I honestly had hope for this girl and then I saw on FB she passed away. As a recovering alcoholic of more years than she was alive, I know how difficult and shame filled the hole of alcoholism can be. Every minute of every day is spent in dread of how you know your day will end. I'm currently sober 2+ years and never looking back. I've learned that when I focus on the past, I'm controlled by shame. When I focus on the future I'm controlled by fear. I focus on my now because that's the only thing I have. My now is what defines me. I could've easily been Jessica in a thousand different ways. Mark, you allowed her voice to be heard. Her fears to be shared. Her burden to be lightened. At least for a brief moment in time. I'm so grateful for your channel. You give a voice to those who otherwise would remain in the shadows. RIP Jei Bee. You mattered.
WalkUpChalkUp Gang I’m gonna assume he found her at a rough patch in her life and she got better because I’d hate to see folks coming up on her lying for TH-cam !!!!! He fb says otherwise
“School was my get-away.” THIS is why I’m a teacher. Because so many kids have a safe place away from their messed up homes for at least a part of the day with someone who genuinely cares about them as a person. I think a lot of people don’t realize this aspect of school. It means the world to me.
@Tula Bear You are an awesome teacher to be so intuitive. Good work. I'm a caretaker who often calls Kids' Helpline when an on site minor appears to require it. Last week I waved my hand near a child and he cringed and tightly closed his eyes 😢
@@dkizxpt-su3ze didn’t you read the line about how she collects everyone’s lunch money and divides it evenly between the students? 😫 if you’re so concerned about what’s taught in schools it’s never too late to get a teaching degree. Go fight it on the front line rather than in the youtube comments section of a channel about how we should have compassion for and support people
Every time she mentions or hears about “family” she breaks down and starts crying. You can seriously tell that’s where she hurts the most and struggles the most.
Yes she knows were the problems are. She just doesn’t know HOW TO DO IT OR GET THERE! I work with street kids. She is saveable she just needs the right help&support!! And YES SHE IS STILL HURTING ABOUT NOT HAVING A FAMILY SUPPORT SYSTEM. As she stated she does have family just they are NOT CLOSE! So that’s why she feels so alone. And she looks to the streets for 💕 LOVE! this will go around &around until SHE WANTS TO GET &ACCEPT HELP! The drinking is I think the biggest problem .
Your totally right, having a support system especially with a family that still loves you and really cares for you helps a lot. It helped me I'm recovering and I'm loving myself to the fullest now, I can't lie I went back plenty of times back todo the same things that destroyed me but now I'm seeing I have so much potential and this is about me but then again it isn't all about me, people look up to me and love me so I must do right cause changing my life I can change others with my story and that's what motivates me more.
Juan gutierrez @AMEN MY BROTHER!✊🏾👏🏼 first congratulations on your recovery! Second I look up to you!!!

