@@andrewlong5510 Totally agree. But honestly I'm absolutely supportive of people who are religious, so long as they don't push it on others.. What I absolutely can't stand though about the sort of God squad who haunt this channel and other similar ones, is that what they write is utterly self serving. It's never really about the person their "prayers' it's just their way of winning brownie points in their version of reality with the magic man in the sky.
@@andrewlong5510, it proves that humans have a great deal of darkness in them. In his case, his parents and those meant to take care of him almost total darkness. The fact that we have a sense of what “should be” - love, care, protection, encouragement - is evidence that God does exist. No combativeness here. I just view it differently.
Wow, what a story! Despite everything that’s happened in his life, his values are good and his heart is in the right place. I just want to give him a long hug and tell him it’s going to be ok. Hang in there Joshua, you can make a decent life if you want, with help of course. You have it within you, you are most certainly not a lost cause.
This young man deserves all the help, support and therapy handed to him on a silver platter. He should never had to endure such trauma. Bless you Joshua xx
I can't even imagine the level of psychic and physical pain he must feel, day in and day out. Hoping you find your way to a better life. No one deserves this life.
Never have I seen so much pain in a persons eyes.. It is almost like I can feel his anxiety. Breaks my heart. I really really wish for you to get better, to get clean.. underneath all that pain, I see a kind and loving man. I fkn love you, Joshua. Thanks for another banger of an episode, Mark. Love from Sweden.
What a sweet, loyal soul…you’ve been through a lot. I pray for you and your wife to have a home and to get away from drugs and have a restful life. God loves you both no matter what
What a heartbreaking story! I see a common thread with most, if not all of these interviewee's: childhood trauma. " It starts at home" is such a true statement. God Bless you Joshua...i wish I could give you a hug!!!. Please get the help you need.
Joshua I'm sorry that you had a hard childhood. I hope Mark offers you some help and resources. You so deserve to get the help, rehab and and different path that your currently on. You seem like a smart young man who's had a difficult life. I'm praying for you Joshua, may God bless you 🙏💙🙏
@@roccocoyote Nope it doesn’t. Just like your comment. The one thing more cringe than religion is you shitting on some random youtube viewer because they want a person to get help.
@@roccocoyote Jojo probably does believe praying helps. You believe in certain things, so why rain on someone else's parade if they believe in something you don't.
@@koyoteman58 @T Paul Since your asking: As a victim of child abuse myself (by God loving Christians btw) I can tell you that talking about God, Jesus etc. in this context is adding insult to injury. Believe me I did pray to no avail. Was I not worth the love of the all powerful God watching everything at all times? Did I not pray hard enough? If it helps you through your day - fine. But keep the children out of it. Makes sense?
My heart breaks for Joshua, it's so sad to not even have a chance in this already very difficult screwed up world we all live in... It's so hard to be happy & healthy even when you have a great hand dealt. I wish I could just hold him, and cry together....
I’m an addict from the stl and have turned my life around . I just hired a young man from Jefferson county who is in recovery from meth . I hope I can help him and I hope you get the help and care you need Joshua
I'm only 3 minutes in and I can't watch anymore. My heart is breaking and I'm crying for this kid. I wish I could hug him and let him know how valuable and worthwhile he is. Ugh
As someone who struggled for 10 years with alcohol addiction, I relate to this guy. For me it always was "just one more drink and I'm done, I'll quit". And that went on for ten years. I finally, slowly, got help and made steps towards getting sober (with a few relapses) in 2019. In my experience, 12 step programs can be very helpful. It worked for me. I understand that it may not work for someone else. It's hard but if you keep trying and keep on trying to get help wherever you can and put away that first drink or first shot of whatever you're using, you'll get better. Over time, the obsession goes away. I'm happy to be sober and alive today. I am a data scientist with a large hedge fund, have a great group of friends and family around me and I live a contented life and most importantly, I cherish my sobriety and pray that I stay this course. I try to help addicts I come across in my day to day life with food and referrals to sober houses, rehabs and 12 step programs. Never lose hope. And that first drink will stay away from me.
Joshua, I hope you know the light that you carry. Being able to exude such light in the trials you've faced is no easy thing. If you don't take anything else I've wrote I hope you take away this...you can and will beat the disease of addiction. I have done it. It's possible! You've got everything you need to get better which is you! You are the one that can get yourself through it. Even if you struggle just know we support you and have your back. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Sending much love to you and your wife.
Man, this dude has had a really chaotic, rough go of it to say the least. I really hope that both he and his wife can move past this difficult chapter in their lives, and onto much bigger and better things. All the best brother, cheers!
Growing up around such violence, addiction and neglect certainly dosen't give you much to look forward to, however Joshua comes through as a decent human being who is dealing with that hand he has been dealt. All power to you man, may you find peace somewhere in your life..HUGS
I enjoy this channel as well but what exactly do you mean by this platform being inspirational? It’s broken people telling their horrific stories this is anything but inspirational to me. Quite interesting but not inspirational
i’m an opiate addict 30+ years but i have a nice flat now but still i’m on my own and yes he’s right DONT DO DRUGS people PLEASE!!! they will mess you up period Joshua i hope you get to hear this !! “ your heart is in the right place man🙂 and i wish you and Kate the best going forward 👍.
