Yes it’s true. I wish people that don’t want children or can’t take care of them would take into consideration the child will never get over the pain of that. And it will affect them for their whole lives. I just pray that any child in that position gets a wonderful adoptive parent or parents or grandparents or someone who loves them. Kelly’s sweet grandpa raised her. And I know she loved him but missed both of her parents, as she talked about her daddy often being in prison, and her grandfather having to take care of her. I always prayed her grandfather would somehow beat the odds and live a long and healthy life so he could be here to see her make all her milestones. I think her grandmother died before him. I know parents are not perfect but when you bring a child into the world you have to realize your needs are no longer the focus anymore, although you can still have a wonderful life, you have to sacrifice your time and attentions on your children. It is a joy also to see the world through a child’s eyes and watch them grow up, not just a sacrifice. That’s what you just concentrate on, the joy they bring you. It’s something that is very serious and if you aren’t able to give them the time and attention and patience and love and security they need, it’s better not to have them. I don’t think we should shame people either that make the wise choice not to have a child because maybe they know they aren’t cut out for that. It’s better to be a wonderful aunt or uncle or friend etc and baby sit occasionally than have a child you can’t devote yourself to. It is usually the root of all people trauma when they have had a childhood that they feel they were not loved.
My story is similar, but instead it was my father ..He fathered 5 kids ,by my mother.im the only girl. Mom and I could be sisters. Almost identical. He hates her, so since i can remember he said. "You look like her, act like her..& sound like her, I can't stand to see you or be around you." Nothing could hurt more.. im 57 ,he hasn't changed. We live 6 miles apart, my children are grown. He has never had anything to do with us. Rot in hell ,you evil bastard.we love Kelley
My wife and I could not have kids. After trying, we adopted two fantastic kids. I understand how you feel, I know our kids still have questions about their birth parents. It hurts us a tiny bit, but we get it. But keep this in mind, a lot of kids who are with their birth parents were maybe not so wanted - sometimes not at all. When you are adopted, it is by people who see the chance to raise you and love you and be a part of your life as the greatest gift in the world. It is like something my brother once told me (OK because our family is close) about the idea of family (blood family) being so important - "You get to choose your friends, you don't get to choose your family. Your friends have earned your love and trust." You were CHOSEN - not just an accident after a night at the bar. Someone said, "I want to make this child the center of my life."
I remember watching this and her performance, I cried. Have always loved her. She's gone through so much heartache. Found happiness and love and lost it. My heart breaks for her.
There is a hole in a person's heart who has been abandoned by their mother/father / or in my case both. You feel like no one loves you and everyone is out to hurt you. You think if your parents do not love you or want you no one else will. This song always brings me to tears. Kellie is a beautiful soul.
A classic performance. Kellie Pickler delivers what may be the most poignant and heartbreaking vocal of her career, and the studio orchestra does a magnificent job.
My mom was not in my life growing up. She lost custody of me when I was 6 and I went to live with her parents. I have resented her ever since. I have forgiven her for choosing drugs and partying over raising her own daughter but I still can’t forget all the times she was NOT there for me. This song has always hit so close to home for me.
It's such a shame Kellie doesn't get played on the radio anymore. I've loved her since her "Idol" days, and along with Ashley Monroe, she has stayed true to country's roots. This was a very tough performance for Kellie to get through, no doubt. I love that the audience gave her a standing ovation at the end... :(
I think the competition is real. Kellie would be a superstar if they let her. I love who she is, her voice & story. Def agree she would soar to the top if only...
For the last 18 years I’ve watched my daughter live this song everyday. Her mother has never had much to do with her. I’ve tried to be the best Dad I could and my wife is a terrific Mom to her, but she isn’t her birth Mother. That’s a void that’ll never be filled.
Yes it will. If it hasn't happened since you posted this and she and your wife have a good relationship one day you will see a light in your daughter's eyes you never thought could be possible for her stepmom. Even though I wasn't abandoned by my mom I still lost her when I was 11 to Cancer and besides my grandmother I thought I would never LOVE another woman the way I loved my birth mom. But my God-Mother who was my mom's ACE stepped and it was like I never lost my mom. When you have been hurt before but you have someone that cares for you so deeply. You try to be cautious and build a wall around your heart. Well it's been 34 years and me and my God-Mother don't miss a beat calling or video chatting with each other at least every other day. And one day she will feel that love for her NEW MOM. But she will never forget her birth mom.
