What is so incredibly sad is how many kids these drug addicts bring into this world. Poor children start off behind the eight ball and so many end up just like the parent.
I've been on both sides of the street , addict & not an addict for the last 30 years , it's not that non addict's don't like or love addict's , it's that when you're high you don't care about others so it's the addict that neglects the other people. Find happiness caring about others , not the dope , make love your drug , you can do it.
Totally true. An addict who loves others would not put people through the pain they cause. They say they want to be loved, but define it as being enabled in various ways. So sad, but so manipulative to use the L-word in this context.
Jody, I remember you well from Canton ga. Haters can hate but lovers can love. I pray for the best for you my friend. I can only imagine the strength it took for you to make this video. My own son recently overcame his addictions
Giving her baby sister a shot of heroin is a horrible thing to do. I don't understand her thought process behind that. That's dark and a narcissistic thing to do to a loved one.. fark, that blew my mind
I was addicted to opiate pain pills for years and got cut off and I was sick as a dog.. My big sister and her old man gave me my first line of heroin 9 years ago I snorted that lil line and I was off to the races I immediately became addicted cause I already was addicted to prks roxis and morphine.. I been going to a methadone clinic everyday for 2yrs so I'm not completely sober I've slipped up a few times and was still pissing fentanyl every month for a year and a half I'm 6 months clean except for smoking alot of weed.. I pray for you and anyone else who is addicted to find peace happiness and sobriety 😿🙏
@@borobinson7005 I wish you the best in your continued recovery Now, I don’t know if you hold some resentment towards your sister for giving you that first dose of heroin, but in her defence, she probably believed she was doing the ‘right thing’ or the ‘helpful’ thing at the time. Since you were already addicted to opiates, she probably didn’t realize that the heroin would take you to a whole other level of addiction. She thought she was helping you not be sick And since she was an addict at the time as well, she probably wasn’t able to make the best decisions herself at the time
She has no idea how almost impossible it is for us (family of drug abusers) to just "love them and be there for them no matter what". We are being silently killed inside by these people and lines have told be drawn.
@@mollyswanner1607 I pray for you and your family it seems even as my son was clean and sober at the time of the accident, I too worried daily. Addictions are evil and thieves that rob the addict and the family whether alive or not. It’s a horrible disease for all.
@@JamesSmith-e4v you can suck it. If you are so able to love addicts you have not been paying their bills, been afraid of them and for them when they are f'd up, or run to the hospital after they have overdosed. You did not give birth to them no matter what you may think. You are in their world in some capacity. F you.
I’ve noticed so so so many hate comments. As a child born into a family of addicts, I have a lot of understanding love and compassion for these people. Being an addict myself I have seen BOTH sides! These people hate themselves enough there is no need to call this person a narcissist…drugs are a demon that no one can understand unless you yourself have been there!!!!
@@ryan2971 narcissist is a very very common term thrown around when in fact it is something way deeper this person may be dumb to certain emotions but is in no way a narcissist and I can absolutely confirm this having 6 years of physiological studies under my belt
@@zodiac_killer3449 bro you’re just making up experience. Physiological study would refer to the function of the human body referring to how parts of the human body interact with eachother. You have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about
@@zodiac_killer3449 she talked about shooting up her little sister with heroin like it was no big deal and acted like everything was someone else’s fault if there’s any indication of someone being a narcissist that’s it
@@ryan2971 a common trauma response is reciting something traumatic EVEN if they were the one doing it like a robot as for the blame it’s is hard for an addict to take responsibility they get blinded
On the other side, you can’t be well when you believe your birth was the reason for your parents’ horrific marriage and the choices her brother, sister and boyfriend made.
Having a broken childhood can either make the person stronger or weak, most of the time weak. It's less blaiming and realising you are fucked up because of what happened to you
@@Silverwidows This. Thank you. 8/10 of us go on to repeat what was done to us, the other 2 go on and do better, but all 10 are fucked up and in pain in so many ways. For me to say I’m strong would be the truth, but I’ll never be ok.
At a certain point in life you have to take responsibility for yourself. Maybe you had a shitty childhood but after you become an adult you have the ability to change your life and love how you want. You are responsible for you. No excuses, especially after 20 to 30 years.. some people just never get that 🤷
I am reading the comments so far and all I can see is people falling for the blame this lady puts on everyone around her. The choices she has made as an adult. The choices she continues to make. And that’s how I remember my mother. Addiction first, everything and everyone else at fault, and people she should have cared about falling behind. People in here would have fallen for my mother’s stories too. It’s sad, for everyone involved. Her mouth is talking the talk, but she ain’t doing the walk.
🤔 text book Narcissis 💀. always playing the victim, never excepting responsibility - I mean when the boyfriends mom slapped you in the hospital and said you killed him you Kinda really did 💀💀
I typically make it about a third of the way thru these videos. The heavy alcoholics, maybe 30 seconds. They are just so plum burned out of all their energy, they don’t have enough left to push their lips out of the way. Some people find themselves more bored with this world than others. Some suffer more. Some seem quite content and happy. Sobriety doesn’t necessarily provide that happiness. I can just expose the boredom more fully sometimes. Just the way it is.
true i recently relapsed and i absolutely resent the person who introduced me to them and would never ever do that to anyone knowing how addictive and destructive they are.
Girl, you can get help, and you can know happiness by facing and forgiving. But only if you surrender to a program and follow it. We get to the point where we think we know better, but our minds are so sick because of the trauma…I believe in you.
Wow! Great interview. Thank you Jody for sharing your story experience & being honest. Truly some people do have a lot of bad circumstances maybe to make you stronger.
She asks how you can be happy sober and the answer isnt as complicated as they make it seem. You find happiness through healing, it creeps in. You cant tell me you have happiness while using...so all you have to GAIN IS HAPPINESS. AND in sobriety, it presents in many forms. You find happiness getting to restart your life and rebuild relationships, in getting to know yourself and participating in the things you missed out on. You find happiness through finding purpose and setting and achieving goals (whatever they may be). You find happiness through gratitude. Just the fact knowing you're now in control and not chained to a substance brings happiness. You find it by healing and doing the work you gotta do. By establishing and living by the values you want to live by and probably couldn't before. Addicts love scaring themselves out of things and want everything all at once. You'll find happiness by living One day at a time, patience. When you're sober and doing the work for real...everything comes little by little and happiness is included in that. Just no using isnt recovery, theres more to it which includes healing and being the best version of yourself. When you're in recovery, you no longer let fear and shame dictate your life and that brings happiness. Everything builds. You make small goals and work towards them. If you keep at it you'll learn the value of a dollar and rebuild your finances, you'll make amends on your relationships...make new ones and rebuild old ones. You'll identify things important to you, new passions, career goals and slowly work towards them. You cant complicate it by making shit up that hasn't happened yet, trying to live all at once, making excuses or your own version of things that aren't real, and so on. Happiness is a journey with levels and experiences just like life. It isnt a static thing. If you work on your relationship and understanding of it, it will come. Happiness is fluid, some moments are happier than others and its OK to not always be happy. It's how you learn to cope, reflect, build skills and deal. The happiest people I know have certain qualities...mostly they have lots of gratitude and they're living in line with their values every day. Good luck to you and all those struggling. Recovery is possible, is do able, and you can have an amazing life. And...DESERVE IT!
Bravo. Beautifully said. Happiness is not getting high or getting whatever thing or pleasure you want in the moment. Happiness can also be the ability to tolerate unhappiness without using, not needing a boyfriend, or knowing that you are giving your children what you may not have been given.
She seems so lonely. I hope she finds help and some real friends. I hope she comes back to say she's on a better path and will have a completely different second half of a long life. It's never too late to enter a new life with awareness and self-kindness.
A very honest account of her life, no bs. Wisdom comes after suffering and I really hope you realize your worth. You have so much to offer others, I wish you all the best Jodie.
Such sadness in your face. Please be careful with that fentanyl. It killed my ex daughter-in-law in 2022. Lots of us was dealt a shitty hand. Love yourself enough to get and stay clean. My son is finally clean(hopefully) after a 20 year addiction.
Also, keep in mind, she is here to show and tell the darker side , where she sees that things went wrong , so, don’t be surprised to see a lot of what looks like blaming other people and situations, and telling things as if there’s no feeling, when she’s really just trying to get through the interview.
@E-bike Autonomy Why do you say that? This is her story. Her pain! Do you think it's easy to go through what she's been going through? Growing up like that ruin people.
