    No truer words have been spoken, she nailed it. “That’s the difference between addicts and the others. For us, the party never fucking ends”. We can’t stop, don’t know how to stop.

      She also doesn’t have to have the same regrets you and I might have if in the same position. None of us know her. Her attitude seems to be that she is aware of her shortcomings at this point in her life but that she doesn’t look at her past in shame. There’s power and beauty in that. She has truly lived an interesting life and perhaps she doesn’t regret a lot of it. She doesn’t have to. If she feels it was all worth it in the end, then so be it.

    She's a smart woman. I feel bad for people with meth addiction. I mean, I tried meth and it feels wonderful. I can see how people easily get addicted too. I hope she manages to find a more permanent space for her to live. Just having some privacy is such an important thing. I can empathize with her that the guy who can offer her a place has an unhealthy obsession with her. So, he might use that as some kind of leverage and she may just have to go there to shower and see the daughter and whatnot. It's not easy.
    It might not be the worst idea to go home. She's only 51. Get clean. Take care of her parents as a part of the process. Live outside addiction and herself and care for others. (not saying she doesn't care for anyone, she is a mother). Home will be boring for a while (compared to meth highs and street hustles) but as addiction goes, smaller things like home-cooking, trips to the cinema, walks in the park, can make you happy again. Being addicted means you aren't responding to real-life events with non-drug-induced emotions. But take the drugs away and you can start feeling life again. The good and the bad.

    She could write a book, easy! As a young girl you grow up seeing all those pretty girls who get to hangout with the famous bands, travel, free spirited and you kinda wonder what was really going on with them. It’s interesting to me. She did all that partying but still managed to have a career as an adult. Yet, here she is. It’s a different ballgame when you get older, in my opinion. I would like to know how her daughter feels. She has a lot of shame and doesn’t want to “bother” her daughter but maybe her daughter wishes she would reach out more. I feel like she thinks she would be a burden on her rich, upper class daughter. It’s easier to just keep her distance. It’s unfortunate because they are missing out on a lot of time that you can’t get back.

I lived life my way. Groupies must fawn over these guys...be vigilant to other marauding gals....fun is fun but nursing a beverage all evening while sitting w. the other members gals? Nope. Personal observation the guys up on stage may only be entertaining while they are performing. For a gal it is as much fun as a root canal.....low chance of finding a decent relationship w. a musician. You will be more wise to buy the CD. t

      Probably her father helped or some type of family because her father seems nice seeing as he has a whole room for her and welcomes her w open arms till this day...

      @@kalijahmurphy8207 She sold all her kids except her parents raised her son. Everything she said was bullshit except her hometown. She didn’t go to Catholic school, College or have a job at Capital

    There's no way I would have my mom living like this, my mom wouldn't have to worry about anything. I'm sorry

      You'd enable her addiction? Don't you think this is not productive at all?

      I know this comment is a year later after this video came out (I just came upon it), but I have to say that, from what I get from what she said, her rich daughter either doesn't know her mom is homeless or the "extent" of it...basically because she doesn't want to bother or upset her daughter. Her son "kinda" knows more but I'm sure she's not really told him the real life she is leading. A lot of women don't want to "bother" their kids, as they now are grown and have their own lives, or they may be a bit embarrassed they are in the predicament they are in. It makes a difference if you were taken care of by your mom, or someone else took care of you during childhood...if either one of the kids were "the pregnancy" she had when she told the story of being 17 and a rock groupie and pregnant, I doubt the child was raised by her (probably by a relative, if she kept the child). She DOES get social security disability, and I think she's only being a go-between for drugs because it pays for her own drug habit...especially in a lower-class neighborhood like where she lives, many people can and do live (altho modestly) on social security disability just fine. Just saying, I don't think it's really bad with her, because if it was, she would have been contacting her children, especially the rich daughter. I think she's embarrassed by her circumstances and doesn't want them to know. I agree with others that it's sad that at age 51 and with her intelligence, that she is where she is in life...but it's all about the drugs, sadly.
