He says that he needed stitches after being raped as a kid, then says he has no idea where his anger issues came from. Denial is the minds ultimate defense mechanism. This is heartbreaking. Childhood sexual abuse, is basically a form of murder.
Agreed
Absolutely, it is so sad. He still have time to work through all his trauma and not let it have a hold on him any longer. I hope the best for him!
Oblivion
Child abusers deserve the death penalty.
He also said no one knew about it.. I’m curious as to how could he get the stitches without an adult knowing?
Can we please make legislation to put child rapists away FOREVER. They do so much damage and typically get so little time away in jail.
Extermination is the only cure for child rapist.
Right. I live right across a school and I have over 10 people on the registry who lives 3 minutes away from me
Jail isnt gonna solve anything
@@kcbomlitz7184 well say goodbye to all the politicians, priests, school administrators. Most are predators behind a wall.
fucked up yo
I feel this guy. Once again, a child's life is ripped from them by an abuser, and the child is then left to deal with hardship for the rest of their lives. They don't realize that they are just coping at the time. I hope Monty gets better. Glad the the abuser got his ass kicked, but wish he had been arrested.
Ripped....quite literally
People that do that to children need to be hung from a tree. You can’t fix sick f$&?s like that.
@@kereyc5751 that pun wasn't needed .
Sadly this is very true…
I lived in LA for 15 years .
I lived with a call girl in Venice , using Chris and H daily .
She moved back to Seattle to become an evangelist, I turned my life over to bodybuilding.
Kicking the drugs is not the toughest part .
The tough part is once you kick , it’s like now what do I do ?
If you can fill the void , your way way ahead .
Good luck brother .
Your smart , polite , child of god . I’m rooting for you kid .
It seems like close to 80% of the SWU interviews have been victims of childhood sexual abuse..... And STILL today Society does not address or discuss it.
By society, do you mean as regular conversations between people?
It's hard to know what to do as an adult. Even harder for a child, much harder. I think governments should launch advocacy ads but they do not have the capacity to handle all the cases.
It looks to me like the UK is trying to create a safety net called safe guarding where professional adults who are likely to come into contact with children in all kinds of organisations are trained to know how to respond to children who say they are being abused and can also spot the signs.
I think we also need to have places for adults who know they have a problem and are willing to try to change.
Paedophile rings or adults who abuse others must be hunted down and dealt with in ways that make examples of the abusers NOT the abused.
In other words create a culture which doesn't harbour people who harm others and secondly make it easier for everyone to heal and move on. That's why having sooooo many people tell their story is important. It's changing our culture, making people think about, want and call for a solution
@@Elandgol agreed!
@@sunlight8299 I like your thinking
Because the people in power engage in it.
When Monty said "I think I'm a good person," it killed me. Despite the world treating him like shit, he still sees his own inherent value. I don't think we have a natural ability to love ourselves. That's something we learn, only when someone else shows us that we're worth being loved - a gift from his foster parents.
There's no reason to love self. Love God and the rest will follow
@@kaya_in_North_Carolina that’s the dumbest shit you could’ve said
@Finessnu2 yes!!!!! So true
The "world" didn't do shit to him it's bad people that did. Maybe next time don't blame the entire world for anyones problems
I just want to make this guy see he’s a beautiful person, that others’ actions don’t define him & he’s more worthy of a wonderful life than most people. Words just fall short.
❣️‼️
he probs has done some bad shit. ure naive.
I like the energy you project my boy
This man needs to rest his mind, body and soul for awhile.
Jesus Christ. No wonder he was so angry as a kid.
Don't leave anyone around your kids alone. Ever.
He said "I had a chip on my shoulder, I don't know where it came from..." How do kids get their asses torn and sewn up and their living situations not investigated? A good man shaped by childhood trauma. Hope he can achieve sobriety, peace and vitality. God bless you bro!!
Exactly but first of all how can we push people on drugs to either protect while while having sex or get fixed like a dog. If you can keep from ruining another one’s life get the tubes tied get the vasectomy
Even if it does get investigated kids are told to lie and say something else happened "accidentally" or he did it to hisself with a toy. It's all screwed up. I thought my childhood sucked but daaaam!