@@leneo1731 And we don’t know the full story. There was more to her childhood than her parents fighting. It had to be Horrible for her brother to want to kill his father. She gave us no details. Like her feelings. Did the parents only verbally fight? Or was the mother physically assaulted? What about the kids? Were they beat up? There’s so much more to that part of her story. Plus the fact her birth was blamed as the reason for the parents misery. Heartbreaking. 💔💔💔
@@leneo1731 Ya sucks she had shit parents boo who! I have a friend who watched his own father stab his mum to death in front of him at 12 years old lol this is a victim's story and this is nothing compared to what I have lived through. You do government drugs, it's your own choice...
No one can make you feel a certain way about yourself without your permission. You have to be and are responsible for what you feel. I assume some of these feelings of inadequacy stem from a childhood that wasn't ideal. I hope you find your worth, Jodie, and that you can get clean and live your best life. God bless.
not true. maybe you think your so "conscious" that you can be unbothered by peoples interactions with you but its inevitable that people influence how you feel. people that say otherwise do that to cover up their pain caused by others. they think they can live unaffected by being 'unattached'. so the question is why do you want to be unaffected rather than feel emotions which are what make us human
@@theeskatelife It's true you have emotions, but if someone told me I was a dumb, pink clown, I can choose to be bothered by it or know that it's not true. If you have confidence in yourself, you don't let those words bother you. I won't argue with you over this, because some people just won't get it. Know that God loves you, and that's really what's important. He sees value in you and wants you to see the value in yourself. I hope you do.
No matter how confident you think you are. When someone you love, she said she thought he "walked on water", tells you day in and day out how stupid you are, belittles you and God knows what else. He was doing something to her, to make her think she was crazy, I mean to end up in a mental institution for two weeks. Anyhow when someone treats you like that, and unless you have been in that situation, you don't have any idea what it feels like to be in that situation. If you hear it enough, you start to believe it....and she's stuck in Alaska, it's a beautiful place but so isolating. Even the most self confident person, I believe, can be worn down after so long. I hope she can find happiness sober, but she will have to forgive herself first of all, and that's a hard thing to do. So good luck Jodie, I'll be praying for you.
@@Bookiebaby17 I understand what you are saying, but if someone is confident in who they are (healthy), they would hopefully realize the toxic behavior of the other person who tries to belittle them. I would then hope that they would remove themselves from the situation. I don't remember this interview at this point, so maybe this is easier said than done. I have been at the end of negative interactions, but I admit it probably wasn't to this extent. I have, however, had a very difficult time in my life where I did feel like a nobody, and that's exactly what taught me the lesson I learned and tried to share here.
Chick sounds like my mom: its always someone elses fault. Which is why my mom and this woman are still on their BS and at the end of the day - care about no one but themselves.
Dont judge a book by its cover. On the outside, youd never guess this lady had all this going on her life. Its astounding she looks as well as she does in all honesty. There are clean living women who I work with who are likely younger than what Jody is who look in a poorer way. Luck and genetics i guess. Shes been around so much misery and death that it seems to have almost numbed her. She seems to be able to talk about these harrowing subjects without any emotion or feeling. Like her senses have just become dulled to the trauma now. Like its almost just normal for her.
Pretty much all addicts have one thing in common: severe childhood trauma. I don't think I've ever met an addict that was raised in a healthy and loving household.
Many people on this channel that grew up in a great household STILL chose to use drugs, so not all childhood trauma. I will say that childhood trauma is most likely the reason I used many years ago, just wanted to feel numb...
thats just not true. of course many do. but just as much are normal people that fell into addiction as well through injuries etc. i come from a great family no trauma and i had my battle with addiction. not all addicts are these broken beaten people.
I had the best childhood you could probably ask for, like fantastic parents and friends and support and hobbies and love, still got addicted to fet for years, I quit eventually and I’m good now but it can happen to literally anybody, I just happened to be arrogant and think I could out smart dope, but there’s no exception to the rule… if you do enough of an opiate your body will in fact become physically dependent and existing as a functional member of society is no longer possible without getting drugs first, or getting real and stopping
@@PoppinFresh1 Right, it affects everyone equally! We tend to think we can control something and then before you know it, we are turned upside down! Keep staying clean and thank God we are both still here...
Such a beautiful lady. To just see her, a person would never imagine she was into the things she spoke of. It's a shame what she will look like in probably a very short time if she continues her lifestyle. I wish her the best in life.
I think she's really good at make up cus if she's been on this stuff that long idk her age but almost all of us deteriorate pretty bad by 35 in a active use lifestyle
I'm shocked by how she said "I gave my sister a shot and she died on me, but we brought her back to life" and then just glossed over it like it was nothing. Like she was talking about the weather. That was disturbing 😳
Americans who are addicted can thank big pharmaceutical companies and their doctors for this, doctors knew how addictive opioids would be before they prescribed them🌸
Do you feel like that about chronic pain patients? There is a legitimate use to keep people out of chronic pain and having functional lives. It's not all or nothing.
@Environmental Coffeehouse i DO believe this about chronic pain patients. There isn't multi- million dollar lawsuits against the pharmaceutical companies for no reason. There are many alternatives to overmedicating people for profit. There are surely times wheres opioid medication is necessary, but not in the high doses and amounts that they were handing out like skittles to people.
@@susanherbst3319 What I’m saying is that there were pain medications before opioids came on the market, people need go back to using those medications to avoid addiction.
I have a hard time with this one, not even wanting to get clean, all these excuses and blaming the ex husband for taking their child, with her background… I don’t believe her, honestly. She seems full of blame to him but glosses over what her part was. Fentanyl killed my brother in law and I saw 10 years of agony he put his parents, siblings and kids through. Lying, stealing, vicious words, false promises and his kids saw it all. My in laws have custody since the mom chooses drugs still. I just wanted to say too, I believe addiction is a choice. I am sure plenty of people will disagree but I have lived and loved closely to addicts of several types of vices and it's a choice daily.
Addiction isn't a choice in that sense. It is incredible difficult to get clean and stay clean, otherwise people would all do it. Some people do but it takes a lot of support, the right types of therapy and the will from the person themselves.
At first it's a choice, yes, when you first start using, but after you become addicted \depependant, it's not a choice anymore it re wires your brain so that you need it to survive, just like you need water. But yes the responsibility is theirs. It's a hard thing to over come but it is possible. And it's getting easier everyday for addicts to make the choice to get clean. So many more resources now days.
TRUST AND BELIEVE that her child wasnt taken by the father cause she was doing the right things! The only reason he got the child is because she was a crappy mother and he luckily won the lotto of the court system...
Yep..my ex got on meth threatened to kill me and the kids via texts over 100 times I got custody and a 5 yr restringing order these ppl are never Held accountable for what they do and blame others
My daughters "Mother" and "Her Mothers Boyfriend" died in April! Somebody sold them some cocaine cut with fentanyl and they ODed together. My daughter is emotionally DEVASTATED by this. They were both only 45 years old! Her Mother died 2 days before my daughters 19th birthday. The last month has been really tough
Bruh, I’m so sorry. I have actually been there too. My son’s mom liked herself cause she just couldn’t get clean. Just be there for your kiddo. And get to therapy. Together.
Right.. narcissism is definitely one of her highs … the way she mentions how ppl died due to her bad influence, it’s as if she’s reading a play.. I hate when ppl cater to these dope Fiens that traumatize their children with their bad choices and their refusal to get help n stay clean… I’m the one that’s helped these children out her who r hurting, it’s real f’d up out here😔
I’m sorry because I usually feel bad for the people in these interviews but I can’t find sympathy for her. Not only has she screwed up her life, she almost is flippant about the people who have been destroyed as a result of her addictions. My dad was physically and mentally abusive and I chose to rise above it. At some point as an adult you have to take responsibility for your own actions. She needs to get her shit together.
Your opinion is your right, but it reflects that you don't understand or haven't had the same experience, even if you had that experience, but you're putting her down for your sanity. You and her experienced similar EVENTS. That part is fine. We aren't watching American Idol. Mental illness and addiction are everywhere. A lot of people experience severe losses. Your comment was gross We can all be respectful. I'm sorry what happened to you as well, and I hope your heart heals.
@@Nessa_1990 Thanks for the lesson but I didn’t say nor imply that I was watching American Idol. I do understand, trust me. If you put your story on the internet then someone will comment. I respect your opinion and I would ask the same in return. I’m a regular viewer who usually cries when I hear the struggles these people face. She just unnerves me to my core. In Ohio, if you are found complicit in the death of someone due to an overdose you can face prison time. Again, trust me when I tell you that I have my reasons for feeling the way that I do. If that is “gross” then I will take it.
Jodie reminds me of my daughter. Learn to love yourself Jodie and forgive yourself for what you did because that isn't who you are. Try to accept your mother's love. It's hard. Very hard.
