Mark, after watching half of this one-think you were irresponsible to post Glow's interview.She is too vulnerable& fragile to be exposed like this.She is so broken from trauma& ptsd that she needs a professional to talk about this.Trust me I know that she needs professional help.i have been there.i have watched many of your videos& I see the positiveness in them-but I feel Glow is being abused, used all over again by you posting this.this one crossed the line.this can not help her.she will be even more fragile when she leaves.i wish more could be done for her.Is there any agency you could take her to...to receive counseling.hope the next time someone this fragile comes along-after the interview you will have better insight whether to post it or not.praying Glow gets help ASAP.Thank you for listening to my opinion.thank you for those you do help.
Lynn Gold Your point is definitely valid and worth considering, however I should mention that Glow has asked me more than once when she can come back to do another talk with me. She even joined a gym a day after this was shot. I’m not saying she’s cured or anything close to that, but the fact that she seemed to move in a positive direction afterwards supports what I believe, which is that by unearthing these hidden painful things from our minds we free ourselves up to choose differently in the future. To keep them in the closet gives them power over us. Thank you for your concern for Glow. I’m very aware that she is more fragile than most.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly thank you giving an update, Mark. I've also felt conflicted about how vulnerable Glow is in this video. I've learned from her and from other people commenting, too. I guess that's just how powerful and incredible Glow is when she tells her story to you, it draws out all these emotions from us.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly It says more about the people that can't watch this, it is their feelings they are trying to protect. This is hard to watch. But the abuse isn't Mark posting this. The abuse is from the abusers who did this to her. And society who allows this to continue to happen. From her step fathers to the other men and women who have abused her. Shining a light on this is the first step for society and the abused to heal.
@Tewdy Quew i agree completely..makes me wonder if this country couldnt use a mother figure... A woman president, you know, a little nurturing to our society, feeding our communities, healing our wounds, chasing away the monsters that hurt our children.. someone to bring us all together as a family. Just a thought.
She fascinates me! So poised, well spoken, classy and kind ...after all she's been through! I really like her. I see her being a powerful speaker!! I want to be her friend and help her!😢 Please do an update soon, Mark!
@@sheilaboland6285 the same kinda help we all need, help feeling like there's hope, help feeling like love still exists, help coping with trauma, help having purpose, help to smile and laugh, help to feel good, etc.
This woman is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Her story has touched me so deeply and I wish I could just hug her and be her friend. She doesn't deserve any of the horrific things that have happened to her. Nobody does. Glow, you are an angel! Much love from London x
She should go to the union mission rescue they will help her as they are helping 1000's of other women. She will be in much better circumstances and off the streets.
I feel the same way!!! I just want to hug her and tell her what a beautiful person she ♥️ No one deserves what’s been done to her, it breaks my heart 😔 ❌⭕️❌⭕️’s from Philly, PA
I agree, just something about her is very genuine , sure she has made bad choices to be where shes at but you have to look at all of the things that have happened in her life that would lead to those bad choices. if things had been different she could have had a completely different life. I think about that often with my own wife, she grew up in a very rough way, somehow she came out like the complete opposite of her mother and is a better person than me by far. but I always think about what a tragedy it would have been if she had just made a couple bad choices and gone the other direction, noone would ever have know what kind of amazing trustworthy strong person she could have been.
violet nuit I relate to this so much. I think a lot of people do. Main reason I’d rather avoid counseling or talking about traumatic situations. It’s just better to not relive them and go on about life.
I felt it drop like a stone in my gut. That was my way of surviving in a really traumatic time in my life. "It's not happening. He didn't mean it. I'm good." I can operate so well while enduring terrible trauma, and it's so hard to leave because the moment you get out is when you really have to deal with it.
If you ignore it, sure you can pretend it never happened. But it’s stored in your body and your unconscious. It still triggers you, and manifests in life and your decision making. Processing trauma (correctly) frees you. I am not the person I am today, after healing, as the person I was prior. I can dream and move forward in confidence and with love in the world. The reality is that no therapist can heal you. They can only give you the space and the tools to do so. The real work is by yourself. Luckily, today, more free information is available. You need to break the generational cycles of trauma. When people don’t deal; you inflict that pain outwardly into the world. That energy is transferred.
@@amyimogenimagine and yet these modalities that release us from trauma are most inaccessible to the people that need them the most. EMDR etc. Is expensive.
Probably the most powerful interview on this channel. She's very articulate and so kind. I hope she finds a good life, she deserves it more than anybody.
Totally right?! I think that this might be a new thing for a lot of the videos going forward though.. Some of these interviews deserve some sort of disclaimer. I haven't personally gone through anything that would make this difficult to watch (outside of high levels of empathy) but I can only imagine how triggering this could be for someone struggling with PTSD from similar experiences.
@@Anti_everything_and_everyone it was for me and I'm glad she did, because holding it in is a killer. She needed to release and I know she feels a lot better.
This was the hardest interview I've watched so far.. & Powerful. To see her literally be freed from chains & bonds right before my eyes... to watch her shrink within herself only to rise up stronger all within 30 minutes. I absolutely love the heart she shares in telling her story. God bless her.
Glow rocks herself like a child when she speaks about the abuse she has suffered. I just want to hug her.I hope with all my heart that she gets her RV and manages to get out of Skid Row. Glow, you are a fighter - a warrior - never forget that.
When she was talking about the torture, I noticed that her voice took on a childlike quality. That is a coping mechanism for someone that is having to relive a traumatic event. This poor sweet lady needs help so bad. Mentally and physically. My heart hurts so bad for her.
It's frightening how dark life is for some people. The "everything is fine" beginning evolved into a nightmare. I was moved by her insights and her clinging to life when these assaults drive so many to suicide. This was a tough one to watch.
so heartbreaking but so true,your head goes in to fight or flight then assess what you think might be about to happen, act accordingly ! Survival mod on or go in to autopilot!So you can see another day ..
Nice leggings. I can’t afford those. Or hair coloring. Or Marlboro cigarettes. They’re $5:a pack. And her lipstick matches her hair perfect. Not to mention the trendy earrings. C’mon
‘don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel’ is what keeps dysfunction alive and healthy. sharing, speaking your truth, and being brave enough to be vulnerable is how we heal.
"if you don't talk about it, it never happened" that statement speaks VOLUMES... I pray with everything holy and divine she finds a kind soul to help her.
The most compelling interview I have ever watched. Such an eloquent story teller with the harshest life I ever heard about, yet she has a certain strength and sweetness. I hope she finds peace.
As a teacher, I understand that kids may have come from dysfunctional homes, it's a miracle they make it to school. I always keep that in mind, but these stories are beyond the pale of my imagination. These videos are truly opening my eyes and making me extra compassionate.
It's crazy to me that this goes on every. Single. Day. And so many people treat eachother like shit without realizing the hell they live with. People don't realize how privileged they are to have the circumstances in like that they did that they never had to go through these kinds of things.
