As someone who became mentally ill as a young teenager, yes, I did lie to my parents. BUT, it was only ever to protect them from how bad the situation really was for me. Ruby implying the poor girl is just a liar and it's her own fault she has an ED is absolutely disgusting and SO harmful! Thank you for talking about this Callum.
Seriously.. I've never had an ED but I've struggled with depression and PTSD for years and it feels almost impossible to talk about it. Even the people I do talk to.. I always feel like I can't reveal everything. Mostly bc I don't want to burden or worry anyone. And I'm 30 years old lol like I can't imagine being treated that way as a teen
For what it’s worth basically all teens lie, it’s part of boundary testing and a normal part of development.
To demonize it is awful even without the mental health issues, add in the eating disorder and it becomes practically demonizing the disorder itself because they are usually secretive in nature.
I developed my eating disorder when I was 17 and of course I lied about it, but even my emotionally stunted family didn’t turn around and make it into me being untrustworthy. I didn’t betray anyone, I developed a new mental illness on top of the others.
There’s gonna be some way to get this shut down because like it’s gonna harm more people that help
Same, living in lying to parents until now
yeah, with this video alone it's easy to tell she has absolutely no understanding of metal illnesses in general. usually not being open about your own issues (eg. EDs) is an integral part of your mental illness and what makes them so destructive, especially at a young age. i can't believe Ruby is trying to put the blame on the child and her mother. just the fact that the mother is seeking advice (although to the wrong person) shows her concern for her daughter's wellbeing and her want to help. i hope she seeks advice from someone qualified instead.
She’s a nasty piece of work isn’t she? Eating disorders frequently start because the person feels like they have no control over their life so they control what they can. My sympathies are 100% with the mother and her daughter.
This 💯🎯
I personally have always believed Ruby just doesn't like children, simple as that. I think she didn't truly "want" kids, she just had them out of a sense of religious duty.
I cannot imagine calling my son a dishonest person because of him lying while going through an ED. That seems like the moment I, as his parent, should show him the *most* understanding, and get him the help he needs ASAP! What the hell is wrong with that lady?!?
This is parenting done right. From experience I can tell you that my mom is very likely the only reason I’m alive. Yeah, there were fights and screaming but to know that she always had my back, that she’d be there and say “alright, let’s try again” instead of yelling when I relapsed meant everything.
Your son might not see it right know but having his parent at his side means a lot. Wish you well!
I’m not surprised about Ruby’s advice because she also told a mother to kick her sick daughter out of the house for having a bad attitude/temper! Why is anybody asking Ruby for parenting advice…it blows my mind!
Imagine a young adult who is so sick and cannot even attend school or focus one second on their future because their present is at risk feeling AGITATED. The AUDACITY OF THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO SUCK THE MONEY OUT OF THEIR PARENTS 🤡
Actually what was worse was that advice about the sick young adult came from Jody, you know the licensed therapist. She literally told someone that their daughter was "ungrateful" because they were trying to cope with such a severe cardiac illness that she had to be pulled from college. Imagine thinking you might never have a future. Everything you worked for just pulled out from under you. Then possibly having some bad days because you can no longer take care of yourself. And some bitch you never met before tells you you're a brat and ungrateful because you are sad and depressed from your very understandably stressful circumstance.
Ruby is bad but Jody is just pure evil.
@@NotWorthBeans16 Thanks for the correction! I thought Ruby gave the advice but it’s even worse that Jody, a licensed professional, said it! Jody should face disciplinary action and her license revoked.
@@heather7895 amen sister
@@heather7895 The fact that she was on a suspension but hasn't gotten it fully revoked at this point is insane. Like honestly
The fact she is just talking about how the daughter is "horrible" for lying instead if being concerned fir the girls health and being is just crazy.
She’s evil and she wants to spread it to other parents
She basically said to woman with an ED daughter: 'you can't possibly have a close but complicated relationship with your children. They either hate you like my kids hate me or they bend to your every will and have no personality of their own.' Ruby... the issue here is you. The call is coming from inside the house.
Ruby has the exact same answer for every question. She tells them they aren't living in truth over and over but never elaborates to actually help. She sounds like a crazy person.
Don't forget the "everyone one is deceitful" part. That's apparently all kids ever are.
Exactly, she’s insane
Sounds like my dad
She’s really trying to start a cult. Also anytime the word “truth” is in the title of anything where people claim to be Christian’s… that’s scary.