24:06 grieving the loss of a child who is still alive, breathing and walking this Earth is the most heart breaking thing that I have ever experienced. 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
You can be clean and stay clean trust me I did it and do it daily. After 14 yrs off n on mostly on. Go to rehab follow the process have patience a lot of it love yourself and know that life is extremely better when you are grateful everyday. That alone will keep you clean if you try. Trust me life is beautiful. You can do it
@jimbofischa Are YOU high? Oh wait no you're just a sociopath scrolling down the comments trying to dump on people because well, you're a defect. Ironic because that's what you hate about them yet it's what you are.
Then get your sht together. You can't bring back someone that's actually dead. You can earn your way back into people's lives if you quit your BS. Source: addict that's been clean for years now. Quit fu*kin coddling these people. It's why they continue to be sht heads.
She would have stayed with her mom, because her mom married a millionaire, and that would have benefited her the most, in retrospect. She reminds me of my sister. If they don't confer her any benefit, they are dead to her. She comes out with money values a lot, and my sister swoops in to situations and grabs all she can, then leaves. Someone had to tell me once, "Concentrate on what you do have, rather than what you don't have." She looks around at what everyone else has and compares herself. That's going to make anyone sad and depressed.
this woman 100% has some sociopathic/narcassistic traits within her. She looks at everything from a logical perspective (never emotions), talks herself up like how shes pretty and how she's smart and how she chooses to do the thing things she does not because she cant control herself but to prove something to others and she seems to have no remorse for anything she's done (especially the deaths of the ppl around her). I can't be the only one who sees this
Unfortunately people are so stupid that think being pretty equals to having more possibilities to being a regular human being than someone who’s less attractive.
You know. I don't believe her. 9-10 days up bullshit. Fucked up out of her mind but graduated from pharmacy school? Pathological liar 4 yr old brother was driven enough to pour gasoline around her sleeping father to kill him GTFOH!😡
I wondered the same thing. The part where she chooses to be a junky, so she can show the world that you can still have your teeth, looks, fit in anywhere, be smart(?)etc. I almost erupted into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. No accountability for (5 children and was it 2 or 3 deaths?). If you see this woman, ignore her good looks and run. A real life succubus folks. Sheesh! What a load!!!
The story about the 1st kid/Alaska. Gotta be more to the story. Says was sober, leave it to beaver life ect.. If so, there is no way US custody courts cutting mom completely out of the picture.
Sober people aren’t always happy. We just get through those times without substances. You can be like that too. You did it for two years and you know you want it so please do it I’m rooting for you
As a chronic pain sufferer who has seen so many people with real pain issues be treated like addicts because they need opioids to just get the hell out of bed, this makes me sick. I am so sick of people like this who decided to take opioids with no damn pain, I am clicking out. People like this piss me off. They are what is contributing to a major portion of the opioid problem yet we all are being lumped in with them due to an agenda being pushed.
Amen..I'm in palliative care hospice..(in my home )..since I am not ready to yet enter a hospice facility I am not allowed pain medicine...I suffer every day because of people like her...
As someone in chronic pain I disagree. I blame the pharmaceutical companies (and those that have facilitated their power aka lobbyists and politicians), the greedy doctors who helped create the problem, the CDC for guidelines that resulted in gross negligence and knee jerk reactions amongst providers leaving those with chronic pain to fend for themselves and the current providers for continuing to perpetuate the stigma and not treating pain appropriately despite having the autonomy to do so. Leaving people to suffer in chronic pain is unacceptable and shouldn't be happening period.
I know for a fact that many people in chronic pain who don’t have options other than being on pain medication it is because of Doctors who chose to give out pain medication to people who are NOT in chronic pain just had a short term issue yet Doctors chose to give prescriptions out like crazy so then the Government came down hard core, changed the laws, regulations and so forth which makes it much more challenging to get pain medication prescriptions and the Doctors, pharmacies and every day people put the blame on chronic pain suffers instead of holding Doctors accountable for giving out pain medication far too often for patients who should not have been prescribed opioids because their pain is not chronic. This is a really big issue and what accrual started people being so judgmental, also the media lying about what Doctors did and do by giving opioids to patients that are not in chronic pain. Sadly people who are NOT in chronic pain do not understand nor do most pain management Doctors anymore because Doctors who we should be able to trust screwed everybody by giving out opioids to patients who are addicts and not in chronic pain. Also some pharmacies and Doctors started stealing opioids for their own use. There are many different factors involved. I do agree people are judgmental when the hear anybody is prescribed opioids. Most Doctors are forcing patients that suffer with chronic pain off opioids because of all these factors. I had breast cancer and my Doctors screwed up my surgery which caused me to be in chronic severe pain and there is no way to correct the damage and chronic pain I suffer with. So I basically am forced to take opioids to manage the severe pain I am in 24/7. Yet my Doctors are making me take less and my pain level is so bad I feel like I want to die. I struggle to get through every second and the Doctors will cut off my prescriptions so I will be forced to suffer in insane pain. It pisses me off too. I never wanted to be stuck in severe chronic pain or have to take pain medication in the first place. My Doctors don’t care. They are doing what our government is telling them to do is get patients off opioids all together.
I was on opiates for like 5 years and I did heroin like a gentleman. I never stole or committed crimes and only lied when I had to but eventually the desire to do that sort of just left me. Not all addicts are bad people some are just conflicted and isolated they don't need to scheme on others.
@ebullientbronco9859 yea my story with addiction is very much the exception, I had a lot of red lines I wouldn't cross that other people didn't. Still nearly ruined my life though and almost killed me twice.
Some people just don’t get that it’s the drugs/alcohol that lead to problems after problems to the hell hole of misery. Once I got clean and sober from substances life took a 180 for the best. I feel so lucky that I had a shred of self preservation left in my soul to save my own self.
This girl's story just broke my heart she's such a good person she's carrying a lot of guilt around Mark you have a way of getting these people to feel comfortable enough to tell a story like that I admire you so so much thank you thank you for sharing these stories I wish her all the luck❤❤❤
Jodie, it broke my heart to see this. I’m so sorry for what you have gone through. You truly are a beautiful person inside and out and I’m praying for you to find peace.
She and I have the same story as far as her first husband and Isaiah. My first husband was a narcissist that mentally and verbally abused me for all but 4 years of our marriage and we had one child together. After I finally got enough courage to leave him, my son was slowly and methodically turned against me and it has been 5 years since I’ve seen him.
One thing I will never understand is why addicts are able to have so many children and there’s women who would make phenomenal mothers that can’t have even one. It’s so unfair.
She is expressing all of the signs of someone who doesn’t have a conscious, and has homicidal traits to her behavior. She has an excuse for everything. “My mom, she made me feel, my dad” etc…. Then the sheer amount of people who have died around this woman is scary.
her husband 'put her in a mental institution so he could get an honorable discharge"... What does that even mean? I don't doubt she's a drug addict, she's obviously high. But man, the delusions.
@matteframe he got her committed so he could get their baby and he would have an honorable d/c so he could get out without it being let out on a bad note if this makes any sense to you,, it's kinda hard to explain
@@rachelrae860 people just don’t understand. Having a father that beats your mother. It’s something that unless you have had it happen. Quiet… the amount of rage u conceal as a child is insane.
When I watch these, it reminds me of doomer Sam when he says don't have kids. Most of the people that are dysfunctional should never have children. I don't understand why they do. It's one of the most selfish acts you can do.
All the situations that she was going through were because of drugs. She is not ready to stop. It’s her life. Praying she gets counseling and detox. The pain of getting sober ends. Using pain never stops. I speak from life experience. 🙏
8:18 Errr how about your son that probably still thinks about you 10 times a day?!? Pretty sure he loves his mum. Poor kid, I hope he turns out ok and doesn't miss his mum so mum that he replicates her (as so often people do- turn into the parent they idolise/ resent)
I knew as soon as she said, I grew up in a very loving family. It appeared.!! Yes, maybe to the outside world ! This lovely lady is lucky to be alive and as healthy and as beautiful as she is
I’m on suboxone and it saves a lot of lives if you really want it. I would stay away from methadone that is brutal coming off I’m sure you know that. I’ll be praying for you. You got this
@@Disorderly_mama if she took it for 2 or 3 days she will not withdrawal at all. Opiates stay in your system for 3 days and she could easily get off everything after taking subs for that long. I’ve done it multiple times that way.
MAN IF THIS WOMAN CAN GET ON FENTANYL ANYONE CAN. SHE STILL KEEPS HER HAIR COLOR IN GOOD CONDITION SO SHE IS AWARE OF HERSELF. I PRAY SHE GETS HER ACT TOGETHER....