@@feliciaalbanese3338 what does this have to do with tubes?
@@gwensstepbro4966 she spelled it out pretty directly.
Yes an investigation on who needs a bullet in their head. You can’t fix these ppl that do this type of shit to children, they just need to be eliminated!!!!
Keep up with this man. I have a feeling he's gonna get out the cycle and get on the right track. He seems like a smart compassionate dude and just did a great interview with no sleep in 4 days. Imagine the conversation if he was well rested and sober
How could you possibly arrive at that conclusion?
@@thewolf2153 Good question.
Only God knows. I believe James is right tho
@@heatherh.197 If you believe that James is right, then only God can’t know. James must know too.
@james How long have you been watching this channel sir? 🤔
His sleep deprivation is so sad. I hope he gets a safe place to sleep for days & then get can into a rehab. He’s one of the few people on the streets that can physically defend himself.
Thats what opiate use looks like…that’s not sleep deprivation. But regardless of the Etiology, it’s sad.
@@Goodvibes-gu8dv nah you're right but he is suffering from lacc of sleep definitely not opioids in his case
Sleep dep is no joke. Back when I was a dumb teenager I stayed up for over 72 hours with not a minute of sleep and I blacked out. Brain went to bed and body stayed awake. I’m not sure how long I was like that or what all I did but luckily I ended up in my bed and all I saw the next day when I woke up was some trash around the room and some bizarre texts I didn’t remember sending. I got lucky I didn’t do anything crazy. I coulda been dead or in prison for killing someone completely unwillingly. That was a wake up call for sure. Don’t do drugs people and if you’re going to anyway at the very least make sure you eat, drink and sleep even if you gotta lay in bed for hours just to sleep for a half hour… I thank god every day that I had that scare before I started using a needle.
That's what Crystal meth does. Keeps you up for days and days. He has to get off of it and then get some much needed sleep or the cycle will repeat itself. My brother in law is currently addicted to it and he doesn't sleeps for many days and hallucinates. It is actually very scary
@@Glocktopus129
Im always so glad to read a post like yours, where a person gets a wake-up call and answers it.
Monty's pushup practice is an excellent self control therapy. He was clever to realize that.
I thought that too! I wonder if a mentor or teacher turned him onto that.
Exercise also releases endorphins, which is helpful when in withdrawal. Maybe that’s why my dad was such a gym rat, when he would rally to get his life together. A lot of the stimulant addicts I know are. He’s Monty’s namesake, too. Everyone loves a Monty! ❤️
Maybe you didn't hear him in the video. Monty said that his Dad brought him to school one day & told his teachers to please excuse him if he has to get up & do push ups during class. He will get his work done after he does the push ups.
His Dad seems like he gave great advice. 👍✌
His foster father genuinely cared for him to her him into this 😔
So often in drug addicts, you can almost pinpoint the moment when their lives fell apart, and so very often that moment involves getting sexually assaulted. When that happens, especially as a child, it breaks a person on every level. This is the result of the life-long damage that it causes. This is why I hate sexual predators so much, and this is why I protect my own children with my life.
I agree with this so much
@Finessnu2 yes. I think that makes it even worse.
With severe cases yes. Most of my friends didn’t have one single point where they got fucked up.
Sometimes life just wears you down early and you choose the wrong path gradually.
He’s just so tired that breaks my heart . I hope to god he finds help. I hope every person on here finds the help they need
I was sexually abused at 7 years old by my step-dad [at the time. Luckily whenever I finally told my mother, she turned her car around from leaving my school and immediately called 911. This was back in 93-94]....and I think it very much contributed to me being an addict. I'm in recovery for the most part. Hit a few bumps in the road but I have not used a needle to inject her0in/m3th in 5 years and no h in 5 years either. Once you're on the needle it completely changes your life. You think you're on cloud 9 but it's really hell. Made me hit rock bottom and lose everything i had other than a bacnpack, several overdoses, detox and rehab centers, death of others, abcesses even 1 in my lung needing it drained and a long hospital stay. Methadone... Everything and I still couldn't stop. You really do become addicted to the process of injecting, the sex and for me I have no drive being off everything. But I could care less I am just greatful because 5 years is the longest I've accomplished so far since a teen. I am 36 now. Sending positive vibes to this man. I will never say any addict is a lost cause because there is always hope and I'm on anyone's side whoa trying to live again.