@@chrishenry1128 youre welcome sweety. my little philosophy is: Step-moms are MOMS that STEP in when they dont have to but WANT and LOVE to. God-Moms are MOMS that GOD gave you that were picked by your MOM just in case anything should happen to her.
It is heartbreaking when your mother leaves you. I only have three memories of my mother and none of them are good. It hurts less now. I'm thankful that she left and couldn't hurt me more than she has
She's been through so much pain and yet again comes another tragedy in her life. I must say that I really don't understand why. My heart breaks for her.
She is so beautiful behind all the sadness in her life she has an amazing incredible sense of humor.God bless you we all love you! Your not truly alone ❤❤❤❤❤
The one thing I give Clyde pickler credit for, besides fathering Kellie, is the fact that, even though he's been in and out of prison for most of Kellie's life, he didn't step out of her life. To me, that's a man. He used his own life experiences, and shared them with his daughter. I think him and his family did a great job bringing Kellie up.
So wonderful that Kellie has a huge supportive country music family to help her through this loss of her husband in addition to her close friends and family. God bless her.
❤❤❤❤❤ I hope you come to Santa Rosa on 16 jurick wonderful country music and see Santa Rosa California at Wells Fargo Center in Santa Rosa using really beautiful senior I really love you Missy come to Santa Rosa California at Wells Fargo Center in Santa Rosa California thank you so much and God bless you God bless you keep climbing that ladder girl I love your wonderful music you are so loved in California in Santa Rosa
Omg I am so😢 heartly sorry for the loss of your dear be loved husband l heart bleeds for you. God help you in this desperate time of need God bless you always and forever more 🙏 ❤
Wonderful song and wonderful performance. Kellie should know that there are so many who can relate as the pain stays with a child into adulthood. What a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. Her grandparents did a wonderful job and best that they were there., She has been through hell and back and now her husband leaves her with more heartache. So sad. Prayers for Kellie and RIP Kyle Jacobs. Sadly, depression is not easy to deal with no matter who we are.
No she has to carry on !!! I love that woman! Her voice,. Is the best in the last 20 years !!! She has set a mark on the world ,,. I need her to stand up !
Crying right now. This Performance and Kelly's one she did on American idol for piece by piece are so sad and heartbreaking and can't imagine being abandoned by my parents. Wow. So sad. 💔💔💔
@@westwass Kelly pickler was abandoned by her mother and Kelly Clarkson was abondened by her father. Wow. And both their names Kelly and they been on American idol. Crazy coincidence.
@Josh Sheffield divorcing is not abandonment. It's an unfortunate event in any child's life, but sometimes, the parents seperating is actually a better thing than being subjected to the atmosphere, anger, stress of parents obviously not comfortable with each other any longer. Yes the children can take it hard and even blame themselves, but it's not the same as being or experiencing abandonment.
@@donaldholderdoc2910 absolutely sir sometimes divorce is better for the children as I have witnessed with my own 5 grandchildren this last year age 18 to 5 absolutely gut wrenching…but their SMILES HAVE RETURNED AND TENSION IN HOME IS GONE THANK YOU 🙏🏽 GOD
Threw all of the country singers on the cma awards sense it's been going this is my favorite I can relate to you Kellie I been their I cry for you no me every time I here you sing this song . I love you beautiful Kellie I would of a married you if I had had a chance . I'm your biggest fan n always will be . Your beautiful inside n out in everyway . We have such big hearts when you grow up like we did. Smile honey cause your beautiful n me n god love you . More than you could ever lnow
I love this song, I cry everytime I hear it. Too bad for her mom, she must be kicking herself in her behind now! Good for you Kellie, you were strong enough to move on. Love you also. X0x
I've LOVED this girl since I saw her on American Idol. Feel like we've watched her grow up since and felt every part of that emotional performance. So incredible!