This is heart breaking, he was never shown love from the two people he needed the most and he didn’t even get a chance at life. I hope you get the best wishes and dreams you deserve I would love to give you a huge hug❤️
This poor little boy is what I see. I just feel like protecting him. He has alot of growing to do even though he's been through alot in such a short life time. For some reason sadly I don't see him living long. 😕 I pray for his soul 🙏 😔
Talking about your past tragedy does not help individuals. It makes one relive it and fill the trauma again. This notion that getting something off your chest is garbage. There’s actual research suggesting that people talking and repeating their past traumas actually makes them more traumatized
@@eastwood111 I did that and each week they sent me a different person 'expert'. Each week I had to begin anew. fuck 'em they're just getting a paycheck.
This is absolutely HEARTBREAKING … if you need someone to love you.. Joshua, I will love you. I will pray everyday for you. What a sad sad story. I’m so sorry .. please try as hard as you can to rise above this torment.
What an absolutely beautiful person you are - from the inside out! I just can’t believe how some people have to take so much pain. Please please please believe in yourself, please! You can do this. Please stay strong. All the way from Sweden I want you to know that you’ve got someone thats care and thinks about you and your girl ❤
Not really he’s just fucked cause that’s all he knows and he’s high as fuck he says slot of dumb shit wanting attaboys and then it’s hard to start feeling bad for him again def not his fault though but 10 mins with a dude like this your gonna be like fuck this shit bruh no 🧢
Wow thank you for sharing your story. It’s heartbreaking how a little child is born to such a “family” but still as an adult to be able to recognize good from wrong and trying to keep the values and believing in love and humanity. Please I wish you and your wife get a good therapy so can fight and free yourself from drugs and the traumatic experience. It’s never too late I believe!
I can never understand why people go to LA for a promise of a better life. It’s one of the most populated and expensive places to live!! There’s no way to get a footing if you’re already struggling…
I watch these daily. I couldn’t appreciate you more Mark, truly captivating. However, he could’ve told his story with the same conviction without telling everyone exactly where his dad lives, and that he’s a AB shot caller, and all the other self snitching. He might end up answering for some of that. Good luck kid. Much love
Awww, this poor guy. I feel so badly for him. What a survivor he is. Bless this guy and his wife. I sure hope they can get the help and get in a better lifestyle. He has been through so much trauma and so unfair at such a young age. Deep down I can see he has a good soul……🙏🏻
He made me cry. Not having parents an everything he’s gone through is so heartbreaking. I hope he finds peace an the future will be better for him an his wife. Sending Prayers to him an his wife 🙏💙🙏💜🙏
Don’t die for her. Get clean for her, stay clean for her. She needs you to and you need purpose. She’ll let you lead, so do it. Get back on your auto mechanic game, go back to school for more certifications. Stay busy and never stop learning. Get mad at life and fucking own it.
Holy shit his family's background is atrocious. Despite all that he seems like another genuinely good soul that has been beaten and abused by forces outside of his control. And that led to the addiction. It always does, doesn't it? I hope he gets better and gets some therapy. He seems very humble and open, I'd imagine he can improve his life a lot.
@@baublesanddolls CPS has fail so many children that’s absolutely pathetic, and sometimes family don’t live in close proximity to know what’s going on, but I understand what you mean.
What a shame. Joshua is a good looking guy who seems to have a good heart; he could be so much more. I pray he finds a way out for him and his wife. Stay strong (and safe) man.
I am so sorry you had to go through this 💔 You do matter!!!! You are worthy!! Fuck your "parents" you can create your own life of happiness and a stable family. I hope you can get the therapy and sobriety and love you deserve 💘🪶
@@GeorgiaPeech79 I know, right?!? It's like, "boo hoo, poor me" with no desire, drive or plan to change anything about their lives. Everyone has had trauma. Get over yourself and get on with your life.
You can tell he contains SUCH despair. Ugh - this killed me. He deserves so much more than the hand he's been dealt. Imagine having (albeit....a drug dealer...) father who makes millions of dollars and you can't even get 1.) basic parent-provided care and resources....let alone 2.) a minute of his time? It's so gross. But I'd argue Joshua is better off estranged. Really articulate, well-meaning, and affable guy here.

I respect this man being interviewed so much, I can only pray he and his wife stay as safe as possible and that the Lord is able to be there for them. Your love for your wife is beautiful, so is her love for you bro!
