to this comment after 2 months, and I’m smiling irl. Thank you for leaving sweet replies on my stupid little comment, this community really means the world to me
Yep me too just guessed this was normal I feel so bad for her now
same here, its nice to know we arent alone in these types of situations. i wish you all the best
♡
As like many others I’ve come over from the Imp and Skizz podcast and wanted to say what an amazing open, vulnerable and very engaging video. You are an incredible content creator but also an incredible kind person. Well done Lizzie ❤
Little did Lizzie know:
She and Joel are married>>
Lizzie is so lucky!
Joel is the first person she ever dated and she got married to him!
Yes!
@@vexyinity So gacha is that huh
Don’t say that she is lucky when she has an alcoholic mum and her life had many struggles
Oops sorry, I meant to say lucky in love.
/Infinite Potxtoes\ ummmm?- what r u sayin that her mum is a bad person?
6 years later and i am still here watching it. i’ve been a shadow cadet for so many years and i love how her content is still the same and she hasn’t changed, it’s rare to see that
Same 💓
Joel is a pencil ✏️
Lizzie is a highlighter
Joel draws the world
Lizzie makes it brighter 💗
You too are a great couple❤️❤️
YALL… we all watched this when we were little. And didn’t understand. And now came back looking for. The part with Joel and find a tragedy. You know this is relatable.
Lizzies dad: comes home
Everyone: leaves
rip lmao
Dad: Why you bully me
thats rude ;-;
At least he came back with the milk
Jk jk jk jk I think that came out rude lol
Dont say that!That's terrible!If Lizzy saw this then she'd be so upset!Don't be a person who hates on people just cause they want to be funny!
I can relate to her story so much. My parents are also fighting. At night I lay in bed, and I hear them screaming at each other, cursing, and I just cry. I really have been so sad just because of all the fighting that has been happening, but this story helped me realize that life will give you bad things, but in the end it will do you some good. I haven't found my passion yet, but I know I will soon. Thank you Lizzy.
MoMo I can relate my parents would fight they got a divorce one time me my sister and brother went to the bathroom crying.
Thank you so much, it has gotten better. :)
It's okay, things will lighten up. Don't let the fighting get the best of you.
Aww, you'll be ok! :)
That happened to my friend and I felt so bad.
And now Lizzie and Joel are engaged! They are so cute togther
watching this makes me love lizzie more :') as viewers, we all have our own personal lives and struggles. thus, finding a comfort youtuber is like winning the lottery. i like to rewatch most of lizzie's minecraft series when i'm feeling bored, sad, or even when im happy. and im so glad that i bumped to this video!
you make a lot of people happy, lizzie! we appreciate you 🤍
You are a strong girl lizzie
Good luck lizzie we are all here for you no matter what
Madini Asd you mean Elizabeth
Frances_ Gacha Lizzie is sufficient enough
@@Mruczek10 just Lizzie will suffice
Madini Asd five hundredth like
Who else cries when pets die or go missing 😿
Hopefully Lizzie’s cat is having fun somewhere else
Cat Heaven
... in heaven
It's probably dead now 🐱=💀 dead now
MS Cookies perhaps having an absolutely wonderful time in a better place
Me 🐈 and 🐕😭😭😭😭😭🥺😓😥💙
I always thought people as happy as you had the perfect early life but no one really has a perfect life. You are a inperation.
Veda Smyth umm what’s and inperation?
Veda Smyth inspiration **
Gez Thomas it is,not spelled owwwww it is spelled awwwww
Veda Smyth she didn’t let anything get in the way of all this
Watching this from 2018 Lizzie has changed so much
Emily Whiddon I am and ik LOL she is the best RUclipsr ever!!
Same boy or girl or dog or cat lol
Lizzie was struggling when talking about her mum.. well Lizzie let me just say that whatever you went through is in the past and now you have us. We are your family!
Yea but family is family
Lizzie: We decided to start dating..
And it went well!
Me: um yeah!
LOL THEY ARE ENGAGED 😂😂
Harmonizer! Maried
Now MARRIED!!!!
Your right. I'm watching this and its been three or four weeks and lizzie hasn't uploaded
Dum
now rewatching these videos I watched when I was younger I never realised and understood how sad her past was
9:56, dat purple heart doe, so BOOTIFUL
Joel rejected Lizzie but now they’re married 😂
Miss Miller xD
True
Joel didn't reject her, it's just when she met Joel, Joel had a girlfriend.
ummmmm 0h
Anneline Casagrande
Yeah, so he rejected her..
I don't know if you are aware Lizzie but this makes you a young carer. I cared for my mum because of physical and mental disabilities she had and still has and it can be very isolating. Nobody will every truly understand what you went through but there are support groups for people who have given that type of care. Love you ❤
Amy Strange same here my sister has down syndrome ur not the only one
Nothing Seriously me and my sister got great support with our caring role, I always advise people about it because there are so many great services out there. I hope you get the support you need xx
Amy Strange thank u sooooo much xxxxx
Amy Strange she's mine
I am sorry for you
Watching this now at 16 I realized how similar our pasts are. The fighting into the late hours of the night, the alcholism, eccentric behavior from mom, its crazy how similar it is.
The only survivor of the friendzone is Joel. 😂
ron weasley
He did well
Jichari?