I am like Mark who has never done drugs and just interested in all of this information because human beings are so interesting. When I was growing up my parents parents became alcoholics over time and all I remember is us constantly taking care of them and bring them back to normal conditions after a long spree of drinking nonstop. Well, watching all of that I became disgusted and back then I knew I never want to be like them. That’s the question that is constantly popping in my head if you grew up with parents whose been using why why do you make a conscious decision not only to do it to yourself but also have kids and do it to them
@@domovancan the more stories i listen to, the more excuses like that I hear. I am sorry I don’t buy it. Unlike this one story of the old lady whose mother gave her drugs and left on the street at three years old. Especially after being clean for years to go back. It is a choice that an individual is making. Everyone is looking for fun and an easy way-out until deep into addiction.
Jodie, I just want to tell you that when you are raised with parents that gave conditional love then you have adopted that mindset to yourself. Instead, you just need humility. Finding that it is only human to error. Most of the time people use pride as a crutch in this area. So judging someone is a type of supply to people that have only grown up with conditional love upbringings. Please love yourself. Even if you did all of that to me, seeing how much you care about what you did especially, would allow me and humble person to WANT to forgive you. True humility is knowing that I can and will make mistakes in the future. I believe that this world we are brought into, is a place of learning. You have a good heart deep down and I believe you know that so please just be humbled by what you did and learn from your mistakes.

Thats the thing dad didnt take him for selfish reasons. Selfish is to think u have a right to ur child when u have put drugs as ur priority over that child
Does she think she's the only person that has faced this kind of adversities?? Plenty of people pick themselves up and don't give their little sister herion shots
@@reethomas7632 We really don't know, do we? But it almost doesn't matter if she is lying about some things (and addicts DO lie for myriad reasons). What matters is she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and commit to rehab because she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and...
You are a brave, strong, and amazing young woman. Please give yourself a gift of counseling to heal. There is so much for you to accomplish. I am so sorry your life was such hell for you and your siblings.
12:29 I overdosed on heroin/fentanyl. April 13, 2021.. stayed clean for a year and a half and now I'm back stuck on this stupid shit. I hate myself. I want to get clean soooooooo bad. I would love to speak with you Jodie. Omg our kids are SAME AGE. Minus the baby you adopted out. Our lives are so similar. I want to help you I feel like you could help me as well. I will forever think about you Jodie. 😭❤️
Noticed she said she was pregnant with twins when the boyfriend she gave Xanax to died, but didn't mention twins when she said her kids' ages rather she mentioned it was a secret mixed baby she had and adopted out... Idk story seemed inconsistent.
I’ve been dependent on morphine for 12 years now. I’ve never looked to get messed up on them only to relieve severe pain. It trueky makes me wonder. Why do some get addicted mentally always needing more?
I think they also use it just to not get sick because they were once prescribed it and then cut off,ect. They dont feel the "messed up" either but when they stop, as with anyone, they cant. Not all addicts are like this but the functioning are. I think it can evolve into stronger drugs when they cant find what they were originally on.
What spoke to Me was the talk about methadone. I currently take methadone and it's taken everything from Me. I seriously hate life and constantly think about ending it. To be alive and be so dead to the world is so miserable.
I'm so so so sorry I hope you start to feel better about yourself & life really soon. Your life is worth you living for. You can get off methadone to. If you want to you just have to try ..I'm praying for u and I pray that your ok today. Please let us know how u are right now ..my name is Christy and your comment really broke my heart ❤️ 😢
I can easily understand her story. For anyone judging her, you shouldn’t comment. Unless you have fallen into this horrible world, your self righteous comments aren’t helping anyone….except maybe yourself? “Look how good I am!! I would never do this!!” No one thinks they will end up in this place. All I’m saying is please have a tiny amount of compassion. That compassion might be not hitting the “send” button before reading the comment you’re about to send.
I tell you what, the US and Mexico missed a big opportunity to steer cartels back towards heroin when the cartel screwed up and kidnapped 4 Americans and killed 2 in a mistaken identity hit. The cartel thought they were Haitian cartel, because they’ve been operating there. Anyway, they cartel realized how bad they F’d up that they gave up their own men trying to appease the US. If the US was smart and didn’t stick to this same old BS ‘War On Drugs’ tactics theg could’ve thought outside the box and used the pressure the cartel was feeling to get them to smuggle heroin instead of fentanyl. If the the government laid off let them a bit, letting them operate and profit with heroin while targeting fentanyl smugglers, other cartel would get the message and make the switch. It is impossible to stop drug smuggling into the U.S., all you can do is try to incentivize the more responsible smugglers. If they could get them to smuggle heroin again instead of fentanyl that save 10’s of thousands of lives a year in the US alone.
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 Just like your edge lord username and trash "rap" videos. Lol sheesh how much of a defect are you? We got it you won't ever mean anything to anyone and should probably join the statistics.
Another example of early drug use leading to an endless dead end. I hope that her children don't end up like this and that they grow up in a healthy, loving environment and have a good childhood. In any case, this woman, who, among other things, injected her little sister with heroin, should be happy that the children are not growing up with her.
I’m a product of two addicted parents. Mom - crustal merh & alcohol & my dad heroin & alcohol. My Mom has been through a similar life as this interviewee. I wish I had a platform for her to tell her eventful life story.
Easier listening to Jodie than that poor bastard previously- alcohol ruins your comprehension. But Jodie, seriously you can blame your parents for 28 years - after that it’s your responsibility to get your life together…
She didn't cry once. She barely even came close. That's sad, she had something to cry about. Maybe she came from a "I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!!!" family.
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 I think this lady may be an example of why it may not be fantastic in some respects. Your username however, is fantastic and for that sir, I award you my internet points for the day :)
I really respect how you never interrupt the interviewee and just let them speak.
That's not true
He does with Mr Rebecca.......
What is so incredibly sad is how many kids these drug addicts bring into this world. Poor children start off behind the eight ball and so many end up just like the parent.
💯
So true. And the sane people have fewer or none at all. Not good for America’s Future.
Start off behind the eight ball and end up smoking a eight ball.
People she's a victim. We need draconian drug laws.
Yeah bc the war on drugs is super effective and accomplishes so much. Lol
I've been on both sides of the street , addict & not an addict for the last 30 years , it's not that non addict's don't like or love addict's , it's that when you're high you don't care about others so it's the addict that neglects the other people.
Find happiness caring about others , not the dope , make love your drug , you can do it.
Well she did everything 😂😂😂 what a druggy
Totally true. An addict who loves others would not put people through the pain they cause. They say they want to be loved, but define it as being enabled in various ways. So sad, but so manipulative to use the L-word in this context.
Jody, I remember you well from Canton ga. Haters can hate but lovers can love. I pray for the best for you my friend. I can only imagine the strength it took for you to make this video. My own son recently overcame his addictions
Sweet, kindness is the best ❤
Giving her baby sister a shot of heroin is a horrible thing to do. I don't understand her thought process behind that. That's dark and a narcissistic thing to do to a loved one.. fark, that blew my mind
💯
When you do drugs, you want to be around other people doing drugs. Guess she was just trying to get everyone and their mother on it.
Well, there's a lot of sick, twisted, selfish people in this world. You can't be TOO surprised, right??
I was addicted to opiate pain pills for years and got cut off and I was sick as a dog.. My big sister and her old man gave me my first line of heroin 9 years ago I snorted that lil line and I was off to the races I immediately became addicted cause I already was addicted to prks roxis and morphine.. I been going to a methadone clinic everyday for 2yrs so I'm not completely sober I've slipped up a few times and was still pissing fentanyl every month for a year and a half I'm 6 months clean except for smoking alot of weed.. I pray for you and anyone else who is addicted to find peace happiness and sobriety 😿🙏
@@borobinson7005 I wish you the best in your continued recovery
Now, I don’t know if you hold some resentment towards your sister for giving you that first dose of heroin, but in her defence, she probably believed she was doing the ‘right thing’ or the ‘helpful’ thing at the time. Since you were already addicted to opiates, she probably didn’t realize that the heroin would take you to a whole other level of addiction. She thought she was helping you not be sick
And since she was an addict at the time as well, she probably wasn’t able to make the best decisions herself at the time
She has no idea how almost impossible it is for us (family of drug abusers) to just "love them and be there for them no matter what". We are being silently killed inside by these people and lines have told be drawn.
Absolutely! My son was an addict. My heart is shattered as he and his girlfriend were killed in a motorcycle accident.
