Same..the sadness 😢 she never had a chance

I had a narcissistic mother, I always thought we were dirt poor. Never asked for anything. Wore the same clothes day after day. Was told to change under wear 1 time a week. I was on my own, permiscuous, looking for someone but not knowing the ones that actually loved me. Got pregnant and married the father of the baby. He was an idiot. He died , life got better without him.Then my mother was old. I was the youngest. I was left to take care of her. I found a mother . She actually started to care about what I said. Btw, she left over a million in money. If she just spent a little of that on us as kids, we wouldn’t be so angry, I don’t know the word, but if I just had clean clothes then, I would have better self esteem.

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

I don't know why teachers even ask parents if there's something going on at home that's causing a kid to act out - its like, duh. You're asking the person who's most likely the root of the problem. Are they ever going to say, yeah, I think it's because I suck as a human being?

I listen to her and feel the pain she’s in. My sister is 45 and has 6 months to live. She’s dying from liver failure due to alcoholism. She was stabbed 9 times by her baby father when she was 16. I know my sisters in so much emotional pain, but hearing Niqi makes me realize just how deep it is. My sister had a hard life and sometimes she tells my daughter, I just want to ‘ sleep’ already! I really hope Niqi found the peace she needed before leaving this earth.😥😢😢

This woman has been resilient from age 9, looking after her siblings, to the age of 12yrs old when her Mum sold her for a bag of shit! She is an alcoholic, but through everything she has endured, why wouldn’t she be?, she has a beautiful soul and you can hear that when she talks about her own children, how she breaks her heart just talking about them, to the people she see’s struggling on the streets, and she is also a part of that lifestyle.

I like you, Niqi. Keep going. I got sober 15 years ago. There’s real joy and healing around the corner after the pain. Go towards the appreciation and trust and away from resentment and fear. It’s mental/emotional poison.

Its very sad, that this poor woman had so much low self esteem, that she didn't realize, that she deserved a better life, and more compassionate people around her like Mark. Her parents ruined her! Sometimes, people are so down on themselves, that they become hopeless, and just give up. I think Niqi's problems were just too hard to bear. Plus the guilt about her kids, put the cherry on the cake. Maybe she thought, they were better off without her. Very tragic. 😔🌹💐🙏🙏

Hi Mark. I absolutely love your grace and compassion for "us" . I just emailed while watching this interview because Niqi said she needed someone that has been through "the shit". There but by the Grace of God go I. 15 years ago, I was at a crossroad and made the correct turn for once. The miracles have never stopped and my awe has never been anything but breathtaking. I hope our paths cross and my life can help those that cannot live one more day like Niqi shared in her soul wrenching pain.

Big hugs to you Niqi. What happened to you as a child was not right. Sadly horrible things like that happen to too many of us when we are children. Sending prayers to you for strength and for Gods hand to reach down and help you find a way out of this storm and back to a life you feel comfortable with that will also connect you back with your kids.

This was so so sad , poor woman having to grow up in all this abuse god bless her 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rest in eternal peace and serenity Niqi. If nothing could be done for her life to be turned all the way around, I kinda wish she had passed sooner & not go through all the hell she went through, if this makes any sense, I don't know....😞

Niqi. Im sorry you are not here anymore. Its situations like yours that has me not able to to worship/ believe in god. How could a being that knows all and sees all be able to let this happen to a child. They are at the mercy of the adults around them with no real free will. I miss you.

We had food, clothes, our own bedrooms, birthday parties, etc. The fact that us kids just expected this, that it was normal shows how dumb and in a bubble we were. I wish I would have listened to their advice when I got older. Would have saved me from a disastrous marriage. Bless this lady, I feel her pain. May she rest in peace.