Somebody please help this young woman. Give her a place to sleep and shower and eat. There has to be someone feeling like I do that has the resources to help her with getting help and adopting her into a family. I wish I had what she needs. She cries every time she mentions family. I’m so sad watching her😢
I offered her one 🔥 You're welcome too ...'Brad From Carolina' channel is a ministry with a powerful community in the live chat. Good way to find your way, Lost. 🙏🏻❤👊🏻
She's not tired....she just said she rayher prostitute herself than strip and pay taxes even tho she has no bills. Sounds like she's okay with it to me
datchiq-kae did you watch the video? she’s clearly not happy with the life she’s living she has goals of opening a restaurant etc but has no support to do this
0:45 School was her safe place. My heartbreaks for all the children that, due to covid, are isolated and suffering because they can’t go to school. This pandemic will see more people suffer from mandatory isolation than the virus itself.
well dying from the virus presents itself as the first threat, the mental health affects will definitely come in time...but immediately I am concerned about the virus for my kids. Of course children in abusive households it is more immediate because they are overdue from being removed from their homes in the first place. But if you have a "normal " household, the virus feels like the most immediate obstacle.
School was where I went 2 hv fun. Home was my parents yelling & fighting. We never knew what 2 expect. I got a bad grade & I was Grounded for the entire semester. It's not like I was allowed 2 go much of anywhere when I wasn't grounded. So I just went to school 2 enjoy the freedom of not being abused. A class clown who didn't take classes seriously because no matter how hard I tried, it wasn't going 2 b good enough. I worry about the kids eating when school's not in session.
Amen the only drugs booze especially can convince you you're 👌 and something wrong with people places and things if only they would be as I wish I'd be alright been there she's still has a chance!! I was 32 when I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired!! She'll need to want to live more than she wants to die!! I 🙏 she's gets the help she needs a beautiful young woman with a story to tell she's made a beginning she's speaking to the world it's her story real or unreal 🙏 💕
I totally felt her on this. Anyone can be a mom, but if that mom doesn’t give you direction, make you feel good about yourself and is just a POS to their kids , it’s neglect and leaves you feeling like nothing and no one can be trusted and life is worthless. I felt her when she kept saying “I have no one , no one”
She’s a little girl in a 29 y/o body. You can turn it around but only you can do it. You won’t magically wake up sober. You gotta start caring for yourself
@@fghfghsrtsrthsrthsrt5968 ok But I think he does For me I m not religeous but very spiritual Religion s Man made God's everywhere and everything It I get ya I didn t believe for a long time either Then he saved me And I realized he d been with me all along I ve bee a criminal a junkie a violent perpetrator And a victim of all forms of abuse But I m happy and free today With lots of work and God I achieved it I have ptsd and some mental health issues but sober and alive So Thanks
I HATE when people say that because you're an adult, you should be able to get past your childhood. What do THEY know if they were never abused or abandoned or saw abuse?! What do they really know? I'm living proof that it does not work that way. To some degree I'm a functioning adult who has done well, but that hurt child will never leave me. Never.
The truth is most aren't 'past it', especially the people who tell you that. At best, they've just buried it and it's coming out in other parts of their lives, particularly relationships, and they don't even realize it.
I've been saying this exact same thing for years. When I was raising my son (now 30), I used to observe other mothers that were just checked out and selfish. It used to frustrate me a lot.
School was her only safe place, this is why the pandemic has been especially cruel to some school age students. School is where they found love and acceptance, poor kids, damn life can be hard!
Bobby Schaffer yeah thru my journey of getting clean I found service work and volunteering to help people to be very rewarding to me and I takes a whole lot for me to judge or at least look down upon someone for anything now as long as you and abusing kids in anyway at all or putting your hands on a woman who am I to say anything cuz I’ve been there to anyone struggling right now just know your an amazing person and you can do it whatever it is
Having a stable home and loving parents will shape you for your entire life. Children are so impressionable. So many of these people in the interviews I’ve watched were failed so tragically by their parents. It makes me cherish more that I grew up in a stable home with both my mom and dad who loved and protected me
Childhood Trauma...i feel her pain, her despair, hopelessness. She has said numerous times, "I don't have anyone". She is lost, and needs someone who can see her for the vulnerable lady, who is stuck as that young little girl, who only wanted to be loved.
I like her so much. She's the most relatable person on here that ive seen. Shes STRONG. you can tell. If you are that strong girl you can pull yourself up. Shes very much able to turn shit around. 💗💗💗💗 If you see this girl.. Don't give up
Booze was the one thing my mom used to kick my ass for. She knew I smoked weed for a reason so she didn’t necessarily leave it alone, she one day just asked me what’s wring. All addictions aren’t it, but being a drunk is heavy shit...
I'm 6 months sober, giving up was a nightmare...hallucinating, vomiting, shaking, not sleeping for 3 straight days. It was awful. After going through all that, I was told that there are drugs out there that prevent the craving and others that make you physically sick if alcohol is consumed...good luck girl, I hope you manage it
I know where she is coming from. I had a very traumatic, lonely childhood. I battled with alcohol addiction from my teenager years till I was 30. It's hard to know where to go or what to do when you have no one. She has so much potential, she just has low self esteem. She deserves happiness, she just needs help.
I truly admire her honesty. She says “I have a really bad drinking problem” which is rare to hear, even though that problem is all too common. I feel like she has sooooo much potential to get it together. But then again we aren’t seeing the problem she’s speaking of, and with a 7 year old son this problem has clearly gone on for a long time. Prayers to her
She very well may need outside counseling to deal with trauma, but she most certainly needs the 12 steps of AA. Sometimes rehab is good at first as well though
My gf went to rehab and was doing AA. I went with her to support her, jeez that was incredibly hard. I broke down listening to all their storys, it definitely seemed to work for them though! Half the ladies there were seniors and had been going for years.
Rehab and AA are band-aids for the actual root of the issue .... Which stems from childhood. You can't recover an addict until you recover the inner child.
@Bill Jones no you don't need to profess a belief in a God. It's about having faith in a higher power... That can translate to nature or the universe. AA, ACoA and Alanon are all non secular and don't require a God. I'm an atheist and a member of ACoA.
As a Dad I just wish I could wrap my arms around these girls who've been cheated out of their childhood and somehow convince them that there are people in the world who care about them. It breaks my heart that they've been used and abused like they have. Jessica and others that he's interviewed didn't have to end up this way, all they needed was a little love and encouragement.
Your children are blessed to have a father like you. I was in an abusive relationship, and I called my father to ask him for help to get away from my abuser. He told me I need to suck it up and figure it out on my own. I had never asked him for anything in my life. Please teach your daughters how to love and respect themselves and teach them how to set boundaries and never compromise on them. I was never taught any of this, and I ended up in abusive relationship after abusive relationship.
@@jewelsbarbie I'm so sorry Dads should PROTECT THEIR DAUGHTERS TIL THE DAY THEY DIE....YOUR Heavenly FATHER will never let you down...KNOW that .GOOD LUCK
Jessica please start fighting for yourself and your son! You do have someone, Your Son needs his mother. This is why in order to recover we must get out of our own heads, I know I used to feel sorry for myself and didn't think I deserved better and I was very selfish. Please get into recovery, praying for you🖤
I used to feel like this girl and my family situation was VERY similar, I crawled out of the hole with spirituality, therapy, studying people I wanted to be like, and journaling... the sooner I realized that nobody was gonna love me until I loved myself the better off I was.
I love how so many of these people at the end of the interview say they were not expecting such an emotional experience and how they feel better for having expressed their feelings and spoken their story. Mark you know you are doing something good for humanity when you hear that at the end.