Ye and when you don’t agree or challenge them about it, they block you😂😂😂
You're a very empathetic and kind person, Markie. As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, it was nice to see you sticking up for that poor girl.
My mum spotted my ED and depression super early. Before I even knew I was getting ill. She went to the GP without me knowing, probably 1-2 months into me getting ill and she got told I was fine over and over again. I had to get very physically ill and entrenched in it for the doctors to take my mum seriously and then she felt guilty she didn’t push hard enough for help. Then when ED treatment was borderline abusive and when I didn’t fit the stereotype of an eating disorder, I got worse. She then blamed herself for not listening to her gut that it was making me worse. It’s taken years of self funded therapy for me and finding out I’m autistic for me to be able to communicate to her that I appreciate everything she did and still does and she has nothing to feel guilty for. She’s the main reason I have gotten this far. But she’s been judged by so many people for “letting” me get so ill or alternatively for pushing doctors so hard for help. Now I’m the one who’s helped her get into therapy to heal the many many years of stress, anxiety, medical gaslighting and childhood stuff. I listen and never judge. We have a great relationship and I loathe anyone who would judge her.
Mom guilt is so hard even if our children aren’t struggling, it intensifies immensely when something is going on with your child that affects their safety, their well being. Maybe acceptance for both of you that she tried to help in every way available at the time and now she knows how to help other moms and you know how to help others suffering with an ED. Hope you’re doing well.
I can relate uncomfortably with this.
By any chance, is your ED ARFID? Because I recently discovered that’s what mine was but because it wasn’t the typical ED, I couldn’t get treatment or help from an actual ED clinic as a result. If ARFID sounds familiar, really push and present it to your docs to get help, ok? (I’m guessing you’re also UK? If so our healthcare is a bit… we’ll MH is very much neglected due to gov cuts)
Mama’s been there too - even with my autism. Whilst neither of our moms are perfect, the fact they’ve fought for us… it’s something to treasure.
I wish you both nothing but the best 💜 And anyone else who can relate 💜
I relate to this so much. It wasn’t until I got ill that my mom even talked back to doctors cause there’s always been this feeling of “doctors know best and should never be questioned”. She’s fought for me, snapped at doctors (one said I should live alone while I was an inpatient bc of s-thoughts and sh, because she cared too much) and I know that she’s wondering if there was something she could’ve done different, if she did enough, when she did everything she could.
It’s nice to read about someone else having that same relationship with their mom for once, I feel like it’s always the bad parents we hear about. Your mom sounds awesome and I don’t doubt that she did everything in her power to get you help. There just isn’t a handbook for these things and unfortunately it’s a lot of trial and error.
It sounds like you have a wonderful, loving mother. From the time my father protected my S-ABer for $ I vowed to be a good parent. I've gone through similar issues with my daughter and I just want to love and support her anyway possible. I hope when she becomes an adult she understands that I tried everything possible only for her best interests. I should have got myself counseling from day 1 and not years into it. Wishing you the best and all the happiness life has to offer, you sound like an incredible young woman! ❤️
it sounds like that chapter of your life was very hard on/for you both. just wanted to say that your mom sounds really lovely, supportive and caring. how fortunate for you to have had such a fierce advocate in your corner to fight for you. i hope today you both are in a better place (mentally, physically, emotionally) and have received the necessary supports/resources to begin healing. xx
As someone who was born and raised as a Mormon in Utah, I can tell you that I’ve never heard the phrase ‘living in truth’ until Ruby and Jodi started saying it. The 13th article of faith starts with ‘We believe in being honest, true…’ but that’s the closest thing I know of. I haven’t been a practicing member for 12 years but there are still things from the church that will never leave my brain 😅
Same. “Living in truth” was never something I heard growing up in the church. I haven’t been an active member for several years now but I know that this is not what the church teaches, this is something else.
@@laykenn7897these are re-skinned mormon ideals, but they are taken to the extreme
Hiding an eating disorder is not lying or being deceitful. It is about feeling ashamed and embarrassed, or even not accepting it in yourself. I have never had an ED, but I have OCD and it got really bad when I was at school, and my shame caused me to hide it from my parents. To hear that I was lying to them and deceiving them would have been really harmful
You forget that mental illness doesn’t exist to Ruby
I broke into the FB group also. They asked me if I had any children well I don't so I said I was going to be a future mother and had one on the way. Anyways, I got in an scrolled only a few posts down and it was so startling I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What was worse is Ruby's or Jodie's replys in their comments.they claim to want to help parents but in all honesty they hate children! I never seen two people who hated children the way they do. Everything they say is negative, hateful and not helpful for said situations.
