Your response to the “ I’m sure you weren’t perfect in the relationship either” comments was articulated so incredibly well. I was in an abusive marriage with my kids father for 10 years and his entire family would say these things quite often.. it made me believe at the time that his abuse was not as bad as it really was.. that I was a bad person who deserved it, etc.. I am 5 years out of that relationship now, but I wish I had this video to watch back then.
ugh i’m so so sorry that happened to you. i don’t know you, but i can guess you’re an amazing person, and you def did not deserve it! people are so IGNORANT and stupid, like how dare they say something like that?! “im sure you weren’t perfect either” like wtf?! i have SO MUCH i could say about this 🤬🙄 i’m so sorry 💔
You, young lady, don’t owe us answers. I went thro divorce from an abusive ex and had to go thro cancer simultaneously. I made decisions that suited ME. They were not perfect. They were outright wrong at times. But they got me thro my situation. So they were right for ME. Doesn’t matter if it didn’t fit the perfect life of others. You do you!! You are so young and have had to deal with so much. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness. ❤
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcits quite unnecessary how many times you've commented on her videos. please, leave her alone. you're clearly obsessed if you've commented 50 times. let her live her life and you live yours.
I think a book is an ideal format for you to tell your story - you can write something that your girls can read in the future to hear your perspective directly from you with no misinformation. Plus you can always make videos about the book (reading extracts perhaps)
Cam, you don’t owe us anything. I’ve followed you for years, I’m 27, it’s amazing to see how you’ve grown. Don’t feel bad that sometimes you feel like you regret having kids. That’s completely normal, no matter what age you are. You are very strong woman, you can finish high school online! It’s never too late ❤
22:00 this is such an important message. thank you for saying this. it’s really crucial that people realise that a victim is also a human. they don’t sit there like a lifeless doll just being abused. we still had lives and we still made mistakes. however to compare a standard human action compared to violence is not fair. to make excuses for the abusive person by bringing up your actions is not fair. anyone can be a victim of abuse and we must listen to those who come forward but also keep a better eye on those who haven’t come forward yet and create a safe place for them
I would 100% buy and read any book you wrote about your life. You are incredibly articulate and have a beautiful way of looking at life. Sadly I can relate to a lot of things you have been through and i think writing a book would be therapeutic for you to finally get to say your side of everything.
I can 100% relate to your issues with your mom. I'm going through something similar. Even if you let go of the resentment its so hard to have a relationship if the other party is still actively triggering you and does not put in any effort to meet you half way.
You have nothing to be shamed about. You are doing the best you can. Your speaking abilities are amazing, and you appear very confident and mature for 22. Continue to do you, your girls will pick up on your confidence as you grow.
we're the same age and I've been following you since coco was born and I just LOVE seeing you like this and your evolution as a person. I relate to you on so many levels and I think life forced you to mature at such a young age, but you did amazing with what was available to you at the moment. you are such a wise and inspiring woman and it's great to see you help the world the way you do
When you said your kinda expecting someone just to come along but you don’t ever leave your house or put yourself out there, literally same. I’m soo glad someone else gets it.

It definitely takes courage to go out and to talk to someone when you don't know if they can understand what you've been through, I have learned that my family unfortunately will never understand what too went through.

It’s like I’m filled with trauma and I often ask myself what from, and then I remember that I did go through soo much and it’s a valid reasoning for why I deal with some of the mental things I deal with.

Camryn, have you ever considered going into therapy as a profession? (Apologies if you’ve already answered this previously). I think you’d make an amazing advocate as a therapist, or school/community outreach worker!
Her video explaining coming to a conclusion with her womanhood really helped settle so many thoughts I had about being a woman as well... i think she would do amazing!!
I swear, I could listen to your thoughts, ideas, opinions and reasoning for hours. You're two years younger than me. We have been through some of the exact same things. Only I'm pregnant with my 4th. And I learn so much from you about the world.
I hate that you have to explain yourself. We love you, Cam and girls. I understand you not having a close relationship with your mom. I didn't have one with my father. He physically, sexually, and mentally abused me growing up. He denied it up till the day he died.

