Right ts is so terrible parents literally ruin there childrens eye with some of the worst trauma a child can experience and they even care in the moment. Just so irresponsible and selfish on so many levels. I'm happy the Internet exist so those kids can feel less alone in their trauma
Her interviews were one of the most impactful ones for me like I felt her sadness and her desperation to just be loved as a child totally could relate. I hope she’s at peace now still brings tears to my eyes.
Well said. I related to that, too, still at 64 years old. Went thru hell and made so many bad chores. I can say that I've finally found peace and love myself. Faith in God and sobriety helps enormously. I pray that she has found self-worth, forgiveness and strength to love herself better ❤
This interview made me cry. How sad her childhood was, leading to anger and rage, and a need to somehow quell the ongoing pain. Hugging her at the end is what I think all of us in your audience wanted to do, Mark, so thank you for having given her some comfort.
I had a narcissistic mother, I always thought we were dirt poor. Never asked for anything. Wore the same clothes day after day. Was told to change under wear 1 time a week. I was on my own, permiscuous, looking for someone but not knowing the ones that actually loved me. Got pregnant and married the father of the baby. He was an idiot. He died , life got better without him.Then my mother was old. I was the youngest. I was left to take care of her. I found a mother . She actually started to care about what I said. Btw, she left over a million in money. If she just spent a little of that on us as kids, we wouldn’t be so angry, I don’t know the word, but if I just had clean clothes then, I would have better self esteem.
I read your story and it's like I read the story about my life. It's rough, I keep falling, but I'm still here hanging on. I don't know what my purpose is. God Bless
Similar to mine. My mom financially abused me for 25yrs. As a 45 yr old man this weekend I finally put together a letter that im no longer supporting her. 25 yrs and at least 500k in lifetime earnings given. The money is half the equation the other important part is I never lived the potential I was supposed too and I don't trust women at all because the 2 people that took the most in life was my mom and ex wife so I avoid any interaction with women as possible. Life is good though healthy, successful etc and don't mind living alone in solace and working the land once retire.
Another heartbreaking story. 💔 Being sold to someone when you are 12 years old. Some people should NEVER be parents. RIP Niqi. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Im going to rehab for the first time ever in a few weeks for alcohol. Im nervous but more excited for whats to come. These videos give me hope ❤ R.I.P. Niqi ❤
You got this. Your nervous feelings are valid, it’s uncomfortable to start with. But the excitement is even more valid. My life sober has been the most amazing transformation.
I find myself very often thinking of her. Her 2 videos impacted me far more than anything else in internet. I wish you peace and light Niqi, wherever you are.
That was the most informative and honest confessional I've see of yours. Just so heartbreaking. I wish educational and rehab facilities would make this video a part of their core curriculum. I'm so sad to hear of her passing. What a great loss of such a special human. If only society had stepped in sooner. Imagine the wisdom she could have taught as a therapist councilor had she had the opportunity?
When she identifies anger as the soul route of her problems, is the moment my heart breaks. A sure indicator of her humility and failures. This woman speaks in truth. The air is potent with hardship and sacrifice. A light from within her moves the emotions of many, perhaps an indicator purpose. RIP Niqi
I can so relate to dysfunction, that you don't realize it until decades later. My heart breaks for her since my recovery is so different now. RIP Niqi.
saw this when it was posted previously. Her story made an impact on me and I think about her from time and again. She is a good storyteller...very sad. I hope she is doing better.....
Her early life is almost identical to mine 😢 You finishing your education and getting your GED is successful, don't keep putting your self down. (Doesn't matter where it was done) Usually the smartest people and the biggest heart's turn to drugs/alcohol because we're too vulnerable.
I listen to her and feel the pain she’s in. My sister is 45 and has 6 months to live. She’s dying from liver failure due to alcoholism. She was stabbed 9 times by her baby father when she was 16. I know my sisters in so much emotional pain, but hearing Niqi makes me realize just how deep it is. My sister had a hard life and sometimes she tells my daughter, I just want to ‘ sleep’ already! I really hope Niqi found the peace she needed before leaving this earth.😥😢😢
I don't know why teachers even ask parents if there's something going on at home that's causing a kid to act out - its like, duh. You're asking the person who's most likely the root of the problem. Are they ever going to say, yeah, I think it's because I suck as a human being?