@@nojudgementherewithtishross I am so sorry. I live with this worry daily.
@@mollyswanner1607 I pray for you and your family it seems even as my son was clean and sober at the time of the accident, I too worried daily. Addictions are evil and thieves that rob the addict and the family whether alive or not. It’s a horrible disease for all.
Way to make it about yourself….personally, I don’t have a problem loving addicts.
@@JamesSmith-e4v you can suck it. If you are so able to love addicts you have not been paying their bills, been afraid of them and for them when they are f'd up, or run to the hospital after they have overdosed. You did not give birth to them no matter what you may think. You are in their world in some capacity. F you.
Never judge a book by its cover. She looks like a regular soccer mom.
Most busted soccer mom lol how insulting to the Karen’s 💀
Yep looks like but doesn't sound like.
and if you look like her. Nobody is gonna feel sorry for you.
Wtf kind of soccer moms are you hanging out with? Good lord.
Maybe a shot out soccer mom at best
I’ve noticed so so so many hate comments. As a child born into a family of addicts, I have a lot of understanding love and compassion for these people. Being an addict myself I have seen BOTH sides! These people hate themselves enough there is no need to call this person a narcissist…drugs are a demon that no one can understand unless you yourself have been there!!!!
She’s definitely also a narcissist
@@ryan2971 narcissist is a very very common term thrown around when in fact it is something way deeper this person may be dumb to certain emotions but is in no way a narcissist and I can absolutely confirm this having 6 years of physiological studies under my belt
@@zodiac_killer3449 bro you’re just making up experience. Physiological study would refer to the function of the human body referring to how parts of the human body interact with eachother. You have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about
@@zodiac_killer3449 she talked about shooting up her little sister with heroin like it was no big deal and acted like everything was someone else’s fault if there’s any indication of someone being a narcissist that’s it
@@ryan2971 a common trauma response is reciting something traumatic EVEN if they were the one doing it like a robot as for the blame it’s is hard for an addict to take responsibility they get blinded
Always blaming someone else for your addiction is what a true addict always does. She’ll never get clean blaming others for her addiction.
On the other side, you can’t be well when you believe your birth was the reason for your parents’ horrific marriage and the choices her brother, sister and boyfriend made.
Having a broken childhood can either make the person stronger or weak, most of the time weak. It's less blaiming and realising you are fucked up because of what happened to you
@@Silverwidows This. Thank you. 8/10 of us go on to repeat what was done to us, the other 2 go on and do better, but all 10 are fucked up and in pain in so many ways. For me to say I’m strong would be the truth, but I’ll never be ok.
At a certain point in life you have to take responsibility for yourself. Maybe you had a shitty childhood but after you become an adult you have the ability to change your life and love how you want. You are responsible for you. No excuses, especially after 20 to 30 years.. some people just never get that 🤷
She blamed herself for alot of stuff brothers death and others death
It's time to take responsibility for your actions. You're an adult & you have a choice. To use or not to use.
If it was that simple we wouldn’t have this epidemic.
If it was that simple "to not use" nobody would be addicts.
My mother is like this woman. My brother, I, and her grandchild (everything) comes second to the addiction.
I am reading the comments so far and all I can see is people falling for the blame this lady puts on everyone around her. The choices she has made as an adult. The choices she continues to make.
And that’s how I remember my mother. Addiction first, everything and everyone else at fault, and people she should have cared about falling behind. People in here would have fallen for my mother’s stories too. It’s sad, for everyone involved. Her mouth is talking the talk, but she ain’t doing the walk.
🤔 text book Narcissis 💀. always playing the victim, never excepting responsibility - I mean when the boyfriends mom slapped you in the hospital and said you killed him you Kinda really did 💀💀
Her story is so powerful, it’s one that deals heavily with forgiveness
I typically make it about a third of the way thru these videos. The heavy alcoholics, maybe 30 seconds. They are just so plum burned out of all their energy, they don’t have enough left to push their lips out of the way. Some people find themselves more bored with this world than others. Some suffer more. Some seem quite content and happy. Sobriety doesn’t necessarily provide that happiness. I can just expose the boredom more fully sometimes. Just the way it is.
Lady STOP giving others drugs!!!! You do you they don’t need your help to die.
Most accurate & truthful comment here!
true i recently relapsed and i absolutely resent the person who introduced me to them and would never ever do that to anyone knowing how addictive and destructive they are.
Girl, you can get help, and you can know happiness by facing and forgiving. But only if you surrender to a program and follow it. We get to the point where we think we know better, but our minds are so sick because of the trauma…I believe in you.
Wow! Great interview. Thank you Jody for sharing your story experience & being honest. Truly some people do have a lot of bad circumstances maybe to make you stronger.
She asks how you can be happy sober and the answer isnt as complicated as they make it seem. You find happiness through healing, it creeps in. You cant tell me you have happiness while using...so all you have to GAIN IS HAPPINESS.
AND in sobriety, it presents in many forms. You find happiness getting to restart your life and rebuild relationships, in getting to know yourself and participating in the things you missed out on. You find happiness through finding purpose and setting and achieving goals (whatever they may be). You find happiness through gratitude. Just the fact knowing you're now in control and not chained to a substance brings happiness.
You find it by healing and doing the work you gotta do. By establishing and living by the values you want to live by and probably couldn't before.
Addicts love scaring themselves out of things and want everything all at once. You'll find happiness by living One day at a time, patience. When you're sober and doing the work for real...everything comes little by little and happiness is included in that. Just no using isnt recovery, theres more to it which includes healing and being the best version of yourself. When you're in recovery, you no longer let fear and shame dictate your life and that brings happiness. Everything builds. You make small goals and work towards them. If you keep at it you'll learn the value of a dollar and rebuild your finances, you'll make amends on your relationships...make new ones and rebuild old ones. You'll identify things important to you, new passions, career goals and slowly work towards them. You cant complicate it by making shit up that hasn't happened yet, trying to live all at once, making excuses or your own version of things that aren't real, and so on.
Happiness is a journey with levels and experiences just like life. It isnt a static thing. If you work on your relationship and understanding of it, it will come. Happiness is fluid, some moments are happier than others and its OK to not always be happy. It's how you learn to cope, reflect, build skills and deal. The happiest people I know have certain qualities...mostly they have lots of gratitude and they're living in line with their values every day.
Good luck to you and all those struggling. Recovery is possible, is do able, and you can have an amazing life. And...DESERVE IT!
Perfectly said
So well said.
Bravo. Beautifully said. Happiness is not getting high or getting whatever thing or pleasure you want in the moment. Happiness can also be the ability to tolerate unhappiness without using, not needing a boyfriend, or knowing that you are giving your children what you may not have been given.
She seems so lonely. I hope she finds help and some real friends. I hope she comes back to say she's on a better path and will have a completely different second half of a long life. It's never too late to enter a new life with awareness and self-kindness.
I love this comment ❤ couldn't have said it better
Yess much Love and Respect ❤️❤️
If she got sorted out, she could make a lovely girlfriend or wife. She's a nice looking lady, great figure, I hope she can be saved.
A very honest account of her life, no bs. Wisdom comes after suffering and I really hope you realize your worth. You have so much to offer others, I wish you all the best Jodie.
Her story is filled with addict lies.
@@godogs89 I think so too. The story followed the similar trend of other half true stories.

OMG.........she gave her sister a shot and she died too???? This chick is the grim reaper
And all these people in the comments saying “omg, she’s amazing, stunning and brave’. Like wtf?
I have zero empathy for her, just another scumbag addict
@@prague7706 I know right ? 😂😂
This is cold but the world would have honeslty been better off without this woman
Her sister is alive and was my cousins shitty ex wife,
Such sadness in your face. Please be careful with that fentanyl. It killed my ex daughter-in-law in 2022.
Lots of us was dealt a shitty hand. Love yourself enough to get and stay clean. My son is finally clean(hopefully) after a 20 year addiction.
Also, keep in mind, she is here to show and tell the darker side , where she sees that things went wrong , so, don’t be surprised to see a lot of what looks like blaming other people and situations, and telling things as if there’s no feeling, when she’s really just trying to get through the interview.
calling playing the victim!
@E-bike Autonomy
Why do you say that?
This is her story.
Her pain!
Do you think it's easy to go through what she's been going through?
Growing up like that ruin people.
So well said, Kate!