It helps me feel not alone hearing you talk about what you've been through too, and you're 100% right how can you speak out if you're still in that fight or flight state where you could be put in danger i understand that. Love you 💕
Please do not stay with him. You deserve so much more than this, and he is clearly dangerous. Please get the help and support you need to move forward. Rib fractures are so painful, I’ve had three broken in a t bone accident (I was hit) and it was brutally painful. I am so sorry he hit you 🥲
Leave while you can! Although it looks impossible still force yourself to leave. Getting married to that guy will be a much harder life than leaving him. Find supportive people to help you through it! Any kind of abuse is wrong and shouldn't be allowed... but a rib fracture is pretty rough, save yourself while can can!
Olivia, please leave this guy! I know we are strangers but as someone who is a survivor of Domestic violence, it will get so much worse, think about yourself and get out while you can. Thinking of you!
With nothing but love as a straight female. Why does one feel pressured to label themselves? I feel like you should be able to love you you are without the pressure of a label. Someone help me understand
Mostly as a sense of community I’m assuming. I’ve identified as different sexualities but going forward I’m just saying I like what I like. It’s also difficult to explain that to someone that doesn’t understand sexuality and it’s easier to use a term that they have heard about.
There just feels like so much pressure to know who you are, how you identify etc. A bit like how you're supposed to know how your life will play out, the career you want etc.
Hey Cam! Just an FYI for Texas, we do have CURT, and PTSD is one of the few qualifying medical issues. I know you're not currently interested in using marijuana for medicinal purposes, but it is available to you in Texas.
@@RachaelNelson-si3qc this is not entirely true. Texas has a compassionate use program for certain medical conditions. I am enrolled in CURT and legally buy from a dispensary in Austin that provides for users like me. I think my comment keeps getting automatically deleted because I've been adding a link, so please Google Texas CURT and read the information there.
you do not owe the internet any explanation about your life. and even if you say that you planned to speak about it, you don’t need to rush it or even feel obligated to speak on it at all. in terms of the abuse you entailed, i think that good side of landon you knew would be proud of you for being brave and speaking for yourself. he couldn’t forgive himself, he would want you to seek this as an opportunity to not only help people that were in your shoes but his as well. you knew him with and without the camera, you saw things you did not deserve but you also saw the parts of him that were beautiful and what he had inside. your time will come to heal and accept and forgive not only him and your daughters but yourself as well. keep it pushing babe❤
Have you ever read jennette McCurdy’s “i’m glad my mom died”? If you haven’t i think that this format would be good for you. It’s a very blunt title and of course i’m not saying you have to feel that way in any shape or form at all & of course jennette’s situation may be very different from yours but i wanted to mention it because i think that jennette’s story telling format was super impactful. I read it like 4-5 times. She really does a great job at highlighting how difficult it is to love somebody for so long who happens to be your abuser, and what it’s like when they’re gone & to have to rebuild your life. She tells her story from a few moments where her mother was close to passing, to the beginning moments of her childhood, through her teenage years, and the eventual passing of her mother. She goes into the aftermath of how the loss has affected her, going to therapy, realizing her abuse & her picking up the pieces. It wasn’t just about her mother, but it goes into how her childhood specifically family dynamics shaped her situation in adulthood. It was such a good book, and if you haven’t read it yet, highly recommend. Also Great video Cam ❤️
@@jandaniluk4465 Can you just leave? like i see you all over her comments section being such a rude and disrespectful person with absolutely awful grammar. Like what do you have to gain? do something better with your time.
@@alhsa I am not rude nor disrespectful and I have safety and good of her girls in my heart, they are innocent beings who suffer a lot and lots of it is because selfishness of their mother
If you haven’t gone back to school yet… do it NOW! There’s never going to be a right time. There’s always something happening that will make you doubt yourself. The perfect time IS now. You can do it!
