"I had a pretty loving childhood" and "my mom pimped me out" should never be in the same story

Mark, I am from Harlan County, Ky and I absolutely love your videos. Thank you so much for bringing light to the hardship that comes with living in poverty stricken Appalachia. Growing up here is not like growing up anywhere else in the world. You will have very great experiences and meet great characters. I have a character from Harlan County that I would love to see you interview, his name is John Terry. John is big name around here, he was a very wild 6'3 300 pound bad ass who nobody messed with but loved to be around (unless he was drinkin' that day) and now he has evolved to be a wise old man. John Terry is a true character and representative of Appalachian life in Eastern, Ky and I would love to see you interview him. He is the last of his kind and deserves to have some form of remembrance. It would make for a great video. A lot of people are commenting so if y'all could give this a thumbs up so that Mark can see it I would greatly appreciate that! Please get in contact with me and I will give you his address and Facebook.

I am so proud of her for acknowledging her feelings so that she doesn’t hurt her children. Wow. My heart breaks for her.

That absolutely broke my heart. If you read this Ashlyn, know that someone is praying for you, and know that if you look, you will find the confidence that you need to have a rich and rewarding life, surrounded by those who can profess love in the same deep way that you clearly do.

I've been sober for almost a year now, from an addict addicted at the age of 10 until 32. I'm almost 33.I've been high my entire life. Today I'm sober, its HARD! Constant reminders everywhere but I'm determined to stay sober. I say alllllllll that to say this..its hard and for anyone out there going through it you're not alone! Stay strong and focused! You got this!😊🤗

It breaks my heart that she identifies becoming mature with doing sex work for her own drug habit rather than her mothers 💔 She has no clue how beautiful she truly is and how much value she really does have in this world.

She's a beautiful woman, inside and out. Very resilient, intelligent, and a big compassionate heart. Wiishing her the best of luck.

I was raised in Eastern Kentucky. Thank God my father had enough sense to move us outta there. No jobs except for the coal mines. He packed us up and moved us to Georgia until we were adults then we all moved to North Carolina. We had such a better life because of what he did. No telling what would have happened to us if he hadn't. I will forever be grateful for him.

I’d love for you to interview native Americans on reservations.

Almost every one of the people interviewed say they had a good childhood...and then once the details come pouring out, it turns out to be a complete disaster.

I have been in Baltimore my entire life. One thing I love about this channel is it really shows that poor people in the mountains and poor people in the hood are not so different after all.

I know this girl personally. I was her sponsor when she was in treatment at Cumberland Hope Community Center in Harlan, KY. She is a beautiful soul. Remembering her sober&&running across this yesterday made me cry like a baby. God love her, her family&I pray she gets sober again, before it takes another beautiful young life too soon.

I was listening to how fast she was talking and pouring her heart out like a flowing river.People want to know that someone cares about them and their life is important.I am amazed that she graduated High School early and then went on to Nursing School and worked at a hospital.She articulates very well and expresses herself well even though she has been through a lot.I believe in redemption and pray that Ashlyns life will make a dramatic change for the better and she will get to experience happiness and love.

Speaking about her mother: “I wasn’t born to be her sacrifice for her own fuck ups”! That’s a powerful statement.

Man it broke my heart when she said her kids were well taken care, and one of them lives with her mom.😳 the same mom who pumped her out at 13? Dang, and she is still abusive? Man. The generational trauma is real. Hope she finds peace, and those kids really are ok.

She is very articulated, and intelligent. I can't imagine the woman she would be, if she had a different childhood, and a mother that knew how to be a mother. Breaks my heart to see this. I am praying for the right people to come into her life.

Anyone else noticing how physically beautiful this girl is? If she had one quarter the pampering of any kardashian girl....sitting there with bad teeth, no makeup at all, bad maneurisms and still her natural beauty is stunning.

I resonate with this story so much considering my own Appalachian raising. I don’t know how I survived without going under at times. I am so blessed to have an education and better socioeconomic hope now. Life in Appalachian poverty is grueling, tiring, and will test your very will.

My heart goes out to Ashlyn. It's a hard life she's led, but it sounds like she is still trying to muddle through it. I hope she finds contentment and happiness. She deserves some of each.