I’m so sorry for this lady. How can someone be expected to know what to do if they’ve had any guidance. A previous comment mentions that she has passed away. That’s sad. All of us deserve a chance no matter what our life has been. Soft white underbelly gives the stories of those who don’t have a voice. Thank you. When I can I will be supporting your channel. You guys are doing what Studs Turkel used to do. He interviewed the regular folks and gave them a voice, just like you. Bless you and the folks you talk to. No one should be forgotten. 🙏
I'm deeply saddened to read that Jessica passed. She had great potential I think. I was going to write her a message but now I see this. I'm so sorry Jessica. You deserved your dreams. 😢❤
Watched this interview and read the comments. Mostly supportive, which is great but some claiming she is a fraud etc. Well, since this interview she has died. For those of you who claimed fraud and doubted, as i see on many of these videos. Your inability to have human empathy is a reflection of the society that ends up creating the tragic situations, stories and outcomes that this channel shows. They should not have to die to be believed. Take a good long look at your broken selves and realise, in another life, it could have been you. Soft white underbelly - keep up the amazing work. Very sad and rest in peace. Hoping you find the peace you never got to find in this life.
Sometimes when you drink repetitively it all goes by so swiftly and smooth you don’t even realize how badly you’ve hurt yourself. She needs a chance. 😔
I had to stop and say that's such an amazing comment, really hit me. It really sums up why recovery is so tough once you get past the physical withdrawals. You are left to think about all that damage, support is the only way you can start to heal
To you and the the people co-signing this comment you don’t know that. Her son is living with his father. So more than likely he has him. And he probably has a lot of people that love him of his fathers side of the family. His upbringing could literally be the total opposite of his moms. That’s a big assumption that y’all are making blindly.
This is a prime example of the need for understanding and mercy. Lost souls, the hard- hearted, and those that are “criminals”, many truly never had support, love, and care. Babies that raise themselves. Imagine that. We can’t change the past, but we can be kinder to one another.
Watching this girl breaks my heart. It makes my problems seem so silly. When she says she has these guys helping me, and starts crying, she knows they arent helping her. They are using and abusing her.
It's so frustrating to hear the classic, I did this to screw up, so I did this thing to make myself feel better about screwing up. And then they drop the bomb in the middle of it that they have kid(s). The spiral of abuse is a merry go round that people very rarely get off.
@@TaylorM6668 So tell me, assuming that the cycle of abuse and neglect repeats into the next generation, at what point will you stop feeling sorry for the children and write them off as you do their mother? At what point are the children no longer innocent?
Laurie Herdman This grown ADULT is exactly that an ADULT who knows better. I stick by my original statement. They should also stop the abusive cycles by NOT having children. ✌️
@@TaylorM6668 people can't handle that apparently. The more poor and careless they are, the more unprotected sex they have. It's like asking a hungry person not to eat. They will never be able to handle having safe sex
You can tell she’s genuinely tired & she wants more out of life. She needs to learn how to celebrate her accomplishments. She has a job, most don’t she should pat herself on the back for accomplishing that milestone.
God please don't break her? Are you serious? And God can't make her do anything, not even accept Him. God doesn't make people end up like her, Satan is the one. He works through others to help her destroy her life.
Talon Sharp thank you saw that too. It’s Satan and his minions who are doing the “damaging” our Father in heaven is long suffering He will wait for her. The Lord will never EVER violate anyone free will.
Its crazy to me How in America we charge Young women for being intoxicated and unconscious, us putting them in jail Will only make it worse, THEY NEED HELP
I agree, they dont need jail. I Honestly dont see too many intoxicated women going to jail..I see more men going to jail from being intoxicated on the streets..women tend to get more help especially when they're pretty.
Yeah for real because they are not harming anyone but themselves and then society is built to harm them because they are easy prey for this corrupt Jail/prison system just to make money for the people in charge by taking our money and put the inmate in misery while they take the money for themselves when they could easily put them in a rehab program and set them up. We need change! So much corruption, this is not what America is supposed to be like! This nation is built on a dream and it needs to take that dream back by getting rid of these cold blooded reptiles!
I truly pray you are able to "walk into the building" soon. If you work AA you will find the family you crave. I promise you that there is light and life out there for you.
@@marylougeorge9890 You're right, occasionally I get frustrated with certain people on SWU I'm sure that says as much about me as it does about that person.
Mark, thank you for these interviews - this one especially I felt really touched by. I do have a completely different life than she has, but still could feel similaritys. Thank you Mark and Jessica for sharing your story. Hope you get back on track, I feel you, keep it up.
I’m so happy I was strong enough to not fall on my dads foot steps . I was around drugs with friends but even at 15 I knew better to say no. . Now I’m happy still living with my parents to help them and help me save money for my own home . Stay strong everyone
Rest in heaven baby girl she passed away last night they found her in her hotel room dead cause of death unknown at the time 😭😭😭😢😢 one of my closest friends gone way to soon!!! Pray for her son please
Hill Banx why? Because mainlining crystal meth or heroin laced with fentanyl is “better”? I’m just curious. I did hard drugs and mainly switched to alcohol and although in a way I feel weak because of it some days, a numbing agent is just that. I feel where she is at, knowing what she needs to do, lacking the support or momentum to move towards it. If you read this, Jessica you can get there and find people to hold you up until you can hold yourself up. Alcohol will kill us if we continue to drink. I’m on a similar journey. I hope you can find a woman’s recovery house or long term treatment maybe..
@djbusdown well I just got out of ip. I relapsed on it 3 weeks ago I scored it in bmore and fell out pretty fast I can say that and it didn’t feel like my “old days” tastes it was pretty scary but apparently nothing is scary enough for some... I’m not sure what I’m thinking anymore
I’ve been binge watching these videos and so many of these girls are so intelligent, well spoken, and introspective despite their traumas and addictions. So many are desperate to help themselves. As a society, as a country, we must find ways to help them. Jessica, I’m sending a virtual hug and sincere wishes that you get your cleaning business off the ground before too long. And then on to the restaurant!
You're a beautiful lady & 29 is a good age to get sober for us alcoholics . It's encouraging to hear you mention A.A. There's some great ladies in A.A. who once felt or feel the way you do . You don't have to be alone . One alcoholic helping another . You have alot to live for & you are definitely worth it . May God keep you till then . Praying helps alot especially when we're down on our selves . ( Edited I just read comments that she died ). I'm sad . I will think of you to remember today maybe all we have to take a moment & not shy away from making contact in someone's life & extending a hand & a smile .. Or a tear
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes I can relate so badly. I remember getting into jail for public intoxication. That shit scared the shit outta me. I worked regularly for 3 years and lost my job now to covid so now I'm just floating. Man she really speak to me. I hope she pulls through!!!! Much luv to her!
Yup same . It was a message I needed to hear as well. Did you know she passed away too??? Sooo sad. Sending prayers her way still and forever ❤️🙏🏻 and to you too ☺️👍🏻
I keep seeing comments about how these videos should be shown in high schools. As a high school teacher for 15 years, I'm here to tell you that will never happen. Even if every parent was ok with it (which will never happen) the school board would shut that idea down asap. I got in big trouble for showing episodes of Intervention in my high school health class during our unit on drugs and alcohol. Yes, some parents would be ok with it but again, that depends on where you live and when it comes to making something part of a curriculum, you're going to need a large majority of parents giving the "ok" and then the school board needs to also agree. A lot of you don't understand how many students in each class come from super religious families who demand that they preview movies before they're shown to their child and sex ed classes are taboo for them, as well as certain holidays. Yes, some teachers can show these videos but making it mandatory across the nation? Keep dreaming. I would love to see these videos as part of the curriculum but after the hell I went through after showing Intervention, I've let go of that idea a long time ago.
