cowboy tech We’re rooting for you Shane! Believe in yourself and know that you CAN do it. You’ve done it before and you’ll do it again! Sending love and light to you ❤️
cowboy tech ~ I am sorry for your horrible childhood/upbringing. I know you both are good people born into a horrible situation/trauma/neglect no discipline or tough love. I hope nothing but the best for both you and your Mom. ♥️♥️
cowboy tech love is the key.. I wish you nothing but the best for you x
I’m proud of you. God bless !
First step is taking the first step..good luck bro..cant wait to see your update in 6 months 👌🏽
She doesnt want him to get clean. Cuz then she stays alone. She cant get clean so she wants him down with him. Selfish broken woman.
Gunel Ismayilova I agree .... selfish woman
Codependent
@CKW 151 Those two are the definition of it. Sad.
I reckon they've boned
@CKW 151 you got that right! Misery loves company and she's definitely miserable. I've been an addict for years but I wouldn't ever do drugs with one of kids. Shame on her 😔
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
When she said that people tell her she is a good mom I literally laughed out loud
She seriously thinks she's the cool mom. A legend in her own mind.
She meant kids thought she was a COOL mom for just letting them do thé Drugs. I don't think they meant she's a GOOD mom, even if she did think that's what they meant.
I had to rewind, she’s killed way too many brain cells and had no soul…ugh😢
Oh, she didn't say "good".... she said they say she's the "best" mom. Smh. So sad.
Mom. Why don't you grow up and show that pic son how to be an adult. Difficult for you as you've never grown up. Sarah and Rachel had aucky escape. Full of buckshot. Mom should be ashamed. Chewing like a old cow on child. No way anyone would stoop as low as yoj
No Shane you are not to blame for how your brother turned out. Your parents are to blame. At 13 yrs old you are a kid. Its not your fault.
Brittany Miller absolutely
Thanks
Brittany Miller agreed.. it annoyed me when Shane said it was his fault, that Mum just sat there as if validating that was true. Yes Mum needs to take a massive amount of responsibility, however the trauma is inter generational, she’s lived it to. But as a mother she should have let the trauma end as soon as she was pregnant, so it wouldn’t carry onto her kids. Shane, your kids only have that one opportunity for you to get it right as a Dad.. You’ve clearly got so much potential, get better, so you can be better and do better for those 8 kids.. With mum’s 9 kids, your 8, that’s a lot of hurt people in society..
Exactly. 100% parent's fault. Shane's fault is 0%
@@amaraamara2712 It can stop with Shane getting the help he needs and healing the wounds that his kids have from him not being there when he wasn't. And healing his deep wounds... the most radical thing that we can do, true self love, is to heal the ancestral wounds that run through our lineages.
He needs to separate himself from his mother. And be there for his kids.
I agree she cant support her son it's sad shes a addict very sad
Nikke Nakke ewwwwww
@@nikkenakke3079 you wouldn't say that to his face so why say it
AMEN.
@@nikkenakke3079 wow Nikke you must be a hill billy silly Mcgullicutty.....lmao get real
“When he sells drugs, he ain’t playin’.”
Such a proud mother! SMH 🙄
She’s happy because he probably gives her the drugs for free . So she has no problem with it smh
I see two broken people who only know that way of life. People are so judgemental and it’s all they do. Just sit back and judge when they’re utterly pathetic themselves
@@gunsmokegaloreyt6840 not half as pathetic as a mother being proud of her son’s drug war stories.
Mommy Dearest 🧟♀️to the fullest!!! Unreal!
@@HiGlowie Exactly. She's disgraceful!! No doubt sleeping with his friends.
He’s in love with his own drama and momma seems proud of the disaster she created. They seem content in their dysfunction.
He was not content. He has a CZcams channel and hes changing his life for the better and moved away from his mom
Shit rolls down hill
@@hannahk6239 what is his youtube channel?
@@maridelpabroquez5493 cowboy tech
He made a comment on this video that's how I found it
Is it that hard for you to have sympathy for someone with a penis? She screwed him up, he is a victim.
Shame on you, you hag.
I see absolutely no guilt on this mother's face. She has lost all emotion.
Probably doesn't want to. I imagine the guilt and shame would be overwhelming, so turning to another high and shutting those emotions off is probably way easier.
Sarah M Labrasca Brainwashed her son
@Sarah M Labrasca Maybe taking responsibility would break her. She knows.
It is what it is
She looked a bit proud when he started talking about how much money he made selling drugs.
Never seen a mother sit and listen so comfortably to her child talk about what he is she takes no responsibility this is sad
Jade Baker come meet my mom. She’d sit there & do the same, while I’d blame myself. At least I would’ve been j was younger. I don’t anyone. I was also raised in Michigan.
You been near people high on crack before, luckily not. But this is their disfunctional lives, everything bit of their story is sad.
Well she looks proud and disassociated from her son during this video. I think she is sly.
He's grown, she doesnt need to take responsibility, she needs to take her s#!t and go. He needs to stop making excuses for why he decides to get high again and again its lame.
She’s a junkie not a fucking school teacher
It’s amazing how Shane gets all the sympathy when he’s left almost ten children fatherless.
I agree and hopefully they all live better lives since he can't be a role model to any of them and talks like he only has one.
If you take away anything from these videos, let it be that addiction is a disease. Just like you can't control diabetes, an addict can't control their disease. Hopefully his kids are healthy and happy, and don't make the same mistakes as him.
No one can dictate another person's heart. You don't have to feel anything for this man.. Respect the next person's views though. How do you expect this guy to be a model dad when you're listening to the things being said & done by woman that birthed him?
@@megane11222addiction is not a disease plz don't compare diabetics with drugs.