I also identified as gender fluid as a young teen (im 21 now) and came to realize it was internalized misogyny. I also started questioning my sexuality around 12, had my first girlfriend at 13-16 years old and it was very validating (also very heartbreaking for a few reasons). But it really helped me realize it wasnt a "phase" and i genuinely did adore women, i was just afraid of the social repercussions. (My parents on the other hand were very supportive) I wanted to edit my comment to say if you feel like you need medical marijuana dont feel like its a crutch! As a texan myself you have every right to enact the compassionate use act! I have been looking into it for my epilepsy and anxiety ❤
Cam, aside from everything in this video I just wanna say..u look absolutely stunning!! You are seriously glowing, the hair and everything suits u SM!! I love how comfortable ur getting with physically expressing yourself, and I think that’s beautiful + U are an inspiration to SO MANY WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD I hope yk that.
Remember kids are resilient! Yes they need stability but you have to taking care of yourself (within reason) has to be top priority otherwise how can you take care of them best. You’re doing a great job
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcI grew up as an army kid and moved around all the time. I don’t even remember the moves when I was super young. Don’t be ignorant, it’s ridiculous
maybe a podcast of a few chapters could be a good way to share your story, it could reach a lot of people, is comfortable to listen to and maybe also more comfortable for u ❤ you're doing amazing
Your Mom is like mine, obsessed with image. I picked up on that immediately bc of my own situation with mine. I get the feeling your Mom doesn’t truly get who you are or embrace it either. My Mom is a narcissist and emotionally abusive and I still hold her at arm’s length bc of that.
I think books reach a different audience and have a different impact than TH-cam videos. They let you sit with them and reflect on your own life and take you out of your routine a bit. When Louise Pentland, another TH-camr whose videos I knew well, published Mom Life, her autobiography, she could talk about different topics in different ways in it and it touched me differently. Knowing about your story what I can know from watching you on TH-cam, I am pretty sure a book, especially one that will reach people outside of TH-cam, would have a lot of value. I don't think it would be any less responsible or effective than doing a TH-cam series.
I appreciate you and how open you are when you feel comfortable! I’m so sorry that people have to ask so personal questions! I just hope everything was ok and that you are doing good!❤
Thank you for being an advocate for domestic violence survivors. When you feel better, I hope that you open up more about your experience. What you were saying about being able to still be a victim despite having done things wrong is a very important thing for many people to hear.
As long as they have food in their bellies, roof over their heads and clothes on their backs does it really matter what state you're in? Jeez, like you're a 22 year old mom with two little girls you're still trying to figure out where YOU want to be and the housing market is freaking crazy right now. You are doing your damnest. That's all that matters. 💕
Thank you for sharing your story. I know it's helped so many people already. Hopefully, this is a lighter question, but what was Landon going to school for? I've always been curious since the vlog you both talked about it but said you couldn't discuss it until after he graduated.
Moving shame is ridiculous! You are the stability that your kids need and want, moving doesn’t hurt them or make it less stable. You have a place to live period there should be nothing else to it. I’m so proud of you and I’m sorry you get hate for literally everything!
i love you cam. I’ve watched your channel with my mom back in elementary and now I’m a freshman. You have inspired me so much and I look up to you a lot, you’re amazing.
I’m sorry about your relationship with your mom. You deserve to feel safe and I’m glad you can give yourself that now and your girls. Awful she can’t take responsibility, but unfortunately some people will never. Glad you have the strength to back away.
I'm not sure if you normally script your videos but if you want the book to be accessible both to your youtube audience and to people outside of this community in written format maybe start by writing the scripts for videos. Childhood, teen years, having kids, etc idk exactly what you want to talk about but writing a book doesn't necessarily mean you deliver it in a traditional format or start writing it in a traditional style. Good luck!
The moving shaming question, believe me I know it! I get labeled this way and honestly it really isn’t even the reason people think. In the end it’s NONE of anyone business, close or not, why you move. News flash, millions move every year! We pay our own bills so no need to answer to anyone!