@@monicapyle i have to wonder…if those who are in position of power within the school districts are mentally healthy. If they are not, then how can they make mentally sound decisions for children if they themselves are not mentally healthy. Which leads them incapable of understanding of, self awareness. Children are committing serious crimes and fatally harming themselves. Yeah, am beginning to believe the school system is partially to blame. Thank you for helping me understand.
If only she had had a single person in her life that cherished and valued her and offered her a soft place to land. Her story would have turned out far different I think. RIP Jessica. So sad.
she doesn't want the help bro, that's what all the soft hearted women don't understand. it's a complete flip from if this was a man. you are 100% correct though and that's the issue here. a man not in his childs life still on the street with options available would get no excuse. this is not a sad or sweet story. she is choosing this life and couldn't care less about her kids. i wish i knew why the reality is so hard for people to accept. no excuses when you're responsible for another life.
idky, but of all the interviews i am drawn to Jessica the most. she reminds me so much of my sister. I want her to know her worth. I want her to know that she can change her life with just a little help. Everyone is so quick to say she needs rehab or AA, but therapy will touch the depression and the trauma. She needs to see the beauty that is within her
Kay Jeanae you made me cry with your statement. You are so right 💜💕 I want so deeply in my soul for this girl to change for the better and make the right choices in her life that will lead her back to her son with no chains or shame 💜🙏🦋
@@minibikemedia you dont know what a person is going through or what they have been through by what their social media says... she might have lied about some things... but doesnt mean its all a lie
@@kayjeanae919 she didn’t lie about anything westmontvtv is a troll trying to draw attention to his account. If anything she held back. A lot of the pictures on her face book are recycled and old as a lot of females do. R.I.P Jessica bullock.
Her story is similar to mine. My single mom and my step mom were both very crazy women (I don't blame any of them but it wasn't ideal for kids to be around them at times). I moved out at 15 and school was also my getaway. Had too many boyfriends and I was abused, but luckily I also had good people who helped me to grow up with more confidence.
When one of the only places during COVID-19 that NEEDED to remain open along side health care facilities was the local bottle shop, you know alcoholism is some heavy shit
I wish people would stop standing in judgement. She has not had the guidance. She doesn't even know that sexual abuse is Abuse. This country would rather make more prisons, than help young people. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.
First of all hugs to Jessica! I am so glad you talked to Mark, it was clearly therapeutic for you. I could tell it made you feel better. Keep at, go talk to a therapist, you can do it! Both my dad and oldest brother are alcoholics and I love them but they have broken the family. We are so enmeshed with one another we all need counseling. I know Jessica can do it! Gonna pray for her.
mizrel61 mizrel61 drug dealers, but there could be a billion drug dealers, but it’s up to the individuals to stop. So what you’re saying doesn’t really matter
All addiction is bad. However, alcohol is straight up nasty. Alcoholics are some of the meanest, most destructive people there are. Not to mention it's one of the most dangerous addictions.
My Dad was an alcoholic who got sober in AA. He was sober for 21 years before he died. He was a kind, funny, smart & hard working man. I am not ashamed that he was an alcoholic. He was an orphan at 11 years old & was abused in foster care. My Mom who supposedly wasn't an alcoholic was physically abusive but I do not remember my Dad being physically abusive. Even when he was drinking. My brother is an active alcoholic but I know underneath he is a very good compassionate person. He hasn't hit his bottom. His wife has stayed & he has a phenomal job making 6 figures. His kids have lots of problems though. I went to Alanon for many years as an Adult Child of an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a family disease. I am currently a member of OA. I compulsively overate to deal with life. I never had a drinking problem. It wasn't for me. I think my Dad was the good example & my older brother a bad example.
Through out my covid lockdown here ive been binging on these interviews... and I hope it makes me a better father and person. Its opened my eyes not to judge folk so quickly cause you just never know
It's bad everywhere, Mark is just shining a light on it in one spot in California. Look at his interviews of people in West Virginia. It is everywhere, all over the world...
I love California im glad i live here i do not like people from NYC they talk a lot of mad shit about cali and brag about about their 5 Burroughs in NYC,Fuck NY AND NYC!
Your goals are more than realistic! Make posts on Facebook to do cleaning. You don’t need a whole lot to get it started. My aunt started her own cleaning business like 30 years ago. She went from nothing, to very comfortable. You can do it. I believe in you. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, even if you don’t see it, it’s there. It’s awesome that you have a job. It’s rare to see that on this channel. You’re blessed to have a job during this pandemic. I can definitely relate to you about your mother. My mom and I do not get along AT ALL. She has told me she hates me and wish she never had me as well. I moved out at 18 and was “stuck” in an abusive relationship for 3 years. Had a son with him. My mom is an addict. So I could never become how she is. After YEARS of suffering. Working shitty jobs, being abused by my sons dad. I escaped. I always have had anger and attitude problems so it has made it hard for people to love me. But I found my other half. We have a home and I have a decent job. I never thought I’d make it out. And I did. You can too. I promise
Hey Bro... I feel like you showld hug these people when you finish the interview, a Hug is more medicinal than words... I just feel this is the only thing missing to this channel... Some people you just have to hug them. Love
Sounds to me like she could have family but she’s letting the typical adolescence stuff get in the way of mending her relationship. She has a cousin but there must be a trust issue if they’ll only let her sleep in the car. I would imagine there’s things being left out of the story. She must have burnt a bunch of bridges. But she can turn it around. Stay away from the booze and start holding yourself accountable for your own life.
Person being interviewed: yea so right now I’m sleeping in cars and sometimes a 24 hour laundry mat. Interviewer: oh ok so you’re homeless? Where do you sleep? .... 😑 Duuuuuude, Come On
He only ask these questions to make the person being interviewed think about their CHILDREN and think about their living situation! And thats why he ask those questions she has a choice and she has options thats what mark trying to make these people see and think. Right now is not the end and not the only option. It gets better when you try harder
She can go to school for free, she has no real income. Apply for financial aid to go to culinary school and/or go to Salvation Army to help with the alcohol addiction. She can get housing with the financial aid.
Yes check out your lo al community action agencies. Your local income base AA groups/ Rehabs and Voc Rehabs for schooling. There are so many great resources you just have to find them , stick with them and work hard
Try to find a rehab that will take you. When I went to rehab I met some of the nicest people in the world. People who could relate when I thought I was alone. You can change your life.
Just go to an AA meeting. Sit, listen and wait until you feel like you can start to make the changes. We can see that you're tired of this life. We want to see you succeed!
She'll need detox first rehabilitation with round the clock meetings more than likely co-depentence. A also the meetings are all now on zoom for the moment Minnie 🏠 osias House Los Angeles California we're wishing her the best the program or for those who want it not need it!! Good luck baby girl I'm cheering for you!! God can and will if he is sought 🙏
Praying for her, she can turn this around she’s so young and has so much potential. So sad to see these people having to turn to these things to survive. Breaks my heart.
I recommended this channel to my daughter who is an influential high school teacher in Alameda county and said it should be mandatory in high school curriculum. I’m hopeful.
I honestly had hope for this girl and then I saw on FB she passed away. As a recovering alcoholic of more years than she was alive, I know how difficult and shame filled the hole of alcoholism can be.