10 kids?! I didn't catch that 😮
I grew up being abused in all ways, I grew up partied , did drugs and drank. As soon as got pregnant and had my son, I left all drugs and drinking behind, the party life was over. I was still going through the pain from my traumatic childhood but instead of drugs I sought counseling. I wanted to give my son the best chance in life, I was not going to purposely do something to sabotage his chances of succeeding in his life. Today he is a wonderful smart successful 28yr old man. Please if you have children don’t be selfish and get into drugs and if you’re into drugs you shouldn’t have children
Thank GOD for people like you..Addiction happens and its always sourced in pain and the need to escape..but when a new life is in your hands, the game changes. I'm so proud of you for putting your son before you. I'm in a similar situation, I didn't do quite as well as you regards my addiction, but I didn't let it overtake the drive to raise my son right. Bet you beam with pride when you look at your son. And so you should. Best wishes to you Wizzy
You are amazing! You defied tremendous odds and stopped the cycle of abuse and addiction and this internet stranger is DAMN proud of you. You are a hero.
You should be very proud of yourself.. ❤
Thank you!!!!
You’re amazing
Jesus, stop bringing children into the world you can't take care of. I don't blame people for having an addiction but leave innocent kids out of it.
Blue Dot I know right ?
I'm in a ten year H addiction after years of Coke & party drugs. Last 5 years not been with a girl as don't want to bring another person near this shit & could not afford or want a child around me. It could be the making of me, but I'd want to be clean first.
Mother, son, daughter with father addiction to me is very odd.
Blue Dot EXACTLY
@@DMWBN3 I'm sorry to hear about your addiction. I'm a child of an addict and I respect the hell out of your decision not to bring a child into the world. I'm so lucky that I never got into hard drugs and alcohol. I hope that you are able to get some help and find peace.
@@DMWBN3 there's help out there why haven't you got on a maintenance program such as Suboxone or methadone or the vivitrol shot
I was on skid row for a few weeks when I was 16 in 1978. Joined the Marines from there when I turned 17. I escaped. Thank God.
Alan Smith amen!!! God is with you!!!!!! 🙏🏾
@@justjen1682 I'm not sure who to chalk it up to. I hate to think God left the rest stranded.
Alan Smith You had a made up mind and God provided a way for you. Some people don’t want a way. I made up in my mind to be set free from cocaine cold turkey and now Im in college and the goal is to be a substance abuse counselor. When you take a step a faith God will provide the rest of the way for anyone who decides to get serious with their life!
jennifer brown that’s amazing hopefully you are willing and able to lend many helping hands, and I can only imagine the humility you hold true. I too want to do what you are doing. Keep it up, keep us posted
Matthew Skocz yes, I’m willing and able. Never thought that this will be my calling. My heart is with the addicts. Only the power of God could deliver me from alcohol marijuana pills cocaine life long nicotine addiction even tried crack once and I know God blocked that high cause I didn’t feel anything. I’m so thankful. Next week I start my summer classes. I’m excited. I have my laptop now. Cause all my classes will be online. I figured this will be a good way to keep my mind focused on something positive instead of all the chaos going on. But yes, we are needed. I don’t know your story but I bet you are called to help the weak get strong. Thanks for your encouragement. Stay safe❤️ keep n touch
Under 20 min and I am completely exhausted by this interview.
It's the never ending story
He gave his wife heroin from a stranger to help her with the pain of healing from childbirth. I've had a c-section and got extra strength Tylenol. If that story is true, I hope that baby was formula-fed.
That was wild to me, too... when I got my c-section, the hospital wanted to give me drugs, and I was like bruh, I'm about to take care of a baby, no thanks. They gave me Tylenol in the hospital and insisted on giving me Percs to take home. I literally took 3 percs throughout my entire healing process. I have drug addicts in my family (probably why I'm watching this), so I was terrified of getting addicted to anything.
It's not
I use to be homeless and addicted on the streets of Kensington Philadelphia shooting everything heroin, meth and was bad with crack cocaine. I was incarcerated on 13 different occasions. By the grace of God I have three years of continuous sobriety. It is possible and I will be praying for you 🙏
Me too, same story...4 years by the Grace God. I'm super stoked that you're doing well!
Thats amazing good work to both of you 🙌🙌
Hey that's fuckin awesome... I hope that u are still sober and we'll.. may God bless you
I recently relapsed after 3.5 years of sobriety, and now I'm detoxing from heroin once again. Please keep with the program
So proud of you STAY STRONG ❤️
This poor guy NEVER STTOOD A CHANCE WITH THE PARENTS HE WAS GIVEN.......
Yeah. Sad. He's obviously intelligent and a nice person, or would be without his addictions. Heartbreaking
This comment hits hard 💔
@Tamara O. YOur child literally defines your life.They way you look at life, your relationships, your characteristics. What you are saying is easier said than done
Shane can BE the change!
@Tamara O. Some can overcome childhood trauma to the point they don't become drug addicts and homeless. The higher the level degree of trauma, the less likely that is. Way easier said than done.
Seriously reminds me of me and my mother. We used to use together she passed away 4 years ago and I found her dead the day after my 30th birthday I've been sober ever since. I miss her dearly and wish things could've been different but I honestly don't think I would've gotten sober if it wasn't for her passing. Hoping both of them can make it out of this alive. Sending love and prayers. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss but grateful there was a silver lining in that loss for you.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad while I was out there active. I found out on Facebook and started getting a ton of messages sent to me. I didn't know he was dying of cancer . I reached out to my family, no one reached back. My mother left me out of the obituary as well. I'm the oldest of 3 girls. That looked bad on Mom, not me.
I was disowned by my family as a result of my disease. Not supported at all. They were ashamed and judged me to the hilt. So yeah that really kept me sick.
One day. I had had enough. Ready to end my life. Had already done 4 rehab stints.
Long story short. March 21, 2015, my life changed forever. But for the Grace of God, there go I. Praying for the still suffering addicts and alcoholics out there today. 🙏 ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. I pray that things are better for you in Jesus' name. I PRAY YOUR STRENGTH IN THE LORD IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.