Keep at it You are a lighthouse to lost ships
❤️❤️
I’m really sorry that happened to you, Monty.
He should've received counseling for the traumatic assault, he went through so much as a child. His foster parents didn't get him the help he need when he was a child because of what that pervert did to him, it didn't occur to them that was apart of the reason for his behavior.🙄
My thought as well. Therapy after the abuse @ 9 yrs old: might have made a world of difference.
I may have missed it, but did he say he didn't receive counseling?
If I'm not mistaken, he said he never told them.
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 not all parents have the skills to realize that a shift in attitude, uptick on violent behavior, etc, come from something. If you can't figure out why the formerly easy going family member is suddenly a lit fuse: seek professional help.
@@brandyjean7015 I agree, it would've made a big difference.
An incredible man. From the bottom of my heart I wish nothing but the best for him. If he can give this interview and share his story so well despite of his sleep deprivation and drug use, I can only imagine how great it must be to have a conversation with him while sober and well-rested. He would make an amazing street worker, helping kids who are in the same situation as he was in. For now I truly hope he got some rest in a safe place right after this video. Hopefully he will be on this channel again someday soon and share an update with us.
I hope his foster parents see this. And step in to help. Monty needs help. To deal with the abuse he got as a child. THAT is the root to this
So sad what happened to you as a child especially at age 9. Glad you found a way to ease the pain I just hope you find a better way. I know this is just words but you are loved.
He didn't find a way to ease the pain. He just found a new pain to hide the other pain.
Drugs don't make you feel better, just different. Trading one misery for another.
Hiding from problems doesn't solve them, nor does it mask the pain the problem causes.
Addicts aren't hiding from pain. They are hiding from responsibility.
Pain is just their excuse, and their justification. They use it to manipulate others sense of empathy, to gain a pass from the outside world.
@@carllennen3520 I think for some it may be true but for others it isn't.
Well stated, PJ
@@pjrichards3974 human pathology is the same across the board. No one is "special". Motivations are always the same. If motivations where individualized, psychology couldn't work.
I am a former active addict. I know this for a fact. Not just anecdotally, but from being involved in countless group therapy sessions, covering the spectrum of people. Individual stories are different of course, but motivations, and pathologies are always the same.
Your opinion is based in nothing other than assumption. Mine is based in experience.
You can accept this information, and learn something about the human condition, or you can allow your ego to drive you to argue, and stay ignorant.
The choice is yours.
Well said, PJ.
Poor guy, got dealt the worst hand from birth. Hope he can find a way out
I’m a RN (postpartum) in Atlanta suburb. Just took care of a meth addicted mom on her sixth baby. That’s what makes me lose sympathy for these “moms”. Bringing innocent babies into an already difficult world going through drug withdrawals and no future. ❤️❤️❤️ I pray for this sweet man who deserved a better chance.
Is this legit❤️
Agreed
Bless you in your important work, Ashley.
If it seems too good to be true IT IS. That was not legit. DO NOT GET SCAMMED!
A RN who questions the legitimacy of a painfully obvious scam and who has no sympathy for the patients she cares for. Says a lot.
Literally the first meth addict who doesn’t look like a walking skeleton. Man…. I’m praying that you find peace and sobriety.
He’ll get there eventually.
Some people are still able to eat with it. I knew a couple people that were like that.
Not the first lol. He will though.
Not allways true my town has a lot of fat meth heads
Praying wont help
I just have to say Mexican people have helped me out when I was in a jam and they just offered to help, in my life I never forgot that. I could only imagine how it must feel to be abandoned, I pray for you...