So Sorry to Hear she Passed :(
I’ve learned from watching these videos that when kids aren’t cared for they are sitting ducks for predators.
You are correct.💯
It's disgusting that there are people that prey on the vulnerable but it's a sad reality ☹️
I feel for this girl. Somebody tell her about Jesus. He loves her.

“School was my get-away.” THIS is why I’m a teacher. Because so many kids have a safe place away from their messed up homes for at least a part of the day with someone who genuinely cares about them as a person. I think a lot of people don’t realize this aspect of school. It means the world to me.
@Tula Bear You are an awesome teacher to be so intuitive. Good work. I'm a caretaker who often calls Kids' Helpline when an on site minor appears to require it. Last week I waved my hand near a child and he cringed and tightly closed his eyes 😢

Every time she mentions or hears about “family” she breaks down and starts crying. You can seriously tell that’s where she hurts the most and struggles the most.
What’s really is even more sad is she is truly an alcoholic... she even said she doesn’t want to give it up /:
Yes she knows were the problems are. She just doesn’t know HOW TO DO IT OR GET THERE! I work with street kids. She is saveable she just needs the right help&support!! And YES SHE IS STILL HURTING ABOUT NOT HAVING A FAMILY SUPPORT SYSTEM. As she stated she does have family just they are NOT CLOSE! So that’s why she feels so alone. And she looks to the streets for 💕 LOVE! this will go around &around until SHE WANTS TO GET &ACCEPT HELP! The drinking is I think the biggest problem .
Your totally right, having a support system especially with a family that still loves you and really cares for you helps a lot. It helped me I'm recovering and I'm loving myself to the fullest now, I can't lie I went back plenty of times back todo the same things that destroyed me but now I'm seeing I have so much potential and this is about me but then again it isn't all about me, people look up to me and love me so I must do right cause changing my life I can change others with my story and that's what motivates me more.

@IVELINA How do u know?
0:45 School was her safe place. My heartbreaks for all the children that, due to covid, are isolated and suffering because they can’t go to school.
This pandemic will see more people suffer from mandatory isolation than the virus itself.
Melissa B I Thank God for school, both my parents were physically abusive... and my dad was also sexually abusive. School was my place of peace
well dying from the virus presents itself as the first threat, the mental health affects will definitely come in time...but immediately I am concerned about the virus for my kids. Of course children in abusive households it is more immediate because they are overdue from being removed from their homes in the first place. But if you have a "normal " household, the virus feels like the most immediate obstacle.
School was where I went 2 hv fun. Home was my parents yelling & fighting. We never knew what 2 expect. I got a bad grade & I was Grounded for the entire semester. It's not like I was allowed 2 go much of anywhere when I wasn't grounded. So I just went to school 2 enjoy the freedom of not being abused. A class clown who didn't take classes seriously because no matter how hard I tried, it wasn't going 2 b good enough.
I worry about the kids eating when school's not in session.

