    Wow. This did not get easier watching this two years later. But I am glad to say I now have 8 years clean off that crap.
    I know this song is one of which documents Nathan’s tragic childhood, and it’s never easy to watch and hear someone going through this much pain.
    After he just put out “Mama” he finally was able to find it in his heart ♥️ and his soul to give his Mama that forgiveness he swore he could not at the time he put this out. I can’t say that I blame him either.
    That should show us all how much he has grown. Forgiveness is never easy…But we all have to do it for ourselves.
    Sorry if I made you guys cry here. I cried again too. It’s absolutely impossible not to shed some tears with this song.
    I hope each and every one of you got something out of this video. I have no issues with sharing my stories with you guys for the mere simple fact, I want someone to use my story as a reference, or platform to get help.
    Know this. If I can do this, so can you.
    Much love to all who come watch this video. I’ll come back from time to time to remind myself why I stay clean.
    ❤️ Jen

      As a former addict myself (originally cleaned up in 2010, relapsed in 2016 and have now been clean since 2017) I want to thank you for putting out these videos. My sister passed away in 2018 from heroin and watching you in this video made me think of her two little kids and the mother that they will never get to know. Her youngest, being a baby when she passed, will have no memories of his mother, which is heartbreaking. It is stories and videos like this that continue to keep me sober, no matter how strong the urges get at times. So thank you.

    I have to stress something. I said I gave up drugs when my oldest was 10. But when I found out I was pregnant with him, I got clean. Only then when he was a year and a half, did I pick the cocaine back up. When I finally got away from his father (a very abusive man) when he was 3 did I start going hard on everything I could get my hands on. I know it’s no excuse, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I didn’t use while pregnant, nor was he born addicted to anything. Sorry for having to clarify after the fact.

    My son showed my this video 4 years ago when I was at the very bottom of a 15 year opiate addiction. It effected me so profoundly that it was the push that made me finally seek treatment. I could see and hear all of my children's pain in Nates eyes and voice. He may not been able to save his mom but he saved me and I will be eternally greatful. I've been clean and a fan ever since. I still can't watch this without crying every time. NF us a prophet please keep reacting to his songs everyone of them has a message 🙏 😔💔

      With all addictions you have to wanna, or you're never gonna. My splash of reality happened when I looked at bruise on my love's cheek and asked what happened. She said *YOU!* I didn't remember anything I did that night, being too drunk. Something else took over. I was sleeping, but my body was still up and moving around. That was my push to stop the alcohol.

I know my mom loved me and I know my mom was a slave to her addiction. I'm so glad you got clean and your babies will never experience what Nate and I have. It's messed me up for life and clearly has hurt Nate deeply as well.

    I have watched this music video no less than 30 times. And yet, I cry my eyes out every time. Thankfully, my mother and father are happy and healthy. However. My older brother battled, and ultimately failed with his addictions, as well as depression. He took his own life when I was 21. None of my children ever had a chance to meet their amazing, intelligent, hilarious uncle. Every milestone. Every moment in time that I want to celebrate, I wonder. How could you leave us? How could you miss this???
    NF is truly an amazing artist.

    What an incredible overlay to an already intense and tragic tune. I can’t imagine the challenges and heartbreak. Jen your heartbreaking honesty is beyond reproach but in a positive way your testimony helps to make everyone a bit stronger, resolute and determined. We draw from your strength. A masterpiece reaction.

    Damn ,the pain in all that.Sometimes you have to open up the wounds again for it to heal.My brother died in a car accident.He was drinking.He left behind six kids and a wife.He tried to free himself from booze but he kept going back to it.He was my best friend.It broke me for a while but I never returned to the drugs and booze.I guess he was hurting really bad on some level.It causes desolation.Everybody hurts.It"s the one thing we all share.Peace.

    Thank you Jen for sharing you emotions so open in this video, and you message toward the end towards parents with addiction was really really strong, i don't know anything about you but seeing you be so open and be so incredibly stong for your kids remind me or someone in my life. You are an amazing mother and thank you for sharing this with us.

    I admire and respect you for saving your own life. We all have someone close to us that has been affected by addictions. This song is so jam packed with raw pain and sorrow. It would be impossible to witness it and not be torn apart. Stay strong Sis. You matter.

    This is truly inspiring. I don’t think NF can understand the side of addiction on how hard it is to quit, but as a kid you can’t understand it. I admire that you were able to get clean and stay clean that’s amazing that you have stay strong and I’ll def be sending good positive vibes your way!

    I’m so glad your son was able to get through to you. My brother is an addict and has been in many programs and even several years in jail, but still refuses to stay in AA or NA and our relationship is very poor bc he’s always lying to me even when he doesn’t have to. Loved your honest reaction and candor-so glad you’re doing well now!!

    Thank you for turning your life around and being there for your children no ones perfect even though we may want to think we can be. You gave your kids the love they deserved and you survived it to keep loving them. No one is proud of their mistakes but you learn from them and grow from them. NF has a way of touching people’s hearts and relating to every person in some way. Just keep going forward and love those kids more and more.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story! My parents have both been Alcoholics for as long as I can remember and I have had lots of conversations with my own mother about my fear of her dying due to her addiction. Watching someone go through addiction is horrible and its one of the hardest things to get out of.
    I have two kids of my own now and I have sworn to never let my kids experience what I did.
    Finally so proud of your sobriety! Keep on, keepin on!

    While my heart was melting for the pain you were suffering watching this Jen, the irony was not lost on me either.
    The only reason I got to share your hurt, reacting to someone else's hurt, was because of your STRENGTH !!
    You made a call in 2014, you pulled yourself up from a dark and painful place and you started the healing.
    You may be small in stature, but you are immensely strong in spirit, you would not be here and sharing your light and strength with us now, if you weren't.
    So much respect for you and where you are now in life.
    Your warmth and empathy is palpable, you probably have no idea how many people you have helped save themselves.
    Keep shining that light and laughing that laugh, you are inspirational.
    😊😊❤

    I’ve watched so many reactions to this and still can’t watch it without crying.
    My mom was an addict to multiple things throughout my life. She passed away last year right after my 26th birthday. She was only 44.
    Surprisingly she didn’t overdose, her heart randomly gave out when she was home alone.
    My siblings were always so angry towards her which killed her. Especially because they’re younger. I always tried to avoid making her feel guilty or bad about it cause I was so scared she’d get upset and end up overdoing it.
    I’m so glad you were able to get yourself out of that. Fist time I’ve seen any of your videos, subscribed immediately.

    • @JustJenReacts
      @JustJenReacts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First off I wish I could hug you. I’m so sorry for the loss of your momma 😔 that broke my heart when i read that. You’re an amazing soul, keep being beautiful. And know that your momma is at peace now. Struggling with addiction is just too hard for some ppl. I know it’s hard, but you have to allow your siblings to be mad at her. You just have to pray for them that that anger will subside one day. Much love, Jen

  • @courtneysharp518
    @courtneysharp518 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are so real and we def need more of you and people explaining and opening up about these issues. Myself grew up with most family on pills and cocaine and idk what it was til I was a freshman I never realized what was going on. Seeing my mom falling asleep to burning food at 2am. It got to the point to where I would let her sleep on the ground where she put herself and just gave her a pillow because of the arguments that would come of it. I've only experienced alcoholism about a year ago from all my personal problems and traumas as a child and young adult. Put myself in a stabilization unit and got help. Thank you so much and now I can focus on me and my son with hope and confidence. Thank you. ❤🤘