This guy is such a good story teller. I was just cleaning my room while this was playing in the background and his voice is just so strong. Hope they're doing better now.
Right! I was cleaning too and doing my makeup while I listened to him. His voice is very strong.
All I have to say is STOP HAVING KIDS!! if you choose to destroy your life at least have the decency to stop the cycle of abuse
Yana Churiy 100%
This! Its passed on generationally. Broken people creating more broken people. Yet, the reality is, these are the folks that have tons of kids.
@@SivaJivamukti 100% true. Fk knows why they think they'd be able to do a good job. Selfish fks
Yana Churiy absolutely 😊
Couldn’t agree more. You know your life is a disaster, it’s your prerogative to maintain this lifestyle but a child has no choice. It’s sad to see people that continue to have children and are not doing everything in their power to get clean.
Son talks about wanting to die. Mother swivels on her seat. She doesn’t want him to get better. A very sad Co+dependant relationship.
She's a disgusting human
@WorkTillYouDie don't be fucking stupid you have a choice and responsibility to keep your kids safe drug free drink free I blame the individual for bad choice reckless choices
@@bomicky403 it's not that simple
Yup
@@lloydcenter-ko6xg I'm afraid it is that simple I'm a mother and proud to say a really good one how dare anybody bring a child into this world only to approach motherhood in a reckless irresponsible manner its selfish and unforgivable that's what it is end of if you have a drink,drugs problem do the decent thing and get off them failing that keep your legs closed selfish people
He deserved a momma to protect him. She earned her son saying " and me and my mom were doin lines" While she is sitting right next to him, like that's a normal thing to hear your son say 😥 my heart and shoulders just dropped. I wanna just hug you Shane. Have the urge and craving to be the man you can be, and that your children deserve. You'll be in my prayer❤
@@GaxlyWhat? That is supposed to be your mother not your wife.
I hope you’re safe and in a better place! It’s never too late to make positive changes. Thank you for sharing your story. My heart goes out to you.
The mom acts like she’s having a conversation with some stranger. Literally no emotion or empathy for her own child. So sad 😞
Destiny Monegan They basically are strangers. She had no part in raising him and he’s an adult now, he’s also an asset to her while living on the streets. Sad but it’s reality!
She’s not there anymore that’s why
@@Zvxny666 She checked out decades ago, right?
Drugs take away all emotions.
Very much so
The son says he was to blame for his brother being exposed to shit at a young age ?? His mums sat there just oblivious to anything ... Heartless Cow , She doesn't deserve a son .
I agree she needs to step up be a mum to her kids be strong support her kids
I agree
I couldn’t imagine doing drugs with my kids. Wtf is wrong with people???
amen
Don't insult the poor cows
Nearly every video with more than one person in it, one of the two gets villianized in the comments. BOTH of these people are drug addicts, BOTH have lifelong stories of trauma, BOTH never had a fighting chance from the moment they were young. Both of these people are victims. The son is a victim of his mothers lifestyle the same way that his mother is a victim of her own childhood. No one is evil here, no one is “nasty” or “vile” or all the other words I found in these comments. Both of these human beings need serious, long-term, intensive care to cure this illness, and some compassion and empathy never hurt anyone.
I know these two irl. I do not know Kelli very well but I was incarcerated with Shane for about 45 days. It was a treatment in county jail. Pretty much everything he says is so over exaggerated or embellished it is almost fiction. I could go over almost every story he tells and expose the truth or what really was going on bur instead I’ll only say a few things. 1.)while I was in treatment/jail with him he defacated more than once in the shower and he was well passed the w/d symptoms. I saw him trying to step on the feces with his shower shoe and squash it down the drain. Why? No body really knows. My only guess is he didn’t want to get out of the shower and use the toilet. 2.) In group the counselors had to repeatedly tell him to stop telling stories and let others speak. 3.) He was rolled out (forced to leave) the original unit he was in because he was constantly calling his mother and demanding she go out and “work” to get money to bail him out because he said there were guys trying to rape him in the shower. This was all in Oregon 2017-2020. My name is James Walker and I am still living in Sourhern Oregon. I have many skeletons in my closet and am not claiming to be an angel or saint. If you can’t be honest with yourself how could you ever expect to grow or change. Growth and change come from introspection and if you can not be honest with yourself than introspection is impossible. Anyway…. I’ll end my comment with this. I hope the best for you Shane and Kelli. Keep it real bro, you’re not a bad guy and do not need to make shit up to be accepted.
👏🏼 Thank you for your truth! I hope you are doing well today. :)
I have passed by this soft white underbelly interview for a couple of years now and finally decided to click on it. As soon as it started I realized that I know these two (both of them) from somewhere. I can't for the life of me remember where I came across them but I'm positive I've met both of them. I've been clean for 6+ years at this point and don't know whether I know them through treatment at some point in the Detroit area. I can't quite put my finger on it but I'm positive I've met these two. A mother/son duo would have stuck out though. Very strange.
@@dannnnydannnn5201 have you ever been in the southern oregon area?
@@WhiskeyFish85 never in my life. And I haven’t been to cali in damn near thirty years. I’m positive that I came across them in Michigan. More than likely in Detroit but possibly in the Ann Arbor area. Came across quite a few people that were from their hometown in Michigan as well as Toledo, Ohio which is right across the border from there.
I obviously don’t want to put my name out there but looked them up on Facebook and share exactly one mutual friend with the both of them who’s from their hometown as well.
Not trying to be disrespectful but how did you know that he would be doing this interview? Were you subscribed to the channel already, or do you just supposedly just happen to run across this interview?
The mother makes me so angry. She takes no responsibility for her children at all. She had 9 and all went to foster care or the two with an abusive father. She set there and let her son blame himself for the way his brother turned out and she was the one out getting high while pregnant!
Disputable!!
Agree she’s almost cocky. No good.