I HATE when people say that because you're an adult, you should be able to get past your childhood. What do THEY know if they were never abused or abandoned or saw abuse?! What do they really know? I'm living proof that it does not work that way. To some degree I'm a functioning adult who has done well, but that hurt child will never leave me. Never.
The truth is most aren't 'past it', especially the people who tell you that. At best, they've just buried it and it's coming out in other parts of their lives, particularly relationships, and they don't even realize it.

Bobby Schaffer yeah thru my journey of getting clean I found service work and volunteering to help people to be very rewarding to me and I takes a whole lot for me to judge or at least look down upon someone for anything now as long as you and abusing kids in anyway at all or putting your hands on a woman who am I to say anything cuz I’ve been there to anyone struggling right now just know your an amazing person and you can do it whatever it is

She looks so tired.. I wish there was a place where these women could stay without being on the street
Me too but women homeless shelters are not safe alot of drama goes on in there ppl stealing your stuff

Yeah, there is a place where she can stay. Your house
John Smith how about your house
Having a stable home and loving parents will shape you for your entire life. Children are so impressionable. So many of these people in the interviews I’ve watched were failed so tragically by their parents. It makes me cherish more that I grew up in a stable home with both my mom and dad who loved and protected me
Childhood Trauma...i feel her pain, her despair, hopelessness. She has said numerous times, "I don't have anyone". She is lost, and needs someone who can see her for the vulnerable lady, who is stuck as that young little girl, who only wanted to be loved.

@@keciapowell4608 I agree meth is also another drug that is a gateway to hell
I'm 6 months sober, giving up was a nightmare...hallucinating, vomiting, shaking, not sleeping for 3 straight days. It was awful. After going through all that, I was told that there are drugs out there that prevent the craving and others that make you physically sick if alcohol is consumed...good luck girl, I hope you manage it
I know where she is coming from. I had a very traumatic, lonely childhood. I battled with alcohol addiction from my teenager years till I was 30. It's hard to know where to go or what to do when you have no one. She has so much potential, she just has low self esteem. She deserves happiness, she just needs help.
I truly admire her honesty. She says “I have a really bad drinking problem” which is rare to hear, even though that problem is all too common. I feel like she has sooooo much potential to get it together. But then again we aren’t seeing the problem she’s speaking of, and with a 7 year old son this problem has clearly gone on for a long time. Prayers to her
Apparently she has passed away.
"People say I need AA, but I think I need counseling"
She needs rehab!
She very well may need outside counseling to deal with trauma, but she most certainly needs the 12 steps of AA. Sometimes rehab is good at first as well though
My gf went to rehab and was doing AA. I went with her to support her, jeez that was incredibly hard. I broke down listening to all their storys, it definitely seemed to work for them though! Half the ladies there were seniors and had been going for years.
Bill Jones I don’t remember it being a religious thing. But it was quite a while ago now. Is it normally religious? I didn’t think it was.
Rehab and AA are band-aids for the actual root of the issue ....
Which stems from childhood.
You can't recover an addict until you recover the inner child.
@Bill Jones no you don't need to profess a belief in a God.
It's about having faith in a higher power... That can translate to nature or the universe.
AA, ACoA and Alanon are all non secular and don't require a God.
I'm an atheist and a member of ACoA.
As a Dad I just wish I could wrap my arms around these girls who've been cheated out of their childhood and somehow convince them that there are people in the world who care about them. It breaks my heart that they've been used and abused like they have. Jessica and others that he's interviewed didn't have to end up this way, all they needed was a little love and encouragement.
Excellent comment
Youre a good Dad.I wish I had that too
Your children are blessed to have a father like you. I was in an abusive relationship, and I called my father to ask him for help to get away from my abuser. He told me I need to suck it up and figure it out on my own. I had never asked him for anything in my life.
Please teach your daughters how to love and respect themselves and teach them how to set boundaries and never compromise on them. I was never taught any of this, and I ended up in abusive relationship after abusive relationship.

Please get into recovery, praying for you🖤
She passed away in December 😢
I used to feel like this girl and my family situation was VERY similar, I crawled out of the hole with spirituality, therapy, studying people I wanted to be like, and journaling... the sooner I realized that nobody was gonna love me until I loved myself the better off I was.

To you and the the people co-signing this comment you don’t know that. Her son is living with his father. So more than likely he has him. And he probably has a lot of people that love him of his fathers side of the family. His upbringing could literally be the total opposite of his moms. That’s a big assumption that y’all are making blindly.

@@moehammondmedia He may have people around who love him but NOT his mother! That's a lifelong deep scar for the abandoned child/adult to carry.
This is a prime example of the need for understanding and mercy. Lost souls, the hard- hearted, and those that are “criminals”, many truly never had support, love, and care. Babies that raise themselves. Imagine that. We can’t change the past, but we can be kinder to one another.
Watching this girl breaks my heart. It makes my problems seem so silly. When she says she has these guys helping me, and starts crying, she knows they arent helping her. They are using and abusing her.
It's so frustrating to hear the classic, I did this to screw up, so I did this thing to make myself feel better about screwing up. And then they drop the bomb in the middle of it that they have kid(s). The spiral of abuse is a merry go round that people very rarely get off.

