I got 3. Onision controversies, Britney Spears memoir, SSSniperwolf (even if i haven't paid attention to the controversy surrounding her), or it could be something light hearted
is it possible for you to make captions available. I love your content but captions are really important for me to be able to fully access what is being said and portrayed.
As somebody who formerly worked in the funeral industry, I have a quote I truly love to share with those in grief. “Grief never ends, but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. It’s not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.”
Beautiful quote💕 One thing I've learned since my mom passed away is that time doesn't heal all wounds. We just have to learn to cope & adapt to our new normal. We always have memories, advice, & characteristics within ourselves that remind us of our loved ones. They helped shape us into who we are today. I only had 23 yrs with my mom, but I'm blessed & very thankful I got that time. She was my best friend. Esp as I became an adult & a mother. She always gave me kind advice, never judged me, & always wanted to see me succeed. She was one of the most genuine & really kind hearted. I miss her everyday.🌸🩵🩷
@@kristenowen5328 Thank you so much for sharing that. It's been almost 20 years since my dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, and I feel the same way about him that you do about your mom. Sending lots of love to you and everyone who's lost someone so incredibly precious to their life. ♥
This is so beautiful. My grandma is dying of lung and bone cancer right now, and every day I think about how I’ll ever be able to deal with the grief. Grief really is a sign of love, because you know the harder you grieve, the more you loved the person. Thank you 💗
I think you should’ve also mentioned how her ex’s parents had retired & moved to Hawaii, but awhile ago had to move back to Oregon & take care of the children, who now live with them. Acacia “doing it all herself with no babysitter” is literally just picking them up from school and taking them to the park, which is how she’s able to be in California for 2 out of 4 weeks a month.
@@twinkletoes6290I think the video said their split was in part due to his issues with addiction - if he can't, she's negligent, and her parents weren't great, then it makes sense if his parents have them
in her new video she said she and jarius has joint custody 50/50 so when the kids are with him she flies to LA to be with family and friends, she said she did this a lot when she was going through the divorce, she also rents a place there
@@TheJediMazter hey not just “werent great” one of them was a pedophile, in acacias mind that would be be bad press first and then the childrens wellbeing second
I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my brother. We're here for you, and take all the time you need to grieve. We will be here for you but don't feel pressured to make content if you feel you can't! Do what you need to for yourself. We love you!
@@blazingstar9638 exactly. I may not be religious but I hope with all my heart that all is well for her and her family. An end is always room for a new beginning.
I lost my younger brother in 2017. He was the youngest of six and I’m the oldest, so you can imagine the pain. On top of that, he was hit by a car who ran away and he was only 18. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and there’s still days where I wake up crying because he was alive in my dream… my mother has never been the same, honestly my whole family dynamic has completely changed. We will never be the same, but there’s a weird solace in knowing that he’ll never be hurt ever again. I always worry about my siblings, so knowing that one of them is completely safe from harm is oddly comforting. We’re not religious so, in our heads, he’s not in heaven watching over us, but he’s in a truly safe space where harm will never come his way, and he’s stuck in the forever place of an 18 year old boy who loved music, dancing and doing things for others.
Honestly what hurt me the most in this video is when her daughter told the lady that she knew her mom wouldnt come help with her brother’s scrapped knee. That is just so sad that they are soo young and they already see the neglect and negligence that their own mother is portraying to them. Justice for the children tbh cause this whole situation is just so heartbreaking.
Have I heard of this person before? No. Am I still watching both parts all the way through? Yes. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Madison. Thank you for your hard work through that pain ❤
@@vickimaccallum you’re right, after watching these deep dives her vibe is very familiar; I was sheltered back in the day but I must have seen her at some point without knowing who she is.
It’s giving classic narcissist mom….acting like it’s a “joke” or some kind of silly roast/teasing when really it reveals who she thinks of as her “golden child” and who she considers the scapegoat….
not excusing her behavior at all, this video proves she should not have a platform or custody of her kids at all, but that video was taken out of context. It was early on in her pregnancy and she said she didn’t feel pregnancy symptoms for months that it was much different from her first. They were also moving at the time i believe so explains that a bit. I’ve known people who’ve said they forgot they were preg because of similar reasons. She didn’t continuously call Rosie that. Still horrifying nonetheless and I hope those kids get put with a safe and competent family.
Let’s be real: doing it “alone, all by herself” is not what’s going on here. Single moms doing “everything” alone don’t get 2 weeks out of the month child free to galavant all over creation. She’s getting a significant amount of help whether she wants to admit it or not. If she truly had to go it alone it would be a rude awakening for her. How she behaved when she thought no one was looking says it all. Parenthood is a drag and she sees herself as a babysitter rather than a mother. She only claims motherhood where it garners her attention. This is grim. The only ones suffering are her children
As an actual single mom who did everything alone by myself for 3.5 years of my sons life and lived check to check uninsured in a shitty overpriced apartment with appliances older than me, she can go fuck herself. She’s literally rich and has her kids less than 50% of the time.
This mother resents Rosie. She resents that she isn't a 'normal' child. She resents all the care, time and money that she has to put into Rosie however she can use her as a prop for views. More darkly I feel like she puts Rosie into all these situations where she will catch something, obtain an infection of some kind or something will happen that Rosie will die from then she will have a free conscience and be able to milk it for more views and money. And sorry for your loss my dear ❤
I absolutely believe this. Why else would you go camping in freezing temperatures right after your baby had open heart surgery? She doesn't want that sweet girl, she's trying to passively get rid of her.
I’m sorry for your loss. My younger brother “unalived” himself this year, august 15. I have been pretending it’s not real. But I relive the phone call and the screams all day every day. I’m basically a zombie. I hope you’re doing ok x
This is outright devastating to hear.. please let yourself cry, let yourself be a zombie, whatever gets you through that un-imaginable pain❤ your brother always loved you and knows you loved him back, and even in paradise, he can't wait to see you again❤ I wish you'll aquire all the strength needed to keep on living
Take your time, Madison. I lost my mom eight months ago to a long illness (Alzheimers) and it's still so tough; just watching this reminds me of her...I'm a nonambulatory PWD - I have cerebral palsy - and my mom was the best caretaker/support/cheerleader/fighter I could have ever asked for. Thank you for illuminating this, just like you do with all your content. I'm so sorry for your loss - sending you love and healing thoughts.
Losing a family member is like being gutted over and over and then seemingly randomly.. living with a hole in your chest. I’m sorry that was such a graphic description but I think you probably understand… my pops has Huntington’s, it’s similar to Alzheimer’s, I’m lucky to still have him with me but it’s hard and I’m kind of clinging on because i can’t imagine life without him. No matter how his state of mind is.. I wish you the absolute best life, we were both so lucky to have an amazing parent supporting us. It definitely shows when you’re sharing your pain and kindness to others.. Stay beautiful and stay true❤️
I lost my mom this year too. It’s a pain that’s indescribable. I know you’re mom is still cheering you on, a mothers love never goes away ❤Now all we can do is live life as best as we can to honor the joy we know they’d want us to feel.
I understand all too well,@@lindseyjohnson3577- you're so right, just hoping for those clear moments for them AND you. We ARE both really lucky, thank you for sharing your story, and I'm wishing you, your dad and everyone peace and strength as you go through this journey together...know you have a bunch of pixels here sending love. 🥰
The fact she has no problem letting the world know she ignores/plays favorites with this poor little baby 😢 the sand and her being separated from "family time" is legit making me tear up
Hi, I am an adult with agenesis of the corpus callosum . Every kid is different. We may not reach milestones quickly, but we still end up most of the time making them . Physical and Speech therapy IS NEEDED. Regardless, Rosie was still a baby and babies need extra care.
As someone who grew up with an abusive and narcissistic mother the whole 'never taking responsibility for their own actions and deflecting via sudden and unrelated trauma dumping' bit was way too relatable. Also in her apology/explanation vids when she's crying and saying the navigator changed her life before immediately dropping the emotion to do the sign off was deeply unsettling.
As a disabled person who my mom battled hard for YEARS to get me the proper care and rights that I need, a mom like Acacia angers me SO BAD!! Being disabled is already hard enough with lack of understanding from society, lack of information, tons of bureaucracy and lack of accessibility to proper doctors, a mother should be there for her child
I’m also disabled. And I completely agree. People with disabilities are always going to be here, so I really wish that there could be things made a bit easier for us. And people stop stigmatizing people with them. And Rosie definitely 100% deserves better parents who give her the care that she deserves.
Not disabled, unless you count my narcolepsy, but kids who have disabilities should never be treated like this cause like you said they will always be here, and doesn't make them any less of a person. They deserve a good quality of life and to be treated like a normal freaking person! This type of shit heats me up.
Right? Mental health and trauma are NO excuse to 1- be an asshole 2- be a bad parent. I have AuDHD and was diagnosed with Autism around 20 something but my mother, a single mother who went through DA and FOUGHT TO COME OUT ON TOP(now about to graduate as LPN and I am so so so proud), was UNDIAGNOSED FOR YEARS and she gave me everything I needed AND WAY MORE. She worked her ASS off and protected me as a "gifted kid". I am CHILDLESS AT 27 AND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM DOING THIS TO CHILDREN IN GENERAL LIKE NOT EVEN MY OWN. I am so ANGRY! Sending light and love to those poor babies. THE TRUTH AND LOVE WINS. Every time.
@@reinasherman8009 if it’s chronic and affects your life enough to impair daily function yes it is a disability, stoma bags and the like are classed as disabilities as well
I’m a mommy to one little boy and this makes me so sad. Even in her “explanation” videos they just sound so self centered, she was supposed to be giving her account of the park incident and all she talked about was herself 😢 no mention of how scary it was that her little baby was on top of the van, and how bad she should have felt for letting them get into that situation. So wild.
As someone born with a heart condition, I am so grateful my parents treated me with the utmost care and love. My whole family loves me and never let my disabilities impact the way they treat me. I wish Rosie had a better family.
I was born with a heart condition too (Tetrogy of Fallot!) and I’ve had 2 open heart surgeries and after hearing things like how Rosie is treated, it makes me extra grateful for a loving family. Im so glad your family is good to you too! Us zipper club members have to stick together! 🤍
My daughter is in early intervention and I don't pay anything. When your child is under 3 they are eligible....this is pure neglect and it makes me sick especially being a mother I can't imagine not doing everything I can to provide for my child.