Mexican people have helped me out too. They were so kind and generous to me and my friend. They saved my life. And I will never forget them for that.
damn, this dude been through it. He sounds like a good person underneath it all who's been through too many traumas starting at birth. Even though his life isn't great, he seems more self-aware and honest than a lot of people who have had it much better. Also you can tell he doesn't sleep much, this is that "I really *really* want to sleep but the drug won't let me" energy [edit: just when I was writing this he explained he was on his fourth day without sleep]
Yeah fr, I know a lot of street dudes who would teak because they just wanted to avoid sleeping on the street. If he doesn't have a tent or some bum den he'll probably get clean and sort his stuff out eventually. Its the ones who post up on the spot that get trapped indefinitely
Oh poor him
Hope you can find the strength to be out of it, to contact your family and be safe, Monty.
This was a hard to watch upload, but it's important to see these stories so others can understand how different one's path can really be.
So very true. People just don't understand how horrible some people have had it and what it causes internally...
Going to a rehab center for the first time tomorrow. Been addicted to perc 30's (fentanyl), for 2-3 years. Really wanting this for myself, just a lil scared and nervous. I know the first week is gonna be ass, but im really happy im getting the right help, and hopefully when im out i can live normally and have actual money to spend, and be passionate for things again. And my last wish for all this, hopefully i can find my babygirl again once im out, she admitted herself in about 4 days ago, we both plan on going the full 30 days. Wish me luck yall, and love for all the former addicts, or still recovering, or even still using! YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, NEVER BE AFRAID TO REACH FOR HELP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. ESPECIALLY FI YOU ARE YOUNGER (im 19) I PROMISE YOU ITS BEST TO GO FOR IT NOW BEFORE ITS TIME TO ACTUALLY START BEING financially STABLE, I PROMISE. WISH GREAT LUCK TO ALL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@booster boy Good luck! It won't be easy but take it one day at a time! You got this!
You got this!! Good luck!!
You can do it you are worth it 💜💜
I hope you did well.
Poor thing he is so lost and confused.
Sending love n light to this beautiful peaceful soul.
Such a sad life one can live and especially what he has been through is just excruciating to fathom let only watch. Rest up ☺️
Monty, you’ve still here and you’ve touched so many people with your story of your life so far. Please stay well and accept help where available.
You are loved ! And you deserve to be treated with compassion and kindness.
seems like a nice guy - i feel so sorry for him that he's stuck in this rut and how black men in general are exploited and feel that their value is in their race and their sexuality.
I don’t think my sexuality or race is my value nor does black men in general this comment is ignorant and disrespectful speak on what you know and don’t generalize a group…. I’m assuming you aren’t black
Agreed! It's so common place that it's made to be a joke. It's ingrained in our culture. I want so much more for black men.
I hope yall got him a hotel room for at least a few nights.
He REALLY NEEDS 2 SLEEP comfortably & safely ASAP…🥺 He needs rehab BADLY!
He’s definitely knows how he’s going to end up if he keeps on this path. Hope he gets the help he need. 🙏🏽
How do you know what he needs?
@@bloomerdavid umm HES BEEN UP FOR 4 DAYS
@@bloomerdavid It is obvious to see that this man needs a good night's rest. He is nodding out and talking gibberish.
@@bloomerdavid It’s CLEARLY apparent, but ok…
@@beauty3328 RIGHT! Some ppl just want attention or an argument 🤦🏽♀️😂
When I dealt with crystal meth addiction, it wasn’t the drug I was a addicted to. The drug itself I hated. It’s the sex addiction the drug created. Sex with out amphetamines became so impossible to enjoy or accept. To this day it effects me. Don’t put your young boys going through puberty on adderal. It’ll ruin their sex drive or the experience itself for life.
It's similar with sex on heroin for me. First few years sex on heroin was amazing. Couldn't have sex without it. Heroin lower your testosterone so sooner or later you have no interest in sex whatsoever. But it all comes back 1-2 years after you quit but I'm still emotionally damaged by it. Have to learn to reconnect with all my emotions again like a baby.
Healing to you both
Did Xanax or valium help you sleep when you were using
Well said.
Wow! This is the first time I have seen anybody mention this problem. I was addicted to taking adderall for the way it made sex a million times better. Now I have a hard time just like you said. Once you experience it, sex without amphetamines is kind of lame and that really sucks!