One of the most heart felf songs and performances I've ever heard or seen, just brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Ms Kellie Pickler, you have won my heart. You are so beautiful and precious, God bless you! Sending healing hugs and kisses ❤
A song for us motherless daughters, who know a certain, particular strain of a legacy of loss. I still get chills and tears listening to, watching, and singing this song in 2024. ❤
She has a lot nicer words to say about her abusive mother than I do. Despite what she did, I am graduating from USC in May with my bachelor’s degree and will be a lawyer.
Kellie Pickler is a great country muisian, I actually got to meet her in person , I watched the movie Christmas at Graceland with her in it she did a awesome job in that movie
Its amazing that she sang this song in regards to her mother leaving an not in her life..she is a very beautiful woman Kelly you don't need a mother like her..
What a poised, raw and emotional performance. So proud of you for singing your truth, even though it hurts. You are helping others with your song. God bless ya sis.
I was workin a job this mornin that had a lot of dust. My contacts have been bothering me all day. I have removed and rinsed them twice, to no avail. Suddenly, I watched this video because it came up in my feed, and my contacts are clean as a whistle. Thank you Kellie. You are the best.
I’ve cried a bucket of tears over this performance at least a million times. God knows I miss my Momma and I wish I could heal every little child’s heart that was broken by a parent. We’re all just human and that’s our disease. 😢
I haven’t seen my father since I was 11 I had a great family besides that sadness I will say I have teenage daughter and I love her and she knows me mission accomplished that is all you can do as a parent
What a truly amazing woman you are Miss Pickler wearing your heart on your sleeve is heart warming !! My father elected not to be in my life so may mother had to do both the best she could,I had support from my Aunts and uncles as well as neighborhood friends fathers who help guide me but the man who taught me was my grandfather !! I’m sorry you had this happen but look at you now and the woman you have become !! I am now in my 60’s this is what I used to say about him !! If you only know what you missed out on loser you’d be shocked !! It took me a long time to convince my self it was nothing I did he was just a deadbeat dad and it was his loss not to be in my life !! Love your beautiful heart and voice Miss Pickler congratulations and continue on your path !!
This is how I feel about my father I cry when I hear this because my father never wanted to have anything to do with me. He even went to the same church but never acknowledged me
I watched this live and it was awesome with true emotions. She is a real jewel and a beautiful human being. I watch this video from time to time to come back to earth.
maybe the best last line of a song ever
She should still be relevant today. Not fair only a chosen few keep in the lime light!
She so deserves the fame and money, but not the heartaches and hope she finds happiness
I will never forget this song, I cried and still do when I hear it.
When a parent breaks a child's heart. It never fully heals. God Bless.
Absolutely. This beautiful woman shares her story beautiful and strong.

Nope. Never does
"when I look in the mirror and all I see are your brown eyes looking back at me" - This line hit this adopted child hard.

Yes, you clearly are a freak.
NC lost a treasure when she left.
I still LOVE HER.
I agree.
So TRUE
LOVE OUR SOUTHERN CAROLINA GIRLS.
Easily one of the best performances the CMA's ever had. It was real and she meant it. Kellie deserved better and Country radio did her wrong.
I agree!
I remember watching this and her performance, I cried. Have always loved her. She's gone through so much heartache. Found happiness and love and lost it. My heart breaks for her.
That girl poured her entire heart and soul into this song and she never disappoints...I wish she was still on the radio...
One of the most emotional and honest country songs I have ever heard in my life!
Amen brother!
Awesome, poured her heart out on this one…
Her mom abandoned her. Now her husband. STAY STRONG KELLIE. I'm praying for your strength.
Amen.☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
Not in the same way as her mom but I can’t even imagine..
Her husband isnt with her ? I dont folloe her. But i thought everything was going all ok😢

This song brought tears to my eyes.She poured her heart out in the song but yet kept it going. She is a gem. Most deserving of the Horizon award.
That broke my heart. I'm going to call my mom right now and tell her how much I love her. Poor Kellie. 😔
Unforgettable performance with the the most raw emotions displayed, yet with grace and real hurt.... You go Kelly👍
A classic performance. Kellie Pickler delivers what may be the most poignant and heartbreaking vocal of her career, and the studio orchestra does a magnificent job.