Her parenting: abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. Those children, my heart break for, but especially that sweet innocent Rosie, and as a mother, I could throw up- this is insanity. God she’s so horrible and literally has excuses for everything she does. This absolutely is neglectful because it is neglect. I literally do not understand. So sad.
there are various signs of mental health struggles... one that stands out to me is the need to always find a new self- it's this struggle of identity that I know from BPD ... the sexual trauma, the seemingly very harsh cuts in her life, always needing to get validation from an audience, history of selfharm, intense relationships, desperately trying to uphold and image... I know all that from BPD now I'm not a therapist so I won't diagnose her but I want to say I relate! And what helped me is cutting off the exterior validation (aka social media) and going to DBT therapy... geeze I feel like I'm always commenting this BUT SHE NEEDS THERAPY!
It’s sad to see that Acacia took a good step in taking her kids off the internet but yet creating content still takes priority over them. It actually might be worse in her case if she has to make content without them if she’s gonna walk off into a forest and neglect them to do so. At least when they were on camera she was somewhat paying attention to them. So sad 😞
this comment reminds me of something Ruby Frankie said on camera, that “vlogging makes her a better mom because she can see herself being too harsh and tone it down, holds her accountable” but we all saw how that ended 😬
Omg screaming at the fact that you used some clips from my tiktoks! I love your channel! I was gonna do a full deep dive of acacia on tiktok, but her stans kept mass reporting my account and I didn’t want it to get deleted 😭
I’m so sorry to learn about the loss of your brother from the last video. I hope you’re doing as okay as you can ❤ he’ll always be with you, but god it’s awful and I’m so sorry. Really pumped about this part, I watched the last video twice 😂 thank you for your dedication, and please take the time you need to grieve whenever you need to, grief is ugly and weird. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. You are cared about ❤
@@cruelworldhappymindyou are a very strong young lady sometimes life just throws a curve and I hope you heal day by day. You are such a lovely person❤❤❤ and we all love you
Your words about your brother broke my heart. I'm going through grief process myself and I admire your strength. Your brother, wherever he is, is so proud of you!
Something Brittni said during one of the interview segments really sparked something in me about this situation and so many other situations: knowing someone's villain origin story doesn't make them any less of a villain or excuse the actions that gave them that villian status.
As a disabled person myself, I had my Mum fighting every step of the way for my whole life. She did much of it as a single Mum. I call BS on her being such a poor example of a parent to those wee kid. How sad. And maddening. My Mum would lose her crap if she watched this.
I was so disappointed bc it’s my birthday today and I had NOTHING to watch… you just made my whole day 😢😅❤ I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your brother- and although I’m just a stranger on the internet and I’m sure my words won’t help, I just wanted to say I know your brother is rooting for you and the continuance of your work that helps many others on your TH-cam channel. It’s hard and honestly this piece of you will likely never heal, but at least you can go on knowing he’s proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of others who find struggles in the world. I wish you all the love and support from this stranger on the internet ❤
@@cruelworldhappymind ugh thank you for your comment - I’ve watched you ever since you started your channel I’m kind of fangirling bc you wished me a HBD 🎂 But seriously - you are a wonderful person and I hope you know all of your viewers are right behind you on your healing journey 🫶❤️ you have a whole army of strangers on the internet who support you! I wanted to ask you if you ever cover true crime injustices? If so, I have a topic I’ve been emailing other people in TC space but I haven’t heard anything… I wanted to ask you but I wasn’t sure if you’d cover something like this. It’s just something that desperately needs eyes on it or else I’m terrified of the outcome 😞 it involves some people I knew in high school and I always knew they were bad news. Please let me know if you’re interested and maybe I can email you? And even if you agree to email me it doesn’t mean you have to do it, I promise not to hold you to it!
I lost my mother last year the day my son came home from NICU. The grief we feel is evidence of the love they gave us. Do not stop yourself from crying on the floor when it hits you. Sending the largest hug to you. May he rest in peace. 🤍
How Acacia treats her kids is very similar to the way my dad treated us, and well, there's a reason I haven't spoken to him in eight years. It's very difficult to build self-esteem as a kid when you're always wondering what you did wrong to make mommy/daddy not love you like the other kids' parents do. Every time you treat your child like they're disposable, you're inflicting trauma onto them that will sit heavy within them for maybe the rest of their life. I'm 23 and still have to remind myself regularly that I have inherent worth as a human being because that concept feels diametrically opposed to everything I know. And I had a loving parent to balance out a lot of the pain and hurt my dad dished out. I only saw the man on weekends after my parents divorced and that was more than I saw him before then. Instead, I have an incredible mom who raised two disabled kids all by herself and did a damn good job out of it. Acacia's kids don't seem to even have a loving parent at this point. Love is not enough to raise a child, but at least it's a starting point, but I'm not sure Acacia's kids have that.
I lost my mom this year too- don’t lose yourself in work in order not to feel the grief. You deserve to honor your pain, and you’re so strong for handling this while having your own family to stay strong for. I know I don’t know you, but I love your content and I’d be so proud of you if you were my family. He’s definitely still with you, cheering on your success. Just like all of us are! Take your time, and we will support whatever you do.
My heart breaks for you. I lost my sister when she was 28. My husband and I raised her daughter as our own. It took me a year to even start feeling some sense of normalcy. Give yourself time. I know how painful it is. Sending much love. 💖
Madison I’m sorry about your brother. I’m hugging you in my heart and praying for peace and comfort during this time. Thank you for making such well-produced content. I truly can’t imagine how much time goes into it!
Edit: I rewatched for about the third time and the feeding tube didn’t go in until after the surgery so nevermind. I was born disabled and had a feeding tube for a long time. My mom said we went on exactly one trip when I had to tube, left early and then never did it again due to how difficult it was to manage. I wasn’t allowed to stay with family or anything because they couldn’t feed me properly. If I had to guess, Rosie’s weight loss is a result of improper management of her tube.
So, her shaving her kids head reminded me I had friends that were "too mentally ill" to be allowed to have anything but a bowl cut growing up, even when we were in highschool and they absolutely were more than capable of maintaining their hair. I think that's just an excuse abusive parents use to dehumanize their children with bad haircuts.
I've never been good at taking care of my hair. My mom used to cut it very short as a child and I hated it. She certainly didn't put any effort in finding tools, or low effort ways to take care of my hair. As an adult, I have proved I am able to take care of my hair. I have found ways to take care of my hair with minimal effort. I have a straightener that is literally just a big hot brush that I run through it. And these have existed for a long time. She could have helped me but she didn't. Acacia reminds me a lot of my own mother
@@sejongunniespistolmy First girl is a Nightmare with scalp sensitivity, She used to scream and bite sometimes. After two years I decided to start cutting it shorter, but still long enough that we can tie it in a pony tail or pigtails. I did phantasize about cutting it really short to avoid drama, but She didn't want to and I understood that obvs. She is now 6and we haven't cut the lenghts in a year, She can brush it herself mostly, and now hugs me tight when I do it, to endure it Better. It's not Easy, but it's not the end of the world either. I wouldn't put a straightener trhough her hair, but I tried alllll the brushes and sprays.
Acacia’s excuse for going to the woods was to go cry. She forgot to mention that she brought her Nintendo with her and took photos for SM. 👀 So 🧢 And what a privilege to have to be negligent towards your children and not lose custody. There are horror stories of children being taken by CPS even when the parent(s) isn’t negligent.
Madison with the beautiful spirit, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father October 11 2023. I thought it was weird to describe how I felt as "surreal" until I heard you describe the same feeling. Hang in there. 🙏🏿 I keep telling myself that every day that I make it through the day, it's a victory. If I string together enough days, I can make it through a week. If I string together enough weeks... you get it. Time will make things better, I hope. I know I'll be okay and I know you'll be okay too. I don't know when and I don't know how, but we'll be okay. Love to you and your family ❤
I am so sorry about losing your brother. I'm an only child but I could not even imagine! *I actually just lost my aunt myself at 4am last Sunday.* 🥺😔 You are and always have been BEYOND strong, emotionally and mentally. You should be proud of yourself. The fact you are even still working while "working" through the grief proves even moreso of who you are: a very strong MOTHER. Your daughter will be so proud of you and admire you as the rest of us do. Take care, Madison. 💙
@cruelworldhappymind oh , wow. thankyou so much. 🩵💙 she was sick for a while , on the lung transplant waiting list , and somehow still managed to be the one happy , making US , the family , feel strong. If there's a heaven up there , I hope she is doing the same for your brother. 🥹🩵 And she was very funny, so he'll be laughing 🤭🥲
@simplynautica3233 thankyou. 🩵💙 now me reading THAT was sweet. 😊 i hope i can feel her too. she always knew how to make you laugh & smile no matter what mood. 🥲😔 thankyou again for taking the time to read this , and commenting. 🩵💙
Acacia reminds me so much of my stepdaughter’s mom. Manipulating situations to make herself the victim to not take accountability for her actions. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s so difficult to process and grieve the loss of such a close loved one. Wishing you the best 💕
I was abused and neglected as a kid and it’s harsh but I am not having children because I just know in my heart that I could not emotionally support them in the way that they need and deserve.
Honestly? It’s more admirable to do the self-reflection and realize you don’t have the bandwidth to properly take care of a child than have one because you’re culturally supposed to. We treat children like property and then are surprised when they’re not well-adjusted adults. Good on you for not continuing the cycle
Yes, I was also neglected by my mother and abused by my stepfather when I was a toddler. It's the main reason why I decided to never have kids. My PTSD is really bad, along with other mental health issues. I would never want a child to deal with my mental health and grow up to be an adult who struggles like me. If I had kids in my 20's like everyone wanted me to, they would have lived in a broken home and went through my addiction. I've made a lot of mistakes in life, but deciding to never have children is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm sure it's the case for you as well. I'm in my mid 30's and I STILL have people asking me if I'm gonna have kids 😑 it's annoying as hell.
I lost my older brother suddenly to a drug OD, who went through my rough childhood with me, and was my protector through thick and thin. He was the only person who understood me and what we went through, too. What you said in the intro resonated with me so much. I understand so much, and im so, so sorry youre having to feel this way. You are not alone. He will always be with you in heart and memories. Grief never gets easier, but it does get easier to deal with. Stay strong and if you need time away from the channel, we would understand. Grief counseling helped me to an extent. Take care of yourself, and amazing video as always. ❤
And Acacia’s behavior is heinous-even criminal. To neglect your children, let alone disabled children, shows she’s not fit to be a mom. I can’t believe they haven’t been taken from her!
The whole 8 passengers situation shows us that unless the kids are severely neglected/ abused, shit doesn’t get done. I won’t be surprised if it takes Rosie dying to finally get those kids outta there
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my younger brother last year and the pain is unlike anything I've ever felt before. I can imagine what you're going through and how your feeling.