I got into the group saying I have kids. I’m infertile lol
@@LivvyAlexW due to my medical issues I probably won't be able to have any.
I’m scared for the children of those parents getting ‘advice’ from those psychos… They’re going to need so much support and therapy to recover.
I feel Ruby broke when she felt she was unfulfilled. Jodi saw an opportunity to take advantage of her and took over the 8 passengers instagrams and things. I’m curious if maybe Ruby has an undiagnosed or ignored mental diagnosis.
@@skyeceleste8395 Same here but like Markie said I am sure majority is there to just snoop like us. So I hope that the people asking questions are just there to get a reaction from Ruby and Jodie
as someone who went thru some traumatic stuff as a teen and one day decided to stop eating cause i wanted to die… yes. you can wake up and choose to have an eating disorder. not everything is premeditated evil schemes to spite parents. ruby is nuts.
and no, my mom didn’t know i had those issues. in fact, my mom wasn’t nearly as aware as this mom. she was emotionally available enough to make a small account for me to pay for lunch. she didn’t notice. and for a mom to have noticed her daughter is suffering and be told to see her daughter as a deceitful spawn..? i’m pissed.
FRR
It terrifies me that mothers might be taking this woman’s advice and treating their children horribly when they have serious problems😪
I'm sure Ruby believes that she herself is "living in truth." If that's the case, why is none of her family talking to her, save for her young kids who are stuck with her?
I grew up religious myself(no longer), and they teach that people living 'in truth' can and WILL lose people who are actually sinful and bad. It's almost worn like a badge of honor if family and friends no longer associate with you because you're seen as taking that path less travelled and sinful people HATE when you are good and righteous bc....we're jealous or the demons in us are repelled by holiness or some other excuse. While people DO lose friends when they cut off certain bad habits, a lot of these religious people will treat anyone leaving them as though its the same thing. Most of the time it's because they're like Ruby; just toxic and evil people who use religion as the rug to sweep all their flaws under.
@@kiraeckard7625 thanks for the insight. I was just thinking why some of her kids not talking to her wasn't more of a sign for Ruby, but this helps answer that.
Because "they're all distorted" or whatever probably lol I'm sure she rationalizes everything in her head somehow.
Lisa Towan, Ruby was the one that distanced herself from her family. They will welcome her with opened arms when she goes back to them. Julie said that in her comments.
Because 'they are not living in truth', therefore, they are in the wrong, so she is better off without them.
You saw Jodi's video, is basicaly the advice they give, if people dont support your abusive ways of 'living in truth', discart them, they are of no value to you.
she's always so aggressive, defensive, and snappy. it's so weird how she's so quick to say everybody is lying all the time it's just bizarre and she can't see it
As a member of the LDS church, trust me no one uses the phrase “living in truth” for like anything. And their ideals of “living of truth” stray away from the church and what it stands for.
Ruby implying that that poor girl has an ED as a result of lying about other things for a long time really hits close to home, my mother (also religious) often told me that my anxiety issues (which also resulted in self-harm and disordered eating patterns, though she didn't know that piece of it at the time) were because I didn't go to youth group every week or read my Bible before I went to school. Literally in the throes of an anxiety attack, when I felt like I was literally about to die, it was "well it's your own fault, how can you expect God to give you peace when you don't pray every day and you hang out with those friends," like wtf.
I'm sorry girl hope your in a better place now. My situation was similar and different but once I got old and financial enough I cut my family out of my life and moved to a different state.
Yeah… that’s the way to convince you to devote your life to God. Pin him as the reason for your anxiety in the middle of an anxiety attack when you can’t fucking breathe.
Former LDS here, and I cannot say I've ever been victim-blamed (at least personally) over any kind of disorder like Ruby is going off about here. I may not agree with the church's stance on many, many things now, but these women are taking basic tenets (such as, say, "truth") and twisting/perverting them hardcore. I appreciate your take on this every time, b/c what they're doing is wrong. From a basic human decency standpoint and from the religion they're abusing by claiming it to be their foundation.