Good morning! It’s a little after 5 in the morning here and this was much appreciated 🙏🏽
Thank you for everything you do. Sincerely
watched this on the SWU app last night so already saw it but liked the particular rawness captured in this interview. really powerful ending. thanks for all the work mark. hope he got some sleep and wishing him recovery one day ❤️
O my gosh there’s an app!!! I’m downloading it right now, thanks!🙏🏼
I cry for the 9 year old boy that I still see sitting here. You are not what happened to you and you’re beautiful. Reach out to your family, they miss you. Make it right, go home ❤️
You don't know this
his brain was pretty much shutting down at the end
Good morning good morning good morning! If you are starting school here or anywhere I hope you have the best year ever!! can't believe it my baby is a senior today... These are the days that make recovery and being sober so much sweeter...
And will always be your baby. Glad you are so grateful. They are lucky to have a parent like you !
Happy 1st day to your senior!! My daughter started 4th grade today. I pray that all the kids have a safe and healthy year. I took a shower this morning and made a promise I would not have a drink until my birthday. I feel like both my husband and I are teetering on alcoholism. I don't drink everyday but when I do I go hard and I hate feeling hungover. I think by the time your in your 40's it just too much. I had my fun and now it's time to live by example. ❤ seems like everyone drinks around me but I'm making some changes and it starts today!!
This one broke my heart...he is 34-Im 35. A millennial...someone my age going through this. I know it happens but Im getting ready for work-my career. I have a way to support myself and its not as hard as Monty has to. Uh this one hurt. God take over Monty and keep him safe covered and protected by Your Armour Lord
Amen. 🙏
People PLEASE think before having children. Don't bring kids into this world if you can't provide them with Love, and a stable life free of drugs and alcohol. Children don't deserve to have horrible childhoods.
Yeah, easy enough for those in Blue states, but for those in Red states, it’s not up to them whether they have the kid or not. It’s up to the government.
You’ve never lived in a third world country I see
@@tres311 most people watching haven’t.
I am glad I am alive and was born even though my mom was an alcoholic and she’s the one who died from alcohol after she gave me a LIFE. Your comment seems nice but maybe you should think
Think about what you just said…so you wish Monty had never been born? He said early in the interview that he sees himself as a good person. Every person’s life has value. I know it’s tough to watch Monty struggling, but he still values his life, and so should we.
I do agree that we should try to plan and set up our kids for the best chance in life, but it is simply impossible that every situation can always be perfect. People born from bad situations matter, too. We should not just say they should not be born; that’s a false image of love.
Whenever I hear of someone molesting a child my blood boils. I’d pay to get ahold of a child rapist. Made me happy to hear that dad whooped on him. If anyone ever touches a kid I love that way they’d better run because I’d go to jail to get them if that’s where they are.
This is probably the most authentic episode I've seen so far, thank you. I have very much experience in drugs, I have a good live and I always thought that I want to try Meth some day, just to try it. But I won't. This was.. very repelling from this. This is so sad. Thank you for the job that you're doing
Please don’t. My very first cousin, James, did. A a few months later in May of this year. We buried him. He hung himself. He was a good man, and loved. He called no one, left no note. Will not get to see him again until my time comes. Playing with Meth is playing with fire. Please
@@mustangnawt1 Thank you. And I'm so sorry for your loss🖤 I won't do it
So much trauma. Heartbreaking.
So horrible the situations that he was put into. I feel for the young man. I hope he can find peace and slow everything down. Also mark the ending was powerful.
What a sad and eerie ending. I hope he got to sleep. Poor baby. God bless the weak and vulnerable. 😓❤️
wow listening to this guys story… he’s been through so much! praying he finds sometime of recovery from his past and happiness in his future
Wow!!! I love how he talks about his foster parents, how much he loves them and they love him back. That doesn’t happen to much with foster parents. The push up thing is so interesting! Whatever it takes to stay calm. Keep your head up Monty!!! You can turn it around! I believe in you!❤️
I see so much light in him. He can make it out. I hope for his safety and recovery. He will do great things when he turns his life around.
Ahhh Monty you deserved to be protected. I hope you will fight for your sobriety and peace will follow. You ARE WORTH IT!
Thanks for this. I had to watch it a few times. Much love ❤️ both of you
Definitely need to do a part 2 after Monty has had some sleep!!