Mom is a crack addict!
I mean...Shane has kids too who he has also abandoned for drugs. If you're going to be angry at least be consistent. This is a family pattern that was passed down from who knows how many generations.
Should've been sterilized!
It’s weird that they keep saying no one lets them see the kids.....like that’s a bad or unfair thing. Should they really see the kids? Let’s be real. Kids shouldn’t be anywhere near these people.
If I'm clean and doing the right thing I should be able to c my kids absolutely and that's exactly what's going to happen im not giving up lile my mom did I would rather die then give up on what's mime and my desirabilitys as a father that's y im on my way home to fix what I what I need to
@@shanestiffler4896 I hope you can stay clean and don't relapse luckily you have a kid and woman to get clean for hold onto that my sister has no one but me and my parents and we're not enough for her to kick it hope your life turns around for the better
@@ItsThatKidVurd I'm sorry for her if she needs some one to talk to im here some times that's all we need is someone in the same spot to talk and relate to soo im all ways here much love
You sound crazzy
PERIOD
Shane is quite the story teller. He Is the master of embellishing as well. Mom is something. Both are their own worst enemies.
Kelly and Shane proudly admit embezzling 100k out of "Paul" her "sugar daddy". I think they're thieves.
Most interesting interview I've seen. I couldn't stop listening to these two.
The relationship with his mother is toxic
Toxic AF ... I feel so bad for him
Both my parents are addicts, me and my sisters are normal and alive.
Dollface Cakes very accurate way to put it 👌
OR.... something else. How many fuck-ups do you ever see with their mother 'in tow' or 'partner in crime'
Their relationship seems a little suspect... not just drugs. They're running from something BAD that one or both did.. and simply getting themselves lost and outta sight in Skid Row.
@@dollfacecakes with a little REAL incest thrown in for flavor.
That woman is a sad excuse for a mother.
That's not a mother. She's just a useless breeder.
Don't forget the useless fucktard of a father!!
How she sits there like a proud mom, as he sits there and tells his fucked up story is disgusting.
Bobby Fischer absolutely! She gave birth but she’s definitely not a mom.
Jazmyn Brown great
I had a similar dynamic, but my mother was a terminal cancer patient with a 2 year prognosis. I was 14. We were both so scared. We ultimately did use her pain medicine together, starting my addiction. (She never had an affliction For opioids until starting them for palliative care.) Sometimes the dynamic of Parents and children using isn't so cut and dry. I place absolutely NO blame on my mother for my habits. We were victims of a very, VERY rough, messy, turbulent, and unforgiving time. She and I were both consumed by the struggle of her cancer disease, and left with many questions about this journey called life.
God bless you and help you ❤
Absolutely, a journey of the soul. that young man loves his mom so much, missed her so much growing up and has lived his whole life (so far) trying to make his mom proud. Now landing in Skid Row he realizes he and his mom want different lives. Shoot, he makes ME proud with the strength of his determination when clean; working, saving, buying homes, etc. I was so happy to hear him say Oregon has everything that will make his life whole again and he is more than willing to do what it takes to make his family whole again in Oregon. He and his mom share a lot in their young life journeys. Yet, I think Kelly missed that relationship with her mom so as to not forming bonds with girls/women friends. Shane has a big heart and mentions several times (with emotion in his eyes) stories of "buddies" . Thank you, Mark In reading some comments their focus is solely on Shane and they seems to shun Kelly's life experience.
His mother laughs when he says the house was completely filthy and unlivable? That’s so sad.
I noticed that. Crazy.
@@eileenridgway6800 They can't even help themselves.
This is worst case scenario when you’re your kids friend instead of their parent.
Meh, I disagree. Both my parents are addicts- I was the parent. He’s got a good head on his shoulders he can get sober.
Exactly right
What you’re describing is true when the parent is chemically healthy and enabling their kids. But how do you give your child something you don’t have, yourself?
If you introduce somebody to crack or heroin or meth you’re not their friend
Oh my God! That was so riveting so incredible that I could not stop listening. Their story is Worthy of a bestseller.
I've seen A LOT of these videos and this one Iistened to every word. Shane you are a great story teller actually...I enjoyed listening. I wish you both nothing but good coming forward. In your personal lives and with your relationship with sobriety, it can be such a lonely dark place. You both are interesting ppl and blessings to you going forward 💞
I can't believe he is blaming himself for raising his younger sibling badly. It was not his task to do this, it was his parents'. He was a kid himself.
And what about how he’s been raising his own children? It’s the same thing. Everyone here is judging his mother, but what they fail to understand that if this was filmed 40 years ago, the mom would be sitting on the left and her father would be sitting on the right. It’s a vicious vicious cycle and all these people solely blaming Shane’s mom are a bunch of judgmental pricks. I feel sympathy for BOTH of them. They are trapped in a cycle of self abuse.
Shane doesn’t realize that the person who set him on his path to addiction is sitting right next to him.
Yup, and unfortunately he’s now no better than her because he’s perpetrating the same cycle on his own kids.
Whom ever did this interview needs to tell them how strange this dynamic is!!!!
Actually, I think he owns his choices. He's not a victim. He doesn't blame anyone. THAT, actually is refreshing in Victim Snowflake world we live in.
@@GP-kl3zp Acknowledging that people hurt you your whole life and put you in bad situations leading you to make bad decisions doesn’t make you a snowflake. The things you do to children affect how they grow into adults….
@@hotshopper1717 Hey, Amina, you are absolutely correct. There should have been a solidus between between Victim and Snowflake, as in Victim/Snowflake. Not all victims are snowflakes, but snowflakes not only seek out ways to be victims of just about anything they can, they actually try to seek offense and victimhood on behalf of other people. Ridiculous. Point is that these people in the interviews, with their hard lives, should be commended for being able to point out the source of their issues -- which is difficult enough to talk about, for sure -- but then they get on with life. That does not at all diminish what happened to them, but they don't walk around as if somebody owes them something for it, either. Totally agree that the things you do to children affect how they grow into adults -- take a look at the elementary school curriculum in many parts of the country, teaching little kids about "Sally has two mommies" and critical race theory at six and seven years old. Hitler said it best: "He alone who owns the youth, gains the future." Thank you, Left Progressives.