Respectfully, I think every life experience can turn into something good for a child. I would even dare to say a child needs everything God gives them. 🤗For instance, I think of several good things about moving so often - such as being comfortable with change (SO necessary now and in the future), not being afraid of the new, trusting yourself to adapt and make the best of every place and situation, rooting your identity in yourself rather than external circumstances, starting over, the courage to explore etc. etc. The same goes for any other life experience. Nothing means just one thing. Nothing is either black or white. There is so much more to life than what we come to understand or make of it. Every experience equips you with something valuable. Life is not perfect in the way we understand perfection. I doubt there is a parent out there who can give their children everything they want for their kids, and, if they do, it doesn't mean they're also giving their children everything they need. Trust your love for your kids, be kind to yourself and go on with your life❤
The best thing about life is you have no obligation to justify yourself. if what you say comes from truth and integrity you will be happy with yourself everyday 💛 life is hard on a good day and reflecting on what you share, you are wise beyond years and well reasoned in your comments. You should be proud of you - Strong woman 🌻
I’m sure you’re aware of her but there’s another teen mom, alex (deargreyson youtube) who is in her 20s now, has two sons, and was in an abusive (as far as I know) relationship/marriage with her sons’ father. She’s now openly out as lesbian and with a woman, so just mentioning her as someone to confide in
I realize that your generation needs to label everything but your sexuality is not meant to be labeled. Just be you and know that you don't have to explain yourself! Even as a someone with a youtube or social media platform. We will deal with childhood issues our entire lives. Growth is the best way forward. Loving yourself and learning to move forward in growth is the greates and hardest relationship ever. I wish you the best Cam. ✌❤🌍
Have you reached out to Zoey who seems to dealing w/ similar issues with her husband as you did w/ Landon? I fear that this situation may not end well.
Did your relationship with Landon change or was it always entwined with abuse? You're resilient and an incredible motivator to all in similar situations!
Being domestically abused feels lonely. It feels like you can’t find the way out. It’s mental imprisonment. Then people with no empathy or intelligence come up and ask why we didn’t say anything. Like yes let me go tell the whole world about it, like it’s great news. Ugh. Lord forgive those ignorant people.
I hope you always know how strong you are 🤍 I don’t know what teen parenthood is like because I don’t have children myself, but I am 22 years old and have been through extensive trauma and I have PTSD from childhood trauma & abusive relationships. I’ve also battled suicidal depression for a long time, so in a lot of ways I can understand a lot of what you’re talking about. But you’re strong 🤍 you’re going to do amazing things in this world
Wow, these questions really shock me. It could be because I'm older that I just understand that you're a young woman figuring life out and it just happens to involve a camera. Many people move a lot when they're young. Many people take time to figure out their sexuality. Many people struggle to figure out how to negotiate an abusive relationship. Maybe it's because you present such a put together persona that people have no concept that you could be struggling. Hugs to you. You're doing your best and those girls have a wonderful mom.
I’m not straight and I have thought sm about labels as well and I have came to terms that you can JSUT say you like who you like you don’t have to label yourself !!
its crazy to watch this now bc i at one point used to watch them all the time and haven't really in awhile and like i started watching them in like 2017 and so much had changed but its still great to come back and just watch some of the newer stuff and the older ones i usest to watch
You could also make a documentary about your life instead of a book, you know, something very professional (maybe look for a team to help you, people with experience on directing documentaries). Your story is very interesting and i'm sure a lot of people in the field would want to help you to make it happen.
Great video Cam. You are an articulate, thoughtful, intelligent young woman. I do hope you find a fulfilling, well-paying career using all your wonderful skills. It must get tiresome having to share your private life on social media in order to make money. : ). I'm rooting for you!
maybe a short documentary or like a cinematic type video to tell your story!! it would be a lot of work but i think it would be more engaging than a sit down :) of course i would watch your sit down anytime but more people would watch some type of short film
im having the same experience, i got asked out for the first time in my life by a guy and it made me feel anxious. The more i reflect the more i think im a lesbian, but that label doesn’t really fit me, idk what i am
We love you, Cameron, and you have a right to pick what you will share with us it is your life. ❤ And so what if you love girls there is no shame in that. Always be yourself don't change for no one. Landan loved you he gave you too beautiful girls to love for the rest of your life.