You’re right. This is absolutely not the foundation of the LDS religion, at least not the one I grew up in. We’ve seen people do this before, taking the basics of the LDS religion and adding things to make it their own….it didn’t end well for them. LDS people are NOT like this, she’s giving people the wrong idea in my opinion.
@@laykenn7897 100% agreed.
Ex-Mormon here and I completely agree. I've never met a member of the church who's like Ruby, or done/said any of the insane shit she's done.
Ruby is the kind of person who thinks irrationally. She perceives things based on her emotions and confused fact with opinion. Plato said, “OPINION is the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy for it requires us so suspend our egos and live in another’s world.” *Mic drop*
I saw that TikTok on my FYP and my heart broke to hear their story. The fact all of these “family channels” are more like “neglect channels” now a days is so disgusting to me
She doesn’t actually want to give advice to help people, she just wants to lord her superiority complex over everyone else 🙄
I feel so bad for those kids. I can't imagine the pain and anger Shari felt as she erased her mom off her social media 😔 something no child should ever feel.
I am LDS or “Mormon” and I truly find ruby and Jodie’s manipulative tactics disgusting and disturbing. I have struggled with mental health issues and i am so grateful to have had parents that helped me and supported my. “Living in Truth” is such a dishonest phrase the way they utilize it. The language they use is damaging to teens and parents alike.
Ruby doesn't believe that a parent can have a good relationship with their children. She almost seemed angry when she was talking about the questioners relationship with their daughter...
I depend on you for 8 Trashengers news. Love you. ❤
Edit: as a mother of a young daughter as well as being person recovering from an ED, Ruby triggers me so much. I have a great relationship with my mom and hid my ED from her. And I’d NEVER blame my daughter for a mental health crisis. This is so damaging. Keep exposing them, Markie.
8 trashengers has a nice ring to it 😂
Ruby is so toxic and her methods and advice is dangerous. Thank you for bringing this to light.
She’s really projecting her own experience with her daughter 💀💀
Why does this group hate children? They keep acting like everything these kids are doing are inherently malicious, selfish, and manipulative. Like... maybe these moms are like that lol but not everyone wakes up in the morning rubbing their hands together thinking of ways to ruin someone's day. Not everyone is two faced and there's no reason to be that paranoid about other people's motives.
Ruby has found an opportunity to become a cult leader and is TAKING IT
Imagine that you were being coached by Ruby and the next day you see she's in jail for participating in the starving and tying up of her children... I bet no one wants to admit that they took advice from this nut case!
My kids have begged me to start a "family channel". I used it as an opportunity to teach them how horrible these channels actually are. They still enjoy watching certain channels but we're very picky about which ones are allowed.
My mom acted similar to ruby, strict rules, weird strict morals… that treatment almost lead me to take my life many times. Please stop abusing your children ruby, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
The response to about the daughter with an ED made me want to go into a dark room in the middle of nowhere and scream
According to ruby’s logos, ruby is untrustworthy and a liar because she pretended things were ok with her and her family she never told people about every single argument that happened in her house! We can’t trust her! People shouldn’t trust her advice
Ohhh the girlies are going to be so pissed about this 😂
Just a friendly reminder - make sure you read through the terms of use on that scammy group and check if making their response available outside of the group is not breaching any terms (i'm just trying to anticipate their response to this)
Why not? It was quite literally *_his_* question. That is smart though, thinking how you did. Gotta stay 10 steps ahead of those nutcases.
@@Griselda_Puppy so, sometimes with these paid subscription services, the terms of use will say that you cannot share any materials obtained through these services outside of the platform.

Writing this types of contracts and terms of use is literally my job, that is why my mind mind automatically jumped there 😅
Youre coverage on these two has always been well done and spoken through.
I would like to ask as a viewer, call them what they. A cult. These two women HAVE started a cult.
Parents who demand a positive attitude at all times, then simultaneously demand children discuss mental health and physical health conditions can't have both expectations met! Which creates many issues directly from contradictory expectations. I was once punished for saying I didn't like a family members shirt. The day before I was told lying is a sin. I believe I was six. I went to bed early for a week! I learned not to speak unless absolutely necessary, and to say as little as possible to people who set contradictory expectations. Living in truth is Ruby's version of because I said so, which is never fully explained, but expected to be accepted. Those poor kids can't succeed because Ruby says so.
This!!!! Well said
Why is this woman giving other mothers advice when her own children don’t talk to her or agree with how she’s living… She really thinks she’s above everyone else, yet her family is falling apart because of her. I hope she finds the help she needs. I’ve watched her family vlogs for years and it makes me sad to see how much she’s changed.
