I've worked with foster kids for over twenty years and trust me this is too many children's reality!!!! It's horrible!!! And all too often the foster homes become an even worse situation!!! It's almost like children go outa the frying pan into the fire and then society wonders why so many people are so messed up!!!! You would not believe how many kids I worked with over the years who felt the need to call me Mom!!!! Did I let them???? You bet I did and still do to this day!!!! I gave birth to one biological son who has given me a bonus granddaughter, who was not his biologically, but is ours regardless, and two grandsons!!!! But with all my other children at last count I can claim over thirty five grandchildren!!!! No too darn bad a reward for my work!!!! I'm very blessed!!!!

I've got an idea that I pitched to NASCAR drivers in 2009 but I had a brain tumor that needed attention so last summer in ve finally been told it's gone. Now I want to start a new nonprofit that addresses the issues that makes foster kids fall thru the cracks in the system. I've already contacted other racers in F1, Indy and dragsters and they've all said YES, & DO IT! They want me to do this because I've been there, done that and bought the Tshirt. My birth family was from Detroit, do you know about the contaminated drinking water in Michigan? It killed 3 generations of my family at once and even some of my friends remembered that my GM died from a brain tumor while I was in foster care. I was adopted Christmas 1981 and my adopted family was awesome to take me, I have learned that there's another way to help others except thru govt help. I can build a nonprofit, which the racers said start in Texas and take it National. Now, when they said that? Idk that North Carolina has a state income tax, so now I think I have enough people to start the 1st board of Directors but I'm still looking for more helpers. Let me know if you're interested?

For instance I got punched in the face by a 15 year old male and all he got for a punishment was a five minute meditation on what he did wrong!!!! He was back on level within that amount of time!!!!

No one was with me when my mom broke my skull on the bathroom wall .

This sounds so much like my childhood!! My dad was a severely mentally & physically abusive alcoholic drunk of a man who would beat my mom to a bloody pulp ever couple of weeks!! And both my of my parents (mom covert narcissist) were severely mentally & psychologically abusive always to me!! We lived in this extremely small town “Adams Oklahoma”!! There was a very small church just across the street from where we lived!! I’m 52 yrs old now but at the time I was only 3 yrs old!! I had never been to church, never was told about Jesus, & never owned a Bible while growing up! All I can say is that my Jesus from the get go has always been with me!!! And He always made me so very aware of my need for Him to be in my life!! Well that church that was just across the street from me …. When I was only 3 yrs old I begged my mom to please let me go to church!! So my mom would drop me off at church & there was this much older lady (truly believe was my Guardian Angel)….. that I just knew was sent by God!! So come every Sunday morning I would go to big church and I’d sit with this much older lady & I would always fall asleep in her lap!! Now fast forward to when I was in the 5th grade & we lived in Canyon Tx!! And every Sunday morning my mom would drop me off at the First Baptist Church & then would pick me up at noon when church let out!! Well this one Sunday afternoon my mom as always picked me up from church but this time when I got home my daddy told me….. that I would not be able to go to church anymore because my mom picking me up from church interfered…. with cooking our…. Sunday dinner!!! In that very moment I truly got to experience the absolute worst kind of heartbreak & a kind of pain …..that I had never felt before!!!! In that very moment I literally just died deep down inside!! I can remember in my mind saying over & over “I’m so screwed without God“ I’m so screwed without God ” “I’m so screwed without God!! “Every ounce of any kind faith & hope…. that I once so strongly had just like was all gone!! I must testify that even though I didn’t have a Bible & couldn’t go to church anymore my ever most faithful & ever so precious Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, still to this very day has not ever left my side!!

My life is this song

This was the story of my life, the only difference is, it doesn't even TOUCH the OTHER issues. My father did not kill my Mother, not physically anyway, & he taught me about God, Yet, right after he would molest us. I lost my virginity at the age of 11... then got kicked out and passed around as if (I) was the problem...yet I was, because at THAT POINT, i was completely rebellious & did not even care anymore. My heart and prayers go out to ANYONE having to deal with this type of pain or ANY pain stemming from childhood abuse. That is something that will stick with you FOREVER, until you LEARN how to MANAGE it! I am praying PEACE, LOVE, & LIGHT, TO ALL whom are effected by mental OR physical abuse. You are ALL in my prayers, even if i do not know your names, GOD knows WHO I am praying for each night when I send these prayers up. I love you all! Do not EVER let ANYONE steal your JOY! Reguardless of what happend to ME, I STILL BELIEVE in GOD!🤞 HiS MERCY is what brought not only ME, but MANY of YOU as well, through your hard times. Many are covered & protected, yet do NOT even KNOW it! But you better BELIEVE it!🤞🙏💖🙏

When she forced us to kneel in the corner and pray for salvation or when we were locked in the basement for days without food, where exactly was his mercy? When she slashed me with a knife in the garage or spread gossip to the relatives, ummm mercy? How about when I was locked outside in the winter with no winter clothing and 5 miles from town, I'm thinking it wasn't mercy I felt. When I was removed from home on a CHIPS petition, more mercy,? Mercy is for those who go on to have a great life.