You should do your book in more of a public speaking (at schools, colleges, rehabs, and womens shelters) format to raise awareness about the topics included
You are so brave.! It’s tough for anyone at any age to answer Q & A straight up. You are an amazing person!! Hopefully you know how important you are to your daughters .. I can tell you always do the best you can for them !! Also as parents we always have the best intentions for them !! We all are trying to figure things out every day, every year as we grew through this thing called “life” Keep being you-you are amazing!! ☀️🐝🤗🐞☮️🩵
With sexuality I would stick with queer which is just “not straight” and broad. You dont need a label and thats not something someone should care about. I have been pan since like 13, now that im 22 I still go by that label but im honestly not interested in guys sexually at all (cis) which im closer to Lesbian than pan but I just keep it Queer/Pan. There’s no rush or obligation on having a label

Olivia, please leave this guy! I know we are strangers but as someone who is a survivor of Domestic violence, it will get so much worse, think about yourself and get out while you can. Thinking of you!
@@brittneebarnett5943 💜
Please, do not stay with him. Unless he’s been non contact with you, and going through therapy. He is not getting better.
You don't need to label yourself. Love who you want to love and be happy!!!
With nothing but love as a straight female. Why does one feel pressured to label themselves? I feel like you should be able to love you you are without the pressure of a label. Someone help me understand
Mostly as a sense of community I’m assuming. I’ve identified as different sexualities but going forward I’m just saying I like what I like. It’s also difficult to explain that to someone that doesn’t understand sexuality and it’s easier to use a term that they have heard about.
There just feels like so much pressure to know who you are, how you identify etc. A bit like how you're supposed to know how your life will play out, the career you want etc.
as someone who doesn’t go by labels i still feel like i don’t belong anywhere. i guess people just want people to relate to
You label yourself too. Straight is a label..
“It’s a label I’ve been trying on” love that!
Hey Cam! Just an FYI for Texas, we do have CURT, and PTSD is one of the few qualifying medical issues. I know you're not currently interested in using marijuana for medicinal purposes, but it is available to you in Texas.
It's illegal to Have in Tx
@@RachaelNelson-si3qc this is not entirely true. Texas has a compassionate use program for certain medical conditions. I am enrolled in CURT and legally buy from a dispensary in Austin that provides for users like me. I think my comment keeps getting automatically deleted because I've been adding a link, so please Google Texas CURT and read the information there.
you do not owe the internet any explanation about your life. and even if you say that you planned to speak about it, you don’t need to rush it or even feel obligated to speak on it at all. in terms of the abuse you entailed, i think that good side of landon you knew would be proud of you for being brave and speaking for yourself. he couldn’t forgive himself, he would want you to seek this as an opportunity to not only help people that were in your shoes but his as well. you knew him with and without the camera, you saw things you did not deserve but you also saw the parts of him that were beautiful and what he had inside. your time will come to heal and accept and forgive not only him and your daughters but yourself as well. keep it pushing babe❤
Have you ever read jennette McCurdy’s “i’m glad my mom died”? If you haven’t i think that this format would be good for you. It’s a very blunt title and of course i’m not saying you have to feel that way in any shape or form at all & of course jennette’s situation may be very different from yours but i wanted to mention it because i think that jennette’s story telling format was super impactful. I read it like 4-5 times. She really does a great job at highlighting how difficult it is to love somebody for so long who happens to be your abuser, and what it’s like when they’re gone & to have to rebuild your life. She tells her story from a few moments where her mother was close to passing, to the beginning moments of her childhood, through her teenage years, and the eventual passing of her mother. She goes into the aftermath of how the loss has affected her, going to therapy, realizing her abuse & her picking up the pieces. It wasn’t just about her mother, but it goes into how her childhood specifically family dynamics shaped her situation in adulthood. It was such a good book, and if you haven’t read it yet, highly recommend. Also Great video Cam ❤️
Great book! I personally love the title bc it’s so genuine and relatable for anyone who experienced life with a narcissist parent.
It’s is difficault to love a man when you are a lesbian
@@river8760 of course! but some people hear the title and they’re scared of it. but the content was very powerful.
@@jandaniluk4465 Can you just leave? like i see you all over her comments section being such a rude and disrespectful person with absolutely awful grammar. Like what do you have to gain? do something better with your time.
@@alhsa I am not rude nor disrespectful and I have safety and good of her girls in my heart, they are innocent beings who suffer a lot and lots of it is because selfishness of their mother
If you haven’t gone back to school yet… do it NOW! There’s never going to be a right time. There’s always something happening that will make you doubt yourself. The perfect time IS now. You can do it!