Not going to lie listening to Ruby was triggering. I’ve been mentally ill since middle school. I “hid” it well from my parents up until it all exploded and man did I get the brunt end of it. I almost died on multiple occasions. I was at the lowest of lows. And had Ruby of been there telling my parents this or telling ME all this. I don’t think I’d be here
Why doesn’t Kevin take her to court , and take all of his kids back?
This comment aged poorly 🤣
i be lying to my therapist that i’ve seen for years 💀 its hard to talk about something so personal with family because you don’t know how they’re gonna react. why would a young kid want to go through that when they’re already struggling? i feel bad for that girl, i hope the mom actually gets her daughter help because EDs are dangerous untreated.
My kids (7 & 9) constantly ask me if we can start a family CZcams channel...I keep telling them no and they may never thank me for that but at least I know I'm doing the right thing
As a minor who is a year into recovering from an ED, telling the truth about it to an adult took me months and lots of convincing from friends. That didn't make me a bad person or "untrustworthy". Emotions that come with an ED hit you like a tidal wave. I didn't come 'clean' with it until I was mentally stable and ready to get help. The advice Ruby is giving angers me beyond belief and allows misunderstandings of EDs to circulate to parents. Which won't help the situation.
You're so strong for getting help 🧡 I'm wishing you well
Markie, I'm having a really bad mental health time and just seeing your friendly face and hearing your voice is just wonderful on such a day. Just want to say thank you for that, I know it's probably not easy to always put yourself on the internet but I'm grateful and I hope you are well!
Kx I’m sending u tons of love and positive thoughts. Giving you the biggest internet hug ever.
Sorry to hear that! I hope tomorrow will be easier. Give yourself some mental down time and try again tomorrow. Sending virtual hugs!
Sending you golden light - you are so worth it and wonderful
this whole situation makes me think of Tylee Ryan and J. J. Vallow. this could be more than just scams or bad parenting.
I commented that on another video about them! Ruby truly gives me serious Lori vallow vibes
Because Lori and chad daybell corrupted Mormonism into their cult shit and 8 passengers are also Mormons. This whole living in Truth and following the Principals that connextions spews is just more bastardization of Mormon (and Christian fundamentalists in general) beliefs for their own financial gain. It seems similar because it Is.
Given the kinds of things Ruby thinks are "the truth," I'm starting to feel like being liar is an improvement...
Ruby is not doing this to help parents. She does this to feel superior over other parents. 🙄 She spends more time ridiculing the parents and their children than she does offering actual advice. She has to have some serious issues with feeling in control in order to be like this. 😬
If Ruby was living in “truth” as she calls it, Shari, Chad and Kevin and the rest of her sisters would still be talking to her!
New challenge: take the word distortion and truth out of what Ruby and Jodie say and see if it still makes sense.
Replace distortion with reality and truth with The Trash coming out if Jodi/Ruby's mouths
Oh and replace Principles with Being an a-hole
Don’t know how she can comment on other peoples family relationships when she’s lost the majority of hers
If you compare how Ruby previously looked and spoke to how she does now, the change is drastic. She is morphing into Jodi. The cult vibes are scary.
I'm surprised someone hasn't sued them yet for emotional damages for following their advice.
The fact that they still keep going and believe themselves to be right is horrifying…
Ruby literally seems like a way over-exaggerated villain in a movie. I could see Elizabeth Banks play her. She could totally pull it off. And it would be terrifying lol
I rolled my eyes so hard, they are now stuck in the back of my head!!🙄
Parents who follow Rubys advice all just guaranteed themselves a spot in a nursing home when none of their kids want anything to do with them.
I was literally just wondering when Markie was gonna give us another 8 passengers video. Honestly the way you cover them is better than anyone else I've seen cover them, especially with the proof. I find that you often end up saying excatly what I was thinking about whenever you cover anything 8 passengers, and the cult connections.
The scary thing is children of Hugh control parents (aka ruby) are more likely Ed’s as a way to control one aspect in their life. I feel so sorry for the poor lass mentioned, I truly hope she gets the proper support, help and love she needs!