Lila W teachers suck I know I have two degrees in education and I have never met a more miserable unhappy loathsome ugly badly dressed bunch of people I went back to university and did a PhD instead
Once I heard 12 step dads, I was trying hard NOT to imagine how many times she’d been raped/molested. And I hadn’t even begun to hear the worst of it. Yikes. Bruh.
This lovely woman ripped her soul out and told us all the evil, vile things some human's are capable of inflicting on others and she did it with self respect and dignity, no self pity. I have nothing but respect and admiration for her, please tell me you didn't just leave her after this interview with no follow up. She deserves only good things in her life now.
I pray for you to get that RV, I pray for you to get off the drugs, I pray for you to find peace and happiness. You are a beautiful person, strong 💪 and very brave.
Even with an RV it's difficult and an eyesore for some especially if you park in residential. Neighbors complain and do not want RV's in their neighborhoods. The gas and should it break down then you are stuck and possibly towed. Again she could be homeless.
the story about her being tortured for a week is so heartbreaking. all of this is heartbreaking. god please bless this beautiful woman with a warm home and some sort of closure 🥺 i couldn’t even imagine being in her shoes
As a homeless person myself I do not see these people as exposing homelessness it's more than that they know what they're getting themselves into by doing this interview and they just want to be heard nobody is getting exposed he's not putting them in a bad light he's showing what life is really about
I get the feeling a lot of people want something more polished and controlled by the interviewer that will give them a cleaner ending and a feeling "everything is okay". That the video will end and someone will come and take control and fix everything. Like a tv show/Disney movie. All neat and tidy and safe. So they complain the person being interviewed is being used or exploited but the reality is the viewer is uncomfortable and wants to blame someone rather than look and see just how hopeless life can really be.
I'm so happy somebody gave her a hug after her interview because she needed one and i wanted to just jump through the screen and give her the biggest hug i could possibly give.
And some of us think we have it rough...I can’t imagine being raped, beaten, burned, drugged, sleeping outside or in a tent and all the trauma these people have endured.. seems like she really wants to let it all go but is holding back so much...she’s such a sweet soul and seems she just got lost along the way. I hope one day she gets back on track and can share her story with other woman who have been through this...she could possibly help even just one person...I just wanna wrap my arms around her and give her the biggest hug, take her in and help her out....
Angie B What she may not realize is that being able to remember all her trauma will actually make the healing process easier, not that it will be a picnic. It will be far easier than healing repressed memories.
Most times, they just dont believe they deserve anything BETTER. To them its better to feel pain..than nothing at all. When it gets to be too much..well then thats when the substances come in to play. Such a vicious cycle.
He wouldn't be the man he is today without her. Everyone goes thru trials and tribulations and they make it work. Enough Love can overcome anything. He doesn't need to be her parent or a babysitter. He could at least reach out. I find it hard to believe anybody could see this video of their own mother and not reach out you'd have to be heartless.
I just want to protect her forever. She is such a precious woman and she has inspired me so much. I just want to give her a hug and a warm place to live
Just be aware that some of these people have serious mental illness that needs professional help and guidance and medication; so don't be fool hardy and let just anyone you feel sorry for into your home and into your life.
Hi Mark, I’m actually super concerned about Glow. She shared such a powerful story that clearly has not been opened up since the events occurred in her life. What concerns me is the evident lack of mental health resources for her. I’m not sure if you were able to bring her to a therapist or had a mental health professional on site, but it’s super important for when people open up (especially open up about something that’s been repressed for so long) that they are able to be closed back up. So that they don’t go back into the world with exposed open wounds! I know it’s expensive but if there’s a go fund me for cases like these who are in dire need for therapy, please let us know so we can donate. Thanks!
Mel M Mel, There are many free counseling, recovery, rehab, etc. programs available to the people on Skid Row. Some of these programs are very good, but getting a person to go and follow through with treatment is difficult. No shortage of resources here. Thanks
Soft White Underbelly, so good to hear! As a counseling student myself, I felt a pit in my stomach at the thought of her opening up some deeply buried traumas and not getting help afterwards. I’m glad to hear that there are resources available. Thanks for your reply :-)
@@melm7679 yeah it's not his purview to offer counseling services. it's skid row. There are lots of services available if folks want them. Mark is trying to highlight the greater issues, not help individuals. He offers them a chance to talk, and he pays them. If you want more, YOU go do more. Smh.
@@alijane6675 no need getting Al defensive on all the replies that are looking for more information on counseling resources on skid row. Hope you got better things to do in life than hating on people that have the best intentions. If you want to hate, please hate on people that actually deserve it. Bye.
Same here. Of all of the people featured on this channel that I have had the chance to watch, this lady is my favorite. I have only watched the first 7 minutes as I write this..but she seems so nice and sincere. She doesn't seem like she is trying to get one over on anyone or anything like that. She seems like a nice person who grew up in a messed up situation and didn't stand a chance from day one. Twelve stepdads? That is absolutely insane. How are you normal when your mother sets that kind of example? I am very surprised this lady is so nice and relatively normal for someone in this type of situation. I wish her nothing but the best.
Hope...? She needs...no, deserves more than hope. This is one of the very very few that have done these videos that is true whole heartedly, broken and self destructive which is why she keeps getting herself into those situations. But, she's a rare one as she's still so sweet, kind, well mannered and still has a heart of gold. She meant every word she spoke. And some people that do these vids you can see if you are looking properly when they fall in and out of the story they're telling ..U know what i mean? Or when their rage fires up or when they're exaggerating their story.... This one, none of that. Completely truthful and very very real. She'd help anyone tho she meant that... she loves with her whole self and I pray she finally gets the break she really deserves. But I really pray that when she does, she learns and never lets anything like that happen to her again.
Dear Glow, I am moved by your story. You have the most beautiful voice and a lyrical way of speaking. I'm so sorry that terrible things have happened to you. I hope you find peace now at this time in your life, you deserve it. You're a good soul with a beautiful smile.
Glow, your not a coward. Sweet girl your a survivor. This interview truly grabbed my heart. I can feel your heart, your hurt. You are beautiful and loving. Keep God close to you, God is love. Keep your eyes to the sky Glow. You have only been out there for 3 months. Please take care of you, don't let the drugs in!!!! Get your life back!!! I'm really praying for you and sending you so many hugs 💕💕
I’m a silent viewer, I never comment on anything, but this had me in tears. I could feel for her, but I could not understand exactly what she had to go through. She’s a powerful/strong woman, and I applaud her for it❤️. Thank you for raising awareness.
Wow my heart hurts for this woman.. I wonna find her and show her normal family love and care. U are something girl a true hero .. Why does this happen... I would be her friend and shoulder... Shes a true hard core. I wish i could meet with her and be a friend.. I would take her in..but im in England. Shame.. U strong. Xxxx praying for u..and sending u hugs . u are nota coward.. U are super strong.. U fight girl xxxxx
Ive just watched this before i went to bed & have such a heavy heart. I am totally thankful for all that i have. It is pouring down outside which woke my 3 year old son up so he just came & got in with me & let me tell u i have never felt more blessed to be safe & warm in my bed with my child snuggled next to me. I will never complain about anything again! God help these poor souls!