Josh, my fist post was harsh and I’m sorry. Look, Mark just gave you a huge gift here. You have the past to write a book about and you may even have a damn movie here. Use this interview as a jumpstart to a totally new life and never look back. If you don’t know how to write a book ASK I’m sure Mark can help point the way for you. But get the hell out of the life your in. You can do it!! GET ANGRY AT THOSE DRUGS!! You have to HATE THEM like you hate a enemy. Because they are your enemy. I speak from experience. Good luck. I hope you read this
So sad! God these videos make me appreciate my childhood more than i thought possible. So unfair the abuse he suffered and to hear him lament so much putting his hands on his wife, when that was the way he was always dealt with...how can something different be expected. I have empathy for him. God he has so much potential. Just damn the luck of the draw in terms of who were born to.
You deserve better than this. Give yourself and your wife the life you were never given. We all believe in you. Sending you so much love and protection.
The fact that hes a certified mechanic and rose to a management position and had a hustle on the side shows just how much potential and smarts this guy has. Whew what a tragedy. There is still hope for u son!!
Not taking the piss as I'm actually dying from a pulmonary embolism and TB and I'm only 32, I want to say exactly what's on my mind as I never did throughout my short'ish life. Joshua is like the real life Walter Jr. Even a dad who had a meth lab .. Got some horrible news yesterday and I what send me to the hospital was coughing up blood with all black stuff in it. Good luck to everyone here and in your lives. Stay real!!! 😊
How does he really know what happened when he was 3 months, 7 months old... was told this by all the other troubled people in this young mans life. I feel bad for him, but addicts really seem to cling to any and every reason they can to justify themselves to keep on the same bad path they are on... Alot of these people need real help and therapy to get past this. My blessings for these people to change there life around
I hope he can find a way to kick his drug addiction. I feel that once that happens, he will be able to go forward in his life. Also, LA is a difficult city. I’d move out to a smaller place in the Midwest and start over. Good luck kiddo!
Childhood neglect has so many life long consequences. Wishing him the best.
His story breaks my heart I hope he‘ll find the support he deserves to fight off his demons he seems like such a nice and decent guy

I respect this man being interviewed so much, I can only pray he and his wife stay as safe as possible and that the Lord is able to be there for them. Your love for your wife is beautiful, so is her love for you bro!
Lord protect him and guide him to healthy life
Josh, my fist post was harsh and I’m sorry. Look, Mark just gave you a huge gift here. You have the past to write a book about and you may even have a damn movie here. Use this interview as a jumpstart to a totally new life and never look back. If you don’t know how to write a book ASK I’m sure Mark can help point the way for you. But get the hell out of the life your in. You can do it!! GET ANGRY AT THOSE DRUGS!! You have to HATE THEM like you hate a enemy. Because they are your enemy. I speak from experience. Good luck. I hope you read this
Literally got 2 and a half minutes in and already bawling. Really gives you perspective on shit😳😔
The horrible things children go through...heartbreaking.
Thank you for the interview Joshua and SWU
So sad! God these videos make me appreciate my childhood more than i thought possible. So unfair the abuse he suffered and to hear him lament so much putting his hands on his wife, when that was the way he was always dealt with...how can something different be expected. I have empathy for him. God he has so much potential. Just damn the luck of the draw in terms of who were born to.
This story shattered me. I hope you find help Josh. You deserve to be loved
There is an opioid epidemic gripping this nation, god help us. 🙏
Don't worry , Biden will fix it
Close the border!
Let us pray! 🙏
@@Frank75288 Previous presidents couldn’t “fix “ it either. 🙄 Duh
You deserve better than this. Give yourself and your wife the life you were never given. We all believe in you. Sending you so much love and protection.
This poor guy didn’t stand a chance.. so sad..
Joshua you have so much to offer this world.
Jesus Christ this is sad. Much love to you joshua, wish you all the luck in the world
The fact that hes a certified mechanic and rose to a management position and had a hustle on the side shows just how much potential and smarts this guy has. Whew what a tragedy. There is still hope for u son!!
Not taking the piss as I'm actually dying from a pulmonary embolism and TB and I'm only 32, I want to say exactly what's on my mind as I never did throughout my short'ish life. Joshua is like the real life Walter Jr. Even a dad who had a meth lab .. Got some horrible news yesterday and I what send me to the hospital was coughing up blood with all black stuff in it. Good luck to everyone here and in your lives. Stay real!!! 😊
First time viewer, and I absolutely will be back.
Joshua, don't give up. Your life can change in an instant.
How does he really know what happened when he was 3 months, 7 months old... was told this by all the other troubled people in this young mans life. I feel bad for him, but addicts really seem to cling to any and every reason they can to justify themselves to keep on the same bad path they are on...
Alot of these people need real help and therapy to get past this. My blessings for these people to change there life around
What a beautiful soul he is this young man. I pray for you.
I hope he can find a way to kick his drug addiction. I feel that once that happens, he will be able to go forward in his life. Also, LA is a difficult city. I’d move out to a smaller place in the Midwest and start over. Good luck kiddo!
He Deserves to find Happiness, I'm certain that He earned that Right.
Despite all that He's been through , No one broke his Spirit.
Healing Hugs ❤
