Hi everyone, it's me, Darlene! My channel is about whatever I feel like recording at the moment. I make changes when I get sick of something and I move on to something else. I have a potty mouth so put on your adult ears and keep the kids away if you think they'll be destroyed by hearing me say stuff they hear in the real world, probably even at home. I'm the least social youtuber you will ever know. Very anti-social and I talk freely about that and about many other things.

You didn’t confuse me. I like the rhythm of counting. Thanks!
Thank you for the awsome video, you aways explain in a clear and helpful manner.❤
Thank you for sharing this pattern. You have done a beautiful job on it.
Good for you!!
Easy to comfort a broken person 😮💔
Thank you sooo much for this video, gosh I really needed it.
I have a sister and sister in law with birthdays on July 14th! Happy birthday Tony!
I absolutely love your non perfect teaching and quilts. Please keep them coming. I used to struggle with profectionism and am now happily making kantha, boro etc wonky quilts. Its so freeing!
Darlene you takeasimplesqyare and turn it into a variety of ideas.
Darlene i grew up in a very abusive childhood as well and i hear you loud and clear honey. Learn to love yourself and say not no BUT HELL NO!! How dare that control freak treat you like that! I would never want to be a part of that demonic place. Im so proud of you for standing up for yourself! ❤❤❤
Thats a painting❤❤❤❤just wow.😮 Would love that on fabric😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That AA meeting woman appears to only let you do what you specifically do not like to do. I truly think she is in the wrong place. These meetings should be there to ease things for the participants, not add to their burden. I have a feeling she does the same to other members also. Looks like she enjoys her power trip, putting pressure on people, especially vulnerable people. Awful. - It would be awesome if you could “confront” her. Even if it is by just giving her a note with links to this video and the previous one.
❤😢❤
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realize it's really you! I've been around a longgggg time! lol Still going still growing, still glowing strong! Love to all!
Darlene,I just Love your raw honesty❤
Hopefully "she" has also thought over her actions and will approach others in a more understanding manner.
I don't think that will happen. Pretty sure this is her thing.
@@darlene.michaud That is sad then.
. A great human being who has needs and feelings like anyone else. Disregard that ogre of a bully who tried to coerce you. I’m betting she has more issues than everyone else put together. Hang in there. I love your honesty and frankness 🌈👍💖.
This one hit home. Thank you!!!
Jason is awesome and kindness matters, you don't always know who will benefit when you are kind to others. In this case so many people.

RIP Pete...can u film a little of the tribute?? Sounds like a really cool way to honor him.
Don't think I'll record any of it. I want to be fully present there and not watch any of it through a camera or phone.
❤
Thank you for your honesty and bravery in sharing your life's journey. I have been following for several years, from when your mother was alive in Maine. I have seen you heal and grow and candidly share your path with us. I have never been an alcoholic, but I can relate to everything else in your story. I continue to struggle with my issues, but press on and find ways to cope and heal. I want to let you know how helpful your channel has been for me. <3
I have heard so many times over the years, “He had such an evil dad”. “He didn’t know how to be a loving dad, because of the way he was raised.” For years I believed that was a good enough reason. Thank you for saying your truth, it is also my truth. That bandaid was huge for my dad and he used it to the max. Drunk or sober we are responsible for our actions. Amazing how that stinking thinking follows so many down through generations. You are an amazing person and have come so far in your life, thank you for your honesty. 🌹
it's been a while since i have watched you in action,and i had forgotton just how refreshing and candid you are with your demos,i have loved watching about 4 shows one after the other,and am delighted with your ideas today that i saw.my day was pretty sad in the sewing room,and i spent some time unpicking etc,and came out with my finished salvaged shopping bag that had given me no end of grief,went to show it to hubby and found the pocket was done really well...if i stand on top of my head.hopefully tommorrow will be better.i just wanted to clear some scraps and try anything goes,but i guess my heart and probably my head just weren't in into it today,oh well!.