I would say never once did she object or attempt to leave the conversation. She needed a break and voluntarily came back. She willfully and passionately spoke about these traumas. As much as it is interesting for us to dissect, she needed to express this to someone-professional or not. This is just as important to be see as much as the happy, carefree people and the hardened people.
Mark is there a way you can get mental health professionals and helpers to volunteer their time and help these really distressing traumatised people? This woman needs love ASAP.
Tanya Stewart There are several nonprofit counseling, rehab, etc. services available for free right down the street. The trick is getting the person motivated to do the work required.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly exactly. A lot of people feel so broken and hopeless about themselves. Even under the best circumstances getting help and facing the ups and downs of treatment and recovery are extremely difficult
Correct- I'm counselor and a recovered addict. Yes, its when THEY are ready. We can offer services all day long and keep the doors open all day long but its when they choose to come in. Mark, I'm glad you validate them. They are our sisters and brothers. God Bless you! I will be visiting soon. Would love to collab some how.
After every story she says, “But I lived through that, I’m still here”. After everything, her resilience and attitude is amazing. What a warm, beautiful soul, she’s stayed positive and GOOD through everything that’s happened.
To everyone saying this is fake, how naive of you. I’ve met people who have terrible similar stories. Just because life has been a walk in the park for you doesn’t mean others don’t go through constant suffering. Unfortunately evil exists.
First of all no one's life has been a walk in the park not a single human being on this Earth. secondly for those of us who have gone through hell and then chose the right decisions instead of the wrong ones, doesn't mean that we have anything given on a silver later. It means we were rewarded by making the correct decision for us at the time. Now if you choose the wrong decision you're also rewarded with with all things associated with being irresponsible. the only way you can have success in your life is to be responsible and make the correct decision and if you have the inability to do that then you lose.
I doubt her story is fake. The person who posted could have been the liar. One reason why i think its not fake is because in the begining she said her childhood was wonderful, and then as she went on speaking, that's when she really started to share her story and while recalling traumatic incidents, you can see the discomfort she is in. She'd have to be one heck of an actor to lie this well. Had she been a liar, she would have not made that comment about her childhood being a good one.. She would have been more likely to say it was horrible from the get go. Anyway, I just think it's rude to make a statement such as her story is fake when she is clearly in such a sad situation.
In these "interviews" it always amazes me how much these individuals divulge without being prompted. They give so much more information than they are asked for. They need someone to tell their stories to.
that just shows how isolated from the world they are, so when so guy with a youtube channel comes around and wants to her to share her story, they open up and this is really sad.....the world is so fucked up in so many ways
I want to bring her home to my house and take care of her. Make her feel worthy. This was by far the most compelling interview yet. I love her smile and that she does it often even through all the negative discussions. I think she has a great heart.
Yep Erin and as Im thinking that myself, the comments so far,, no one else has commented that or actually offered. Not everyone can, and I would in an instant get her into a place she could get off the addictive shit, then give her somewhere she can calm and get good counseling, fix hersrlf physically and stop being afraid.
When my daughter was 8 months old, we were at the hospital with her lungs. There was a 4-year-old girl who had a fever and she was from foster care, she was all alone. In the nights her fever got worse and she cried, I went to her and tried to calm her. Immediately she started to call me mom. Another day her real mom came, she was so big and scary and I think she was under some drugs. Anna was so scared, started to cry and hide her behind my back. In the nights, she sat exactly like this woman and swung her backward and forward. I was a single mom, I did not have the possibility to help her and take her with me. Until today I am thinking about this girl and I wish I could have done something. Nobody should be alone! I have gone through depression and anxiety, and I just realized that it is NOTHING. My life has been beautiful, I have had a privileged life. I just watch her sitting there and I would like to give her a hug, to tell her, it is going to be alright, you will get well soon. I really hope her son forgives her for not being a parent to him and eventually helps him. Please hug this woman and tell her that she is good and lovable.
I'm blown away by this womans strength. My God. I wanted to hug her. Shes so small. Seems so defenseless. I pray she finds a true "friend" who can show her shes worth so much more than what's happening in her world. God bless you Mark and ALL of your guests. Peace brother
Albeit difficult to watch, I feel it was cleansing for her to talk about it and get it out...face it and deal with it on the most basic level. Her life story is real and raw, she's been through so much that it's a miracle she's still here. She has a beautiful spirit, and I think she most likely felt better after this interview which is why she started going to the gym- and wants to come back and do more interviews. THIS is her therapy. I hope you will post updates with her, I wish I could be her friend ♥️
Omg. This was by far the most compelling of all the interviews I've watched. My heart goes out to her. I'm weeping. My heart is broken. Glow, you are loved my dear♥️
I really feel like she needs to be somewhere like a women's shelter. As she's a battered wife. Somewhere where she can have a space of her own and be safe with other women as she deserves it.
Battered women's shelters are ok, at least the one where I was at, but the dysfunction and distrust there is horrible and can lead to worse mental health. They offer very little health services. If you bring anything of value it will get stolen. And the other people are so mentally ill and vengeful, you might be better living by yourself, even if it's in a tent.
I LOVE that she told her story, and then started talking about her goals and what she had learnt in life. She has moved so far. You can tell this helped her
She’s broken! I want to just come get her! I know she values herself, you can tell by how upset she is. She is not a hardened woman. She’s so vulnerable! I hope she gets help soon! She’s beautiful!!!!
The end where he went to hug her and she avoided it.. she'll receive it on her own terms. Too many things have been forced on her already. It's sad that the simple act of hugging will forever be so difficult for us. -Love you Glow. ❤️
This poor soul needs some medical attention ASAP, she is broken, my heart breaks for her. I hope someone that sees this can offer her help. God bless her 🙏
This woman deserves so much more, she's purer than 90% of the people I know, hell, she's better than me, and still I'm the one with a roof above my head
My God how much can a person take? She's been through so much trauma yet she seems to have a sweet soul. I truly hope she gets the help she needs. Her pain is so raw and ready to process. She's reaching out for help.
This just left me speechless. My heart is going to be aching for Glow for a long long time after watching this. All of that and to still be so soft spoken and quietly sweet.... Speechless. Speechless.
@@michellegriffin4697 I have only recently started watching and just a few here and there. Honestly I get very overwhelmed watching some of these stories. Trying not to pass judgement one way or the other but it's hard not to be touched and moved.
At the end she says.... "Every morning... Grab this world by the balls and smile and laugh and make people laugh... because everyone wants to be miserable....and that's too Fucking easy"...... This woman is truly a beautiful and brilliant soul. If only I could fix it. Take her pain away. But I can't. And that kills me. I am so so so sorry Glow. Know you are loved by a stranger in NY.
She’s so vulnerable. She has that thing abusers see and feed on. I hope you get better soon. 💚💚 holy mother all I here is a wee girl full of self loathing. It’s the wrong way around.
I’m only halfway through this interview and watching this woman tell her story really hurts my heart because she seems so sweet. I know we all have our demons but this lady did not deserve the shit she been through. Ive watched a lot of these interviews but this one right here is something, i really feel for her and i pray that she can get herself out the street because she deserves to have a better life.