Tell that to the many unborn murdered by abortion, they too, wonder the same thing in Heaven.

This reminds me so much of my mom, and her many abusive boyfriends who I always called “dad,” because my real one was in the military, and my mom always told me that I could have multiple dads because each one loved me. I didn’t get to know my real dad until I was a little older. I used to hide behind our couch, close my eyes, and cover my ears every time my mom and her boyfriend would get drunk and fight. Or I would find an escape in Disney princess movies, waiting for someone to rescue me, as I tried not to hear glass being shattered against the walls. She always got the shit beat out of her. I remember one time being 3-4 years old, and walking in to the kitchen to get grapes sometime during the middle of the night. It was pitch black outside, and in the house...everywhere except underneath my mom and “daddy Jeff’s” door. He was gone when I walked in the room, and I never saw him again after this night. When I walked in, I found my mom in bed with blood all over the wall behind her head, with a newspaper over her face. My reaction was to turn around and go back to my room and go to bed. It had become such a normal thing for me, that I never knew how abnormal it truly was. My grandparents took me in and raised me shortly after that. They’ve been gone around 9 years now (RIP), but because of their love for me, I’m now able to show my sons, and amazing husband, a different life than what I would’ve had with my real mom. I’m 27 now, but I still turn in to the little girl behind the couch when I hear certain noises, just like the one in this video. I’m just glad the little girl in the video had a happy ending. ❤️ EDIT: My mom ended up dying between Memorial Day weekend and June 1st. She was left in the middle of nowhere, abandoned in her car, had been robbed, along with having a black eye.,and her phone continued to be used days after she died. It’s honestly unbelievable. I just have to hope she’s back with her parents, her brother, and my brother, wherever they go when they die. It’s been weeks and we don’t know the cause of death, or the exact day she died. It’s been something out of a nightmare. My son was born 8 weeks ago, and he and his 4 year old brother (who turned 4 on June 12th) are definitely keeping me occupied so I can keep my mind off of things. Thank you all again, times a billion, for your comments. I always see a new comment right when I need it most. Update 06/01/2022: It’s been a year today that I found out my mom died. I still don’t know what happened, I only know who left her where she was, and a few other very unpleasant facts that I won’t add to this nightmare of a comment. I just know so many of you amazing people have kept in touch with my comment and sending your prayers. I wanted to let you guys know that it’s taking time…but I’m slowly healing. I fall back some days, and I’m sure today will be one of those days, but I started equine therapy (horse therapy ♥️) and I believe this is going to help tremendously. There’s nothing quite like bonding with a horse and riding through a field. I can feel her and my grandparents with me every day, and I see her in my babies more and more every day. Thank you all again. It never fails - I get an email about a new comment right when I need it most. A lot of you have helped me out of some very dark places - just by sending a kind message. Let this be a reminder that what you say/type behind a screen…truly does make an impact on the human you’re typing to. It’s easy to forget we’re all just human beings at the end of the day. God bless all of you wonderful people. I pray you all have peace in your lives, in your hearts, and surrounding your loved ones. Life is short.♥️

I'm a Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather from the first time I heard this song I have cried and I'm heartbroken for all the children that endured this horrific nightmare.

it’s 2024, i’m a 31 year old guy and this song still gets me crying my eyes out every time i listen to it - like many others, i was a kid who grew up with a raging alcoholic father who was also on drugs majority of my childhood and every friday night after closing time at the bars, my siblings and i would have to brace ourselves for the raging anger and what always felt like never ending destruction that was about to walk through our front door.

I am so sorry to my bables who had to watch momma go through this for far to long....And i cant imagine how it hurt you and worried that your momma would nt make it back home .. .I am fighting hard today and I promise you that I will not stop fighting for a better life...so many lives changed in so many ways..Thank You Lord for your rescue party ...

2024, this song still brings me to tears. I pray to Lord Jesus that one day, the little children will no longer have to suffer like this little girl, and that parents will stop putting themselves first and becoming raging addicts that endanger the most precious gift ever given to them.

Tell me you didn't feel the power in those words.. when she knew who he was but didn't know his name but knew he got off the cross... doesn't matter how many times I hear it I get goosebumps... even know its just a video for the song but still gets me cause you know deep down he does this for us... he's with us whether you believe or not. Just have faith in him and he will show you... man I love Jesus... nothing in this world has that much love for us. Except Jesus

My parents didn't die. I had my oldest brother who saved me, he hid me and our other two siblings under the bed, as my dad came home in a drunken state, and beat him. After he beat my mom. I will always love my oldest brother for that. He has since passed away, but he will always be my hero. We all ended up in foster care. My oldest brother, was severely Autistic. Now I try to live my life the way he would have wanted me to. Loved...this song will always hit hard on my heart...