@@leneo1731 And we don’t know the full story. There was more to her childhood than her parents fighting. It had to be Horrible for her brother to want to kill his father. She gave us no details. Like her feelings. Did the parents only verbally fight? Or was the mother physically assaulted? What about the kids? Were they beat up? There’s so much more to that part of her story. Plus the fact her birth was blamed as the reason for the parents misery. Heartbreaking. 💔💔💔
@@leneo1731 Ya sucks she had shit parents boo who! I have a friend who watched his own father stab his mum to death in front of him at 12 years old lol this is a victim's story and this is nothing compared to what I have lived through. You do government drugs, it's your own choice...
God I am so grateful to be clean and sober! For anyone out there still suffering from the disease of alcoholism/addiction my ❤ goes out to you.
Well said ... Im 9 years in.
Almost 3yrs sober… keep keeping on yall❤
Yeah it’s tough I’m currently stuck in that world of fucking misery shit is fucking pathetic
No one can make you feel a certain way about yourself without your permission. You have to be and are responsible for what you feel. I assume some of these feelings of inadequacy stem from a childhood that wasn't ideal. I hope you find your worth, Jodie, and that you can get clean and live your best life. God bless.
not true. maybe you think your so "conscious" that you can be unbothered by peoples interactions with you but its inevitable that people influence how you feel. people that say otherwise do that to cover up their pain caused by others. they think they can live unaffected by being 'unattached'. so the question is why do you want to be unaffected rather than feel emotions which are what make us human
@@theeskatelife It's true you have emotions, but if someone told me I was a dumb, pink clown, I can choose to be bothered by it or know that it's not true. If you have confidence in yourself, you don't let those words bother you. I won't argue with you over this, because some people just won't get it. Know that God loves you, and that's really what's important. He sees value in you and wants you to see the value in yourself. I hope you do.
No matter how confident you think you are. When someone you love, she said she thought he "walked on water", tells you day in and day out how stupid you are, belittles you and God knows what else. He was doing something to her, to make her think she was crazy, I mean to end up in a mental institution for two weeks. Anyhow when someone treats you like that, and unless you have been in that situation, you don't have any idea what it feels like to be in that situation. If you hear it enough, you start to believe it....and she's stuck in Alaska, it's a beautiful place but so isolating. Even the most self confident person, I believe, can be worn down after so long. I hope she can find happiness sober, but she will have to forgive herself first of all, and that's a hard thing to do. So good luck Jodie, I'll be praying for you.
@@Bookiebaby17 I understand what you are saying, but if someone is confident in who they are (healthy), they would hopefully realize the toxic behavior of the other person who tries to belittle them. I would then hope that they would remove themselves from the situation. I don't remember this interview at this point, so maybe this is easier said than done. I have been at the end of negative interactions, but I admit it probably wasn't to this extent. I have, however, had a very difficult time in my life where I did feel like a nobody, and that's exactly what taught me the lesson I learned and tried to share here.
Broken families breaks children souls… she is a very good example
not always
Chick sounds like my mom: its always someone elses fault.
Which is why my mom and this woman are still on their BS and at the end of the day - care about no one but themselves.
Dont judge a book by its cover. On the outside, youd never guess this lady had all this going on her life. Its astounding she looks as well as she does in all honesty. There are clean living women who I work with who are likely younger than what Jody is who look in a poorer way. Luck and genetics i guess. Shes been around so much misery and death that it seems to have almost numbed her. She seems to be able to talk about these harrowing subjects without any emotion or feeling. Like her senses have just become dulled to the trauma now. Like its almost just normal for her.
Pretty much all addicts have one thing in common: severe childhood trauma. I don't think I've ever met an addict that was raised in a healthy and loving household.
Many people on this channel that grew up in a great household STILL chose to use drugs, so not all childhood trauma. I will say that childhood trauma is most likely the reason I used many years ago, just wanted to feel numb...
thats just not true. of course many do. but just as much are normal people that fell into addiction as well through injuries etc. i come from a great family no trauma and i had my battle with addiction. not all addicts are these broken beaten people.
I had the best childhood you could probably ask for, like fantastic parents and friends and support and hobbies and love, still got addicted to fet for years, I quit eventually and I’m good now but it can happen to literally anybody, I just happened to be arrogant and think I could out smart dope, but there’s no exception to the rule… if you do enough of an opiate your body will in fact become physically dependent and existing as a functional member of society is no longer possible without getting drugs first, or getting real and stopping
And yeah for real it all comes down to choice, everything you do in life is simply a choice, and learning to take responsibility for those choices
@@PoppinFresh1 Right, it affects everyone equally! We tend to think we can control something and then before you know it, we are turned upside down! Keep staying clean and thank God we are both still here...
Such a beautiful lady. To just see her, a person would never imagine she was into the things she spoke of. It's a shame what she will look like in probably a very short time if she continues her lifestyle. I wish her the best in life.
I think she's really good at make up cus if she's been on this stuff that long idk her age but almost all of us deteriorate pretty bad by 35 in a active use lifestyle
I'm shocked by how she said "I gave my sister a shot and she died on me, but we brought her back to life" and then just glossed over it like it was nothing. Like she was talking about the weather. That was disturbing 😳
Americans who are addicted can thank big pharmaceutical companies and their doctors for this, doctors knew how addictive opioids would be before they prescribed them🌸
Do you feel like that about chronic pain patients? There is a legitimate use to keep people out of chronic pain and having functional lives. It's not all or nothing.
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse For years people didn’t have opioids for chronic pain, it should be used for end stage cancers.
@Environmental Coffeehouse i DO believe this about chronic pain patients. There isn't multi- million dollar lawsuits against the pharmaceutical companies for no reason. There are many alternatives to overmedicating people for profit. There are surely times wheres opioid medication is necessary, but not in the high doses and amounts that they were handing out like skittles to people.
@@ow3wells Have you lived with chronic pain 24/7, 365? if not, you have NO idea what you are talking about!!
@@susanherbst3319 What I’m saying is that there were pain medications before opioids came on the market, people need go back to using those medications to avoid addiction.
I have a hard time with this one, not even wanting to get clean, all these excuses and blaming the ex husband for taking their child, with her background… I don’t believe her, honestly. She seems full of blame to him but glosses over what her part was. Fentanyl killed my brother in law and I saw 10 years of agony he put his parents, siblings and kids through. Lying, stealing, vicious words, false promises and his kids saw it all. My in laws have custody since the mom chooses drugs still. I just wanted to say too, I believe addiction is a choice. I am sure plenty of people will disagree but I have lived and loved closely to addicts of several types of vices and it's a choice daily.
Druggies use every excuse to keep getting high... weak minded along with choices 😢
Addiction isn't a choice in that sense. It is incredible difficult to get clean and stay clean, otherwise people would all do it. Some people do but it takes a lot of support, the right types of therapy and the will from the person themselves.
Blame everyone but self. No excuses. It's a choice. Period. Not a dis-ease. A choice. It's the separation from family that is sick.
Everybody is responsible for their own actions.
Sometimes their are consequences for your actions.
You have nobody to blame except Yourself.
At first it's a choice, yes, when you first start using, but after you become addicted \depependant, it's not a choice anymore it re wires your brain so that you need it to survive, just like you need water. But yes the responsibility is theirs. It's a hard thing to over come but it is possible. And it's getting easier everyday for addicts to make the choice to get clean. So many more resources now days.
TRUST AND BELIEVE that her child wasnt taken by the father cause she was doing the right things! The only reason he got the child is because she was a crappy mother and he luckily won the lotto of the court system...
Yep..my ex got on meth threatened to kill me and the kids via texts over 100 times I got custody and a 5 yr restringing order these ppl are never Held accountable for what they do and blame others

Agreed but all these blind people will call the husband evil because they want to side with the horrible mother

They were both only 45 years old! Her Mother died 2 days before my daughters 19th birthday. The last month has been really tough
Bruh, I’m so sorry. I have actually been there too. My son’s mom liked herself cause she just couldn’t get clean. Just be there for your kiddo. And get to therapy. Together.
She’s kinda twisted , knowingly introduces pain and trauma into someone’s life and then acts surprised.
Right.. narcissism is definitely one of her highs … the way she mentions how ppl died due to her bad influence, it’s as if she’s reading a play.. I hate when ppl cater to these dope Fiens that traumatize their children with their bad choices and their refusal to get help n stay clean… I’m the one that’s helped these children out her who r hurting, it’s real f’d up out here😔

I’m sorry because I usually feel bad for the people in these interviews but I can’t find sympathy for her. Not only has she screwed up her life, she almost is flippant about the people who have been destroyed as a result of her addictions. My dad was physically and mentally abusive and I chose to rise above it. At some point as an adult you have to take responsibility for your own actions. She needs to get her shit together.