I feel like I've watched so many of these without any emotion, just kind of watching and getting the flow of the show... this one... this was beyond. I think I made it halfway before I broke and started sobbing. God, hold this beautiful woman in your arms of peace. 🖤 would love an update! love from PA, Glow. you're a warrior.
Sending so much strength and love to you Glow. You are special and loved. Its hard watching you cry but lettinf it out is so important for healing. You know have a support system even if its just mark and me. But im sure you have more than that now that people have heard your story. ❤
She's beautiful. She speaks soft and kind. She's intelligent and still strong. She's been beaten down both mentally and physically but still is here with us today. I pray for her future. I pray for her. To listen to her and know she is a homeless woman on skid row, probably looked at by people walking by like a crazy drug addict that chose to live this "low-life." It's purely cruel how this country is and to judge without knowing people's stories. I wish there was something I could do to help. Thank you for creating this channel to show the reality of people less fortunate. 🙏🏽 There is still hope for her and everyone else, I just pray there can be some sort of change in the near future. 💔
I just found these videos last night and have watched probably a dozen already.... this is the one that finally brought me to tears. I work in childrens mental health so I hear horrendous things and I can handle it... but this woman broke my heart... God please send your angels to protect and guide this woman to safety
I’ve watched quite a few of these and this is by far the hardest to watch. Glow is such a sweet soul, even after all that she endured. I’m so glad that in the follow up she’s managed to find a place and is off the street. I hope things continue to improve for her. She deserves so much.
The way she seems shocked by some of his questions she said oh like it surprised her. Makes me think maybe she hasn’t been asked about herself much maybe because it hurts too much to think about. Her story, it breaks my heart. I hope that 3 or 4 months doesn’t turn into 3 or 4 years. I hope she can get that RV that she had mentioned.
Mark, I'm glad you're being recommend on you tube. More people NEED to see what the reality of life is. You're doing a amazing job. I hope you keep blowing up, so more people can see the message you're trying to convey.
I'm so touched by your portraits! They are so empathetic and authentic. I really appreciate being able to look people in the face, to hear their stories and to learn about their lives. I live in such a bubble. It strikes me, over and over, how much we need to interact with people whose lives are different. It's clear how bright, sensitive, creative all of us are, no matter what crap has happened to hurt us. I'm so sorry for all of the pain Glow has experienced. I wish she could find a safe space.
Is it possible to miss someone you never met? After watching this I really felt something for Glow... and I really miss her and I just want to hug her so tight. Mark, please do an update on her. It’s been 6 months and I’m so worried about her :(
Mark, after watching half of this one-think you were irresponsible to post Glow's interview.She is too vulnerable& fragile to be exposed like this.She is so broken from trauma& ptsd that she needs a professional to talk about this.Trust me I know that she needs professional help.i have been there.i have watched many of your videos& I see the positiveness in them-but I feel Glow is being abused, used all over again by you posting this.this one crossed the line.this can not help her.she will be even more fragile when she leaves.i wish more could be done for her.Is there any agency you could take her to...to receive counseling.hope the next time someone this fragile comes along-after the interview you will have better insight whether to post it or not.praying Glow gets help ASAP.Thank you for listening to my opinion.thank you for those you do help.
Lynn Gold Your point is definitely valid and worth considering, however I should mention that Glow has asked me more than once when she can come back to do another talk with me. She even joined a gym a day after this was shot.

I guess that's just how powerful and incredible Glow is when she tells her story to you, it draws out all these emotions from us.
agreed. i think this person is clearly exploiting these people and a lot of this is unethical. someone should investigate.
next time please insert newline characters at the end of your sentences, right after the dot.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly It says more about the people that can't watch this, it is their feelings they are trying to protect. This is hard to watch. But the abuse isn't Mark posting this. The abuse is from the abusers who did this to her. And society who allows this to continue to happen. From her step fathers to the other men and women who have abused her. Shining a light on this is the first step for society and the abused to heal.
Who else really SEES homeless people now since watching these interviews?? Awareness is a powerful thing.
Amazing ❤️ yes
Yes
@Tewdy Quew i agree completely..makes me wonder if this country couldnt use a mother figure...

This woman is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Her story has touched me so deeply and I wish I could just hug her and be her friend. She doesn't deserve any of the horrific things that have happened to her. Nobody does. Glow, you are an angel! Much love from London x
She should go to the union mission rescue they will help her as they are helping 1000's of other women. She will be in much better circumstances and off the streets.
I feel the same way!!! I just want to hug her and tell her what a beautiful person she ♥️ No one deserves what’s been done to her, it breaks my heart 😔

I agree, just something about her is very genuine , sure she has made bad choices to be where shes at but you have to look at all of the things that have happened in her life that would lead to those bad choices. if things had been different she could have had a completely different life. I think about that often with my own wife, she grew up in a very rough way, somehow she came out like the complete opposite of her mother and is a better person than me by far. but I always think about what a tragedy it would have been if she had just made a couple bad choices and gone the other direction, noone would ever have know what kind of amazing trustworthy strong person she could have been.
Agreed. Love from South Africa
Me too and show her there are real women whom can show her what a real friendship is xoxo from New York
“If you never talk about it, it’s like it never happened. And if it’s never happened, you can live” is where I completely lost it.
violet nuit I relate to this so much. I think a lot of people do. Main reason I’d rather avoid counseling or talking about traumatic situations. It’s just better to not relive them and go on about life.
I felt it drop like a stone in my gut. That was my way of surviving in a really traumatic time in my life. "It's not happening. He didn't mean it. I'm good." I can operate so well while enduring terrible trauma, and it's so hard to leave because the moment you get out is when you really have to deal with it.
If you ignore it, sure you can pretend it never happened. But it’s stored in your body and your unconscious. It still triggers you, and manifests in life and your decision making. Processing trauma (correctly) frees you. I am not the person I am today, after healing, as the person I was prior. I can dream and move forward in confidence and with love in the world.
The reality is that no therapist can heal you. They can only give you the space and the tools to do so. The real work is by yourself. Luckily, today, more free information is available.
You need to break the generational cycles of trauma. When people don’t deal; you inflict that pain outwardly into the world. That energy is transferred.
@@amyimogenimagine and yet these modalities that release us from trauma are most inaccessible to the people that need them the most. EMDR etc. Is expensive.
How is this woman able to still trust people?
There's a broken child in a woman's body, the rocking and self soothing is heartbreaking. Poor thing.
Probably the most powerful interview on this channel. She's very articulate and so kind. I hope she finds a good life, she deserves it more than anybody.
She and Others. No one deserves the Mental, Physical, Emotional, Abuse!
You don't know that she is kind. You have no idea from one single interview by a drug addict who are not known to be exactly honest.
@@peekaboots01 Oh STFU.. You have no idea because you are so cold hearted. Who hurt you?
I agree.
I was thinking the same thing. I want to help her so much!
You know it’s gonna be a deep one when it has a warning at the start
Right!!!
Ugh I know!