This song had me in tears. I mean, she had no food, but was to afraid to ask. And child abuse is just so sad and heartbreaking

That is one of the saddest songs ever in the beginning of it but ends well for the child in the end. If you are blessed enough to have a living child, get your self together and be a good parent. I am thankful I did not have to experience this growing up. For those who did pray thier lives are changed and blessed.

The Divine is watching over us all, even during the most horrific of times. It's difficult to understand why there is so much pain and suffering in the world. Sime people get angry with God. But it is NOT God causing the pain. It is other PEOPLE who have FREE WILL and have chosen the dark side instead of choosing the light! Make the world a better place - choose the LIGHT. ❤

Beautiful song, I am blessed to have had two amazing parents who always went above and beyond to give there whole heart to me and my brothers. My mom cared for people who could not care for themselves, she is an amazing person and great mom. She had even more love to give when she invited foster kids into our home who had been in situations like this one portrayed in the video. She taught us and made us understand how some kids weren't so fortunate to have a loving family and that we should be grateful and open our hearts to those less fortunate. My Dad was also a kind man and backed up my mom 100%, he formed relationships with those kids and showed them what it was like to have two parents that radiate genuine love. I lost my loving Dad in 2021 to covid and it's still hard for me. But I think i understand what path god wanted my parents to follow. Love and compassion to those who were in bad or rough situations. To anyone that is hurting or struggling and being abused, there are a lot of good people that love you and it will be ok. I am so very sorry for anyone who was not as fortunate to have a loving family, I couldn't imagine how painful it must be to have the 2 people in your life that are supposed to love and protect you at all costs, true loving parents would sacrifice there life for their children not bruise them and allow them to go hungry.

Songs like this just aren't put to paper anymore. I dont care who you are in this world, if this song doesnt make you feel something deep inside, then you may just be dead inside. Find someone to hold close and tell them you love them. Its never too late.

I relate to this because my mom had me when she was 18 and she was a wiccan and my real dad did drugs and hes been in jail a lot in my life. When i was 12 he got drunk and passed out and i tried to wake him. Then my mom and grandma came to pick me up. Then i believed that if my own dad cant love me than no man will. On my 16th birthday i saw jesus's face and now im studying to become a pastor

Some songs you remember because of a memory, some you remember part of the tune as catchy ... some songs you remember as more than a song, something that imparts not just a tune but a story or message. This song has ALWAYS stuck with me. As a message of hope, a message to remember kids out there in situations like this, as a message to teach my kids about Christ, to try and help and be open eyed to a family like this in need of a hand up. Yes ... I won't forget this song.

Went to play this song cause I shared on my Facebook in 2014 today 😢 growing up with parents addicted to drugs and alcohol they would fight all the time never took us to church but we had God with us had bible study and our neighbor would take us to church later on a bus. In 2014 I had my daughter on the way Faith is her name but also lost my stepmom she was shot not from my dad he was on his way to pick up get her after being apart for years. When I think of my stepmom I think of how creative she was she could make anyone smile with her bubbly personality she was beautiful did modeling. My dad kinda died that day also with heartbreak regrets blaming himself cause she knew they talked the night before she said she was going to die if she stayed my dad got the 10 mins after the next morning. ❤

This song is beautiful on so many levels, most important it speaks of the true power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and how beautiful His love really is. And anyone who has gone/is going through such a situation can really relate to the story and believe in the Lord to save them! Montgomery is a treasure.

I remember the first time I really listened to the lyrics of this song. It was in the early fall of 2000. I was out walking for exercise while listening to the local country radio station on my Walkman.. which of course gives you the opportunity to really listen to song lyrics that you might not otherwise focus on. I remember hearing the lyrics... "Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in and a small little girl stared at a picture of Him. She said, "I know that man up there on that cross I don't know his name, but I know he got off" 'Cause he was there in my old house and held me close to his side.. as I hid there behind our couch the night that my parents died" I couldn't walk another step.. and stood on the sidewalk and cried. I'm sure anyone who saw me most likely thought I was crazy.. but I didn't notice.. or care. Those lyrics were and remain.. some of the most impactful of my life. A heartbreaking and important reminder of children living in traumatizing and sadly dysfunctional circumstances. ❤😢

It is my belief that certain songs such as this one were written in heaven. And God picked someone and gave them the great & wonderful honor of being the one to put it to pen and paper.

I'd give my life just so every human being could experience the soothing relief of knowing that they're loved by such an amazing being.