I respect you so much for your constant honesty and sense of responsibility. Your voice about what happened to you and also speaking about what you did is amazing , it will hopefully help others .❤
The only person you have to believe in to get through any troubles in life is YOURSELF.
You do help others
Great one Darlene. You have helped me SO much over the years as we both come from a similar background. I love how you are so honest and are able to convey how such deep trauma can be explored to understand that it wasn't our fault. We were just kids who hungered to be accepted, loved and validated. It has brought me to live a life of deep honesty and transparency because my Mom was so perfect at being deceptive and to this day I hate everything about a liar. I chose honestly and glad you do too my friend. Keep on doing great videos, you'll never know how many you have helped.
Some people heal or work through issues by going through the actions or the motions first; then they adjust thier internal perspective. Other people adjust thier internal perspective first then do (or test) the actions or motions which accompany the changed perspective. It seems as if you are more of the latter group. It may not feel like it when you take that first or even subsequent steps outside your comfort zone. But by the time you step out, inside you have decided you will do so anyway.
AA began with a Christain church base. It took a LOT for them to agree to the "higher power" approach or concept and, you are in Biblebelt USA. AA does allow for what i call different chapter "cultures" within the confines of the basic AA rules which is why i personally think it works so well for so many different folks.
Remember, forgive doesnt mean forget; to/ for yourself as well as for/ towards someone else.
I love and respect how you think, and work through things. Your mother continuously verbally abused you. That boy physically assaulted you by putting his finger in your ear. The woman at AA assaulted you by trying to force you into doing something you did not wish to do. I also believe that I deserve to congratulate myself when I do good, and I take full responsibility when I fuck up. Have a great week, Darlene.
Happy birthday fellow July birthday friend. Mine is 31.
You are sitting boundaries, you don't have to apologize for doing it. I'm so glad to see it happening.
Wow. So deep, so wise. Thank you
I hope some day you can go back to that group. I think it would be good for you. I'm sure there are other people that have done that and left. I just really wish someone would have followed you out to make sure you were ok. I hope you abd Tony have a great week to spend together ❤
Thank you for the video, and yes, it's helpful. ❤
Felt would be a nice finish for the back side. Great idea for a pendant.
I am 💯% so proud of you! I used to be active in NA/AA, she’s dead wrong bc my first “assignment”was to make coffee!!! I was never pushed, it was gently requested, but only bc I needed to lose my ego and not make it about me and my anxiety/nervousness. ppl like that woman not only push us away but destroy any will to sit in the meetings, I felt cult ish, not fellowshipping, so I backed away, and only have a sponsor now but I’m not doing the steps yet I’m 5+ years clean, from a different drug. No one should demand we do anything but have the desire to not pick up. ❤
Happy Birthday Tony 🎉
When you were a larger woman did you dance?
I didn't go out.
The guy who put his finger in your ear…..that is an assault. You were within your right to clock him one.
I personally think you handled it right. You explained to her that you didnt feel comfortable and she ignored your feelings.
Interesting how we still search for the fault within ourselves. In my opinion it wasn’t a meltdown it was a reaction to someone trying to take control away from you. Maybe your reaction was strong but it was legit.
I wish I lived closer I would love to go clubbing with you!
Don't you wanna know if that poor young guy came back? Lol!
I LED A SIMILAR LIFE AS YOU. I DRANK AND I FEEL I NEGLECTED AND HURT MY KIDS. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF. I KNOW I WAS A LOUSY MOM FOR AWHILE . I HAD A LOUSY MOM. SHE NEVER TAUGHT ME WHAT TO DO. SHE SURE AS HELL TAUGHT ME WHAT NOT TO DO . I ALWAYS TOLD MY KIDS I LOVED THEM .THAT WAS SOMETHING I NEVER HEARD FROM MY MOM. MY ONE SON HAS FORGIVEN ME BUT THE OTHER STILL RESENTS ME. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO MAKE AMENDS BUT HE JUST HATES ME. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO WHEN OR IF HE EVER DECIDES TO STOP HATING ME I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL.