Totally right?! I think that this might be a new thing for a lot of the videos going forward though.. Some of these interviews deserve some sort of disclaimer. I haven't personally gone through anything that would make this difficult to watch (outside of high levels of empathy) but I can only imagine how triggering this could be for someone struggling with PTSD from similar experiences.
James Wood I know right ❤️
@@Anti_everything_and_everyone it was for me and I'm glad she did, because holding it in is a killer. She needed to release and I know she feels a lot better.
This was the hardest interview I've watched so far.. & Powerful. To see her literally be freed from chains & bonds right before my eyes... to watch her shrink within herself only to rise up stronger all within 30 minutes. I absolutely love the heart she shares in telling her story. God bless her.
Glow rocks herself like a child when she speaks about the abuse she has suffered. I just want to hug her.I hope with all my heart that she gets her RV and manages to get out of Skid Row. Glow, you are a fighter - a warrior - never forget that.
Whippy99 agreed!
Me too
I just want to hug her too!! I wish she could get some help, professionally. And I really, really hope she got her rv too.
Her mom loved her
When she was talking about the torture, I noticed that her voice took on a childlike quality. That is a coping mechanism for someone that is having to relive a traumatic event. This poor sweet lady needs help so bad. Mentally and physically. My heart hurts so bad for her.
Yes! My sister goes into her baby talk phases. Not only the pitch,of her voice but the content of her talk.
Seattle homeless is a huge epidemic as well . I see it every day all day.
sunny girl yes it’s a symptom of cptsd
@@joanbaczek2575 I feel so sad for her. I cant imagine going through that much trauma one lifetime.
Yes, you can hear the trama in her voice. Lord, have mercy for this woman.
"I'm not prejudice, I hate all people equally"... I really appreciate glows honesty and fairness
It's frightening how dark life is for some people. The "everything is fine" beginning evolved into a nightmare. I was moved by her insights and her clinging to life when these assaults drive so many to suicide. This was a tough one to watch.
so heartbreaking but so true,your head goes in to fight or flight then assess what you think might be about to happen, act accordingly ! Survival mod on or go in to autopilot!So you can see another day ..
Gregg Otteson agree
Nice leggings. I can’t afford those. Or hair coloring. Or Marlboro cigarettes. They’re $5:a pack. And her lipstick matches her hair perfect. Not to mention the trendy earrings. C’mon
Just get her in rehab and quit exploiting her
"17 years of that. 17 more won't hurt." That broke my heart.
Khanh Nguyen You hey numb to it after a while. Some people should never EVER be parents.
Omg this interview is absolutely heartbreaking and I just want to hug Glow and show her what a true friend really is!
Holy shit this woman is probably the toughest person I have ever seen. Respect to her and hope she gets all the help she needs. Best of luck to u Glow
She needed this interview , that release was a blessing she needed someone to tell her story too.
I agree; she needed to tell her story and let the tears wash away some of the hurt.
‘don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel’ is what keeps dysfunction alive and healthy. sharing, speaking your truth, and being brave enough to be vulnerable is how we heal.
@@octopusmime amen
@@ronniemead805 yes
She is doing much better now aswell
"if you don't talk about it, it never happened" that statement speaks VOLUMES... I pray with everything holy and divine she finds a kind soul to help her.
The most compelling interview I have ever watched. Such an eloquent story teller with the harshest life I ever heard about, yet she has a certain strength and sweetness. I hope she finds peace.
Amazingly well said mate ♥️
Shona Varney very hard to watch🥺
As a teacher, I understand that kids may have come from dysfunctional homes, it's a miracle they make it to school. I always keep that in mind, but these stories are beyond the pale of my imagination. These videos are truly opening my eyes and making me extra compassionate.
It's crazy to me that this goes on every. Single. Day. And so many people treat eachother like shit without realizing the hell they live with. People don't realize how privileged they are to have the circumstances in like that they did that they never had to go through these kinds of things.
@@hj6507 Yes. Bless my too young, neurotic, over-protective parents!
Thank you.
Please share with your teacher friends.... because many teachers I have encountered can be really abusive and short fused.
Alyssa yep and I bet you don’t look for signs of abuse either
Lila W teachers suck I know I have two degrees in education and I have never met a more miserable unhappy loathsome ugly badly dressed bunch of people I went back to university and did a PhD instead
Can you do an update on Glow? This one really hit me and I find myself wanting to know she's okay. Thank you.

So true for many who are not homeless. They just exist and survive. The difference is they often are bordering being homeless.

Such a powerful statement 😞
She reminds me of a broken little girl. God bless and heal her heart, mind, body and soul.
Can you relate?
Keepit Ahunnid I can’t relate because I’ve never been hurt like that but I can still think she’s one hell of a woman
Once I heard 12 step dads, I was trying hard NOT to imagine how many times she’d been raped/molested. And I hadn’t even begun to hear the worst of it. Yikes. Bruh.
Jesus!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This lovely woman ripped her soul out and told us all the evil, vile things some human's are capable of inflicting on others and she did it with self respect and dignity, no self pity. I have nothing but respect and admiration for her, please tell me you didn't just leave her after this interview with no follow up. She deserves only good things in her life now.
Amen brother. ❤🙏🏽
No... it was males... that destroyed her
@@TEFLONDCUP did you actually watch an listen to her interview? There female "so called" friends too
“I’d rather just have me, that way I don’t have to be the bad thing in anybody’s life.” I felt that.
That’s so sad, she’s had no one in her life to show her how important she is! She’s a walking testimony!
Same
Same. That’s depression. We don’t want to be a burden.
Omggg same
the fact she has a son unsettles me, i could never let my mum go homeless like her
Awesome Blackness Channel Are you her son? Because you seem really offended
She is so worthy of all good things. I will never forget this woman.
I pray for you to get that RV,
I pray for you to get off the drugs,
I pray for you to find peace and happiness.
You are a beautiful person, strong 💪 and very brave.
Even with an RV it's difficult and an eyesore for some especially if you park in residential. Neighbors complain and do not want RV's in their neighborhoods. The gas and should it break down then you are stuck and possibly towed. Again she could be homeless.
Kelly Kelly but she’s homeless now tho
How sweet)))
Yesss! My sentiments exactly. I also pray for an end to alcohol addiction and an end to the cycle of abuse and victimization.
There are camp grounds for rvs and Walmart has free parking
Guess what Glow? we all love you here❤
Yes we do

the story about her being tortured for a week is so heartbreaking. all of this is heartbreaking. god please bless this beautiful woman with a warm home and some sort of closure 🥺 i couldn’t even imagine being in her shoes
Amen
Amen

There is something special about Glow; I wish she knew that.
As a homeless person myself I do not see these people as exposing homelessness it's more than that they know what they're getting themselves into by doing this interview and they just want to be heard nobody is getting exposed he's not putting them in a bad light he's showing what life is really about
I get the feeling a lot of people want something more polished and controlled by the interviewer that will give them a cleaner ending and a feeling "everything is okay". That the video will end and someone will come and take control and fix everything. Like a tv show/Disney movie. All neat and tidy and safe. So they complain the person being interviewed is being used or exploited but the reality is the viewer is uncomfortable and wants to blame someone rather than look and see just how hopeless life can really be.