Thank you Callum for taking one for the team ✊ I'm definitely intrigued this insanity, but not enough to cough up $20 or whatever it costs lmao
As someone with BPD, Severe ADHD + anxiety/depression since age 3 I am SO THANKFUL FOR YOU being here to say what we feel! It’s so discouraging to see people say it’s “all my fault” for having these issues. I was raised in a cult, so I understand where they are coming from trying to “ give your issues to a higher power” but it is SO MUCH more hurtful to see that there are people like this still reaching others. I know your channel has views so it is still spreading thier word even in a negative or perspective way! Protect your soul and your heart!! Even people “who love the lord” may try to steal your spirit! Thanks Markie for being real and confused and navigating this with us!! Idk what your spiritual background is but I can sense that you trust in something but it definitely isn’t this nonsense most constructional Christian’s and religious structures seem to follow. Keep the conversation going!
YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE CHOICES BASED ON TRYING TO CONTROL PEOPLES OUTCOMES & THAT IS not LIVING IN TRUTH
Great question and well worded, and that’s so funny about the amount of people who have signed up to the connections 😂
Markie your channel has been fun to watch and this 8 passengers stuff gets crazier every day
Wow! Ruby needs to watch what she's saying. To condemn a young person, who has an eating disorder, as a liar and not living in truth, is dangerous. What happens if the child then decides that nobody understands her pain, and takes drastic measures? I lost my beloved younger brother to suicide. We, his siblings, went through hell. Did we miss the signs of his depression, which his doctor confirmed? So many questions, for which we couldn't find answers. It's taken therapy to find our way forward.
That's why I'm so angry with Ruby. She has no qualifications to deal with such serious issues. Surely there's an organisation, in Utah, which can stop this terrible woman before she has blood on her hands and a massive legal case brought against her. I can only hope so.
It's very harmful of her to be so disrespectful to people's children making a bad situation 100x worse for the families by saying the things that come out of her mouth.
Glad people are realizing putting your family on the internet is bad. Look what happened with the Duggars!
Their eldest was a CHMO b4 the show...he just got outted bc of the show...and for that I'm grateful, bc after what all they found out about him and on his computer, he was too dangerous to be a free man. I worry about what he's possibly done to his own daughters or nieces.
Ruby functions with so much projection - she absolutely has no right to give advice of any kind until she can be honest abt her own actions & how they've affected every single person in her family
Ruby can’t give her “advice” without being condescending and superior acting at all. She just comes off as so rude and stuck up. I’ve dealt with people like her when I worked in retail. So glad her daughter is finally free
As someone who grew up in a time before social media existed I feel bad for what the kids go through that are on these so called "family channels ". It's not fair to the kids to have their lives broadcast to the world by their own parents.
That’s actually really funny that there’s only 3 actual ppl in that group besides you, ruby, and Jodi 😂 I hope they are humbled by that
You really nailed this topic far before the current criminal debacle. Wish they had been investigated formally earlier so these poor kids could have been saved earlier.
I feel really bad about the people getting advice from her :( I hope no one takes her seriously
I agree with Ruby, I'm shocked. I'm a 50yr old mother of 4 and when a parent says “it came out of nowhere” in regard to a serious issue, most likely they weren't paying attention. The parents know this, that's why they said it. They said it to deflect from their mistake. Ruby is a horrible person. Both the parent and child need empathy and love right now, Not this shit she calls “the truth”.
As yet another one with ED and mental health issues, thank you for your view on this madness. We need more people like you, and less of that "truth" madness. I wish my mother had had your understanding when I told her about my struggles.
As someone who almost died multiple times from my ed the stuff ruby has said is absolutely disgusting and if she understood what it does to a person not only mentally but also physically she would be bloody shocked it’s honestly completely delusional.
This is just horrendous i cant imagine being told that im evil for almost being at the end of my battle multiple times i hope this poor girl gets all the help she needs and her mother takes none of rubys awful awful hateful advice
"I've never been hit but still have trauma" This is what people don't understand - child abuse can go beyond beatings. For me it was threats, verbal abuse, parentification, and especially GASLIGHTING. All things CPS was powerless to stop because they technically didn't cross legal lines.
I don’t have an ED but I struggle with depression since a really young age and I used to struggle with suicidal thoughts. It’s hard to open up with others about what you are going through even if they are close family and friends. You are scared to tell others how you feel because you don’t know how they will react and how they will see you and treat you or it might hurt them. Letting people in is the scariest thing and this girl is going through that. Sometimes you think lying to people about how you feel is better than asking for help. What Ruby said can be harmful to others with mental help. Thank you Markie for the video. They always make my day.