Your opinion is your right, but it reflects that you don't understand or haven't had the same experience, even if you had that experience, but you're putting her down for your sanity. You and her experienced similar EVENTS. That part is fine. We aren't watching American Idol. Mental illness and addiction are everywhere. A lot of people experience severe losses. Your comment was gross
We can all be respectful. I'm sorry what happened to you as well, and I hope your heart heals.
@@Nessa_1990 Thanks for the lesson but I didn’t say nor imply that I was watching American Idol. I do understand, trust me. If you put your story on the internet then someone will comment.

In Ohio, if you are found complicit in the death of someone due to an overdose you can face prison time. Again, trust me when I tell you that I have my reasons for feeling the way that I do. If that is “gross” then I will take it.

If they don't confer her any benefit, they are dead to her. She comes out with money values a lot, and my sister swoops in to situations and grabs all she can, then leaves. Someone had to tell me once, "Concentrate on what you do have, rather than what you don't have." She looks around at what everyone else has and compares herself. That's going to make anyone sad and depressed.
this woman 100% has some sociopathic/narcassistic traits within her. She looks at everything from a logical perspective (never emotions), talks herself up like how shes pretty and how she's smart and how she chooses to do the thing things she does not because she cant control herself but to prove something to others and she seems to have no remorse for anything she's done (especially the deaths of the ppl around her). I can't be the only one who sees this
Unfortunately people are so stupid that think being pretty equals to having more possibilities to being a regular human being than someone who’s less attractive.
You know. I don't believe her. 9-10 days up bullshit.
Fucked up out of her mind but graduated from pharmacy school?
Pathological liar
4 yr old brother was driven enough to pour gasoline around her sleeping father to kill him
GTFOH!😡
I wondered the same thing. The part where she chooses to be a junky, so she can show the world that you can still have your teeth, looks, fit in anywhere, be smart(?)etc. I almost erupted into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. No accountability for (5 children and was it 2 or 3 deaths?). If you see this woman, ignore her good looks and run. A real life succubus folks. Sheesh! What a load!!!
@@daerganguy7504 and she thinks no one can tell when meeting her that she's an addict. Bless her heart.
The story about the 1st kid/Alaska. Gotta be more to the story. Says was sober, leave it to beaver life ect.. If so, there is no way US custody courts cutting mom completely out of the picture.
Sober people aren’t always happy. We just get through those times without substances. You can be like that too. You did it for two years and you know you want it so please do it I’m rooting for you
Well said 💯👍🙂
As a chronic pain sufferer who has seen so many people with real pain issues be treated like addicts because they need opioids to just get the hell out of bed, this makes me sick. I am so sick of people like this who decided to take opioids with no damn pain, I am clicking out. People like this piss me off. They are what is contributing to a major portion of the opioid problem yet we all are being lumped in with them due to an agenda being pushed.
Amen..I'm in palliative care hospice..(in my home )..since I am not ready to yet enter a hospice facility I am not allowed pain medicine...I suffer every day because of people like her...
@@debbiebasche5337 its because of people like you that you dont get it. you would suffer more if you were given it.
Exactly 💯
As someone in chronic pain I disagree. I blame the pharmaceutical companies (and those that have facilitated their power aka lobbyists and politicians), the greedy doctors who helped create the problem, the CDC for guidelines that resulted in gross negligence and knee jerk reactions amongst providers leaving those with chronic pain to fend for themselves and the current providers for continuing to perpetuate the stigma and not treating pain appropriately despite having the autonomy to do so. Leaving people to suffer in chronic pain is unacceptable and shouldn't be happening period.
I know for a fact that many people in chronic pain who don’t have options other than being on pain medication it is because of Doctors who chose to give out pain medication to people who are NOT in chronic pain just had a short term issue yet Doctors chose to give prescriptions out like crazy so then the Government came down hard core, changed the laws, regulations and so forth which makes it much more challenging to get pain medication prescriptions and the Doctors, pharmacies and every day people put the blame on chronic pain suffers instead of holding Doctors accountable for giving out pain medication far too often for patients who should not have been prescribed opioids because their pain is not chronic. This is a really big issue and what accrual started people being so judgmental, also the media lying about what Doctors did and do by giving opioids to patients that are not in chronic pain. Sadly people who are NOT in chronic pain do not understand nor do most pain management Doctors anymore because Doctors who we should be able to trust screwed everybody by giving out opioids to patients who are addicts and not in chronic pain. Also some pharmacies and Doctors started stealing opioids for their own use. There are many different factors involved. I do agree people are judgmental when the hear anybody is prescribed opioids. Most Doctors are forcing patients that suffer with chronic pain off opioids because of all these factors. I had breast cancer and my Doctors screwed up my surgery which caused me to be in chronic severe pain and there is no way to correct the damage and chronic pain I suffer with. So I basically am forced to take opioids to manage the severe pain I am in 24/7. Yet my Doctors are making me take less and my pain level is so bad I feel like I want to die. I struggle to get through every second and the Doctors will cut off my prescriptions so I will be forced to suffer in insane pain. It pisses me off too. I never wanted to be stuck in severe chronic pain or have to take pain medication in the first place. My Doctors don’t care. They are doing what our government is telling them to do is get patients off opioids all together.
Take everything a chronic junkie tells you with a grain of salt. Feeding their addiction is their number one priority.
I was on opiates for like 5 years and I did heroin like a gentleman. I never stole or committed crimes and only lied when I had to but eventually the desire to do that sort of just left me. Not all addicts are bad people some are just conflicted and isolated they don't need to scheme on others.
@@alexhatfield4448 some people just have weaker wills
@ebullientbronco9859 yea my story with addiction is very much the exception, I had a lot of red lines I wouldn't cross that other people didn't. Still nearly ruined my life though and almost killed me twice.
A junkie that's what you call it. 😢have a heart lost my mom to it and I suffered and I worked for my high bethankful u are not in that boat.
Yes, and Jodie told you that is what addicts care about. She was being very honest and real.
😢 oh the story of her childhood is heartbreaking. My heart hurts for you. ❤❤❤
Some people just don’t get that it’s the drugs/alcohol that lead to problems after problems to the hell hole of misery.
Once I got clean and sober from substances life took a 180 for the best.
I feel so lucky that I had a shred of self preservation left in my soul to save my own self.
No appreciation for her grandparents. If they would have talked to her, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have listened.
This girl's story just broke my heart she's such a good person she's carrying a lot of guilt around Mark you have a way of getting these people to feel comfortable enough to tell a story like that I admire you so so much thank you thank you for sharing these stories I wish her all the luck❤❤❤
I know her personally and she really is such a sweet person. Always has been.
At some point you got to stop making excuses and want to change
Unless you're psychopathic
Jodie, it broke my heart to see this. I’m so sorry for what you have gone through. You truly are a beautiful person inside and out and I’m praying for you to find peace.
Great interview. Jodie, believe in yourself!
Why keep having kids when you're an addict??? So unfair to the kids.
As opposed to the state raising your kids?
It’s incredible how much drug abuse a body can take. I don’t know how she is able to recall anything. I just wish her peace ☮️ somehow.
She and I have the same story as far as her first husband and Isaiah. My first husband was a narcissist that mentally and verbally abused me for all but 4 years of our marriage and we had one child together. After I finally got enough courage to leave him, my son was slowly and methodically turned against me and it has been 5 years since I’ve seen him.
I wish the best for her. At first appearance you would never guess she has an addiction
she tells Mark that very thing about herself and many other addicts in society, numerous times.
How she talks gives it away
One thing I will never understand is why addicts are able to have so many children and there’s women who would make phenomenal mothers that can’t have even one. It’s so unfair.
She is expressing all of the signs of someone who doesn’t have a conscious, and has homicidal traits to her behavior. She has an excuse for everything. “My mom, she made me feel, my dad” etc…. Then the sheer amount of people who have died around this woman is scary.
I see no remorse, no kindness in her. Like an empty shell
her husband 'put her in a mental institution so he could get an honorable discharge"... What does that even mean? I don't doubt she's a drug addict, she's obviously high. But man, the delusions.
@matteframe he got her committed so he could get their baby and he would have an honorable d/c so he could get out without it being let out on a bad note if this makes any sense to you,, it's kinda hard to explain
@@rachelrae860 people just don’t understand. Having a father that beats your mother. It’s something that unless you have had it happen. Quiet… the amount of rage u conceal as a child is insane.
@gorillagoldhunters Are you telling me to be quite? If you are I've had major issues as a child from 9 to 12 so yeah I know about it
When I watch these, it reminds me of doomer Sam when he says don't have kids. Most of the people that are dysfunctional should never have children. I don't understand why they do. It's one of the most selfish acts you can do.