Its crazy to me How in America we charge Young women for being intoxicated and unconscious, us putting them in jail Will only make it worse, THEY NEED HELP
I agree, they dont need jail. I Honestly dont see too many intoxicated women going to jail..I see more men going to jail from being intoxicated on the streets..women tend to get more help especially when they're pretty.
Any one in general especially young kids.
Yeah for real because they are not harming anyone but themselves and then society is built to harm them because they are easy prey for this corrupt Jail/prison system just to make money for the people in charge by taking our money and put the inmate in misery while they take the money for themselves when they could easily put them in a rehab program and set them up. We need change! So much corruption, this is not what America is supposed to be like! This nation is built on a dream and it needs to take that dream back by getting rid of these cold blooded reptiles!

This channel needs to start allowing the viewers to help the ones that want out. Reaching out and communicating with them etc.
I keep seeing comments about how these videos should be shown in high schools. As a high school teacher for 15 years, I'm here to tell you that will never happen. Even if every parent was ok with it (which will never happen) the school board would shut that idea down asap. I got in big trouble for showing episodes of Intervention in my high school health class during our unit on drugs and alcohol. Yes, some parents would be ok with it but again, that depends on where you live and when it comes to making something part of a curriculum, you're going to need a large majority of parents giving the "ok" and then the school board needs to also agree. A lot of you don't understand how many students in each class come from super religious families who demand that they preview movies before they're shown to their child and sex ed classes are taboo for them, as well as certain holidays. Yes, some teachers can show these videos but making it mandatory across the nation? Keep dreaming. I would love to see these videos as part of the curriculum but after the hell I went through after showing Intervention, I've let go of that idea a long time ago.
Why would the school board be opposed to including videos of this nature to classroom curriculum?