I am falling asleep! I hope he gets to go to sleep soon. Mark letting him sleep at the end of the interview was probably the best power nap he had the the four days awake.
Oh wow, the ending on this video… You are deserving and loved Monty. Get rest, try to find healing and peace.
This guy would be a saviour to kids who've experienced similar traumas, victims need to. Speak to someone on the same level. Monty could do a world of good if only he could find it within himself. Great guy wish him the best...
He seems like a gentleman. His just fighting his demons at the moment. I hope he heals and gets better. He seems genuine and sweet. God bless his heart.
When it ended without “thank you so much for telling your story” I teared up. He’s so tired.
Sending this beautiful soul some love and healing and light. ❣️❤️💜
So sad, his soul is sweet. The ending was the loudest part of the interview. 😢
Good Morning Mark and SWU Family 🙏🏼
Hope this man finds the way before seeing him destroyed in future updates. If you read this, now, for sure it’s not too late
I really hope he tries to contact his family. They seem like good people and I hope that they can see how much he loves and appreciates them. His father teaching him to redirect his anger through physical activity and sports is genius. Unfortunately Monty needed more and he still hasn't gotten it. I believe he can beat this and go on to live a full and happy life if he gets the help he needs.
I hope you know you were heard, understood and I hope you get good rest and do good❤️
I hope he is using protection and getting tested often. If he has a STD, he will spread it to men, women and others. This is a very dangerous lifestyle for him and those he's intimate with. I'm praying for him.
go tell him
Of course he isn't lol Look at him.
This one hurt. Can’t find the words. Monty you are in my prayers. Please get some rest and find some therapy.
So much trauma from day one. You’re a wonderful person & I hope you can break through this ❤️
Sending you my strongest vibes to pursue the kind of life that will make you healthier and happier - which you so fully deserve, young man. …Mark, I hope he got a decent nap in your studio & thanks for supporting him.
That's was a raw n informative video
what an absolute beautiful man. i want him to know that I believe in him, and he IS NOT his past.
i am truly sorry for the suffering that he went through! he did not deserve that. he is worth the world, and more! 🖤
This is so heartbreaking. Most of
These interviewees are from foster families and it’s so unfortunate to see where these people end up.
How is this heartbreaking its 18 mins long released 16 mins ago and you commented this 2 mins ago you couldnt have watched the whole thing brittney
@@imchillin8824 you’ve got to have something better to do than calculate the amount of time the video was posted from my comment. I literally watched it as soon as I got the notification. Go mind your business
LOL. BUSTED!
@@nhlibra 😹😹😹
The trend seems to be unplanned pregnancies and parenthood. Heartbreaking.
I just finished watching Dream's 2 part interview. Monty is like her.. a great storyteller and a beautiful soul. This was heartbreaking. Monty seems like a wonderful dude with some pretty bad wounds. I really hope you do a follow up for him
He seems like such a nice person. I hope he finds his way
Monty it sounds like you have awesome parents who love you. You can leave them drugs use your anger and life examples to help others like you. Who struggle with the same tramas you went through. You sound like an awesome person who deserves to be happy and do only what you love to do. I am sure you are an awesome barber. Best wishes I will be praying for you ❤️
Heartbreaking. I appreciate you telling your story. The pushups are clues to a solution to your anger. By defusing the mind you can overcome any negative state and the best way is a simple breath meditation. All drug abuse is inability to process strong emotions which stem from negative and traumatic upbringing.
I have to disagree about what you said about all drug abuse is the inability to process strong emotions which stem from negative and traumatic upbringing. I didn't have a negative or traumatic upbringing but got addicted from having a surgery and was on pain meds for so long. I'm sober now but I had no negative or traumatic anything in my life.
@@jamierupert7563 I didn't express myself correctly I meant all of his drug abuse not all drug abuse in general. Most people have never experienced deep meditative states and your case still proves to me that weak will can be overpowered by strong addictive physical sensation as experienced with pain medications.