This video stood out to me so much. (I’m 23) I have been struggling with alcohol dependence for some time now off and on..I’ve been one month sober but alcohol is still always on my mind it’s hard to break free emotionally and mentally as well…I can relate to her when she said she self sabotages, has her guard up, and that something inside her says she isn’t worthy of success that hit my heart because I can relate wether it’s with friendships..relationships..life..it’s hard to feel connected to society and people it’s easier to push them away..this lady is worthy of happiness and success Thank you for this interview ✨ may you rest in peace
Thanks Mark for giving her a big hug.. God bless you for your compassion.. We need more love and compassion in this world.. Niqi had a very endearing personality. RIP 🙏
Rest in peace beautiful Niqi. You are beautiful. My beautiful sister passed away from the same disease on 1/7/2022…terrible disease. She had just turned 52.
@@bayoubabe6698 Thank you for caring. She passed in front of her children 15 and 17. My niece went into her room to ask if she could visit her friend in Florida over summer vacation. She was alive 10 minutes before that encounter. She wanted jello. So sad for her kids. Two rehabs……alcoholism is terrible.
This interview, and I've seen every single one of them, Mark. This lady stands out for me, been though situations most people notcould not even imagine. Her strength of character is outstanding, her light burns bright. Her talent and her genuine pure love her children stands out as a legacy and a testament of her soul. My life has also been blighted by alcohol the 'go to drug ' my beautiful daughter Karis took her own life and I have to live with that torment every day every single second. I have managed to kick the horrible drug of alcohol, which literally turns you into a monster underneath the lost child stays there, waiting to have it's hand held. Soft white underbelly should be played in schools, the wealth of knowledge and insight would save so so many lives.......Nikki was an angel, rest in peace lovely lady, you did not die in vain...
I read that Niqi passed away from a drug overdose after having been to rehab and living sober. It didn’t list her date of death. 🙏 It’s such a tragedy. Niqi was intelligent, well spoken and stayed on track about her life & growing up. In this interview she is being real. Now Niqi can sing with the Angels and Rest in Peace ♥️🙏♥️
@@AllsWell77, I clicked on the “More…” on the intro, where there is another link…I watched it too but wasn’t sure which was the 1st interview or the 2nd that I watched. Just never saw a date of death. Sorry.
Mark!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...help Niqi. The world needs her. When Niqi said that we need more advocates...Niqi is 100% an advocate that the world NEEDS! Please and thank you...also, please, if you can, let Niqi know that she is beautiful and wonderful and that her interview helped me and touched me and awakened me. I have been a full blown alcoholic in my days and I have my masters in social work, but I haven't drank for 7 years now but I haven't done anything with it and Niqi put a fire under my but to finally go out and be that advocate that the world needs. Thank you Mark for bringing Niqi into my life.
This interview is overwhelming! She deserves to have a good life! I hope she can change her life! But sometimes I think with addiction, if they can’t do it, they need to be forced! It’s very dangerous to stop alcohol cold turkey!
Grandma was a rock of the family, but Niqi you were and still are a rock. You are a smart, beautiful young woman, you deserve all the good this world can offer. God bless you.
I really like the outro listing all the places we can donate to. Maybe I'm late to the party, but I don't recall if every video ends like this one. Love your work, Mark❤😊
Poor lady... She had a really rough life.. She never had a chance.. It's truly amazing how these people could ruin there children's lives And really don't even give a care in the world... God bless you
This line have me goozebumps ' what happens when you get a bunch whole of people who have made mistakes, you trade each other 's mistakes, and you become a better criminal" Happens in mental institutos too, so identified, so well said! ❤
I think I need to tell my mom today how thankful I am for parents that made sure us kids were brought up in a safe, clean, loving environment. We had food, clothes, our own bedrooms, birthday parties, etc. The fact that us kids just expected this, that it was normal shows how dumb and in a bubble we were. I wish I would have listened to their advice when I got older. Would have saved me from a disastrous marriage. Bless this lady, I feel her pain. May she rest in peace.
Niqi has a beautiful soul, that lives on. I am very sad to hear she has left the physical world. In years past, I once was annoyed when ppl could not say someone died, but after losing a number of ppl over these many years, I feel their souls-presence live on. They have transitioned. Beautiful hug at the end. Mark is a true mensch🦋
Words don't even come to mind to express or convey the utter brokenness of this woman. My heart just breaks hearing stories like these because they're so relatable in one way or another. You've either experienced this yourself or know someone who has. But no matter how deep your pain's roots grow, while there is life, there is hope. We must all strive to love one another in this world. Love is the cure. She broke when Mark asked what she could say to her kids because they were her purest source of love in her life.