True and we're already exposing ourselves being homeless to begin with, I've been on the street as well and still fighting looking for housing
I'm so happy somebody gave her a hug after her interview because she needed one and i wanted to just jump through the screen and give her the biggest hug i could possibly give.
And I'd receive it gratefully. Thank you!!!
Marceil Routh you’re very welcome.
me too! she seemed so sweet i just wanted to hug her and make everything okay for her
Me too sweetie me too
unfortunately i assumed the guy that hugged her was her pimp its a damn shame how many evil men there are in this world
And some of us think we have it rough...I can’t imagine being raped, beaten, burned, drugged, sleeping outside or in a tent and all the trauma these people have endured.. seems like she really wants to let it all go but is holding back so much...she’s such a sweet soul and seems she just got lost along the way. I hope one day she gets back on track and can share her story with other woman who have been through this...she could possibly help even just one person...I just wanna wrap my arms around her and give her the biggest hug, take her in and help her out....
Truly sad situation this poor lady went through in life. 😥
Angie B What she may not realize is that being able to remember all her trauma will actually make the healing process easier, not that it will be a picnic. It will be far easier than healing repressed memories.
Angie B. it's very kind of you to want to help her. She's probably never had that kind of true love and kindness. ❤
Angie B it all starts with a shot of h
Most times, they just dont believe they deserve anything BETTER. To them its better to feel pain..than nothing at all. When it gets to be too much..well then thats when the substances come in to play. Such a vicious cycle.
Glow, you are not a coward. Coming from someone who doesn't have any ulterior motive. You are a survivor.
Her son needs to watch this and forgive her and help her period..
Linda Rivera You don’t know how he is or what has happened between them
@@npnpnp858 I agree..The children cannot be the parent.
He wouldn't be the man he is today without her. Everyone goes thru trials and tribulations and they make it work. Enough Love can overcome anything. He doesn't need to be her parent or a babysitter. He could at least reach out. I find it hard to believe anybody could see this video of their own mother and not reach out you'd have to be heartless.
@@npnpnp858 their are children who were nearly murdered by their parents and even they can forgive and move on
Easy to say very hard to do. This is so sad...
I just want to protect her forever. She is such a precious woman and she has inspired me so much. I just want to give her a hug and a warm place to live
You'd let this woman in your house? You people are so gullible.
@@peekaboots01 You AGAIN?!? DAMN TROLL GTFO
Just be aware that some of these people have serious mental illness that needs professional help and guidance and medication; so don't be fool hardy and let just anyone you feel sorry for into your home and into your life.
This was heartbreaking, by far the most emotional video I have seen on this page. I pray she gets the healing and help she deserves.
Hi Mark,
I’m actually super concerned about Glow. She shared such a powerful story that clearly has not been opened up since the events occurred in her life. What concerns me is the evident lack of mental health resources for her. I’m not sure if you were able to bring her to a therapist or had a mental health professional on site, but it’s super important for when people open up (especially open up about something that’s been repressed for so long) that they are able to be closed back up. So that they don’t go back into the world with exposed open wounds! I know it’s expensive but if there’s a go fund me for cases like these who are in dire need for therapy, please let us know so we can donate. Thanks!
Mel M Mel, There are many free counseling, recovery, rehab, etc. programs available to the people on Skid Row. Some of these programs are very good, but getting a person to go and follow through with treatment is difficult. No shortage of resources here. Thanks
Soft White Underbelly, so good to hear! As a counseling student myself, I felt a pit in my stomach at the thought of her opening up some deeply buried traumas and not getting help afterwards. I’m glad to hear that there are resources available. Thanks for your reply :-)
@@melm7679 yeah it's not his purview to offer counseling services. it's skid row. There are lots of services available if folks want them. Mark is trying to highlight the greater issues, not help individuals. He offers them a chance to talk, and he pays them. If you want more, YOU go do more. Smh.
@@alijane6675 no need getting Al defensive on all the replies that are looking for more information on counseling resources on skid row. Hope you got better things to do in life than hating on people that have the best intentions. If you want to hate, please hate on people that actually deserve it. Bye.
Ali Jane FUCK OFF
this woman has been through hell and back. she is a survivor. i hope she finds help and peace.
"I'm not prejudiced I hate everybody equally" I felt that
She’s so hurt and I hurt for her.
I discovered this channel last week by accident and just want to say it's one of the best series I've seen. So powerful. Thank you!
So many horrible things happened in this poor woman’s life. I hope it gets better for her :)
Same here. Of all of the people featured on this channel that I have had the chance to watch, this lady is my favorite. I have only watched the first 7 minutes as I write this..but she seems so nice and sincere. She doesn't seem like she is trying to get one over on anyone or anything like that. She seems like a nice person who grew up in a messed up situation and didn't stand a chance from day one. Twelve stepdads? That is absolutely insane. How are you normal when your mother sets that kind of example? I am very surprised this lady is so nice and relatively normal for someone in this type of situation. I wish her nothing but the best.
Hope...? She needs...no, deserves more than hope.
This is one of the very very few that have done these videos that is true whole heartedly, broken and self destructive which is why she keeps getting herself into those situations. But, she's a rare one as she's still so sweet, kind, well mannered and still has a heart of gold. She meant every word she spoke. And some people that do these vids you can see if you are looking properly when they fall in and out of the story they're telling ..U know what i mean? Or when their rage fires up or when they're exaggerating their story.... This one, none of that. Completely truthful and very very real. She'd help anyone tho she meant that... she loves with her whole self and I pray she finally gets the break she really deserves. But I really pray that when she does, she learns and never lets anything like that happen to her again.
God I know
Nik KiD Hoping and praying are the same thing...? Praying is not going to help her that much either.
@M Detlef lmaooooo
Dear Glow, I am moved by your story. You have the most beautiful voice and a lyrical way of speaking. I'm so sorry that terrible things have happened to you. I hope you find peace now at this time in your life, you deserve it. You're a good soul with a beautiful smile.
Glow, your not a coward. Sweet girl your a survivor. This interview truly grabbed my heart. I can feel your heart, your hurt. You are beautiful and loving. Keep God close to you, God is love. Keep your eyes to the sky Glow. You have only been out there for 3 months. Please take care of you, don't let the drugs in!!!! Get your life back!!! I'm really praying for you and sending you so many hugs 💕💕
Monsters are real and they're human. This is so gut wrenching.
You can’t write or make a movie of anything more horrific than actual life .
Evil spirits dwell in people!

You bet. They nailed God Almighty to a cross after spitting in His face and whipping Him like a dog. Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy.
“My mom was GREAT! She only got married 12 times, and some of them abused me”.
What a great mom. Bravo!
I’m a silent viewer, I never comment on anything, but this had me in tears. I could feel for her, but I could not understand exactly what she had to go through. She’s a powerful/strong woman, and I applaud her for it❤️. Thank you for raising awareness.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention that I have brought that- awareness- I'm so glad.