I lost my older sister in 2018. We share the same birthday, 16yrs apart. I'm finally able to talk about it but I still HATE our birthday, it's so hard!! Just drags on my soul. I wish you both the best hun.
This woman is really something else! I had a family member who ended up needing to get her daughter different therapies because she had a muscular issue. It wasn’t cerebral palsy, but it was something similar. She got her daughter in speech, occupational, and physical therapys really early, and I really think it had an extremely positive impact. And this is a family member who at the time had pretty low income. In my opinion, what Acacia did is absolutely neglectful. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best, and I hope you have a lot of support during this time. as someone who has also lost someone, I know that it takes time, and I hope you have comfort while you are healing.
I’m so sorry about your brother. I hope you and your family are doing alright and thank you for this video and the work you do to bring awareness to the victims of these situations ❤️
I've known this Acacia girl for far too long. She's neglected one of her kids in the past. She was young, naive, and still had to chase after her dreams in life. In her early 20s she became a mom, but I have a feeling she may have regretted not taking the time to make such a huge and impactful decision that would likewise drastically change the whole course of he life.
She wasn’t in her 20s when she became a mother, she got pregnant when she was 18. After years of severely neglecting and giving away several pets. These poor children never had a chance
Also, as someone who was a very special needs child, both my mom and i having chronic illnesses, it would DESTROY us to be "adventuring" not even a week after a surgery/procedure. I , myself , just earlier this year was put into a medically induced coma for 1O days , suffering from another extreme bout of pneumonia. Was on life support , nasal feeding tube for a week , IVs in my neck , etc. It is November O1st and I *STILL* am having trouble breathing and my stamina is poor. Can you imagine a toddler , who just had *OPEN HEART SURGERY* "GOING CAMPING?!?!" 😢 Please someone save that poor child! All of them, actually! 🥺
@@sukiBambina aww , thankyou, mi amor. 🩵💙 i'm trying to get there. i'm on at-home oxygen but using it less and less and can walk and carry "heavy" things much more than i could. that was so sweet for you to leave this comment and you just made my entire say. ☺️😊 thankyou, love. 🩵
I lost my uncle unexpectedly this month, and just celebrated the one year anniversary of my aunts death. I am so, so sorry for your loss I can only imagine a fraction of your pain. I appreciate your content, thank you for finding the strength to do this.
There's more?! Thank you, Madison! You are one of my absolute favorites on this platform. EDIT: My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. Please give yourself grace.
I lost my older brother when I was 14, the intro definitely hit hard. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤Take care of yourself, I know it's so hard to be there for your family after such a thing
I lost my older brother when I was 14 as well.. Such a life altering experience for that to happen during those formative years. Take care, you are not alone ❤
I have no way to verify this, but it’s true. My coworker in the past year went on a few dates with acacia. He met her at a bar and had no idea of her internet fame or history, and based off her Instagram now, he had no idea she had kids. She also never mentioned them…..he only found out about them because the video of her kids at the park went viral, and he ceased contact with her💀 Not only is that crazy, but it’s so worrisome that she’s out here with three kids trying to get into relationships with men who don’t want kids and don’t know she has any.
My newborn came out at 9 pounds and you were telling me there’s a little baby girl at one years old was 11 pounds I’m so floored, and I’m extremely disappointed that that hospital didn’t take that child from her because clearly something is very wrong with that
@@cruelworldhappymindI just want to say that I’m sorry about your loss. Losing a family member is tragic, and I know how hard it is. My entire family died and I lived with no one.
I lost my dad Oct. 16th, a year ago. I know how this feels and I'm so so sorry. The existential spinning never really stops--but the episodes of it fully hitting you space out more over time I think. I spent the first year completely overcome by it, and now I can go a day or so without being hit by it. But every now and then, when I'm left alone with my thoughts or suddenly come across something that reminds me of him, it's there. We're here for you, Madison! You do such amazing work helping and validating people's struggles, it's the least we can do to return the good will.
I just want to come here to say, you inspire me Madison. I lost my Dad in 2017 and the grief CONSUMED ME! All of me. My life completely fell to my feet for a long time. Not even my children could keep me going. To this day I have lasting effects of my grief and trauma but I’m living now. I’m making each day count because I’ve realised that life is far too short to be drowning in sadness. Granted, i’m still Sad. A part of me will be sad every day for the rest of my life. But I can hide it better now. I can forget it’s there for longer periods of time. So your opening statement about how you are and how you’re coping, firstly I just want to say I’m so sorry that you are grieving your little brother. I hope you and your family are together and finding a way through this awful period of your life. And secondly, you are amazing to think the way you do. You’re showing so much strength and bravery and I’m in awe of you for it. Sending you so much love. Thankyou for carrying on with your content. And Thankyou for being you. ❤️
Being a mom myself, this whole situation makes me absolutely sick for the children! They didn’t ask for all Acacia’s problems but they do deserve to be loved and PROPERLY cared for. If she can’t give them that then she needs to do the right thing and get help for their sake.
Isn’t this the same Mum that was gaming, and we heard a big crash or something like that, and the child screaming and she didn’t even jump up straight away and seemed frustrated that she had to leave mid gaming mid streaming or something like that?
Apparently her excuse was that the dog backed into her and knocked her over. And that jairus had it handled. Maybe she’s telling the truth. But what mother wouldn’t at least holler if everything was ok? That’s what a good mom would do. Not care about her video game more. It’s like she realized that people were viewing her. So she had to pretend like she cares to not look like a bad mom. Bc then,she’d lose money.
First off, i am so deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I have an older brother myself and the thought of losing him is too much to bear. Please know that your community supports you in this time and do not feel the need to continue making content throughout your grieving process. That said, whenever you feel ready I would personally love to hear your take on the life of Matthew Perry. I am a huge friends fan, but apart from that i am someone in a family full of addicts and I have so much admiration for the work he did to help those struggling with addiction. I know your kindness and intelligence in your videos in the past show you would handle this topic aith the grace it deserves
So sorry for your loss. Lost my brother in law at 24 and my father to un-aliving and it never gets easier. Gotta keep moving forward being mindful they're watching over me and living life like they were unable to 💔. Side note: so happy you popped back up on my feed. Stupid YT algorithm made you and alot of others disappear. I was watching you when you hardly had any subscribers and were filming in your dining room/kitchen. So happy you don't exploit your child like so many tend to do. Keep going girl! You're awesome.
It is heartbreaking to hear what Rosie has to go through. I truly hope she gets taken care of, by someone else. This little girl deserves better parents. How could you let your *own* child live like this?
I really appreciate the 'internet acquintances' part of your intro. Because we don't really know each other, and I haven't watched all your vids, though quite a few. It's a lovely way to not work towards anything parasocial.
I’m so glad you mentioned not wanting to speculate too heavily on Rosie’s medical needs! I have so many issues with Acacia and her parenting for obvious reasons, but a close friend of mine as well as her now 4 year old daughter both have Alagille syndrome. It always bothers me when people blame Acacia for Rosie’s low weight when, yes it COULD be Acacia but my friends daughter is now 4 years old and still wearing age 12 month clothes, she’s also often on medication that makes her weight fluctuate drastically; it happens! Her mum is her biggest advocate, being someone with the same condition and although Acacia could be a problem, i don’t think that’s a definite… I just hate seeing people who know little to nothing about the condition make such huge claims when in reality, we know nothing. There’s so many things to call Acacia out for, but this always bothers me. Again, thank you for not going too heavy on that subject, sending you so much love during this hard time. You’re so so loved 🤍
I think there are some people who would blame acacia for her weight because she said in a blog that she & her ex went against their doctors recommendation of a feeding tube in order to try a special diet. They had her doing the special diet for quite a long time, a year at least, with no progress. Then she went into the hospital for emergency heart surgery & gained weight during the hospital stay. When the hospital stay ended, that’s when they went on the camping trip immediately
You probably won’t see this, but I am a grief/trauma therapist. I hope you have someone you can talk to about your brother. It sounds like he was deeply loved by you. Let yourself grieve when you need; there is no timeline or normal expression for this. You will find ways to honor him and his memory and it will help you heal. ❤ I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
Awwww, Madison. I'm so incredibly sorry. You don't owe anyone an explanation, grieve however and as long as you need to, there's no rules. We'll all be here when you're ready. 🖤
I'm so sorry for your loss - I can't even imagine what you're going through. I hope you're taking time for yourself and making space for the grief to work through it. I love your work so much, but you are so much more important than content.
What acacia doesn’t say speaks louder than what she does say. Acacias lack of consideration for her own children in her explanation/non-apology video tells you all you need to know about how little she cares about her children. I just hope they are in the care of someone who actually loves them and takes care of them. She never deserved those kids and they always deserved better than the mother they got.
your loss just happened. it shows your strength. after loosing my dad I was MIA for 2.5 years. the vulnerability you show exemplifies how STRONG and BRAVE you really are. Never let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️
Oh my goodness Madison I am so deeply sorry for your loss! The love of a sibling is one like no other. Grief is an incredible burden to bear, and you deserve to go about it in whatever way you need to. If that means it would be helpful for you to continue making videos, so be it. If that means you need to take a break from TH-cam, so be it. Your community is absolutely behind you in whatever you need to do for your well-being during this time. If you need to step away and take some personal time, I don’t think a single one of us would hold it against you or think you left us or anything. Take care of yourself, we love you, and we support you ✨💖
Glad to hear you're doing your best. Losing someone is hard. I lost my dad just over a week ago, and I'm still reeling. Nothing makes sense, nothing feels right, and nothing will ever be the same. If you have any advice for someone else who is grieving, I would be grateful to hear it.
i used to always defend acacia and her parenting when rosie was born, when creators like sloan were making tons of videos about her. i can't believe i was so invested that i looked past all the bs, the bad parenting, the neglect.. i hope her children are thriving now that they're offline. i still can't believe that park/van situation happened. it makes me feel sick to see that baby on top of a CAR with acacia nowhere in sight, not even to mention rosie being left on the blanket roadside. legitimately unbelievable. imagine being those babies and growing up to see how your childhood neglect became an internet scandal..
Not only that, but how slowly acacia was walking out of the forest. No sense of urgency she likely didn’t even see her kid on top of the roof. It’s a miracle he didn’t fall off and crack his skull open. Had she walked back any minute later that may have been the case.