I also identified as gender fluid as a young teen (im 21 now) and came to realize it was internalized misogyny. I also started questioning my sexuality around 12, had my first girlfriend at 13-16 years old and it was very validating (also very heartbreaking for a few reasons). But it really helped me realize it wasnt a "phase" and i genuinely did adore women, i was just afraid of the social repercussions. (My parents on the other hand were very supportive)
I wanted to edit my comment to say if you feel like you need medical marijuana dont feel like its a crutch! As a texan myself you have every right to enact the compassionate use act! I have been looking into it for my epilepsy and anxiety ❤
Cam, aside from everything in this video I just wanna say..u look absolutely stunning!! You are seriously glowing, the hair and everything suits u SM!! I love how comfortable ur getting with physically expressing yourself, and I think that’s beautiful + U are an inspiration to SO MANY WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD I hope yk that.
Remember kids are resilient! Yes they need stability but you have to taking care of yourself (within reason) has to be top priority otherwise how can you take care of them best. You’re doing a great job
Bad to keep moving around
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcI grew up as an army kid and moved around all the time. I don’t even remember the moves when I was super young. Don’t be ignorant, it’s ridiculous
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcthey’re not your kids so shut up.
@@katherineking5279
U are not smart
maybe a podcast of a few chapters could be a good way to share your story, it could reach a lot of people, is comfortable to listen to and maybe also more comfortable for u ❤ you're doing amazing
We love you Camryn you don't need to answer the questions ❤❤❤❤
They will be punished from God
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcnot before you are, trash
Your Mom is like mine, obsessed with image. I picked up on that immediately bc of my own situation with mine. I get the feeling your Mom doesn’t truly get who you are or embrace it either. My Mom is a narcissist and emotionally abusive and I still hold her at arm’s length bc of that.
I think books reach a different audience and have a different impact than TH-cam videos. They let you sit with them and reflect on your own life and take you out of your routine a bit. When Louise Pentland, another TH-camr whose videos I knew well, published Mom Life, her autobiography, she could talk about different topics in different ways in it and it touched me differently. Knowing about your story what I can know from watching you on TH-cam, I am pretty sure a book, especially one that will reach people outside of TH-cam, would have a lot of value. I don't think it would be any less responsible or effective than doing a TH-cam series.
I'm sorry about your mom, it's okay, all problems have solutions and make us learn from that.❤
I appreciate you and how open you are when you feel comfortable! I’m so sorry that people have to ask so personal questions! I just hope everything was ok and that you are doing good!❤
You do you girl, that’s ALL that matters. No one is wrong when they choose who they want to be or be with❤
I’m sorry for your loss about Landon always here for u
Thank you for being an advocate for domestic violence survivors. When you feel better, I hope that you open up more about your experience. What you were saying about being able to still be a victim despite having done things wrong is a very important thing for many people to hear.
DM on what?
@@moodypeacockit’s a scam. Ignore it.
cam you're incredible. I've been watching you since coco's birth and your growth inspires me.
Your looking extra beautiful in this video. Keep loving yourself eveything else will work out. Love to see you smile 😊
It's bad to make up excuses
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcwhat are you even talking about?
As long as they have food in their bellies, roof over their heads and clothes on their backs does it really matter what state you're in? Jeez, like you're a 22 year old mom with two little girls you're still trying to figure out where YOU want to be and the housing market is freaking crazy right now. You are doing your damnest. That's all that matters. 💕
Thank you for sharing your story. I know it's helped so many people already. Hopefully, this is a lighter question, but what was Landon going to school for? I've always been curious since the vlog you both talked about it but said you couldn't discuss it until after he graduated.
Moving shame is ridiculous! You are the stability that your kids need and want, moving doesn’t hurt them or make it less stable. You have a place to live period there should be nothing else to it. I’m so proud of you and I’m sorry you get hate for literally everything!
Kids need to stay in one place
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcthen keep your kids in one place. If she has to move her and her kids, she will.
@@dearleah7299
She's a unstable mom to them kids
@@RachaelNelson-si3qc if you think she’s unstable then what are you doing about it? 🤔
I bet nothing.