Shane, I really loved hearing your story! I'm in recovery, and my father was homeless on the streets throughout my youth. At some point when I was 23, we reunited and He took a bus to live near me in Arizona. Being able to kick it with my dad and share war stories while cruising around was an eye-opening experience, to say the least.
I battled hard, but because I stayed by my father's side and carried him even though I was weak, he was able to complete a program and be set up with methadone maintenance, medical treatment for his heart difficulties, and a dog that I presently hold. While Dad was flourishing in life, I was fighting for my own change. I attempted to spend as much time as possible with my father, but the system failed him from the start by placing him in section 8/free housing.That is a conflict I will never comprehend.
My Dad overdosed this year in January as a result of temptation knocking on his door. My father always had my support, and we both understood how heavy hearts that love the most endure the greatest agony. He'd give you the shirt off his back. HE WAS A GOOD PERSON WHO DID A BAD THING. In any case, people may look in from the outside all they want, but the reality is that life is difficult. Parents have problems, and addiction has no bounds.
To be honest, I'm still hurting from not going to see him as much as I'd wanted, but I accepted that the universe was protecting me by making me stay busy. The relationship with my father was important to me because it let me know I'm not alone and that deep suffering is a family affair, but that this is something that can be changed and that you do not have to live in a state of perpetual anguish. Breaking the pattern and arming our children with a good set of tools for what to anticipate might be the turning point.
I feel you have a lot more life to live, as does your mother. Don't be another statistic because I can tell you that losing a parent to an accidental overdose causes shattering, gaping holes in a child's soul. Every day, I have to tell myself that I can't alter what happened in the past, but I can influence what I decide to do in the future.
Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.
You do you. I miss my dad too. Great man. Didn't know he was dying because my family had all written me off for my disease. Judged me severely. I endured a ton of trauma - as a child and as a married mother of 2 beautiful children. But for the Grace of God. Haters gonna hate. Ignore those who have no clue about this disease that wants us all dead, not in rehabs or churches etc. Sending love from Toronto Canada ❤️
The look of adoration in Kelly's eyes as he speaks is crazy to me.
Mom needs serious help, she looks so proud that her son went through all that shit. Toxic af, Shane please go on your own and clean up. You have so much potential and are stronger than you think. I believe in you.
I’m so pleased to hear you say that - the mum Kelly just sounds like she s having a good old chin wag with other addicts - it sounds so much like the verbal drivel we addicts do when stoned - there’s no introspective from both but particularly from her ... BUT THE BIGGEST FEELING I HAD DURING THIS WHOLE INTERVIEW IS SHES LOVING TALKING UP HER SONS DRUG STORIES , exactly like you said .He very much needs - sadly too (, cause it is his mum , ) to not see her at all .I’m very worried for him
@@mandykitson7039 Absolutely. He has so much potential on his own and I know he will do well away from mom....sadly but also in a good way for him to make change ❤
@@mandykitson7039 I too,am an addict,always have been….like you say,watching Kelly and Shane it’s one addict bouncing off another,being the others hole in the ground they keep falling into and not walking around and not being able to survive alone by learning this that holds them back.We all have vicious cycles and bad habits..Humans are creatures of habit.I just hope Shane and his mum end up somewhere happy in their lives,and healthy as they can be too..
Something tells me this dude is funny af when he’s trying😂 “I had 5 different Walmarts looking for me” 😂 Another one is.. “she left with a Black guy again” 😂😂😂 Bro you know these females be after the extra large lol. On a serious note tho.. Ill pray for this family. Come on you 2! Your better than that shit! Get you a purpose to strive for or some big goals to work toward. That’s what life is all about! A job is only bored when your not working for someone (like your kids). You got kids Bro! Live and work for them. And to mom.. stay sober for him and his kids.. they need you. Come on y’all! Break this cycle In Jesus name!!!
@@pompeysalz2976 I pray you get sobriety and keep it for a wonderful sober journey.. your comment made me smile, you are so real and seem like such a beautiful soul.....thank you for sharing this...💙💎💎💎
Why is the mother so amused at her sons misfortune? She is seriously a cancer in Shane’s life...
Hanna Schnadig Narcissists are wonderful!! Fuck her!!
She likes the lifestyle. She isn’t trying to get help.
Mom has ultra low self esteem the kids the only one who will chill w her .
I know them. They fuck! She talks him into it everytime. There used to be a video they did for money of them fucking in a hotel room. Dont know where it is now though.
The Heavy Truth gross!
While he's telling everyone how much drugs he's able to do, the mother is looking at him chewing gum, nodding and thinking "that's my boy!"
I know right. So twisted.
Proud mama,
She definitely gave the impression of feeling pride instead of pity.
I think she thinks he’s lying or something too idk
shane you're clearly so smart and logical, despite your substance abuse. you are worth and are capable of so much more than what you're going through (not sure where you are in life currently) i hope you make something good for yourself and your mother. god bless. you seem like a very good man, sincerely.
Dude has 5 baby mothers, is addicted to drugs, and lives in a tent, yet still has a huge ego.. Conquer yourself.
He’s pathetic
Hahahaha what a funny comment
Apparently, he left his mother and went to go to rehab. His channel is cowboy tech. I’m glad he left her tho, she’s fucking disgusting.
He’s just out of rehab now
It goes both ways. be honest
The cycle never ends!! Stop having children!!! My god!!!
Hell yeah.
Agreed
My Thought's omg I say this at least once a day. Why can't ppl use birth control if you don't want to take care of your kids
My Thought's Birth control costs money and is not dope, so...