@@teresitaperegrina3741 the most casual “hey what are you doing” to him as if he were playing on a jungle gym or something, you’re right when you say absolutely no urgency on her part
I’m sorry but how could you defend her very poor parenting of her second child? Not trying to attack you or anything just curious of how this could be. Didn’t you think it was wild how she’d dress up her oldest daughter appropriately for cold weather while her second disabled daughter wore very little?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cousin who was my best friend in the world in 2021 unexpectedly. I think, especially in the first 6 months it can be so overwhelming that it feels like you're going to get lost in that grief and you'll never make it out. You will though. And I couldn't not cry in front of my children,we were all a mess. But at night while they were sleeping I allowed myself to scream into a pillow and sob uncontrollably and lose myself in the overwhelming grief because if I didn't I would have exploded.You never stop grieving the loss but very slowly and over time you'll realize you can take a deep breath or think of a funny memory without feeling like someone is literally ripping your heart out of your chest. It does become a little more predictable, birthdays, holidays, the day you lost him. And sometimes it hits you out of nowhere and it's just as overwhelming but you get through it. There's something so tragic about not only losing someone who knows your whole life but losing someone who is young. I'm no expert on grief and it's different for everyone but I just wanted to let you know that grief can feel isolating and lonely and scary and people have a way intentionally to say things that they think are helpful but are not. I wanted to scream every time someone said "everything is okay" or "he's in a better place" because everything wasn't okay, and he died healthy at 20, his place is here. You are not alone and I'm so sorry. The only advice I have is..When I had to go back to work and the tears were unpredictable and I worked with people, I kept chilled black coffee soaked paper towels on me and a 30 second press to (closed) eyes takes the swelling and puffiness totally away.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother - I can't even fathom how rough it must be. Take as much time as needed to grieve, we'll be around regardless. ❤
We will see her kids on the news except it will be the police searching for a missing child or finding one of them dead. I hope not but i see it coming if the courts dont step in asap. I am so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but just take it one day at a time hun. ❤ Sending you love & support 💕
Madison, my heart goes out to you. When I lost my dad, I felt that “is this real” feeling so hard as well. Please know that you are so deeply appreciated, respected, and just so inspiring with the amazing content that you obviously spend SO much time and effort to produce. Your realness, humanity, and truly caring nature comes through in all of your work. I have so enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years. Thank you so so SO much, you are proof that kind humans still do exist in this world.
Madison, watching your videos feels like sitting down for brunch with a close friend. We are all here for you, I’m sending you so much love. take all the time you need and take care of yourself angel♥️
I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother and I are very close as well, and the thought of him or any of my friends and family leaving this earth terrifies the absolute crap out of me. It cannot be easy one bit, although I can't imagine what you're going through ❤ Sending so much love and support your way. Love you ❤
We are so sorry for your great loss. Please don't feel pressured to do more than feels natural. Though there is ultimately healing (as a part of the process) through your passion and career built on making a better space on YT, there is a time when momentum comes back. Your healing must come first. It's not self-indulgent, but a necessity. 💐🌺🌸⚘
Thank you SO much for uploading while going through this difficult time, it truly does not go unnoticed. However, take some time to process things and grieve, we’ll still be here whenever you bless us with a new video ❤️❤️❤️
its so awful. neglect is awful- i was neglected, and there is no competition between the children and the neglect they all are experiencing simultaneously, but rosie.. its especially awful. i have a disabled older sister, and although still neglected my parents made sure she was in different therapies, groups, and activities. acacia has absolutely robbed rosie. as stated in the video, early intervention makes such a difference. where would rosie be? it’s so incredibly unfair that acacia, who was in a position to truly provide for rosie, just… didn’t, all while showing obvious distain for her. we don’t know where rosie could have been, but when living with disabilities, any little thing to make life a bit easier to live is valuable and acacia completely robbed her of so many of the “could’ve-s”
As someone with adhd and autism (medium to higher support needs, even though i am verbal most of the time and socially somewhat aware), i cannot imagine leaving a disabled child alone, seeing as i was one myself. Children with these disabilities cannot be left alone, even if they may progress later on. This child could have *easily* died. Those other kids could have been kidnapped. Id be taking away those kids if i were cps. She cant be trusted with kids. Disabled kids are so often neglected and left alone and then the worst things happen. As a disabled person, im glad to see more people calling out how shes treated her disabled baby. Im gonna be honest here as somwone with an amazing mother who never neglected me: more parents of disabled people need to be called out for the treatment they give their kids. My fellow disabled friends were often never listened to when speaking out against parents like this. Neglect happens more often and people dont get what emotional neglect is too. So sad. I get why people on the outside are afriad to speak out but we need more people speaking up for disabled children since they cant help themselves yet, or ever.
My heart aches for your loss. I hope that those around you are providing you with the love, care, and support that you need and deserve through this. We love your videos and I have so much respect that you want to keep creating through your grief, just remember to always put your own mental health before us. We will wait and support you if you need a break at any time. 💛
Hey, I wasn’t really sure if it was my place to share, but when I was 21 I went through an extremely similar experience and lost my brothers and I just want to say that whatever way you grieve is the right way. If that means you’re posting more than usual as a distraction, or if it means you go into a shell for a month or three or a year. Whatever you need to do to cope with this is totally understandable, as long as you’re actively processing and healing. Never feel like you’re taking up too much space with your grief, because honestly you don’t understand what I went through with my grief, and nobody understands what you’re going through with your grief. Lean as much as you can on your support system, lean as much as you want on your supporters. You’re so strong, and you’re going to persevere to a new normal one day, but you’re allowed to be strong and in grief. Stay strong 💕
I lost my brother 3 weeks ago and I feel like I was meant to come across this video. I’m so sorry that you are experiencing what I am right now. I have never felt a pain comparable to this. Hearing how much you loved your brother and loving each other through trauma made me feel a little less alone. So thank you for sharing your grief with us ❤
I lost my brother to a car accident a few years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's hard to get through and I appreciate you sharing your story.
dealing with a loss of such a close family member at such a young age... madison, take all the time you need to grieve and heal. i wish you nothing but the best
I felt bad for her in the beginning. I empathized with how hard it is being a solo mom. But seeing the evidence against her speaks volumes. She is clearly incapable of putting her children first, and will create whatever narrative she needs in order to support her manipulation
I'm so sorry for your loss; grief, especially from losing someone so close, can be just so, so painful, but please take as much time and distance as you need. You're not alone.
Madison, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Take your time working through your grief in whatever ways feel healing to you, regardless if it seems to makes sense or not. My heart is with you and your family. I'd also like to say thank you for the dedication you put into your work. You're kind, compassionate, thorough, and concise. It's always appreciated. I have a lot of respect for you because of the way you present yourself and your videos and the way you carry yourself. You're always so classy and you deal with things in a way that never appears catty or dramatic. I appreciate that so much. Thanks for being awesome and for sharing that awesomeness with the social media world. I hope you and your family can find peace in the memories you share of your brother, and that you might find comfort in the presence of one another. Your CWHM family are here for you in whatever way we can be. Whatever you need, just say the word. 🤍
you’re so incredibly strong and you’ve done more than enough for us just by sharing your art. many of us will never be able to understand your loss-me included, but please take as much time as you need, stay safe and strong❣️❣️
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. My younger brother is my world, I couldn't even imagine. I can tell you were a wonderful older sister just from the way you spoke about him. Take care of yourself, sending my love and comfort ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. My sister is the person I’ve processed a lot of our childhood and adulthood with when it comes to our parents. I can’t imagine losing her. Please take your time to grieve your loss and take care of yourself as best you can. ❤
A girl my sister went to school with used to pride herself as a “milf” then she lost custody of her daughter. She deleted all pics of her daughter and started an OF. She deletes any comments of people asking how her daughter is.
Super lame that in the "i am here to stay" apology(?) she didn't even acknowledge that she did anything wrong, even if she felt she had an excuse for it. Her not taking accountability makes me think she doesn't and won't care if anything happens. She's not actively trying to take care of her kids better imo. I don't want to assume the worst but part of me really thinks that if something bad happened to one of her kids, she would just milk it for content even if she didn't care at all.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You are a genuinely, truly absolutely pure soul, so kind, so decent, so good, a to the core good person, so its easy to imagine that your wonderful brother was as well. Siblings can be so many things but when they are our rocks, they are our key stones, or the bedrock, the foundation, the ground on which we stand, they hold it steady for us, we hold it steady for them, we're each others anchors and strength, but also each others balloons to lift each other up. I am just so sorry.
Thank you to Brittni and Irene for sharing their stories, and being incredible humans!! What videos would you like to see next?
SSSniperWolf fiasco
I got 3. Onision controversies, Britney Spears memoir, SSSniperwolf (even if i haven't paid attention to the controversy surrounding her), or it could be something light hearted
You fighting back tears has me in tears 😭💔
andrew tate >:( ugh
is it possible for you to make captions available. I love your content but captions are really important for me to be able to fully access what is being said and portrayed.
As somebody who formerly worked in the funeral industry, I have a quote I truly love to share with those in grief.
“Grief never ends, but it changes.
It’s a passage, not a place to stay. It’s not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.”
What is grief but love persevering? - WandaVision
Beautiful quote💕
One thing I've learned since my mom passed away is that time doesn't heal all wounds. We just have to learn to cope & adapt to our new normal. We always have memories, advice, & characteristics within ourselves that remind us of our loved ones. They helped shape us into who we are today.
I only had 23 yrs with my mom, but I'm blessed & very thankful I got that time. She was my best friend. Esp as I became an adult & a mother. She always gave me kind advice, never judged me, & always wanted to see me succeed. She was one of the most genuine & really kind hearted. I miss her everyday.🌸🩵🩷
@@kristenowen5328 Thank you so much for sharing that. It's been almost 20 years since my dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, and I feel the same way about him that you do about your mom. Sending lots of love to you and everyone who's lost someone so incredibly precious to their life. ♥
That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
This is so beautiful. My grandma is dying of lung and bone cancer right now, and every day I think about how I’ll ever be able to deal with the grief. Grief really is a sign of love, because you know the harder you grieve, the more you loved the person. Thank you 💗
I think you should’ve also mentioned how her ex’s parents had retired & moved to Hawaii, but awhile ago had to move back to Oregon & take care of the children, who now live with them. Acacia “doing it all herself with no babysitter” is literally just picking them up from school and taking them to the park, which is how she’s able to be in California for 2 out of 4 weeks a month.
Wait……the kids live w her ex’s parents?!?? Why???? Wtf.
