    Hi, Kelly! I am a silent viewer. But I felt compelled to jump on here to let you know that we don't expect you to have it together. We expect you to feel broken, to cry, and to hurt inside. This is not an easy journey you're on where you can wiggle your nose and everything goes back to normal without a fight. You're human and more than that, you're a mom. We understand. Allow yourself to feel raw emotions. Finally, fall down seven times and get up eight. We are all in this together. You are not alone. ❤

    I Kelly, as a former middle school teacher and counselor, I would recommend that you get Allie in counseling for her social anxiety. Those professionals can really help her. I continue to pray for Ray, the girls and you. You are a tower of strength in my eyes. It’s ok to break down and cry your eyes out. It doesn’t mean you are weak in any respect. It’s good to let it go. You will all make it through this. ❤️🙏

    • @micheleparker8553
      @micheleparker8553 Před 10 měsíci +7

      IMHO, I don’t think social anxiety started as the problem. She is a good kid with good social skills, and is being preyed upon by kids with social problems. She is literally being attacked!
      If she now has anxiety, it’s the result of trauma from being bullied. The only way that Allie can be okay is first for the bullying to stop. Then counseling if necessary may help her.

      @@micheleparker8553 true but as someone who was the youngest of my family and more use to being around family it is an adjustment to deal with social inept people. Even now it blows my mind that people are so cruel to another person. I have my coping mechanisms and sense of humor to get me through. I had to learn those because we didn’t have counseling in the 80s. If that is the way she wants to go then encourage her if not be there for her.

    • @shellylemons
      @shellylemons Před 9 měsíci +1

      @@MKCarol-ms7lg yes. A parents job is also to their child how to cope and understand the “why” mentality. I know it sounds like a parent must have a psychology degree. They don’t! At first I just used my instincts and experiences of my own. After receiving my Associates of Applied Science degree in which I took three classes of psychology it only touched a bit of what children go through with their peers. How Allie gets through this process and changes depends on her. Each child is different. The most important information she must know is she can talk to her mom and Kelly will listen. Allie may talk and figure out a solution for the present situation.
      The hardest experience is learning that there are friends you can keep close but most you have to keep at a distance. Even we as adults know that.

    • @Melodypodrasky
      @Melodypodrasky Před 9 měsíci +2

      First of all I would like to apologize to Kelly…I did not intend for this to turn into a controversial issue. I was merely offering a suggestion to help Allie because the family has been through so much already. Bullies don’t give up and it’s the nice kids with the best of social skills that they prey on. Again I’m sorry my comment detracted from Kelly’s emotions, feelings, etc. That was not my intention at all. So please forgive me Kelly. I always wish you and your family the best. Love, hugs and prayers. Melody

    Kelly, as a Mom myself who lived this same nightmare, my heart is with you. My son was diagnosed at almost the same age, 29. I remember writing when I heard about Ray that you will dig deeper than you ever thought you could, and that's what you're doing. The feelings you described here resonated in my gut...spot on. I specifically remember looking at my bed as I left in the morning and sometimes the only comfort I got was knowing I could get back in that bed at the end of the day. You will get through this regardless of the ups and downs...sometimes you'll wish you wouldn't get through it, when insanity seems easier! You will though, one breath at a time, one foot in front of the other. The sun will come back and you'll be there to see it. My prayers are with Ray, you, and your family.

My kids all have college educations and some have several. They’ve never suffered socially. Maybe we need more kind people like Ally to show the world you don’t have to be so thick skinned. Your youngest is going through something major too. I do also have daughter with a terminal disease with no cure. Her siblings having the love, joy and support for her has made a huge difference.

    I do admire you, for your strength, your vulnerability, your humor, your kindness and commitment to what's best for your family. Not many people would survive as intact as you are. So never apologize for how you feel or choices you make. You are the only person walking in your shoes and you do the best you. You are amazing and we loved be you for who you are, which is human. Stay tough, stay soft and pray thanks for everyday on this earth. You are doing what you were made for and God has got you, all the way. Take comfort and strength where you can. Cry and scream when it helps. But stay you. You are a truly amazing woman!