Loving your channel these days. Thanks for all your hard work.
Anxiety sufferer for over a decade here 🙋🏻♀️
I know that mental health disorders and lying come hand in hand. Your brain goes into survival mode and you do anything you can to avoid what you fear (for EDs it’s putting on weight). It’s not a reflection of that persons moral values about lying, but they are in fight or flight mode.
Speaks volumes that her eldest daughter has spoken out and reconnected to her extended family. I really hope all the kids are safe physically and emotionally. Side note…does anyone else find it weird Ruby records ALL of her videos in Shari’s room?! Seems like a narcissist control move. There’s no other room/wall in her giant house to record🤔
My Mom did Tough Love. At 90 she wishes she would've hugged more and loved without the verbal, physical, and mental abuse. Ruby will regret this.
even without looking at the complete insanity. They are also just plain mean to the people who ask questions. It is all blaming them and putting them down, how do they think they will gain a following if they are not at all supportive? the entire thing is bonkers and so scary.
I worry about Ruby's kids.
Great video! Thank you so much for going out there & posting your question for us, we really appreciate your journalism, Callum. Or I mean, Jessica 😉
Says the mom who sent her son "to the ranch"!
Thanks for taking one for the team!! ❤ that’s dedication!
I’m so relieved that so few people actually paid to join the platform because it means that most of the questions asked in the Facebook group were likely just trolls. If parents were genuinely hoping for her advice, enough to actually PAY for it, then I’d be terrified for their poor children
found you via these videos and I've been loving your work! Great investigative journalism there sending that question to Jodie
Thank you for doing this! This is a great insight xxx
THANK YOU MARKIE for getting all this info out there! Been a fan for years and your videos are helping a lot rn.
✌️❤️🇨🇦
lol I asked a question about my husband not believing in Truth and how can I talk to him and they kicked me out.
There are so many reason why this blows my mind. The sheer coldness of her words and the fact that her partner Jodie is supposed to be a "psychologist".
They both do not know that an eating disorder is the root of this woman's story.
she is reaching out to help her daughter. Instead they just say "she's a big liar, she bad".
They are gross, cold & harmful now.
My opinion ✌️
Side-note- Jodi being a therapist/psychologist (not sure which one).
I would feel if someone comb through everything on connections. I bet the profession would find concern that this lady has her license still. Again blows my mind
I’m not sure how old the child is but around middle school age is when I really noticed my body vs other girls around me. also kids can be really mean and if the child is being bullied it would definitely compound her already existing body issues.
I would *not* punish her for “lying” because clearly this child is struggling, I would bring up that I called the school and found out she is not qualified on the free school lunches and that I was really concerned and wanted to get her seen by a therapist or doctor
Ruby should have never had kids, this kind of emotional and mental damage she is pushing is going to get a kid killed at some point. She’ll have a parent someday reach out to her after their child died of suicide because she gave such negligent “advice”.
As someone who had an eating disorder, sometimes you yourself live in denial. It’s gross how she’s implying the daughter is a liar. I myself convinced myself I wasn’t sick for around a year before I had to talk to someone.
At 18 they can legally demand CZcams take down videos of them. There really is something wrong with woman. She needs REAL HELP. Trying to shame someone with an ED is disgusting
When I was a kid I told no one of my issues until the adults at my high school told them they started treating me differently after that and it's the reason I still don't tell them my issues cause according to them "they're numb to it" so they don't try and help me anymore only when I'm actively dying do they care to help me
Can we, as a society, stop pretending that just because someone has a significant social media following they are somehow an authority figure? Paying $20 a month for some rando's advice?? Hell, I'm pretty sure my neighbor's kid has a million followers on TikTok but they're not pretending to know shit.
If someone has 8 kids that only tells me they don't know how to use any form of birth control.
Thank you for doing the hard work Markie and getting intro the trenches of Connexion. I’m glad you made it out on the other side Lol. Hopefully one day Ruby and Jody will get what’s coming to them, and wake up to the reality they’ve created for themselves and those around them. If not, then I guess they’ll have to live life lonely and abandoned because of their actions and because they turned they’re back on their loved ones. Little by little, exposure like this of this horrible lifestyle will hopefully bring about the end to Connexion once and for all. Great video once again, and look forward to the next.
LOLLLLLL not Ruby Doodoo and Jodi Baloney buying their OWN course 😂😂😂😂
You are a gem for doing this