@@twinkletoes6290I think the video said their split was in part due to his issues with addiction - if he can't, she's negligent, and her parents weren't great, then it makes sense if his parents have them
28:59 😅
in her new video she said she and jarius has joint custody 50/50 so when the kids are with him she flies to LA to be with family and friends, she said she did this a lot when she was going through the divorce, she also rents a place there
@@TheJediMazter hey not just “werent great” one of them was a pedophile, in acacias mind that would be be bad press first and then the childrens wellbeing second
I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my brother. We're here for you, and take all the time you need to grieve. We will be here for you but don't feel pressured to make content if you feel you can't! Do what you need to for yourself. We love you!
Oh gosh😢 keep her and her family in your prayers 🙏❤️🥺
@@blazingstar9638 exactly. I may not be religious but I hope with all my heart that all is well for her and her family. An end is always room for a new beginning.
I lost my younger brother in 2017. He was the youngest of six and I’m the oldest, so you can imagine the pain. On top of that, he was hit by a car who ran away and he was only 18. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and there’s still days where I wake up crying because he was alive in my dream… my mother has never been the same, honestly my whole family dynamic has completely changed. We will never be the same, but there’s a weird solace in knowing that he’ll never be hurt ever again. I always worry about my siblings, so knowing that one of them is completely safe from harm is oddly comforting. We’re not religious so, in our heads, he’s not in heaven watching over us, but he’s in a truly safe space where harm will never come his way, and he’s stuck in the forever place of an 18 year old boy who loved music, dancing and doing things for others.
🙌🏾
Agreed, sending so much love ❤
Honestly what hurt me the most in this video is when her daughter told the lady that she knew her mom wouldnt come help with her brother’s scrapped knee. That is just so sad that they are soo young and they already see the neglect and negligence that their own mother is portraying to them. Justice for the children tbh cause this whole situation is just so heartbreaking.
Taking accountability for your actions? Being a good person? What’s that when you can lie?
😪😪
Have I heard of this person before? No.
Am I still watching both parts all the way through? Yes.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Madison. Thank you for your hard work through that pain ❤
This is a 3 part series if u wanna go back and find the other 😝
i’m gob smacked you’ve never heard of her. i wish we could change shoes lol.
If you see her tumblr pictures she will likely be familiar
@@vickimaccallum you’re right, after watching these deep dives her vibe is very familiar; I was sheltered back in the day but I must have seen her at some point without knowing who she is.
No idea who she is either. But I don't watch family bloggers, "influencers"etc.
The fact that she keeps calling Rosie the "forgotten baby" is SO upsetting 😡💔
I know. She probably thinks it’s funny but I absolutely hate it
She's even acknowledging that she doesn't take care of her as well but thinks it's funny ???
@@Brettzky9991 Yeah. By saying that, she’s self aware but clearly doesn’t do anything to make sure Rosie is okay
It’s giving classic narcissist mom….acting like it’s a “joke” or some kind of silly roast/teasing when really it reveals who she thinks of as her “golden child” and who she considers the scapegoat….
not excusing her behavior at all, this video proves she should not have a platform or custody of her kids at all, but that video was taken out of context. It was early on in her pregnancy and she said she didn’t feel pregnancy symptoms for months that it was much different from her first. They were also moving at the time i believe so explains that a bit. I’ve known people who’ve said they forgot they were preg because of similar reasons. She didn’t continuously call Rosie that. Still horrifying nonetheless and I hope those kids get put with a safe and competent family.
Let’s be real: doing it “alone, all by herself” is not what’s going on here. Single moms doing “everything” alone don’t get 2 weeks out of the month child free to galavant all over creation. She’s getting a significant amount of help whether she wants to admit it or not. If she truly had to go it alone it would be a rude awakening for her. How she behaved when she thought no one was looking says it all. Parenthood is a drag and she sees herself as a babysitter rather than a mother. She only claims motherhood where it garners her attention. This is grim. The only ones suffering are her children
As an actual single mom who did everything alone by myself for 3.5 years of my sons life and lived check to check uninsured in a shitty overpriced apartment with appliances older than me, she can go fuck herself. She’s literally rich and has her kids less than 50% of the time.
This mother resents Rosie. She resents that she isn't a 'normal' child. She resents all the care, time and money that she has to put into Rosie however she can use her as a prop for views.
More darkly I feel like she puts Rosie into all these situations where she will catch something, obtain an infection of some kind or something will happen that Rosie will die from then she will have a free conscience and be able to milk it for more views and money.
And sorry for your loss my dear ❤
It’s truly so upsetting to see, the pattern is undeniable at this point. And thank you love 💜
I’ve thought that from day one. She definitely wants something to happen to Rosie and be free of the “burden”
I absolutely believe this. Why else would you go camping in freezing temperatures right after your baby had open heart surgery? She doesn't want that sweet girl, she's trying to passively get rid of her.
…….That second paragraph might be a little insane….
I'm not saying you're right, I'm just saying I also had that thought, especially when she left her daughter with mobility issues beside the road.
I’m sorry for your loss. My younger brother “unalived” himself this year, august 15. I have been pretending it’s not real. But I relive the phone call and the screams all day every day. I’m basically a zombie. I hope you’re doing ok x
This is outright devastating to hear.. please let yourself cry, let yourself be a zombie, whatever gets you through that un-imaginable pain❤ your brother always loved you and knows you loved him back, and even in paradise, he can't wait to see you again❤ I wish you'll aquire all the strength needed to keep on living
I hope you're doing okay
I am so sorry for your loss. May your brother's memory be a blessing ❤
Take your time, Madison. I lost my mom eight months ago to a long illness (Alzheimers) and it's still so tough; just watching this reminds me of her...I'm a nonambulatory PWD - I have cerebral palsy - and my mom was the best caretaker/support/cheerleader/fighter I could have ever asked for. Thank you for illuminating this, just like you do with all your content. I'm so sorry for your loss - sending you love and healing thoughts.
Hope you’re doing okay @chrissyeff ❤️ I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
Thank you so so much,@@nicolewoolford5240- we all take it day by day.
Losing a family member is like being gutted over and over and then seemingly randomly.. living with a hole in your chest. I’m sorry that was such a graphic description but I think you probably understand… my pops has Huntington’s, it’s similar to Alzheimer’s, I’m lucky to still have him with me but it’s hard and I’m kind of clinging on because i can’t imagine life without him. No matter how his state of mind is..
I wish you the absolute best life, we were both so lucky to have an amazing parent supporting us. It definitely shows when you’re sharing your pain and kindness to others.. Stay beautiful and stay true❤️
I lost my mom this year too. It’s a pain that’s indescribable. I know you’re mom is still cheering you on, a mothers love never goes away ❤Now all we can do is live life as best as we can to honor the joy we know they’d want us to feel.
I understand all too well,@@lindseyjohnson3577- you're so right, just hoping for those clear moments for them AND you. We ARE both really lucky, thank you for sharing your story, and I'm wishing you, your dad and everyone peace and strength as you go through this journey together...know you have a bunch of pixels here sending love. 🥰
The fact she has no problem letting the world know she ignores/plays favorites with this poor little baby 😢 the sand and her being separated from "family time" is legit making me tear up
Hi, I am an adult with agenesis of the corpus callosum . Every kid is different. We may not reach milestones quickly, but we still end up most of the time making them . Physical and Speech therapy IS NEEDED. Regardless, Rosie was still a baby and babies need extra care.
Thank you for sharing! I cannot speak to the experience, I can only speak to what I learn online so your knowledge and experience is invaluable 🤍
Rosie is 5 years old…
As someone who grew up with an abusive and narcissistic mother the whole 'never taking responsibility for their own actions and deflecting via sudden and unrelated trauma dumping' bit was way too relatable. Also in her apology/explanation vids when she's crying and saying the navigator changed her life before immediately dropping the emotion to do the sign off was deeply unsettling.
As a disabled person who my mom battled hard for YEARS to get me the proper care and rights that I need, a mom like Acacia angers me SO BAD!!
Being disabled is already hard enough with lack of understanding from society, lack of information, tons of bureaucracy and lack of accessibility to proper doctors, a mother should be there for her child
I’m also disabled. And I completely agree. People with disabilities are always going to be here, so I really wish that there could be things made a bit easier for us. And people stop stigmatizing people with them. And Rosie definitely 100% deserves better parents who give her the care that she deserves.
Not disabled, unless you count my narcolepsy, but kids who have disabilities should never be treated like this cause like you said they will always be here, and doesn't make them any less of a person. They deserve a good quality of life and to be treated like a normal freaking person!
This type of shit heats me up.
@@reinasherman8009I'm physically disabled and I'd argue narcolepsy can be disabling if it's severe enough to impair your life
Right? Mental health and trauma are NO excuse to 1- be an asshole 2- be a bad parent. I have AuDHD and was diagnosed with Autism around 20 something but my mother, a single mother who went through DA and FOUGHT TO COME OUT ON TOP(now about to graduate as LPN and I am so so so proud), was UNDIAGNOSED FOR YEARS and she gave me everything I needed AND WAY MORE. She worked her ASS off and protected me as a "gifted kid". I am CHILDLESS AT 27 AND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM DOING THIS TO CHILDREN IN GENERAL LIKE NOT EVEN MY OWN. I am so ANGRY! Sending light and love to those poor babies. THE TRUTH AND LOVE WINS. Every time.
@@reinasherman8009 if it’s chronic and affects your life enough to impair daily function yes it is a disability, stoma bags and the like are classed as disabilities as well
I’m a mommy to one little boy and this makes me so sad. Even in her “explanation” videos they just sound so self centered, she was supposed to be giving her account of the park incident and all she talked about was herself 😢 no mention of how scary it was that her little baby was on top of the van, and how bad she should have felt for letting them get into that situation. So wild.
As someone born with a heart condition, I am so grateful my parents treated me with the utmost care and love. My whole family loves me and never let my disabilities impact the way they treat me. I wish Rosie had a better family.
I was born with a heart condition too (Tetrogy of Fallot!) and I’ve had 2 open heart surgeries and after hearing things like how Rosie is treated, it makes me extra grateful for a loving family. Im so glad your family is good to you too! Us zipper club members have to stick together! 🤍
@@jordanalmond3458 Yeah! Happy you have a loving family. Zipper Club members for life! 👍
My daughter is in early intervention and I don't pay anything. When your child is under 3 they are eligible....this is pure neglect and it makes me sick especially being a mother I can't imagine not doing everything I can to provide for my child.