One of my most favourite interviews. 🙏🏽 Niqi you went way too soon and I hope you are now resting in peace. I just want to cry listening to you. 😪 You didn’t deserve any of the bad things that happened to you. No more pain now my sweet Niqi. 🤗🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️🤗. 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦
Wow I am sorry that she lost her life RIP beautiful soul her video is the only video I actually watched all the way through it’s just something about her
Saw that Interview back in 2020,this is especially sad because I believed she got away with Mark's help! She changed her environment which is essential to get out of this lifestyle! She went through a lot... Rip Nikki 😢
I feel like I seen this lady on beyond scared straight somehow. I'm glad she telling her story for all the women who were little girls like her ♥️♥️ much love Niqi
Thank you SWU. Incredible powerful question at the end and now, sadly with her passing, even more so with Niqi's response. Such a sweet soul tortured :(
It’s soo hard to watch as someone that struggled with alcohol abuse for years and going through dt I feel her pain on every level :/ to anyone that is trying to quit or is thinking about quitting u can do it it’s never to late good bless ❤️
This woman has been resilient from age 9, looking after her siblings, to the age of 12yrs old when her Mum sold her for a bag of shit! She is an alcoholic, but through everything she has endured, why wouldn’t she be?, she has a beautiful soul and you can hear that when she talks about her own children, how she breaks her heart just talking about them, to the people she see’s struggling on the streets, and she is also a part of that lifestyle. I truly hope she can get through this addiction and somehow get to reunite with her children. She has shown she has the strength and the smarts, if only she could believe in herself 🙌
I felt her pain, her struggles, her addiction..... I was addicted to drugs, so I very well know the struggle..... Fighting your Demons is rough, but you try and stay away from the Toxic Environment...... R.I.P. Lovely 💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹
Nah this one destroyed me Mark. The most heartbreaking one. From one Nikki to another Niqi- I feel your pain and wish so much I could have helped you before you passed. My heart is broken over this one. Mark how can we help these amazing souls that you interview? I want to make a difference - these are my people.
Big hugs to you Niqi. What happened to you as a child was not right. Sadly horrible things like that happen to too many of us when we are children. Sending prayers to you for strength and for Gods hand to reach down and help you find a way out of this storm and back to a life you feel comfortable with that will also connect you back with your kids.
When she talks about not being able to hang out with normal kids for long that reminds me of a chick I was with in my late teens. She had a rough upbringing and home life and just gravitated toward the wrong crowds. Tried to show her a normal life with my normal friends but she just couldn’t do it. It was too foreign. She was just into a grimier scene with other broken people and drama. It’s like there had to be chaos.
Its very sad, that this poor woman had so much low self esteem, that she didn't realize, that she deserved a better life, and more compassionate people around her like Mark. Her parents ruined her! Sometimes, people are so down on themselves, that they become hopeless, and just give up. I think Niqi's problems were just too hard to bear. Plus the guilt about her kids, put the cherry on the cake. Maybe she thought, they were better off without her. Very tragic. 😔🌹💐🙏🙏
Her story is heart breaking. Wish I could hug her and tell her everything is gonna be ok! She is so correct about a mother the one single person who should be there for you! Makes me grateful I have my mom, she did have my back no matter what. The countless times she helped me at my lowest . I almost die from booze a few times.. at some points not being able to function with drinking in the morning and continuing all day. Seizures, puking all day sometime and having work myself up to drink more and my body would force it back up. All that feeling broken mentally , I let my depression and anxiety get the best of me. Now I’m clean and much happier. I used to think the whole notice of that was pure bullshit. But I was so wrong. I still have anxiety I deal with it. At the end when she talks about We need more out reach groups !! She is so right about having a counselor who has really been through extreme things. I would love to be able to help people like that.
DONT feel bad girl I feel you. I never graduated ran away with a now murder and did not GED till 29. Three kids beaten and tore up drugs. Went to college 2 yrs been in the field since 1996. Still struggling, but worked hard saved 90,000 over my life. Have a house , but still have it tough❤ Alcoholic father and un emotional mom 😢
I like you, Niqi. Keep going. I got sober 15 years ago. There’s real joy and healing around the corner after the pain. Go towards the appreciation and trust and away from resentment and fear. It’s mental/emotional poison.
Rest in eternal peace and serenity Niqi. If nothing could be done for her life to be turned all the way around, I kinda wish she had passed sooner & not go through all the hell she went through, if this makes any sense, I don't know....😞
I've been sober almost 2 years after struggling with alcoholism since the age of 12. It's so hard dealing with the impact abuse and neglect.we don't know how to be happy or cope so we seek pleasure. Pleasure in food, sex, drugs, and alcohol etc. I'm happy I finally found a way and I hope anyone struggling finds their way. It's possible.
Every time I hear a child say they were sold ( their body) by a parent, my heart literally aches. Your parents are suppose to protect you.