She says she a junkie to prove that junkies can be nice people. She is a typical druggie… excuses, blame shifting. I hope she can find her way out.
Grim reaper!
All the situations that she was going through were because of drugs. She is not ready to stop. It’s her life. Praying she gets counseling and detox. The pain of getting sober ends. Using pain never stops. I speak from life experience. 🙏
Detox cannot take you out of methadone, fentanyl etc
I hope she finds sobriety and inner peace
8:18 Errr how about your son that probably still thinks about you 10 times a day?!? Pretty sure he loves his mum. Poor kid, I hope he turns out ok and doesn't miss his mum so mum that he replicates her (as so often people do- turn into the parent they idolise/ resent)

How could a 4 year old pour gas around a couch to set it on fire? Her brain is fried
I thought that too
I knew as soon as she said, I grew up in a very loving family. It appeared.!! Yes, maybe to the outside world !
This lovely lady is lucky to be alive and as healthy and as beautiful as she is
Pray she gets help!!
Praying is useless

I’m on suboxone and it saves a lot of lives if you really want it. I would stay away from methadone that is brutal coming off I’m sure you know that. I’ll be praying for you. You got this
You do what works for you hey 👋😊
Suboxone is just as bad to come off of unfortunately.
@@Disorderly_mama if she took it for 2 or 3 days she will not withdrawal at all. Opiates stay in your system for 3 days and she could easily get off everything after taking subs for that long. I’ve done it multiple times that way.
Subs has been the worst thing to get off of since heroin. It was hell
Drugs fucks up the reasoning, empathy, and other social tools. That is why is so evil. What is left, is someone capable of doing horrible stuff
And yet she sees herself as a nice person.
Why are people hating? She is speaking of her past yet telling her mistakes. She's an addict 🤷🏼♀️
Because she inflicted it on so many others in a devastating way
Hope she finds her way. Sending good thoughts her way.
MAN IF THIS WOMAN CAN GET ON FENTANYL ANYONE CAN. SHE STILL KEEPS HER HAIR COLOR IN GOOD CONDITION SO SHE IS AWARE OF HERSELF. I PRAY SHE GETS HER ACT TOGETHER....
I am like Mark who has never done drugs and just interested in all of this information because human beings are so interesting. When I was growing up my parents parents became alcoholics over time and all I remember is us constantly taking care of them and bring them back to normal conditions after a long spree of drinking nonstop. Well, watching all of that I became disgusted and back then I knew I never want to be like them. That’s the question that is constantly popping in my head if you grew up with parents whose been using why why do you make a conscious decision not only to do it to yourself but also have kids and do it to them
Coping.
It’s NOT a conscious decision! That’s just it.
@@domovancan the more stories i listen to, the more excuses like that I hear. I am sorry I don’t buy it. Unlike this one story of the old lady whose mother gave her drugs and left on the street at three years old. Especially after being clean for years to go back. It is a choice that an individual is making. Everyone is looking for fun and an easy way-out until deep into addiction.
Jodie, I just want to tell you that when you are raised with parents that gave conditional love then you have adopted that mindset to yourself. Instead, you just need humility. Finding that it is only human to error. Most of the time people use pride as a crutch in this area. So judging someone is a type of supply to people that have only grown up with conditional love upbringings. Please love yourself. Even if you did all of that to me, seeing how much you care about what you did especially, would allow me and humble person to WANT to forgive you. True humility is knowing that I can and will make mistakes in the future. I believe that this world we are brought into, is a place of learning. You have a good heart deep down and I believe you know that so please just be humbled by what you did and learn from your mistakes. "Good nature and good sense must ever join; To err is human; to forgive, divine." ~ Alexander Pope
Thats the thing dad didnt take him for selfish reasons. Selfish is to think u have a right to ur child when u have put drugs as ur priority over that child
I do think the people who were able to get away from her, sound way way better off for it - but I do wish her well too
Some things are better left unsaid. I pray she finds a way out of her addiction.
Does she think she's the only person that has faced this kind of adversities?? Plenty of people pick themselves up and don't give their little sister herion shots
She’s lying about 80% of what she is saying .
She's actually not
@@reethomas7632 We really don't know, do we? But it almost doesn't matter if she is lying about some things (and addicts DO lie for myriad reasons). What matters is she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and commit to rehab because she doesn't take responsibility for her addiction and...
You are a brave, strong, and amazing young woman. Please give yourself a gift of counseling to heal. There is so much for you to accomplish. I am so sorry your life was such hell for you and your siblings.
12:29 I overdosed on heroin/fentanyl. April 13, 2021.. stayed clean for a year and a half and now I'm back stuck on this stupid shit. I hate myself. I want to get clean soooooooo bad. I would love to speak with you Jodie. Omg our kids are SAME AGE. Minus the baby you adopted out. Our lives are so similar. I want to help you I feel like you could help me as well. I will forever think about you Jodie. 😭❤️
I am aware.
Thank you
Don’t give up🌸
@jimbofischaboidon’t be ignorant, it’s obviously not that easy.
@jimbofischa ignorant ass comment..
My Father's side of the family is from Canton Ga.
Great interview, thanks guys!
❤️🙏
Her story makes little sense.
Noticed she said she was pregnant with twins when the boyfriend she gave Xanax to died, but didn't mention twins when she said her kids' ages rather she mentioned it was a secret mixed baby she had and adopted out... Idk story seemed inconsistent.
Shes whacked
I thought it made sense? She is an addict, I'm sure she mixed up some bits due to that.
Praying for you Jodie.
❤❤❤
She says her 4 year old brother poured gasoline around the couch to kill his father??? Not buying a lot of these stories.
I don’t think this channel is for you.
@@kelleyjostrobel I watch it every day.
A mother only gets her child taken away if she is unfit so that is on you
Absolutely!
Hate to admit this, but listening to these stories makes me realise how lucky I am.
I’ve been dependent on morphine for 12 years now. I’ve never looked to get messed up on them only to relieve severe pain. It trueky makes me wonder. Why do some get addicted mentally always needing more?
I think they also use it just to not get sick because they were once prescribed it and then cut off,ect. They dont feel the "messed up" either but when they stop, as with anyone, they cant. Not all addicts are like this but the functioning are. I think it can evolve into stronger drugs when they cant find what they were originally on.
What spoke to Me was the talk about methadone. I currently take methadone and it's taken everything from Me. I seriously hate life and constantly think about ending it. To be alive and be so dead to the world is so miserable.
I am so sorry. This comment hurt my heart terribly. I care

No one thinks they will end up in this place. All I’m saying is please have a tiny amount of compassion. That compassion might be not hitting the “send” button before reading the comment you’re about to send.
Fentanyl is a curse we don't quite comprehend yet. Well, most of us.
I tell you what, the US and Mexico missed a big opportunity to steer cartels back towards heroin when the cartel screwed up and kidnapped 4 Americans and killed 2 in a mistaken identity hit. The cartel thought they were Haitian cartel, because they’ve been operating there. Anyway, they cartel realized how bad they F’d up that they gave up their own men trying to appease the US. If the US was smart and didn’t stick to this same old BS ‘War On Drugs’ tactics theg could’ve thought outside the box and used the pressure the cartel was feeling to get them to smuggle heroin instead of fentanyl. If the the government laid off let them a bit, letting them operate and profit with heroin while targeting fentanyl smugglers, other cartel would get the message and make the switch. It is impossible to stop drug smuggling into the U.S., all you can do is try to incentivize the more responsible smugglers. If they could get them to smuggle heroin again instead of fentanyl that save 10’s of thousands of lives a year in the US alone.
Its the graduation from pain pills to something "better"
It’s from the devil for sure
Fentanyl is a CIA covert op to kill off the poor and divert the poor from revolution.
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs9327 Just like your edge lord username and trash "rap" videos. Lol sheesh how much of a defect are you? We got it you won't ever mean anything to anyone and should probably join the statistics.
Thank you for the interview Jodie and SWU
Another example of early drug use leading to an endless dead end. I hope that her children don't end up like this and that they grow up in a healthy, loving environment and have a good childhood. In any case, this woman, who, among other things, injected her little sister with heroin, should be happy that the children are not growing up with her.
I absolutely despise people like this who refuse to take any accountability for their own choices in life.
All I hear is I feel sorry for myself. My mother in law is the same way. Grow up
I’m a product of two addicted parents. Mom - crustal merh & alcohol & my dad heroin & alcohol. My Mom has been through a similar life as this interviewee. I wish I had a platform for her to tell her eventful life story.

She didn't cry once. She barely even came close. That's sad, she had something to cry about. Maybe she came from a "I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!!!" family.