Tallent's Travels I think clinics like planned parenthood hand out free BC pills and condoms
I wish Mark was making videos back in the 80's and 90's. Maybe he would've come across my missing uncle who was living on skid row at that time. Thank you for trying something different.
I pray y'all get clean and stay as strong and even get stronger. Y'all are some grate people💯🙏🦾
Its almost like his mom is proud of her sons drug "accomplishments" 😒
I wouldn't be surprised if the son was pimping the mom. He does black the mom meth so someone has to do the hustle to support habits.
All junkies are proud of how much you can take and not die
Elena G sad thing she is
It's awful 😭
@@amberkelly8055 yup :(
His mom being proud of him for how many drugs he can do at once is so sad
8 kids, 5 baby mommas....2 words....snip, snip...and do it "stat".....UNREAL!!!!
To people who get rubbed the wrong way by Shane talking about his stories in a "proud" way..."glory story" telling is very often a part and symptom of active addiction. Whether mentally active or physically active.
Aka it's a symptom of deep sickness. To be in glee speaking of how much you can hurt yourself and still get away with it.
Also if someone's in recovery and they speak like this...watch out. They're likely going to relapse in a matter of time.
He’s so handsome , and never had an actual chance sadly .. I hope he gets help and sadly away from her
Thanks and i am
cowboy tech WHY did i know you were going to comment on this shane, god i love you.
It’s a shame that he became addicted because he really does have such an inspirational sense of determination. It’s just bizarre to hear him speak so proudly of criminal activity and drug addiction. With the right kind of support and help, he can change his whole life around.
What about his kids? This whole thing is profoundly sad.
cowboy tech very handsome man! You can do this!! I’m sorry about your upbringing. So horrible. 🥺 no child deserves what you were handed. Drugs are so evil 👿 and of your mom isn’t ready, and you are, you have to move on. It sounds like you want better, and already know this! I’m from Oregon, spent my whole life here! Absolutely beautiful here! 🌲 🌊 🏔 nothing but prayers and good wishes to you! Remember you are not your past. As a child, you are not responsible for your little brother. Your parents needed to be parents!! Your kids deserve their dad. And your grand baby 🥰! You can do this! 🙃
“People say, oh you’re the best mom...” no. No that definitely did not ever happen. Not once lol
Jonneyw Williamson delusion is a hell of a drug
@@jennifer-zs5wi 😂😂😂😂😂
I believe other junkies were saying so 😂
She probably thought she was the "cool" mom.
@@je.suis.prisci this is exactly what it was
YOU GOTTA DO A FOLLOW UP WITH THESE TOO. His will power is extraordinary. and I still see a bright future for him, with the proper love and support he can come back, he hasn't lost his mind yet, he still has a strong enough mind to come back from addiction a fully functional human. He is very smart, he can tell a story in full way, and he can see many sides of the story, he still has his mind!.. his mom on the other hand i'm not sure she still has her mind, but he definitely does. I have so much hope for him. and he is very attractive so i can see why he has so many baby momas.
my father introduced me to cocaine, ecstasy and oxycodone when I was just turning 14 and we continued using together until I quit speaking to him in my mid 20's but im a father now and I'm separated from the mother of my son but I never stop trying to be a positive part of my son's life but I learned how to be a good father by having a bad one who always abused me but I always think to myself that if my son can have a good life and I can make sure the cycle stops with me then it will make all the pain I've gone thru and will go thru worth it.
I know this is a interview, but I just can't stand how his mom is so relaxed. Tears would flow from all the pain if I put my son threw that situation. So sad....
I agree with you! She is void of emotion.
Yes, she seems so happy go lucky as if all is right in her world.
Why do you think she's still on drugs.
She isn't a real. Mom she is a pos I got two bm like her they r co dependent and toxic af
They are heathens.
I don’t get the mother .... just sitting there letting her son ... believe he messed up his brother .... she should say ... no son your not to blame I am you were a child ...
New Mexico BR BA She’s very irresponsible 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 not a good role model at all.Such a shame.
Based on the way that she didn’t say anything or make any type of gestures while he was talking almost made me wonder if they told her not to; to just let him speak when it’s his turn to speak & vice versa. So that they get their chance to speak without being interrupted. I could be wrong, just how it seemed to me.
You missed the part of the mom being an addict?!! She is his partner in crime, sad.
She never grew up..
You are watching addiction.
You shouldn't " get it".
I’m not judging this situation, but this brings tears to my eyes. I couldn’t imagine this situation.
I LOVED how the interviewer just let him talk that was GREAT!
There is nothing more evil than a parent participating in their child's demise.
100% agree
Agreed! Makes me sick to my stomach.
Amen
Horrible. 😦
I don't think life and people are that simple though, what happened in her life for her to become that
This is a perfect example of the vicious cycle of neglect ,abuse, and the horrible damaging effect it has on the human soul humans are very resilient and at the same time delicate this poor guy is in so much pain and I don’t think he’s ever going to live a clean life this is the most depressing mother’s son relationship she almost brags about the things her son has done.
julika adams I agree. Such broken human beings. Very sad. I can only hope he doesn’t continue the cycle into a new generation
He said, "She started smoking crack, left with some black guy and was gone for three weeks."
I almost spit out my dinner. Tell me why did I find that so hilarious?🤣
Then proceeded to say “I have a half gram of crck and she came running” lmfao
His life is scaring me straight af thank you to the creator of this channel
I'm in school to get my Doctorates in Nursing Practice and my change project is on opioid crisis in America and it all came from watching these videos. Thank you for bringing awareness.
If you haven't seen The Pharmasist on Netflix you should check it out good luck with everything!
You go girl best of wishes to you in a career so complex ❤
You go girl that's amazing!! 👏👏
Aurora Wolfe thank you
Thank you all
Sadly he has become just like his mother...addicted to the drama. They were both just LOVIN retelling those stories! ☘️
Did they say they do meth, too? If so, that could be what has them talking so freely.