Absolutely agree,
Right ts is so terrible parents literally ruin there childrens eye with some of the worst trauma a child can experience and they even care in the moment. Just so irresponsible and selfish on so many levels. I'm happy the Internet exist so those kids can feel less alone in their trauma
There are people who should never have children.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s pure evil.
She had tears on her face when the video STARTED. God bless this soul.

I agree
The word “LOVE “ is mentioned 310 times in the New Testament!!
@@normc4603 That's not a lot considering there are 185,000 words in the new testament
We need more programs that are positive for these kids! It is heartbreaking thinking it’s going on as I type this.
I had a narcissistic mother, I always thought we were dirt poor. Never asked for anything. Wore the same clothes day after day. Was told to change under wear 1 time a week. I was on my own, permiscuous, looking for someone but not knowing the ones that actually loved me. Got pregnant and married the father of the baby. He was an idiot.

I believe your life story as it is similar to mine. I hope you are doing well now.
What a horrible person she was.
Similar to mine. My mom financially abused me for 25yrs. As a 45 yr old man this weekend I finally put together a letter that im no longer supporting her. 25 yrs and at least 500k in lifetime earnings given. The money is half the equation the other important part is I never lived the potential I was supposed too and I don't trust women at all because the 2 people that took the most in life was my mom and ex wife so I avoid any interaction with women as possible. Life is good though healthy, successful etc and don't mind living alone in solace and working the land once retire.

She passed away a while ago. So sad
@@samcait yes I know ty
Niqi has a beautiful soul, that lives on. I am very sad to hear she has left the physical world.
In years past, I once was annoyed when ppl could not say someone died, but after losing a number of ppl over these many years, I feel their souls-presence live on. They have transitioned.
Beautiful hug at the end. Mark is a true mensch🦋
I am so sorry for all your pain. Rest in peace, sweetheart! 🙏🏼
Thanks for another interesting video mark , watching from Scotland 🏴 xxxx
❤❤❤❤ As sad as this is, to know Niki is now passed resting in peace ☮️ is much kinder than living in this much pain . 💓💖🫶🏻🙏Fifi
This made me cry. Niqi, dont ever give up. I pray you'll find the love you are looking for
She passed away
Words don't even come to mind to express or convey the utter brokenness of this woman. My heart just breaks hearing stories like these because they're so relatable in one way or another. You've either experienced this yourself or know someone who has. But no matter how deep your pain's roots grow, while there is life, there is hope. We must all strive to love one another in this world. Love is the cure. She broke when Mark asked what she could say to her kids because they were her purest source of love in her life.
One of my most favourite interviews. 🙏🏽 Niqi you went way too soon and I hope you are now resting in peace. I just want to cry listening to you. 😪 You didn’t deserve any of the bad things that happened to you. No more pain now my sweet Niqi. 🤗🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️🤗. 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦
Wow I am sorry that she lost her life RIP beautiful soul her video is the only video I actually watched all the way through it’s just something about her
This interview is old she has passed away. RIP🕊🕊🕊
Very sad
It says so in the description genius.
. Not everyone reads the description. Stop being mean
Saw that Interview back in 2020,this is especially sad because I believed she got away with Mark's help! She changed her environment which is essential to get out of this lifestyle! She went through a lot... Rip Nikki 😢
I remember her interview so sad #RIP
This interview hit really hard for me ❤
Me too
I feel like I seen this lady on beyond scared straight somehow. I'm glad she telling her story for all the women who were little girls like her ♥️♥️ much love Niqi
Rip😢
👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you SWU. Incredible powerful question at the end and now, sadly with her passing, even more so with Niqi's response. Such a sweet soul tortured :(
It’s soo hard to watch as someone that struggled with alcohol abuse for years and going through dt I feel her pain on every level :/ to anyone that is trying to quit or is thinking about quitting u can do it it’s never to late good bless ❤️
This woman has been resilient from age 9, looking after her siblings, to the age of 12yrs old when her Mum sold her for a bag of shit! She is an alcoholic, but through everything she has endured, why wouldn’t she be?, she has a beautiful soul and you can hear that when she talks about her own children, how she breaks her heart just talking about them, to the people she see’s struggling on the streets, and she is also a part of that lifestyle. I truly hope she can get through this addiction and somehow get to reunite with her children. She has shown she has the strength and the smarts, if only she could believe in herself 🙌
See the info in the description box under the video. This is a repost from 2020; she has since passed away.
Mark, bless you'r heart i cried at the end when you, hugged her. Bless you
I felt her pain, her struggles, her addiction..... I was addicted to drugs, so I very well know the struggle..... Fighting your Demons is rough, but you try and stay away from the Toxic Environment......