God bless you and I hope you are able to get clean and back with your family... I've been Clean 14 years now never thought this day would come id be an old timer but it only takes one time have to be vigilant
My very 1st cousin started doing Meth after being a lifelong alcoholic. He took his life in May. Hurts. My wish for U is to beat all addiction and reconnect with those who Love you. They never stop loving u and hoping the same. Know U can do it. Just need a safe place away from all influence and someone clean who can help take care of u for a month or 2. And u have to want to stop of course
We appreciate everything you do for these suffering communities Mark. Thank you for showing compassion and respect 🙏 👏
Hope this guy can get the peace and sobriety he needs 💖
Not being judgmental at ALL…
I love these guys for posting and more importantly SHARING these stories…bless you BOTH
Lost my brother to suicide, he was hooked on meth. I pray for this man today and for my brother.
Holy fuck ! me and him have such a similar childhood..I pray this man finds peace and healing he deserves so fucking much I'm so sorry baby! Please take care of yourself
You can definitely see how this lifestyle takes such a tole on your body, mind, and soul!
This breaks my heart he such a lost soul send prayers and healing he finds his way❤️🙏🙏
May you be blessed with all you need in order to get through this battle stay strong!
Being addicted to drugs before you're born is a pretty crappy deal. At 34 he's probably set in his ways and aware of his future. Hopefully he'll do a follow-up interview. Always interesting, thanks!
#FACTS
You should interview more people that are now clean and sober. I've been on methadone for 7 years but ckean from heroin and all other substances. I'm married and employed. Let me know if you want a recovery interview!
I think more people need to see that it in possible.
I was just thinking the same thing, 6 years clean from heroin and working as a data analyst with a master's. Still on suboxone maintenence which I'm not thrilled about, but nonetheless, it would be great to see a few representative "normies" who are in recovery tell their story. Maybe not exactly the focal point of this channel, but it could be interesting. Congrats on your sobriety and marriage btw!
Same! 4 years clean from crack and heroin. Came from all types of abuse, lived on the streets, skid row to be exact and got clean when cps got involved. I couldn’t imagine losing her because of MY CHOICES. I’d love to see a recovery story! Congratulation to you both!
@@brittneymartinez5257 amazing for you making such a transformation for your kid! Amen 🙏

Sending love your way man. You can get out of this lifestyle. Embrace your disgust with it all. You can live well.
This interview hit me extra hard for some reason. 😢
The rape was so vivid. Upset me. Made me angry!
@ Mark
Continue doing the work that you do. Hope this guy finds peace, sobriety and recovery 🙏🏽 💙 ❤️
Monty My heart goes out to you! You need some actual love and a safe place to detox. You are well spoken and intelligent..you just need time to step back and unwind!!
You are loved Monty I pray you get out this life style I’m crying watching this
I'm living my 2nd night on the streets and there's no way that I could sleep somewhere because I know that people will either steal everything I have or hurt me or sometimes both. I really feel for this guy and I understand him I really do he's a wonderful guy I wish could see that. He deserves so much better
God bless you
Powerful ending, I hope he is alright
Bless this man and good luck to him .
I am so sorry you had to experience so much trauma at a young age, Monty. I also had a lot of anger and sadness during my childhood. My foster parents brought me in at 5 months old. Adopted me at 4. Then was verbally and mentally abusive, ripped my heart right out. They don't say it but I'm dead to them. It's hurtful. You didn't deserve ANY of that.
I really hope you get the help you deserve and at least sobriety from crystal meth. I know you don't want to live like this anymore.
I also hope Mark was able to find you a spot to sleep...or at least let you sleep there because that is severe sleep deprivation and it could kill you.
Please take care. We're all rooting for you!
I hate when people say all users “chose to be addicts”. They have cases like these all the time where people are born addicts. Poor man. Monty if you see this you are a great person with a kind heart and I’m sorry for everything you’ve dealt with in life. I pray you will find comfort and peace in life and get sober when ready 💛
Edit:to all the addicts I AM ROOTING FOR YOU. I love you and I PROMISE you are worthy and have high potential in your life. Stay safe and blessed and just know you would live an amazing sober life :))
That first part of his story with the friend of the family violating him hurt so bad to hear him talk about. And then how he says he thought it was normal, that piece of crap took that kids innocence away
Wow.. Powerful Conversation☯️😎✌️
Peace and wellness to you my brotha...Praying he gets the help he so desperately needs#Peace💚