Right I thought the same thing
That were made up cause I’m like this timeline is insane
@@annabellebeckwith9283 the mom did meth, he was into heroin
Lotta heroin addicts do meth too to wake them up.
Shane, you tell your story with so much detail. You are an encouragement to me
Jan 13 2022 i will be 10yrs clean and free from active addiction
One day at a time is how we do it
Safe the youth
You are easy to listen to and have so much to give
Easy does it
I see that you have done catching up on so many was hoping to get one on this story. I really would love to hear they both got sober. Either way would love to hear something about them an update please.
Don't judge them. We're meeting the addiction right now, not the people behind it. This is what addiction is and how it works. So talking about their inherent worth is a futile exercise in moralism.
No, don't tell people "don't judge". I'm judging!! Everyone has bad thing happen to them , EVERYONE! You don't get to make bad choices over and over and use excuses to avoid personal responsibility. Addicts are the most selfish people on earth! People CHOOSE the lifestyle, they can CHOOSE to leave the lifestyle.Claiming a bad childhood or hardship to use and Hurt others is a slap in the face to every person who's had a hard life and yet NEVER does drugs and CHOOSES to stay clean, do the right thing and fights through the pain or gets help.
@@colleenwhitman8456 your right .we do .and all we can do is change so watch me do just that subscribe to my channel you'll see me do that and much much more......thanks colleen for your thoughts on the subject...
cowboy tech are you for real? Because if you are then- it’s a great start to your career (starting a youtube channel)
Well said.
Colleen Whitman no one here is NOT taking responsibility for what they have done. No one is denying what they’ve done. They are giving a reason as to why their behaviour and actions are not normal. For example, “I slept in a garbage bag for 2 days because I was high on heroin the entire time”.
This is very tragic I went to school with Kelly! A few years ago she had sent me a card with money and a dream catcher to help out with my medical bills due to a double mastectomy. I had no idea she has been going through this......so judge not less you be judged we never know what people are going through..
Or what the family is put through due to their addiction
@@knuckleheadstreet4000 You too!

@@knuckleheadstreet4000 LOL thank you for your for your feelings! It made me smile and laugh! Big Hugs to you my friend!
His explanation of the viscous cycle that is this disease of addiction is spot on. Then to further prove that these curses are generational mom is one of 9 from a broken home and she has 9 kids that she completely screwed up too. We have to break the cycle.
The worst kind of person you could be is one who uses drugs with their children. I have compassion for addicts. I don’t have any for mothers who ruin their childrens lives. This video made me cry. I hope somehow Shane finds his escape from his biggest poison. 😞
This dude is a legend in his own mind, n Mama is just so proud.... equally as sad as it is disgusting😔
Teri Gallegos lmao so glad someone said it
She's a very poor excuse for a mother.
We are all imbalanced in some way it is better to ask in which way are you imbalanced. I sense that Shane May suffer from delusions of grandeur and a bit narcissistic. The mother said the old lady died of an overdose Shane shut her up really quickly. Shane May like to steak of himself as being very moral but I sense a lot of what what said was indeed not completely true . Maybe I have trust issues
I dont feel bad for them at all. Dont here what there sayin they love this life. What i feel bad is for the people they came in contacted with and all the innocent babies.
Proud and happy to have this handsome young hunk by her side.
I really have a hard time when a Mother does drugs with her Son...A Mother is supposed to protect and keep her son away from drugs...I don't understand that at all...
We need an update on Shane. His mom is so toxic. She doesn't want him to go back and try to see his son and get his life on track because she doesn't want to be alone... He has so much more life to live.
i’ve personally can relate to addiction struggles and similar traumatic experiences. do not wish for anyone to go through that ever, but i smell so much cap for the son it’s unbelievable.
He is completely wrapped up in his own myth.
He is completely deluded.
My mother was on crack from the age of 18 and I never did it I been molested and abused and I turn out good I got three boys never did drugs my kids never been in the system I'm a professional hair stylist and medtech nurse I thank God I wanted better I was an orphan I was a foster child but I have a story to tell and I am a true child of God the stuff I been through this could've been my story😢🙏💞💞
Wow....a miracle!

You go girl. Praise God.
Tamara Smith Amen

Whew.. I’m exhausted after this!
Well it's inough after 40 minutes. Thank you Shane and mom, hope you will be all right, God bless!
As a recovering addict, I feel for these people. Their stories are truly heartbreaking. Unlike many of these people, I had a great childhood, with amazing parents who were married for more than 30 years. I got into a relationship that turned toxic. He beat me, I ended up in the hospital, he ended up in prison, and I was left with a lifetime of pain. Doctors started me on tramadol, then Vicodin, to Percocet, to morphine (the opiate epidemic is real). My tolerance level became so high that my dose just wasn't enough. I began to buy pills to add to my prescription, till someone introduced me to heroin because it was easier to get and cheaper. The drugs stopped helping with the pain, I wasn't doing it because I was getting a great high because I wasn't. It became necessary in order to function. I considered myself a functioning drug addict, until I lost everything. I lost my marriage, a new home, cars, a 13 year career, everything except my 2 children. As I was left with nothing, I refused to lose my kids and they deserved a better life, so I got my shit together. I have been clean for 5 years, I'm working on a bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Cyber security, my 16 year old daughter is working hard on a scholarship to the University of Arizona, and my 14 year old son is an honor roll student. I'm proud of how far I've come, but I'm also extremely disappointed in myself for letting my life get to where it was. The life I was living was disgusting and I was doing horrible things. All of it taught me so much, one thing being not to judge people, because we have no clue the battle a person is fighting. So many people don't make it out to the other side, and if it hadn't been for my children and a good support system, I wouldn't have either. I pray each of these people find the strength to survive and can one day find peace and happiness.