Her parenting: abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. Those children, my heart break for, but especially that sweet innocent Rosie, and as a mother, I could throw up- this is insanity. God she’s so horrible and literally has excuses for everything she does. This absolutely is neglectful because it is neglect. I literally do not understand. So sad.
there are various signs of mental health struggles... one that stands out to me is the need to always find a new self- it's this struggle of identity that I know from BPD ... the sexual trauma, the seemingly very harsh cuts in her life, always needing to get validation from an audience, history of selfharm, intense relationships, desperately trying to uphold and image... I know all that from BPD
now I'm not a therapist so I won't diagnose her but I want to say I relate!
And what helped me is cutting off the exterior validation (aka social media) and going to DBT therapy... geeze I feel like I'm always commenting this BUT SHE NEEDS THERAPY!
It’s sad to see that Acacia took a good step in taking her kids off the internet but yet creating content still takes priority over them. It actually might be worse in her case if she has to make content without them if she’s gonna walk off into a forest and neglect them to do so. At least when they were on camera she was somewhat paying attention to them. So sad 😞
this comment reminds me of something Ruby Frankie said on camera, that “vlogging makes her a better mom because she can see herself being too harsh and tone it down, holds her accountable” but we all saw how that ended 😬
Absolutely, at least she had to pretend to be a caring mother when she films them for content
Omg screaming at the fact that you used some clips from my tiktoks! I love your channel! I was gonna do a full deep dive of acacia on tiktok, but her stans kept mass reporting my account and I didn’t want it to get deleted 😭
I reccomend settong up a second account for it maybe so even if the acc is taken down it wont be ur main one!
I’m so sorry to learn about the loss of your brother from the last video. I hope you’re doing as okay as you can ❤ he’ll always be with you, but god it’s awful and I’m so sorry.
Really pumped about this part, I watched the last video twice 😂 thank you for your dedication, and please take the time you need to grieve whenever you need to, grief is ugly and weird. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace. You are cared about ❤
Thank you love 🥺💜💜 it is the strangest experience I have ever gone through, but it means the world to me to have all the support. 🙏 thank you.
@@cruelworldhappymindGod bless you❤❤❤❤❤
@@cruelworldhappymind hang in there you beautiful soul. 🖤
@@cruelworldhappymindyou are a very strong young lady sometimes life just throws a curve and I hope you heal day by day. You are such a lovely person❤❤❤ and we all love you
Your words about your brother broke my heart. I'm going through grief process myself and I admire your strength. Your brother, wherever he is, is so proud of you!
Something Brittni said during one of the interview segments really sparked something in me about this situation and so many other situations: knowing someone's villain origin story doesn't make them any less of a villain or excuse the actions that gave them that villian status.
I liked how Brittni said, "And then she wipes her tears with your money."
As horrible as the situation is that was 😂 righteously brutal.
Smart lady!
As a disabled person myself, I had my Mum fighting every step of the way for my whole life. She did much of it as a single Mum. I call BS on her being such a poor example of a parent to those wee kid. How sad. And maddening. My Mum would lose her crap if she watched this.
I was so disappointed bc it’s my birthday today and I had NOTHING to watch… you just made my whole day 😢😅❤
I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your brother- and although I’m just a stranger on the internet and I’m sure my words won’t help, I just wanted to say I know your brother is rooting for you and the continuance of your work that helps many others on your TH-cam channel. It’s hard and honestly this piece of you will likely never heal, but at least you can go on knowing he’s proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of others who find struggles in the world. I wish you all the love and support from this stranger on the internet ❤
Happy birthday
@@mikalcarruthersthank you 🎉
Happy birthday! And thank you so much 💜
@@cruelworldhappymind ugh thank you for your comment - I’ve watched you ever since you started your channel I’m kind of fangirling bc you wished me a HBD 🎂
But seriously - you are a wonderful person and I hope you know all of your viewers are right behind you on your healing journey 🫶❤️ you have a whole army of strangers on the internet who support you!
I wanted to ask you if you ever cover true crime injustices? If so, I have a topic I’ve been emailing other people in TC space but I haven’t heard anything… I wanted to ask you but I wasn’t sure if you’d cover something like this. It’s just something that desperately needs eyes on it or else I’m terrified of the outcome 😞 it involves some people I knew in high school and I always knew they were bad news.
Please let me know if you’re interested and maybe I can email you? And even if you agree to email me it doesn’t mean you have to do it, I promise not to hold you to it!
i want to hug you !!!!! so kind
I lost my mother last year the day my son came home from NICU.
The grief we feel is evidence of the love they gave us. Do not stop yourself from crying on the floor when it hits you. Sending the largest hug to you.
May he rest in peace. 🤍
How Acacia treats her kids is very similar to the way my dad treated us, and well, there's a reason I haven't spoken to him in eight years. It's very difficult to build self-esteem as a kid when you're always wondering what you did wrong to make mommy/daddy not love you like the other kids' parents do.
Every time you treat your child like they're disposable, you're inflicting trauma onto them that will sit heavy within them for maybe the rest of their life. I'm 23 and still have to remind myself regularly that I have inherent worth as a human being because that concept feels diametrically opposed to everything I know.
And I had a loving parent to balance out a lot of the pain and hurt my dad dished out. I only saw the man on weekends after my parents divorced and that was more than I saw him before then. Instead, I have an incredible mom who raised two disabled kids all by herself and did a damn good job out of it.
Acacia's kids don't seem to even have a loving parent at this point. Love is not enough to raise a child, but at least it's a starting point, but I'm not sure Acacia's kids have that.
I lost my mom this year too- don’t lose yourself in work in order not to feel the grief. You deserve to honor your pain, and you’re so strong for handling this while having your own family to stay strong for. I know I don’t know you, but I love your content and I’d be so proud of you if you were my family. He’s definitely still with you, cheering on your success. Just like all of us are! Take your time, and we will support whatever you do.
My heart breaks for you. I lost my sister when she was 28. My husband and I raised her daughter as our own. It took me a year to even start feeling some sense of normalcy. Give yourself time. I know how painful it is. Sending much love. 💖
Madison I’m sorry about your brother. I’m hugging you in my heart and praying for peace and comfort during this time. Thank you for making such well-produced content. I truly can’t imagine how much time goes into it!
Edit: I rewatched for about the third time and the feeding tube didn’t go in until after the surgery so nevermind.
I was born disabled and had a feeding tube for a long time. My mom said we went on exactly one trip when I had to tube, left early and then never did it again due to how difficult it was to manage. I wasn’t allowed to stay with family or anything because they couldn’t feed me properly. If I had to guess, Rosie’s weight loss is a result of improper management of her tube.
This knowledge is horrifying. I hope she loses her kids. And what is the dad doing about all this. I hope you are okay I’m glad you had proper care!!
Idk how doctors didn’t secretly alert the police at the hospital that she was neglecting her.
So, her shaving her kids head reminded me I had friends that were "too mentally ill" to be allowed to have anything but a bowl cut growing up, even when we were in highschool and they absolutely were more than capable of maintaining their hair. I think that's just an excuse abusive parents use to dehumanize their children with bad haircuts.
I've never been good at taking care of my hair. My mom used to cut it very short as a child and I hated it. She certainly didn't put any effort in finding tools, or low effort ways to take care of my hair. As an adult, I have proved I am able to take care of my hair. I have found ways to take care of my hair with minimal effort. I have a straightener that is literally just a big hot brush that I run through it. And these have existed for a long time. She could have helped me but she didn't. Acacia reminds me a lot of my own mother
Reminds me of the poor little girl who was so obviously abused before she went missing - Summer Wells
@@sejongunniespistolmy First girl is a Nightmare with scalp sensitivity, She used to scream and bite sometimes. After two years I decided to start cutting it shorter, but still long enough that we can tie it in a pony tail or pigtails. I did phantasize about cutting it really short to avoid drama, but She didn't want to and I understood that obvs. She is now 6and we haven't cut the lenghts in a year, She can brush it herself mostly, and now hugs me tight when I do it, to endure it Better. It's not Easy, but it's not the end of the world either. I wouldn't put a straightener trhough her hair, but I tried alllll the brushes and sprays.
Acacia’s excuse for going to the woods was to go cry. She forgot to mention that she brought her Nintendo with her and took photos for SM. 👀 So 🧢 And what a privilege to have to be negligent towards your children and not lose custody. There are horror stories of children being taken by CPS even when the parent(s) isn’t negligent.
Sounds like a pity ploy. But yes, in many ways Acacia is much more privileged than the average person.
@@lordfreerealestate8302I think it’s bc she’s white and pretty
Madison with the beautiful spirit, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father October 11 2023. I thought it was weird to describe how I felt as "surreal" until I heard you describe the same feeling. Hang in there. 🙏🏿 I keep telling myself that every day that I make it through the day, it's a victory. If I string together enough days, I can make it through a week. If I string together enough weeks... you get it. Time will make things better, I hope. I know I'll be okay and I know you'll be okay too. I don't know when and I don't know how, but we'll be okay. Love to you and your family ❤
I am so sorry about losing your brother. I'm an only child but I could not even imagine! *I actually just lost my aunt myself at 4am last Sunday.* 🥺😔 You are and always have been BEYOND strong, emotionally and mentally. You should be proud of yourself. The fact you are even still working while "working" through the grief proves even moreso of who you are: a very strong MOTHER. Your daughter will be so proud of you and admire you as the rest of us do.
Take care, Madison. 💙
Thank you and I’m so sorry to hear about your aunt! 😢

Acacia reminds me so much of my stepdaughter’s mom. Manipulating situations to make herself the victim to not take accountability for her actions.
Also, I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s so difficult to process and grieve the loss of such a close loved one. Wishing you the best 💕
I was abused and neglected as a kid and it’s harsh but I am not having children because I just know in my heart that I could not emotionally support them in the way that they need and deserve.
Same 💙💙
Honestly? It’s more admirable to do the self-reflection and realize you don’t have the bandwidth to properly take care of a child than have one because you’re culturally supposed to. We treat children like property and then are surprised when they’re not well-adjusted adults. Good on you for not continuing the cycle
Same here, I can't have kids just to watch them suffer just like I did
Yes, I was also neglected by my mother and abused by my stepfather when I was a toddler. It's the main reason why I decided to never have kids. My PTSD is really bad, along with other mental health issues. I would never want a child to deal with my mental health and grow up to be an adult who struggles like me. If I had kids in my 20's like everyone wanted me to, they would have lived in a broken home and went through my addiction. I've made a lot of mistakes in life, but deciding to never have children is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm sure it's the case for you as well. I'm in my mid 30's and I STILL have people asking me if I'm gonna have kids 😑 it's annoying as hell.