She went through it all rape, molestation, close to death, torture, poisoning etc. Prayers for her heart🙏
Wow my heart hurts for this woman.. I wonna find her and show her normal family love and care. U are something girl a true hero .. Why does this happen... I would be her friend and shoulder... Shes a true hard core. I wish i could meet with her and be a friend.. I would take her in..but im in England. Shame.. U strong. Xxxx praying for u..and sending u hugs . u are nota coward.. U are super strong.. U fight girl xxxxx
Yes but it started to sound like a script by the end.
Ive just watched this before i went to bed & have such a heavy heart. I am totally thankful for all that i have. It is pouring down outside which woke my 3 year old son up so he just came & got in with me & let me tell u i have never felt more blessed to be safe & warm in my bed with my child snuggled next to me. I will never complain about anything again! God help these poor souls!
im miss young this really makes u look at your own life
I have a 3 year old also and when he snuggles with me it makes the bad go away
I would say never once did she object or attempt to leave the conversation. She needed a break and voluntarily came back. She willfully and passionately spoke about these traumas. As much as it is interesting for us to dissect, she needed to express this to someone-professional or not. This is just as important to be see as much as the happy, carefree people and the hardened people.
Mark is there a way you can get mental health professionals and helpers to volunteer their time and help these really distressing traumatised people?
This woman needs love ASAP.
Help them how ? Most need to get clean and a place to eat / sleep, no one is going to just start paying for a stranger
Tanya Stewart her and soooo many others. Local and state governments are failing big time.....
Tanya Stewart There are several nonprofit counseling, rehab, etc. services available for free right down the street. The trick is getting the person motivated to do the work required.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly exactly. A lot of people feel so broken and hopeless about themselves. Even under the best circumstances getting help and facing the ups and downs of treatment and recovery are extremely difficult
Correct- I'm counselor and a recovered addict. Yes, its when THEY are ready. We can offer services all day long and keep the doors open all day long but its when they choose to come in. Mark, I'm glad you validate them. They are our sisters and brothers. God Bless you! I will be visiting soon. Would love to collab some how.
After every story she says, “But I lived through that, I’m still here”. After everything, her resilience and attitude is amazing. What a warm, beautiful soul, she’s stayed positive and GOOD through everything that’s happened.
Throw it at me, let's go!
Watching this now, I hope Glow got her RV and is safe somewhere. Glow seems likes like a lovely kind woman. I hope 🙏
Out of ALL the hundreds of interviews on here. THIS ONE. This one just got me. I feel for her. I hope things work out for her.
To everyone saying this is fake, how naive of you. I’ve met people who have terrible similar stories. Just because life has been a walk in the park for you doesn’t mean others don’t go through constant suffering. Unfortunately evil exists.
First of all no one's life has been a walk in the park not a single human being on this Earth. secondly for those of us who have gone through hell and then chose the right decisions instead of the wrong ones, doesn't mean that we have anything given on a silver later. It means we were rewarded by making the correct decision for us at the time. Now if you choose the wrong decision you're also rewarded with with all things associated with being irresponsible. the only way you can have success in your life is to be responsible and make the correct decision and if you have the inability to do that then you lose.
@Glitter Kiss Also lying to get disability.
Yes, i mean imagine having a life so rough, that people think it's a fake story.
She is probably on disability for having chronic PTSD.
I doubt her story is fake. The person who posted could have been the liar. One reason why i think its not fake is because in the begining she said her childhood was wonderful, and then as she went on speaking, that's when she really started to share her story and while recalling traumatic incidents, you can see the discomfort she is in. She'd have to be one heck of an actor to lie this well. Had she been a liar, she would have not made that comment about her childhood being a good one.. She would have been more likely to say it was horrible from the get go. Anyway, I just think it's rude to make a statement such as her story is fake when she is clearly in such a sad situation.
This was extremely emotional I totally can feel her pain and hurt 😞 I’m thankful for her sharing her story you are so strong
In these "interviews" it always amazes me how much these individuals divulge without being prompted. They give so much more information than they are asked for. They need someone to tell their stories to.
I don't like Glow, I love her.
yeah the more you cry the more money you get from donations they all know this shes emotionally panhandling.
Lindsey B it just shows how badly they wanna be heard..
mental illness usually makes it very easy to overshare very easily. Which is another reason why these are exploitative and disconcerting?
that just shows how isolated from the world they are, so when so guy with a youtube channel comes around and wants to her to share her story, they open up and this is really sad.....the world is so fucked up in so many ways
"I'm not sure what a friend really is"....I hear you, dear
Same
Me too
Real true friends are hard to find.
Friends are as rare as diamonds 💎
I want to bring her home to my house and take care of her. Make her feel worthy. This was by far the most compelling interview yet. I love her smile and that she does it often even through all the negative discussions. I think she has a great heart.
Yep Erin and as Im thinking that myself, the comments so far,, no one else has commented that or actually offered. Not everyone can, and I would in an instant get her into a place she could get off the addictive shit, then give her somewhere she can calm and get good counseling, fix hersrlf physically and stop being afraid.
When my daughter was 8 months old, we were at the hospital with her lungs. There was a 4-year-old girl who had a fever and she was from foster care, she was all alone. In the nights her fever got worse and she cried, I went to her and tried to calm her. Immediately she started to call me mom. Another day her real mom came, she was so big and scary and I think she was under some drugs. Anna was so scared, started to cry and hide her behind my back. In the nights, she sat exactly like this woman and swung her backward and forward. I was a single mom, I did not have the possibility to help her and take her with me. Until today I am thinking about this girl and I wish I could have done something. Nobody should be alone!
I have gone through depression and anxiety, and I just realized that it is NOTHING. My life has been beautiful, I have had a privileged life. I just watch her sitting there and I would like to give her a hug, to tell her, it is going to be alright, you will get well soon. I really hope her son forgives her for not being a parent to him and eventually helps him. Please hug this woman and tell her that she is good and lovable.
What do you mean with her lungs?
I'm blown away by this womans strength. My God. I wanted to hug her. Shes so small. Seems so defenseless. I pray she finds a true "friend" who can show her shes worth so much more than what's happening in her world. God bless you Mark and ALL of your guests. Peace brother
Albeit difficult to watch, I feel it was cleansing for her to talk about it and get it out...face it and deal with it on the most basic level. Her life story is real and raw, she's been through so much that it's a miracle she's still here. She has a beautiful spirit, and I think she most likely felt better after this interview which is why she started going to the gym- and wants to come back and do more interviews. THIS is her therapy. I hope you will post updates with her, I wish I could be her friend ♥️
It's said that victims are victimized over and over because predators can spot them from far away. 😪
Yes exactly true,this is why she needs deep healing to rebuild herself
@Danyell Rollf yes
Yes, her aura screams, pain and low self esteem.
yoloduran duran so true - these predators know how to pick their victims - I hope they rot in hell - all of them 😡
Sad truth 💔
Omg. This was by far the most compelling of all the interviews I've watched. My heart goes out to her. I'm weeping. My heart is broken. Glow, you are loved my dear♥️
@Chris Smith what was your interview on?