You should really be very proud of yourself and your kids
Wishing you continued success and many blessings
Your strong mama bear ,nothing in life is worth our kids.may God be with you in all of your steps.
J9 Collins this is about them, not you 🤣
Gmen pg she never said that it was, she wrote her story in the comment section to show that she understands the place that these two are in. Pretty simple to comprehend
Success story. Have you considered being a guest speaker at drug and alcohol rehab centers? Your story offers hope
So sad! My one wish would be for people in situations like this STOP having children. STOP the cycle.
Amen!
Yes. But just telling a broken person this won't help. They need incentives for long term (reversible) birth control like IUDs
Casey S manning your gorgeous
Great comment .
How nice knowing there are people who realise this.
Thankyou
@@wandarask8444 you talk crap

Great interview
17 children between these two humans. Lovely.
I'm sure one will be president some day
Literally the plot of Idiocracy coming true... Fuck
Future looks bright!!!
5 baby mamas 8 kids and a granddaughter? How????????
@@Divineearthangel777 well hes not the worst looking...
The mom is just oblivious. I can't imagine being so apathetic about my own children.
Poor woman had a bad childhood....why on earth even have kids or so many of them...crazy people don’t learn do they...just continue the evil cycle...drugs are evil.....hard addictive drugs. Evil.
Make people do evil thing that last decades.
@@velvet2406 From her story, it seems she had children taken away from her even before she got hooked. At least she said it in a way that implies that "I didn't have custody of any of my children, and then came the drugs". Also when Shane says at the beginning that she moved out when he was 4 "when she got hooked on crack". Looks like drugs weren't even the main problem with her.
It just might be too much to really wrap her head around all the damage she has caused. It's probably easier to get high and cut off her emotions than face them head on. They say the truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable. It takes a brave person to face the truth and some people may not have it in them.
unbelievable story. Some people are just not meant to die. I really hope They don’t attract trouble again. I love that they keep trying, ❤❤
Sad sad story of their life. I cannot wrap my mind around the life of drugs and hopelessness. I hope they are on a better path. Was there ever an update on either one?
9 kids, went to prison 3 times? We need to start issuing licenses to become parents and you gotta renew your license each year. Some of these parents need to be banned from having kids🤦♀️
And the really sad part is how so many good, kind, stable & healthy people out there would love to have kids, yet are infertile... And these two addicts just popping out kid after kid after kid after neglected kid
It’s actually scary how convincing they can be when they want to come off as normal, productive citizens. When they CHOOSE to, they can magically pull it together. They’re not so sick that they can’t fool everyone when they really need to! That being said I f*****ed up big time, wasn’t careful enough, didn’t background check like you sadly need to just to date someone these days, and didn’t discover that my child’s father was just like this pathetic fool until it was too late. I love my son very much but I agree, they should be sterilized. I can only pray this is his first and last child! And thank f**** god I had the resources to not “need” him in our lives!!!!!
MsD: Suprised you havent been downvoted more. Ive said the same thing online and people start calling you Hitler. What amazes me is how many people believe breeding is a right instead of a privilege. Just because the plumbing works doesnt make it "magical" or special, its just basic biology.
This is a perfect example of “hurt people hurt people”. I hope they can muster up the will to break the cycle.
I sympathize with addicts, know some personal, and struggle with my own addictions. What I cannot stand is those that blame everyone else. It's the exes fault WE lost the kids, it's my friend's fault for offering me heroine, etc.
Watching some old SWU videos & came across yours Shane. I spent 20 long hard years of hard core addiction & the last 2yrs of my using was living in a tent/camp in Temecula, California, panhandling, running with & chasing an abusive man (who recently died of an OD a week after Thanksgiving), shooting black, smoking meth, drinking, & losing my sanity & God-given light. Despite being extremely broken, lost, depressed, sick, & tired, on July 16th, 2016 I found enough strength, took Christ's hand, & got out of the darkness. You & your Mom remind me so much of a Mother & Son (2 sons actually) homeless duo that I became close to & hold a special place in my heart. Since getting clean/sober I have gone through many challenges, especially with having complex PTSD & finally facing/faced my deep rooted mulit-traumas, but it's a beautiful life & I'm living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM A HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE. I am the type of addict that Dr's, psychologists & therapists had deemed hopeless & helpless, & I should be dead 10x+ over either from self or rough living. I hope you read this & as you do, you & Mom are safe, clean & sober, & have some peace in your mind & heart. I pray that your precious children have their father & grandmother as loving, positive influences in their lives, for this life you've been living is not living.
While Shane was bragging about making 5-10k a day selling coke and throwing thousands of dollars at strippers and his mother, buying cars and motorcycles, I kept waiting for him to say he sent even a dollar his kids way. But he never said it.
I thought about that. He did have kid items in the house before amanda failed her drug test. I wanna hear from the kids of his. He was never there for his kids.
Fckn loser thats why
@@ruthb3870 yeah he said "My kids were everything to me...they were my whole world" ummmm, no dude...I don't think so.
He has no idea how to parent. Hes using drugs w his mother in the video for God sakes.
I dont even believe that.. 5 to 10 k a day..gtfoh..
Another mother who thinks her son is her husband
I know someone just like that.....disturbing....So bizzare.
Right... Shyt weird
OH So true Still has her son next to her Soo she's still young
There’s like this actual phenomenon that happens in situations like this. Where kids aren’t raised by the parents, but there is still a bond and love and so when they meet as adults, they misinterpret the bond.
Yeah it’s crazy cause that happens in everyday life without drugs
I can relate to that kinda *boredom* . You can tell when that feeling is coming on too. It's like preparing for a huge storm!
Prayers for you Shane I watch these stories they scare me soooo bad for my children I battle alcohol and it's annoying sooo I can't imagine being addicted to anything else. God has a plan for you you definitely look good nothing like I would have expected too from the story I just heard. God bless I pray you can mend your relationship with your kids.