I lost my older brother suddenly to a drug OD, who went through my rough childhood with me, and was my protector through thick and thin. He was the only person who understood me and what we went through, too. What you said in the intro resonated with me so much. I understand so much, and im so, so sorry youre having to feel this way. You are not alone. He will always be with you in heart and memories. Grief never gets easier, but it does get easier to deal with. Stay strong and if you need time away from the channel, we would understand. Grief counseling helped me to an extent. Take care of yourself, and amazing video as always. ❤
And Acacia’s behavior is heinous-even criminal. To neglect your children, let alone disabled children, shows she’s not fit to be a mom. I can’t believe they haven’t been taken from her!
I'm pretty sure if she wasn't white, pretty, and fairly well-known, her kids would have been removed long ago.
The whole 8 passengers situation shows us that unless the kids are severely neglected/ abused, shit doesn’t get done.
I won’t be surprised if it takes Rosie dying to finally get those kids outta there
Well then I hopes she gets arrested and goes to prison. An is never allowed to have pets or children again.
35:16 “it’s okay, she won’t” is so heartbreaking
Also sorry for your loss, Madison. Take any time you need 🖤
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
I lost my younger brother last year and the pain is unlike anything I've ever felt before. I can imagine what you're going through and how your feeling.
I lost my older sister in 2018. We share the same birthday, 16yrs apart. I'm finally able to talk about it but I still HATE our birthday, it's so hard!! Just drags on my soul. I wish you both the best hun.
This woman is really something else! I had a family member who ended up needing to get her daughter different therapies because she had a muscular issue. It wasn’t cerebral palsy, but it was something similar. She got her daughter in speech, occupational, and physical therapys really early, and I really think it had an extremely positive impact. And this is a family member who at the time had pretty low income. In my opinion, what Acacia did is absolutely neglectful. Also, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best, and I hope you have a lot of support during this time. as someone who has also lost someone, I know that it takes time, and I hope you have comfort while you are healing.
I’m so sorry about your brother. I hope you and your family are doing alright and thank you for this video and the work you do to bring awareness to the victims of these situations ❤️
Thank you so much 💜💜
I've known this Acacia girl for far too long. She's neglected one of her kids in the past. She was young, naive, and still had to chase after her dreams in life. In her early 20s she became a mom, but I have a feeling she may have regretted not taking the time to make such a huge and impactful decision that would likewise drastically change the whole course of he life.
She wasn’t in her 20s when she became a mother, she got pregnant when she was 18. After years of severely neglecting and giving away several pets. These poor children never had a chance
Also, as someone who was a very special needs child, both my mom and i having chronic illnesses, it would DESTROY us to be "adventuring" not even a week after a surgery/procedure.
I , myself , just earlier this year was put into a medically induced coma for 1O days , suffering from another extreme bout of pneumonia. Was on life support , nasal feeding tube for a week , IVs in my neck , etc. It is November O1st and I *STILL* am having trouble breathing and my stamina is poor. Can you imagine a toddler , who just had *OPEN HEART SURGERY* "GOING CAMPING?!?!" 😢
Please someone save that poor child! All of them, actually! 🥺
Hope you’re doing better!!! And I agree 1000%

I lost my uncle unexpectedly this month, and just celebrated the one year anniversary of my aunts death. I am so, so sorry for your loss I can only imagine a fraction of your pain. I appreciate your content, thank you for finding the strength to do this.
There's more?! Thank you, Madison! You are one of my absolute favorites on this platform. EDIT: My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. Please give yourself grace.
I lost my sister 7 years ago and it still is so hard. I’m very sorry. Be patient with yourself. Healing looks different to everyone
I lost my older brother when I was 14, the intro definitely hit hard. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤Take care of yourself, I know it's so hard to be there for your family after such a thing
I lost my older brother when I was 14 as well.. Such a life altering experience for that to happen during those formative years. Take care, you are not alone ❤
I have no way to verify this, but it’s true. My coworker in the past year went on a few dates with acacia. He met her at a bar and had no idea of her internet fame or history, and based off her Instagram now, he had no idea she had kids. She also never mentioned them…..he only found out about them because the video of her kids at the park went viral, and he ceased contact with her💀 Not only is that crazy, but it’s so worrisome that she’s out here with three kids trying to get into relationships with men who don’t want kids and don’t know she has any.
My newborn came out at 9 pounds and you were telling me there’s a little baby girl at one years old was 11 pounds I’m so floored, and I’m extremely disappointed that that hospital didn’t take that child from her because clearly something is very wrong with that
Sorry for your loss may your younger brother rest in paradise 🙏🏼🕊💙
Thank you 🤍🤍
@@cruelworldhappymindI just want to say that I’m sorry about your loss. Losing a family member is tragic, and I know how hard it is. My entire family died and I lived with no one.
I lost my dad Oct. 16th, a year ago.
I know how this feels and I'm so so sorry. The existential spinning never really stops--but the episodes of it fully hitting you space out more over time I think. I spent the first year completely overcome by it, and now I can go a day or so without being hit by it. But every now and then, when I'm left alone with my thoughts or suddenly come across something that reminds me of him, it's there.
We're here for you, Madison! You do such amazing work helping and validating people's struggles, it's the least we can do to return the good will.
I'm sorry about your brother, I lost my older brother when I was 14 sending lot's of positive vibes to you and your family
I just want to come here to say, you inspire me Madison. I lost my Dad in 2017 and the grief CONSUMED ME! All of me. My life completely fell to my feet for a long time. Not even my children could keep me going. To this day I have lasting effects of my grief and trauma but I’m living now. I’m making each day count because I’ve realised that life is far too short to be drowning in sadness. Granted, i’m still Sad. A part of me will be sad every day for the rest of my life. But I can hide it better now. I can forget it’s there for longer periods of time.
So your opening statement about how you are and how you’re coping, firstly I just want to say I’m so sorry that you are grieving your little brother. I hope you and your family are together and finding a way through this awful period of your life. And secondly, you are amazing to think the way you do. You’re showing so much strength and bravery and I’m in awe of you for it. Sending you so much love. Thankyou for carrying on with your content. And Thankyou for being you. ❤️
Being a mom myself, this whole situation makes me absolutely sick for the children! They didn’t ask for all Acacia’s problems but they do deserve to be loved and PROPERLY cared for. If she can’t give them that then she needs to do the right thing and get help for their sake.
Isn’t this the same Mum that was gaming, and we heard a big crash or something like that, and the child screaming and she didn’t even jump up straight away and seemed frustrated that she had to leave mid gaming mid streaming or something like that?
Apparently her excuse was that the dog backed into her and knocked her over. And that jairus had it handled. Maybe she’s telling the truth. But what mother wouldn’t at least holler if everything was ok? That’s what a good mom would do. Not care about her video game more. It’s like she realized that people were viewing her. So she had to pretend like she cares to not look like a bad mom. Bc then,she’d lose money.
First off, i am so deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I have an older brother myself and the thought of losing him is too much to bear. Please know that your community supports you in this time and do not feel the need to continue making content throughout your grieving process. That said, whenever you feel ready I would personally love to hear your take on the life of Matthew Perry. I am a huge friends fan, but apart from that i am someone in a family full of addicts and I have so much admiration for the work he did to help those struggling with addiction. I know your kindness and intelligence in your videos in the past show you would handle this topic aith the grace it deserves
So sorry for your loss. Lost my brother in law at 24 and my father to un-aliving and it never gets easier. Gotta keep moving forward being mindful they're watching over me and living life like they were unable to 💔.
Side note: so happy you popped back up on my feed. Stupid YT algorithm made you and alot of others disappear. I was watching you when you hardly had any subscribers and were filming in your dining room/kitchen. So happy you don't exploit your child like so many tend to do. Keep going girl! You're awesome.
You can say dying in TH-cam comments. Fyi
It is heartbreaking to hear what Rosie has to go through. I truly hope she gets taken care of, by someone else. This little girl deserves better parents. How could you let your *own* child live like this?
I really appreciate the 'internet acquintances' part of your intro. Because we don't really know each other, and I haven't watched all your vids, though quite a few. It's a lovely way to not work towards anything parasocial.
I’m so glad you mentioned not wanting to speculate too heavily on Rosie’s medical needs! I have so many issues with Acacia and her parenting for obvious reasons, but a close friend of mine as well as her now 4 year old daughter both have Alagille syndrome. It always bothers me when people blame Acacia for Rosie’s low weight when, yes it COULD be Acacia but my friends daughter is now 4 years old and still wearing age 12 month clothes, she’s also often on medication that makes her weight fluctuate drastically; it happens! Her mum is her biggest advocate, being someone with the same condition and although Acacia could be a problem, i don’t think that’s a definite… I just hate seeing people who know little to nothing about the condition make such huge claims when in reality, we know nothing. There’s so many things to call Acacia out for, but this always bothers me. Again, thank you for not going too heavy on that subject, sending you so much love during this hard time. You’re so so loved 🤍
I think there are some people who would blame acacia for her weight because she said in a blog that she & her ex went against their doctors recommendation of a feeding tube in order to try a special diet. They had her doing the special diet for quite a long time, a year at least, with no progress. Then she went into the hospital for emergency heart surgery & gained weight during the hospital stay. When the hospital stay ended, that’s when they went on the camping trip immediately
You probably won’t see this, but I am a grief/trauma therapist. I hope you have someone you can talk to about your brother. It sounds like he was deeply loved by you. Let yourself grieve when you need; there is no timeline or normal expression for this. You will find ways to honor him and his memory and it will help you heal. ❤ I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢
Awwww, Madison. I'm so incredibly sorry. You don't owe anyone an explanation, grieve however and as long as you need to, there's no rules. We'll all be here when you're ready. 🖤
I'm so sorry for your loss - I can't even imagine what you're going through. I hope you're taking time for yourself and making space for the grief to work through it. I love your work so much, but you are so much more important than content.