@@Inkironnrum I
agree. it should be in schools. Unfortunately, others don't feel the same
@@monicapyle i have to wonder…if those who are in position of power within the school districts are mentally healthy. If they are not, then how can they make mentally sound decisions for children if they themselves are not mentally healthy. Which leads them incapable of understanding of, self awareness. Children are committing serious crimes and fatally harming themselves. Yeah, am beginning to believe the school system is partially to blame. Thank you for helping me understand.
I know from experience. Jessica needs love and support. She is worth so much more than people grant her
If only she had had a single person in her life that cherished and valued her and offered her a soft place to land. Her story would have turned out far different I think. RIP Jessica. So sad.
So many organizations that will help her, she just needs the guidance.
she doesn't want the help bro, that's what all the soft hearted women don't understand. it's a complete flip from if this was a man. you are 100% correct though and that's the issue here. a man not in his childs life still on the street with options available would get no excuse. this is not a sad or sweet story. she is choosing this life and couldn't care less about her kids. i wish i knew why the reality is so hard for people to accept. no excuses when you're responsible for another life.
@Hopeless in Nyc Neither are yours or the others wanting to put so much sympathy on women choosing this life and not their children.
idky, but of all the interviews i am drawn to Jessica the most. she reminds me so much of my sister.
I want her to know her worth. I want her to know that she can change her life with just a little help. Everyone is so quick to say she needs rehab or AA, but therapy will touch the depression and the trauma. She needs to see the beauty that is within her
Yeah I agree. Therapy would be such a big help for her. A good start at least❤️
Kay Jeanae you made me cry with your statement. You are so right 💜💕 I want so deeply in my soul for this girl to change for the better and make the right choices in her life that will lead her back to her son with no chains or shame 💜🙏🦋
Jessica Bullock is a liar just look at her life on Facebook:Jei Bee
@@minibikemedia you dont know what a person is going through or what they have been through by what their social media says... she might have lied about some things... but doesnt mean its all a lie
@@kayjeanae919 she didn’t lie about anything westmontvtv is a troll trying to draw attention to his account. If anything she held back. A lot of the pictures on her face book are recycled and old as a lot of females do. R.I.P Jessica bullock.
She don't feel because some people fake sadly she reminds me of how I use to be
@Gordon Payne FUCK YA BITCH..
Gordon Payne stop liking your own comments
@@bobfronsdahl634 hey Bob! You talk some real good truth🇬🇧
@Gordon Payne why do u have to be so mean? Gosh thats horrible. Its sad u cant see her beautifulness.
Mannnn facts i swear shes so beautiful im literally her was her
Her story is similar to mine. My single mom and my step mom were both very crazy women (I don't blame any of them but it wasn't ideal for kids to be around them at times). I moved out at 15 and school was also my getaway. Had too many boyfriends and I was abused, but luckily I also had good people who helped me to grow up with more confidence.
When one of the only places during COVID-19 that NEEDED to remain open along side health care facilities was the local bottle shop, you know alcoholism is some heavy shit
I wish people would stop standing in judgement. She has not had the guidance. She doesn't even know that sexual abuse is Abuse. This country would rather make more prisons, than help young people. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.
First of all hugs to Jessica! I am so glad you talked to Mark, it was clearly therapeutic for you. I could tell it made you feel better. Keep at, go talk to a therapist, you can do it!
Both my dad and oldest brother are alcoholics and I love them but they have broken the family. We are so enmeshed with one another we all need counseling.
I know Jessica can do it! Gonna pray for her.
"A man, has as many masters, as he has vices". Saint Augustine.
True, but who pedals, profits, and Permits the"Vices"?
What does that mean?
It means that if you don't control your appetites, whoever controls the appetites will control you.
mizrel61 mizrel61 drug dealers, but there could be a billion drug dealers, but it’s up to the individuals to stop. So what you’re saying doesn’t really matter
Devansh Kamdar hahaha
All addiction is bad. However, alcohol is straight up nasty. Alcoholics are some of the meanest, most destructive people there are. Not to mention it's one of the most dangerous addictions.
Ruined families for centuries! Definitely a downer in society
My Dad was an alcoholic who got sober in AA. He was sober for 21 years before he died. He was a kind, funny, smart & hard working man. I am not ashamed that he was an alcoholic. He was an orphan at 11 years old & was abused in foster care. My Mom who supposedly wasn't an alcoholic was physically abusive but I do not remember my Dad being physically abusive. Even when he was drinking. My brother is an active alcoholic but I know underneath he is a very good compassionate person. He hasn't hit his bottom. His wife has stayed & he has a phenomal job making 6 figures. His kids have lots of problems though. I went to Alanon for many years as an Adult Child of an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a family disease. I am currently a member of OA. I compulsively overate to deal with life. I never had a drinking problem. It wasn't for me. I think my Dad was the good example & my older brother a bad example.
This lol
There is nothing worse
Hmm I disagree.
Through out my covid lockdown here ive been binging on these interviews... and I hope it makes me a better father and person. Its opened my eyes not to judge folk so quickly cause you just never know
You seem like a smart lady. I’m sure with the right support you could make a clean change with your life.
I want to be that support for her. For real. Hopefully I figure out to contact her.
These people love the streets. Even if you try to help her, she wouldn't appreciate it or do anything with it
She is dead, passed in December... RIP....😢
@@sophiawatson1970 Really what happened??
Yikes California seems to be the worst...
It's bad everywhere, Mark is just shining a light on it in one spot in California. Look at his interviews of people in West Virginia. It is everywhere, all over the world...
KDubya W yeah I know...but it feels like most of it is in California.
California is pretty shitty and to add to that high rent. I hate it but to each its own!
That's why Joe Rogan is moving out
I love California im glad i live here i do not like people from NYC they talk a lot of mad shit about cali and brag about about their 5 Burroughs in NYC,Fuck NY AND NYC!
Holy cow, I can relate to the way she feels 100%.
Yea totally the same 🙏🏻
Your goals are more than realistic! Make posts on Facebook to do cleaning. You don’t need a whole lot to get it started. My aunt started her own cleaning business like 30 years ago. She went from nothing, to very comfortable. You can do it. I believe in you. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, even if you don’t see it, it’s there. It’s awesome that you have a job. It’s rare to see that on this channel. You’re blessed to have a job during this pandemic. I can definitely relate to you about your mother. My mom and I do not get along AT ALL. She has told me she hates me and wish she never had me as well. I moved out at 18 and was “stuck” in an abusive relationship for 3 years. Had a son with him. My mom is an addict. So I could never become how she is. After YEARS of suffering. Working shitty jobs, being abused by my sons dad. I escaped. I always have had anger and attitude problems so it has made it hard for people to love me. But I found my other half. We have a home and I have a decent job. I never thought I’d make it out. And I did. You can too. I promise
I like your positive comment !
Hey Bro... I feel like you showld hug these people when you finish the interview, a Hug is more medicinal than words... I just feel this is the only thing missing to this channel... Some people you just have to hug them. Love
Sounds to me like she could have family but she’s letting the typical adolescence stuff get in the way of mending her relationship. She has a cousin but there must be a trust issue if they’ll only let her sleep in the car. I would imagine there’s things being left out of the story. She must have burnt a bunch of bridges. But she can turn it around. Stay away from the booze and start holding yourself accountable for your own life.
Well said...
Spot on
That's exactly what I was thinking!
I hate people like you . Shit the fuck up forever 💯
I also saw the potential
Person being interviewed: yea so right now I’m sleeping in cars and sometimes a 24 hour laundry mat.
Interviewer: oh ok so you’re homeless? Where do you sleep?
.... 😑 Duuuuuude,
Come
On
Maybe he was tired of a little distracted bc he's not like that, usually he will let people tell their story.
Ariel feys 😳 !!!! You couldn’t have said it better
She tells him she has a son. Few minutes later asks about her daughter??
He only ask these questions to make the person being interviewed think about their CHILDREN and think about their living situation! And thats why he ask those questions she has a choice and she has options thats what mark trying to make these people see and think. Right now is not the end and not the only option. It gets better when you try harder
Sometimes he seems to tune them out. Not intentionally I'm sure.
She can go to school for free, she has no real income. Apply for financial aid to go to culinary school and/or go to Salvation Army to help with the alcohol addiction. She can get housing with the financial aid.
Mark needs to pin this comment and thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Yes check out your lo al community action agencies. Your local income base AA groups/ Rehabs and Voc Rehabs for schooling. There are so many great resources you just have to find them , stick with them and work hard
Go to google and search your countys local resources. Go to a library for internet.
The restaurant industry is not a place for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.
@Michele P Salvation army has helped a lot of people. Maybe you have had a bad experience but many have not
Sending love out to you Jessica. Everyone wants to be loved and wanted. We are all rooting for you to do better!
Try to find a rehab that will take you. When I went to rehab I met some of the nicest people in the world. People who could relate when I thought I was alone. You can change your life.
i hope this interview helps her do enough reflecting to get to a place where shes ready to become sober. im praying for her
Earlier she stated she has absolutely no family. Then later she said she’s staying with her cousin and she also has a son?
Just go to an AA meeting. Sit, listen and wait until you feel like you can start to make the changes. We can see that you're tired of this life. We want to see you succeed!
She'll need detox first rehabilitation with round the clock meetings more than likely co-depentence. A also the meetings are all now on zoom for the moment Minnie 🏠 osias House Los Angeles California we're wishing her the best the program or for those who want it not need it!! Good luck baby girl I'm cheering for you!! God can and will if he is sought 🙏
Praying for her, she can turn this around she’s so young and has so much potential. So sad to see these people having to turn to these things to survive. Breaks my heart.
I recommended this channel to my daughter who is an influential high school teacher in Alameda county and said it should be mandatory in high school curriculum. I’m hopeful.