R.I.P. Lovely 💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹
Nah this one destroyed me Mark. The most heartbreaking one. From one Nikki to another Niqi- I feel your pain and wish so much I could have helped you before you passed. My heart is broken over this one. Mark how can we help these amazing souls that you interview? I want to make a difference - these are my people.
I really thought she’d get out….Hearing that she passed away shocked me…. 😢🙏
So innocent and treated so horribly. Unspeakable. She has a sweet soul.
Big hugs to you Niqi. What happened to you as a child was not right. Sadly horrible things like that happen to too many of us when we are children. Sending prayers to you for strength and for Gods hand to reach down and help you find a way out of this storm and back to a life you feel comfortable with that will also connect you back with your kids.
I cried listening to her interview because I can resonate with it so much.
She was supposed to be getting it together. My heart. I had hope. I hope she is at peace. You're killing me, Mark. I hope you are doing well.
She needed that hug. I hope Queen can get back on her feet and get her babies back.🙏🏾
She passed away💔
This was so so sad , poor woman having to grow up in all this abuse god bless her 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mark that hug at the end was so needed ❤👏
Such A Touching Lady. My Heart Bleeds For Her 💔💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
When she talks about not being able to hang out with normal kids for long that reminds me of a chick I was with in my late teens. She had a rough upbringing and home life and just gravitated toward the wrong crowds. Tried to show her a normal life with my normal friends but she just couldn’t do it. It was too foreign. She was just into a grimier scene with other broken people and drama. It’s like there had to be chaos.
We all failed you Niqi - Rest in peace Queen. ❤
The government & politicians and the money grabbing system failed her. Not us. Politicians all over the world are failing us all.
Rest in peace Niqi 💕
At the end when he hugged her - oh my heart ❤
Its very sad, that this poor woman had so much low self esteem, that she didn't realize, that she deserved a better life, and more compassionate people around her like Mark. Her parents ruined her! Sometimes, people are so down on themselves, that they become hopeless, and just give up. I think Niqi's problems were just too hard to bear. Plus the guilt about her kids, put the cherry on the cake. Maybe she thought, they were better off without her. Very tragic. 😔🌹💐🙏🙏
Thank you for being so real
Your story is helping me get the stregnyh to face my trauma
Good bless you❤❤❤
I love this woman. She’s as real as it gets.
I swear I’ve seen her up here before ; Soo sad that getting help isn’t an option for her.. prayers for her babies 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I felt her pain so deeply.. she has a warrior soul ❤ all you can do is keep going ❤
Rest in peace such a beautiful soul ❤
Her story is heart breaking. Wish I could hug her and tell her everything is gonna be ok! She is so correct about a mother the one single person who should be there for you! Makes me grateful I have my mom, she did have my back no matter what. The countless times she helped me at my lowest .
I almost die from booze a few times.. at some points not being able to function with drinking in the morning and continuing all day. Seizures, puking all day sometime and having work myself up to drink more and my body would force it back up.
All that feeling broken mentally , I let my depression and anxiety get the best of me. Now I’m clean and much happier. I used to think the whole notice of that was pure bullshit. But I was so wrong. I still have anxiety I deal with it.
At the end when she talks about
We need more out reach groups !! She is so right about having a counselor who has really been through extreme things. I would love to be able to help people like that.
28:46 she describes Skidrow and kinda how society is in a dark way 😞✌🏻
This was deeply upsetting and moving the 1st time. I feel her pain still. This time with Mark was truly special
DONT feel bad girl I feel you. I never graduated ran away with a now murder and did not GED till 29. Three kids beaten and tore up drugs. Went to college 2 yrs been in the field since 1996. Still struggling, but worked hard saved 90,000 over my life. Have a house , but still have it tough❤ Alcoholic father and un emotional mom 😢
This was so painful to watch!! You are amazing!!❤️
I like you, Niqi. Keep going. I got sober 15 years ago. There’s real joy and healing around the corner after the pain. Go towards the appreciation and trust and away from resentment and fear. It’s mental/emotional poison.
Rest in eternal peace and serenity Niqi. If nothing could be done for her life to be turned all the way around, I kinda wish she had passed sooner & not go through all the hell she went through, if this makes any sense, I don't know....😞
I've been sober almost 2 years after struggling with alcoholism since the age of 12. It's so hard dealing with the impact abuse and neglect.we don't know how to be happy or cope so we seek pleasure. Pleasure in food, sex, drugs, and alcohol etc. I'm happy I finally found a way and I hope anyone struggling finds their way. It's possible.