What acacia doesn’t say speaks louder than what she does say. Acacias lack of consideration for her own children in her explanation/non-apology video tells you all you need to know about how little she cares about her children. I just hope they are in the care of someone who actually loves them and takes care of them. She never deserved those kids and they always deserved better than the mother they got.
your loss just happened. it shows your strength. after loosing my dad I was MIA for 2.5 years.
the vulnerability you show exemplifies how STRONG and BRAVE you really are. Never let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️
Oh my goodness Madison I am so deeply sorry for your loss! The love of a sibling is one like no other. Grief is an incredible burden to bear, and you deserve to go about it in whatever way you need to. If that means it would be helpful for you to continue making videos, so be it. If that means you need to take a break from TH-cam, so be it. Your community is absolutely behind you in whatever you need to do for your well-being during this time. If you need to step away and take some personal time, I don’t think a single one of us would hold it against you or think you left us or anything. Take care of yourself, we love you, and we support you ✨💖
Glad to hear you're doing your best. Losing someone is hard. I lost my dad just over a week ago, and I'm still reeling. Nothing makes sense, nothing feels right, and nothing will ever be the same. If you have any advice for someone else who is grieving, I would be grateful to hear it.
i used to always defend acacia and her parenting when rosie was born, when creators like sloan were making tons of videos about her. i can't believe i was so invested that i looked past all the bs, the bad parenting, the neglect.. i hope her children are thriving now that they're offline. i still can't believe that park/van situation happened. it makes me feel sick to see that baby on top of a CAR with acacia nowhere in sight, not even to mention rosie being left on the blanket roadside. legitimately unbelievable. imagine being those babies and growing up to see how your childhood neglect became an internet scandal..
Not only that, but how slowly acacia was walking out of the forest. No sense of urgency she likely didn’t even see her kid on top of the roof. It’s a miracle he didn’t fall off and crack his skull open. Had she walked back any minute later that may have been the case.
@@teresitaperegrina3741 the most casual “hey what are you doing” to him as if he were playing on a jungle gym or something, you’re right when you say absolutely no urgency on her part
Omg I didnt even see the videos of her
taking him off the car :-0 Thats even more horrifying.
@@AlannaMarie
I’m sorry but how could you defend her very poor parenting of her second child? Not trying to attack you or anything just curious of how this could be. Didn’t you think it was wild how she’d dress up her oldest daughter appropriately for cold weather while her second disabled daughter wore very little?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cousin who was my best friend in the world in 2021 unexpectedly. I think, especially in the first 6 months it can be so overwhelming that it feels like you're going to get lost in that grief and you'll never make it out. You will though. And I couldn't not cry in front of my children,we were all a mess. But at night while they were sleeping I allowed myself to scream into a pillow and sob uncontrollably and lose myself in the overwhelming grief because if I didn't I would have exploded.You never stop grieving the loss but very slowly and over time you'll realize you can take a deep breath or think of a funny memory without feeling like someone is literally ripping your heart out of your chest. It does become a little more predictable, birthdays, holidays, the day you lost him. And sometimes it hits you out of nowhere and it's just as overwhelming but you get through it. There's something so tragic about not only losing someone who knows your whole life but losing someone who is young. I'm no expert on grief and it's different for everyone but I just wanted to let you know that grief can feel isolating and lonely and scary and people have a way intentionally to say things that they think are helpful but are not. I wanted to scream every time someone said "everything is okay" or "he's in a better place" because everything wasn't okay, and he died healthy at 20, his place is here. You are not alone and I'm so sorry.
The only advice I have is..When I had to go back to work and the tears were unpredictable and I worked with people, I kept chilled black coffee soaked paper towels on me and a 30 second press to (closed) eyes takes the swelling and puffiness totally away.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother - I can't even fathom how rough it must be. Take as much time as needed to grieve, we'll be around regardless. ❤
We will see her kids on the news except it will be the police searching for a missing child or finding one of them dead. I hope not but i see it coming if the courts dont step in asap. I am so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but just take it one day at a time hun. ❤ Sending you love & support 💕
Madison, my heart goes out to you. When I lost my dad, I felt that “is this real” feeling so hard as well. Please know that you are so deeply appreciated, respected, and just so inspiring with the amazing content that you obviously spend SO much time and effort to produce. Your realness, humanity, and truly caring nature comes through in all of your work. I have so enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years. Thank you so so SO much, you are proof that kind humans still do exist in this world.
Yep, felt that when I lost my dad suddenly too. Sorry for your loss and hope you’re doing ok and being kind to yourself.❤
Oof, I hope you are also doing ok. Thank you :)
thank you, I appreciate you and all the love and support greatly!!
You’re very kind for doing that for her. Even when money is tight for everyone! Bless you!
Madison, watching your videos feels like sitting down for brunch with a close friend. We are all here for you, I’m sending you so much love. take all the time you need and take care of yourself angel♥️
I am so very sorry for your loss. My brother and I are very close as well, and the thought of him or any of my friends and family leaving this earth terrifies the absolute crap out of me. It cannot be easy one bit, although I can't imagine what you're going through ❤ Sending so much love and support your way. Love you ❤
So terribly sorry for your loss and thank you so much for being so selfless through your grieving. 😭
We are so sorry for your great loss. Please don't feel pressured to do more than feels natural. Though there is ultimately healing (as a part of the process) through your passion and career built on making a better space on YT, there is a time when momentum comes back. Your healing must come first. It's not self-indulgent, but a necessity. 💐🌺🌸⚘
Take your time and make sure you're taking care of yourself. I lost a classmate last year due to suicide. Stay strong and you got this!
Thank you SO much for uploading while going through this difficult time, it truly does not go unnoticed. However, take some time to process things and grieve, we’ll still be here whenever you bless us with a new video ❤️❤️❤️
its so awful. neglect is awful- i was neglected, and there is no competition between the children and the neglect they all are experiencing simultaneously, but rosie.. its especially awful. i have a disabled older sister, and although still neglected my parents made sure she was in different therapies, groups, and activities. acacia has absolutely robbed rosie. as stated in the video, early intervention makes such a difference. where would rosie be? it’s so incredibly unfair that acacia, who was in a position to truly provide for rosie, just… didn’t, all while showing obvious distain for her. we don’t know where rosie could have been, but when living with disabilities, any little thing to make life a bit easier to live is valuable and acacia completely robbed her of so many of the “could’ve-s”
As someone with adhd and autism (medium to higher support needs, even though i am verbal most of the time and socially somewhat aware), i cannot imagine leaving a disabled child alone, seeing as i was one myself. Children with these disabilities cannot be left alone, even if they may progress later on. This child could have *easily* died. Those other kids could have been kidnapped. Id be taking away those kids if i were cps. She cant be trusted with kids. Disabled kids are so often neglected and left alone and then the worst things happen. As a disabled person, im glad to see more people calling out how shes treated her disabled baby.
Im gonna be honest here as somwone with an amazing mother who never neglected me: more parents of disabled people need to be called out for the treatment they give their kids. My fellow disabled friends were often never listened to when speaking out against parents like this. Neglect happens more often and people dont get what emotional neglect is too. So sad. I get why people on the outside are afriad to speak out but we need more people speaking up for disabled children since they cant help themselves yet, or ever.
My heart aches for your loss. I hope that those around you are providing you with the love, care, and support that you need and deserve through this. We love your videos and I have so much respect that you want to keep creating through your grief, just remember to always put your own mental health before us. We will wait and support you if you need a break at any time. 💛
11lbs at a year is INSANE! I have a naturally small baby and she is 17lbs at 11 months and she’s in the 18th percentile for weight. Like wtf!
This video is making me so angry, someone plz take Rosie away 😢
Hey, I wasn’t really sure if it was my place to share, but when I was 21 I went through an extremely similar experience and lost my brothers and I just want to say that whatever way you grieve is the right way. If that means you’re posting more than usual as a distraction, or if it means you go into a shell for a month or three or a year. Whatever you need to do to cope with this is totally understandable, as long as you’re actively processing and healing.
Never feel like you’re taking up too much space with your grief, because honestly you don’t understand what I went through with my grief, and nobody understands what you’re going through with your grief. Lean as much as you can on your support system, lean as much as you want on your supporters. You’re so strong, and you’re going to persevere to a new normal one day, but you’re allowed to be strong and in grief.
Stay strong 💕
I lost my brother 3 weeks ago and I feel like I was meant to come across this video. I’m so sorry that you are experiencing what I am right now. I have never felt a pain comparable to this. Hearing how much you loved your brother and loving each other through trauma made me feel a little less alone. So thank you for sharing your grief with us ❤
I lost my brother to a car accident a few years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's hard to get through and I appreciate you sharing your story.
dealing with a loss of such a close family member at such a young age... madison, take all the time you need to grieve and heal. i wish you nothing but the best
I felt bad for her in the beginning. I empathized with how hard it is being a solo mom. But seeing the evidence against her speaks volumes. She is clearly incapable of putting her children first, and will create whatever narrative she needs in order to support her manipulation
I'm so sorry for your loss; grief, especially from losing someone so close, can be just so, so painful, but please take as much time and distance as you need. You're not alone.
Madison, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Take your time working through your grief in whatever ways feel healing to you, regardless if it seems to makes sense or not. My heart is with you and your family.
I'd also like to say thank you for the dedication you put into your work. You're kind, compassionate, thorough, and concise. It's always appreciated. I have a lot of respect for you because of the way you present yourself and your videos and the way you carry yourself. You're always so classy and you deal with things in a way that never appears catty or dramatic. I appreciate that so much. Thanks for being awesome and for sharing that awesomeness with the social media world.
I hope you and your family can find peace in the memories you share of your brother, and that you might find comfort in the presence of one another. Your CWHM family are here for you in whatever way we can be. Whatever you need, just say the word. 🤍
you’re so incredibly strong and you’ve done more than enough for us just by sharing your art. many of us will never be able to understand your loss-me included, but please take as much time as you need, stay safe and strong❣️❣️
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. My younger brother is my world, I couldn't even imagine. I can tell you were a wonderful older sister just from the way you spoke about him. Take care of yourself, sending my love and comfort ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. My sister is the person I’ve processed a lot of our childhood and adulthood with when it comes to our parents. I can’t imagine losing her. Please take your time to grieve your loss and take care of yourself as best you can. ❤
A girl my sister went to school with used to pride herself as a “milf” then she lost custody of her daughter. She deleted all pics of her daughter and started an OF. She deletes any comments of people asking how her daughter is.
Super lame that in the "i am here to stay" apology(?) she didn't even acknowledge that she did anything wrong, even if she felt she had an excuse for it. Her not taking accountability makes me think she doesn't and won't care if anything happens. She's not actively trying to take care of her kids better imo. I don't want to assume the worst but part of me really thinks that if something bad happened to one of her kids, she would just milk it for content even if she didn't care at all.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You are a genuinely, truly absolutely pure soul, so kind, so decent, so good, a to the core good person, so its easy to imagine that your wonderful brother was as well.
Siblings can be so many things but when they are our rocks, they are our key stones, or the bedrock, the foundation, the ground on which we stand, they hold it steady for us, we hold it steady for them, we're each others anchors and strength, but also each others balloons to lift each other up.
I am just so sorry.