@@dearleah7299
Not my problem
When she makes a video about answering questions but doesn’t answer thing haha
i love you cam. I’ve watched your channel with my mom back in elementary and now I’m a freshman. You have inspired me so much and I look up to you a lot, you’re amazing.
I’m sorry about your relationship with your mom. You deserve to feel safe and I’m glad you can give yourself that now and your girls. Awful she can’t take responsibility, but unfortunately some people will never. Glad you have the strength to back away.
I'm not sure if you normally script your videos but if you want the book to be accessible both to your youtube audience and to people outside of this community in written format maybe start by writing the scripts for videos. Childhood, teen years, having kids, etc idk exactly what you want to talk about but writing a book doesn't necessarily mean you deliver it in a traditional format or start writing it in a traditional style. Good luck!
The moving shaming question, believe me I know it! I get labeled this way and honestly it really isn’t even the reason people think. In the end it’s NONE of anyone business, close or not, why you move. News flash, millions move every year! We pay our own bills so no need to answer to anyone!
Respectfully, I think every life experience can turn into something good for a child. I would even dare to say a child needs everything God gives them. 🤗For instance, I think of several good things about moving so often - such as being comfortable with change (SO necessary now and in the future), not being afraid of the new, trusting yourself to adapt and make the best of every place and situation, rooting your identity in yourself rather than external circumstances, starting over, the courage to explore etc. etc. The same goes for any other life experience.
Nothing means just one thing. Nothing is either black or white. There is so much more to life than what we come to understand or make of it. Every experience equips you with something valuable.
Life is not perfect in the way we understand perfection. I doubt there is a parent out there who can give their children everything they want for their kids, and, if they do, it doesn't mean they're also giving their children everything they need.
Trust your love for your kids, be kind to yourself and go on with your life❤
The best thing about life is you have no obligation to justify yourself. if what you say comes from truth and integrity you will be happy with yourself everyday 💛 life is hard on a good day and reflecting on what you share, you are wise beyond years and well reasoned in your comments. You should be proud of you - Strong woman 🌻
I’m sure you’re aware of her but there’s another teen mom, alex (deargreyson youtube) who is in her 20s now, has two sons, and was in an abusive (as far as I know) relationship/marriage with her sons’ father. She’s now openly out as lesbian and with a woman, so just mentioning her as someone to confide in
I realize that your generation needs to label everything but your sexuality is not meant to be labeled. Just be you and know that you don't have to explain yourself! Even as a someone with a youtube or social media platform.
We will deal with childhood issues our entire lives. Growth is the best way forward. Loving yourself and learning to move forward in growth is the greates and hardest relationship ever. I wish you the best Cam. ✌❤🌍
🙏
Their ways are not from God .
The way that you speak is so eloquent and mature. Love listening to you
We will always support you all. God bless everyone.
All I could think was how her makeup slayed and she looked so good and mature
Can someone name the video in which she speaks about the domestic abuse she went through? I must have missed it.
It’s a mix of videos where she talks about it, but the one that has that “theme” is the video called ‘saying the thing I’ve been afraid to say’
She does not describe abuse
Me: -ben fallowing for years-
Also me: YOURS THE SAME AGE AS ME?
How did i not know that
You can be Cam who loves people for who they're. ❤
No matter what we always love you cam! (And the girls too ofc)
Have you reached out to Zoey who seems to dealing w/ similar issues with her husband as you did w/ Landon? I fear that this situation may not end well.
I agree with you cam keep trying to get your life together and be there for those girls
Did your relationship with Landon change or was it always entwined with abuse? You're resilient and an incredible motivator to all in similar situations!
Being domestically abused feels lonely. It feels like you can’t find the way out. It’s mental imprisonment. Then people with no empathy or intelligence come up and ask why we didn’t say anything. Like yes let me go tell the whole world about it, like it’s great news. Ugh. Lord forgive those ignorant people.