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen or heard.
She’s a-warrior . And her hair is so awesome
For real! She makes me want to try it
I really feel like she needs to be somewhere like a women's shelter. As she's a battered wife. Somewhere where she can have a space of her own and be safe with other women as she deserves it.
Milly Molly Mandy completely agree somewhere safe
Really? You must have never been to such a "shelter"!
@@omgthekitty1676 LOL. Agree.
Battered women's shelters are ok, at least the one where I was at, but the dysfunction and distrust there is horrible and can lead to worse mental health. They offer very little health services. If you bring anything of value it will get stolen. And the other people are so mentally ill and vengeful, you might be better living by yourself, even if it's in a tent.
@@CovertCrow glad you do..
Some just run their mouth' clueless as to WHAT these shelters are for and how horrible stresslevels are!
I LOVE that she told her story, and then started talking about her goals and what she had learnt in life. She has moved so far. You can tell this helped her
She’s broken! I want to just come get her! I know she values herself, you can tell by how upset she is. She is not a hardened woman. She’s so vulnerable! I hope she gets help soon! She’s beautiful!!!!
She's rocking to soothe herself. Likely she never got that as a child. Breaks my heart.
frl? i do the same...
Young Bitch Ass Baby. I’m sorry❤️❤️
So true. Soothing mechanism . So many orphans do that. Need for love,
Great observation @ Tina Lindsey
It’s nerves. Done it my whole life. Will get when twitches when my nerves are fucked too
The end where he went to hug her and she avoided it.. she'll receive it on her own terms. Too many things have been forced on her already. It's sad that the simple act of hugging will forever be so difficult for us. -Love you Glow. ❤️
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was not him, I have no idea who he sent to pick her up but it wasn't him-he's white. I was surprised he didn't help her after all that.
@@annaxefta587what’s so funny? i must’ve missed the joke.
This poor soul needs some medical attention ASAP, she is broken, my heart breaks for her. I hope someone that sees this can offer her help. God bless her 🙏
This woman deserves so much more, she's purer than 90% of the people I know, hell, she's better than me, and still I'm the one with a roof above my head
My God how much can a person take? She's been through so much trauma yet she seems to have a sweet soul. I truly hope she gets the help she needs. Her pain is so raw and ready to process. She's reaching out for help.
This just left me speechless. My heart is going to be aching for Glow for a long long time after watching this. All of that and to still be so soft spoken and quietly sweet.... Speechless. Speechless.
Her's is horrible but there are some that surpasses this one. All sad though
@@michellegriffin4697 I have only recently started watching and just a few here and there. Honestly I get very overwhelmed watching some of these stories. Trying not to pass judgement one way or the other but it's hard not to be touched and moved.
At the end she says....
"Every morning... Grab this world by the balls and smile and laugh and make people laugh... because everyone wants to be miserable....and that's too Fucking easy"......
This woman is truly a beautiful and brilliant soul. If only I could fix it. Take her pain away.
But I can't.
And that kills me.
I am so so so sorry Glow.
Know you are loved by a stranger in NY.
She's so incredibly brave. This broke my heart. I hope she stays safe
“I’m not sure what a friend is.” 😞
She’s so vulnerable. She has that thing abusers see and feed on. I hope you get better soon. 💚💚 holy mother all I here is a wee girl full of self loathing. It’s the wrong way around.
I’m only halfway through this interview and watching this woman tell her story really hurts my heart because she seems so sweet. I know we all have our demons but this lady did not deserve the shit she been through. Ive watched a lot of these interviews but this one right here is something, i really feel for her and i pray that she can get herself out the street because she deserves to have a better life.
This woman deserves so much. She’s been through so much. I love you Glow.
I feel like I've watched so many of these without any emotion, just kind of watching and getting the flow of the show... this one... this was beyond. I think I made it halfway before I broke and started sobbing. God, hold this beautiful woman in your arms of peace. 🖤 would love an update! love from PA, Glow. you're a warrior.
Sending so much strength and love to you Glow. You are special and loved. Its hard watching you cry but lettinf it out is so important for healing. You know have a support system even if its just mark and me. But im sure you have more than that now that people have heard your story. ❤
What an extraordinary woman!!! If she only knew how many lives she will change because of this interview.
She's beautiful. She speaks soft and kind. She's intelligent and still strong. She's been beaten down both mentally and physically but still is here with us today. I pray for her future. I pray for her.
To listen to her and know she is a homeless woman on skid row, probably looked at by people walking by like a crazy drug addict that chose to live this "low-life." It's purely cruel how this country is and to judge without knowing people's stories. I wish there was something I could do to help.
Thank you for creating this channel to show the reality of people less fortunate. 🙏🏽
There is still hope for her and everyone else, I just pray there can be some sort of change in the near future. 💔
I just found these videos last night and have watched probably a dozen already.... this is the one that finally brought me to tears. I work in childrens mental health so I hear horrendous things and I can handle it... but this woman broke my heart... God please send your angels to protect and guide this woman to safety
She wants to protect others when she is the one who needs protection...My heart aches for her...I pray she gets her RV and stays safe
The pain in the women’s voice breaks my heart 💔 I hope she finds peace for what’s happened to her, sending all the love in the world ❤️
I’ve watched quite a few of these and this is by far the hardest to watch. Glow is such a sweet soul, even after all that she endured. I’m so glad that in the follow up she’s managed to find a place and is off the street. I hope things continue to improve for her. She deserves so much.
"Thanks for asking"... damn, that hit a whole new emotional level.

The way she seems shocked by some of his questions she said oh like it surprised her. Makes me think maybe she hasn’t been asked about herself much maybe because it hurts too much to think about. Her story, it breaks my heart. I hope that 3 or 4 months doesn’t turn into 3 or 4 years. I hope she can get that RV that she had mentioned.
Glow is a Survivor!! The healing begins by letting her tell her story. Good interview and helping Glow heal.❤
Her hair looks beautiful in spite of her circumstances.
I was just thinking the same.
Thinking the same. ✌
michelle fuller first thing I said lol
I’m loving the hair color! I thought it was just me looking at her hair
I ❤ it
I will never complain about my life problems. Because this woman has been through so much more then I could ever. I wish her the best in life.
She is a beautiful person, inside & out. I was happy to see her update & how well she’s doing now (Dec 2020).
Mark, I'm glad you're being recommend on you tube. More people NEED to see what the reality of life is. You're doing a amazing job. I hope you keep blowing up, so more people can see the message you're trying to convey.
I'm so touched by your portraits! They are so empathetic and authentic. I really appreciate being able to look people in the face, to hear their stories and to learn about their lives. I live in such a bubble. It strikes me, over and over, how much we need to interact with people whose lives are different. It's clear how bright, sensitive, creative all of us are, no matter what crap has happened to hurt us. I'm so sorry for all of the pain Glow has experienced. I wish she could find a safe space.
Beautifully put
Well said.
Is it possible to miss someone you never met? After watching this I really felt something for Glow... and I really miss her and I just want to hug her so tight. Mark, please do an update on her. It’s been 6 months and I’m so worried about her :(