Wouldn't Lizzie be the friendzoned one? Joel was the one that said no to her cos he was in a relationship
@@OverWims yup, you're right. this person's a dumbass.
I can’t believe how much I relate to this. To the fights during the night about an alcoholic mom, to my mom sleeping all day from drinking. It really helps seeing someone I gain comfort from sharing the same experiences as me :)
Are you okay..?
@@elyxisea ya
@@MariBrizaEhngel they didn’t ask u lmao
@@imyesther1581 oh I'm sry
I'm sorry
I was watching the video and got to "Joel rejected me" and kinda flipped out at first.
IKR! How dew you reject Lizzie??
ShamuGoesRoar Who ever dumped him seriously missed out. He's such a great guy, but I'm really glad she did because him and Lizzy are so freaking cute ^-^
ShamuGoesRoar Same, Once he said he rejected I was like..... WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF IT STAYED LIKE THAT! But luckily Joel's previous girlfriend dumped him.
I SPAT OUT MAH COFFEH AND MY PLATE OF COOKIES GOT CRUMBLED c:
Same! I freaked out so much! My brother actually had to calm me down.
this video has helped me so much for years. she had very similar experiences as a child that I had at the time I first watched this. As a young child watching someone I admire understand what it's like was very comforting. As I'm getting older I relate to her teenage life now and I'm so happy she made this video.
Lizzie and Joel have been togheter 5 years if u are watching this in 2017 😍😍 Awww
Delena Fan #JIZZIE_AWAAAAAAY!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
YEEEEEEE
Delena Fan 2017
awesome you sound sexy
swag master 0000 what where do you live??
I love the ending.
Life Goals:
Get Cat ☑
XD
I'm surprised "Get Boyfriend" wasn't one of them
ThePlatinumPixel XD ikr
Yesh.
Exactly what I would do but I already have one
Watching this brought me a lot of comfort.
My parents fight, scream, threaten, and more as well. In fact, while I'm writing this, their fighting. But knowing others go through this, brings me a sense of comfort. Since I know I'm not alone
Me too.
For me it used to be the same they would fight a lot their divorced now. But my dad lived with us for another year and when me and my mom moved out he left my mom and dad are friends though they would still fight but not often
Ah! When I watched this when I was a kid I was totaly unaware of what was actualy happening in Lizzie’s life! Now that I’m older and know I feel so bad, thankyou for making my childhood amazing Lizzie!
So...
Your real name is Elizabeth....
And your friends and us call you Lizzie
And you skip School a ton of time
SLICcCcCcCcCc
Elizabeth, lizzy, shadowlady, ldshadowlady, beth, or.. a girl who does youtube
xxkeyboardcat Lol
What did you think her real name was
xxkeyboardcat lol yes
And today Lizzie is engaged for Joel!
Melita yeahhhh
Lizzie: me and Joel’s relationship was really good
Me: and she didn’t even know she would be Mrs ldshadowlady in a few years time ;)
I have grown up with an awful family (won’t go into details) and I think the reason Lizzie has been such a comfort and the real person who raised me is because of how I could sort of relate to her and such. Love you Lizzie been here since ur first 10 videos
And now you and Joel are *engaged!!*
Who's watching this in 2020, and thinks lizzie should do another draw my life now!
Me! 🔘
hell yes that would be so good! or react to this one
Meeeeeeeee This is my 3 time watching this in 2020
4 time now
Yes me
Lizzie : 2015 dating
Lizzie : 2019 : married
i remember watching this video when it came out and not really understanding any of it, but know we're all so proud of you and how far you've come! you practically raised all of us i would not be who am i today without your videos! thank you💗
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
I didn’t realise how sad this way until I grew up
I love you Lizzie. Your story was just..... it made me cry. Mostly at the end. My life is really stressful and sometimes I just get to stressed out I don't think that I was supposed to live this life. Your story really helped me. Thank you. 💖💖🙂💕💕
Love, A big big big HUGE fan,
Joelle Turner
lol
...
Come on, you can get thru it! Just wait till you finish university and then you can do WHATEVER you want :-)
Hopefully my life isn't TOOOOOO bad... I'm still only 10 :p XD
Geez your drawings on the computer are so good o.o

Ignore that ^ reply
TheAthenaSpawner xD
***** Stop trying. This is your second time doing this.
i love lizzie so much, i've been watching her for years since i was a little kid. she was my childhood and i still like to watch her now. she is such a positive and kind person, she's creative with her contents and nice to her fans, im so happy that she's having a happy life now married to joel. back then watching this i didnt really understand what happened but now i do and it is so touching too see despite every horrible thing that's happened to her in the past, she still managed to became a great person now. bless you lizzie 💝 lysm!!
The fact that lizzie and joel's relationship is so strong!! They are so sweet together💗💗
Your childhood life with your friends is exactly like mine 😂
Where you one of her friends????
@@_coughing_4734 Dude, she was implying that she always played video games with her friends. Gosh
When I was a kid watching this I didn't really knew what sadness was, but as I grew older I now know how sad life can be.
I didn’t understand this when I first watched it, but I understand now. Love you Lizzie, I hope your mum is okay ❤
When I saw the drawing of her crying I actually started tearing up like nooo! You don't need to cryyyyy I love youuuu