Happy pride month and i personally go by i like who i like and that is that no need for labels for everyone
I hope you always know how strong you are 🤍 I don’t know what teen parenthood is like because I don’t have children myself, but I am 22 years old and have been through extensive trauma and I have PTSD from childhood trauma & abusive relationships. I’ve also battled suicidal depression for a long time, so in a lot of ways I can understand a lot of what you’re talking about. But you’re strong 🤍 you’re going to do amazing things in this world
I wish I’d heard someone talk about labels and sexuality the way you do when I was 14
I’m So proud of you! You’re doing amazing! Don’t let anyone tell you different! ❤
Wow, these questions really shock me. It could be because I'm older that I just understand that you're a young woman figuring life out and it just happens to involve a camera. Many people move a lot when they're young. Many people take time to figure out their sexuality. Many people struggle to figure out how to negotiate an abusive relationship. Maybe it's because you present such a put together persona that people have no concept that you could be struggling. Hugs to you. You're doing your best and those girls have a wonderful mom.
I’m not straight and I have thought sm about labels as well and I have came to terms that you can JSUT say you like who you like you don’t have to label yourself !!
its crazy to watch this now bc i at one point used to watch them all the time and haven't really in awhile and like i started watching them in like 2017 and so much had changed but its still great to come back and just watch some of the newer stuff and the older ones i usest to watch
You could also make a documentary about your life instead of a book, you know, something very professional (maybe look for a team to help you, people with experience on directing documentaries). Your story is very interesting and i'm sure a lot of people in the field would want to help you to make it happen.
Maybe instead of a book you should put your filmmaking skills to the test and do a documentary:)
No matter what you do, there’s no justification for abuse period, please don’t listen to them
Judges let it still go on
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcwhat is that supposed to mean?
Tô be honest 😊 we moved a lot when I was a kid and I never had problems at all. Now having a stable apartment I kinda miss moving 😂😂
It's still not healthy.
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcshut up nobody cares about your opinion
@@RachaelNelson-si3qcno one cares what you think. Shut it.
I’m glad your answering these questions
Love you guys so much and don’t feel like you have to answer this but would you ever think of adoption even if it’s years down the road?
Great video Cam. You are an articulate, thoughtful, intelligent young woman. I do hope you find a fulfilling, well-paying career using all your wonderful skills. It must get tiresome having to share your private life on social media in order to make money. : ). I'm rooting for you!
maybe a short documentary or like a cinematic type video to tell your story!! it would be a lot of work but i think it would be more engaging than a sit down :) of course i would watch your sit down anytime but more people would watch some type of short film
and that what would Landon think is pushing every single boundary. I dont care if you put every second on the internet. Boundaries grown ups!!
You’re so awesome Cam!!!
im having the same experience, i got asked out for the first time in my life by a guy and it made me feel anxious. The more i reflect the more i think im a lesbian, but that label doesn’t really fit me, idk what i am
We love you, Cameron, and you have a right to pick what you will share with us it is your life. ❤ And so what if you love girls there is no shame in that. Always be yourself don't change for no one. Landan loved you he gave you too beautiful girls to love for the rest of your life.
Love watching your channel! 💜
I hope you are ok after this video and I hope your kids gave you lots of hugs after this ❤
love you so much cam ❤ very very proud of u
thank you for this video, Cam
Please be careful with the dating apps I here story's all the time about that people killing kids and adults 🥺 just please be careful can much love 😊❤
You should do your book in more of a public speaking (at schools, colleges, rehabs, and womens shelters) format to raise awareness about the topics included
You are so brave.! It’s tough for anyone at any age to answer Q & A straight up. You are an amazing person!! Hopefully you know how important you are to your daughters .. I can tell you always do the best you can for them !! Also as parents we always have the best intentions for them !! We all are trying to figure things out every day, every year as we grew through this thing called “life”
Keep being you-you are amazing!! ☀️🐝🤗🐞☮️🩵
I will NEVER understand needing to LABEL yourself, you dont owe anyone a label or yourself to be labeled. You are a human that is all.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
With sexuality I would stick with queer which is just “not straight” and broad. You dont need a label and thats not something someone should care about. I have been pan since like 13, now that im 22 I still go by that label but im honestly not interested in guys sexually at all (cis) which im closer to Lesbian than pan but I just keep it Queer/Pan. There’s no rush or obligation on having a label