    Kelly, the shower, and the tub were my crying space. I felt that I had to stay strong for my son. I tried to hide my tears from everyone and only show strength on the outside. My heart inside was breaking . Prayers for you all. Vent anytime , your followers understand and love you.

  • @shandy6870
    @shandy6870 Před 10 měsíci +8

    Kelly, part of being strong is being able to share your emotions with those of us who have been following your journey. Your candid videos can help others who find themselves in similar situations. It helps to know that you can't and shouldn't be expected to always be strong, that it is okay to cry, and that you can't always put up a brave front. I lost my husband to cancer, and if it had not been for the support of family, friends, and support groups I would have been lost. We are your support group. We are here for you. I will continue to keep Ray, you, Kayla and Ally in my thoughts and prayers.

But want to lift you up, when you show strength. Your creations keep me going. They give my mind a bit of time to "forget" the issues in my life. I've told you before, but your opening always makes me feel like you are taking straight to me. Yes! I still answer you each time❤. Prayers always heading out to you and your family. Thank you for the burst of emotion. We love you.❤❤❤❤ @kellybarlowcreations

    Middle school girls are the worst. I think your plan for Allie is a good one, she does need that tough skin for later in life and she will get there. Kayla will achieve her goals as long as she stays focused and since she is her daughter we will see her as a professor in no time. Glad Ray is recovering and will be starting the next leg of this journey. As a mom you have nothing to feel bad about, these are your children and your feelings are normal. We will listen to you vent anytime you need to. Keeping your all in prayers. Sending love to all🤗🤗🤗🤗

And I have been the mom trying to keep her family afloat through the cancer battle. Just continue to put one foot in front of the other and take it day by day. You will get through this dark tunnel! I will continue to pray for each one of you and your individual struggles as well as your family struggles. You are not alone! God is right there with each of you. Hang in there Kelli!

Don't think for one moment that because you need help getting out of bed, help going on from moment to the next, help with just breathing or because you cry, that you are not strong. Kelly, you are human, your a mom watching your child suffer and you are doing great! This is TOUGH and so are you! Hugs and prayers!

    Remember, you didn't ask for this part of a frightening life, but you LOVE your own personal tour guide. The light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train, its the light of your God shinning and showing you all the way through. ❤ you are loved deeply and dearly.

Having come from a divided family I always wait to hear that Ray's dad is being active in his recovery and I'm always disappointed to not hear that. I pray that he is there to support him. I'll pray that Allie gets what she needs to survive the cruel journey of middle/high school. I had a struggle with that as well so I can relate. Prayers for you all.

    I have followed your channel for some time and with what your facing right now, I was hesitant to keep watching your journey because of my own loss with losing my mom and husband to Cancer and unexpectedly losing my dad and never really grieving my loss. It’s painful & hurts, BUT I pushed through and felt I needed to continue and hear your story no matter my own loss because I care and I will continue to watch for POSITIVE outcomes. I pray for you, Ray & your family. Continue to stay strong, don’t apologize, your human, this is real stuff. Sending much love, prayers & hugs! 🙏🏼

    You WILL get through this, Kelly. I know there are moments when you are getting through it one second at a time, but you are doing it! There is more hope now then there was a year ago. You’ve had the weight of the world on your shoulders for a long time now. During this time you have proven to Ray that he can count on you and that he will never go through this alone. You have been a fine example to your girls in what real unconditional love looks like. I’m praying that you and your family experience more good days then bad as you all journey through this time.

    My daughter had a rough time in middle school. Several bully boys ganged up on her and assaulted her , and it made things really hard. The school was not helpful. But she got through high school and undergraduate school so much stronger. And then graduate school was amazing. She has a great job and a wonderful fiancé, and is happy. I truly think Ally and Kayla will be okay. And I know that you are amazing...you are so strong, even if you don't see it. Prayers for all of you, and especially for Ray.

    Oh Kelly, my heart just breaks for you. You have been through so much and that "dam burst" you had is totally understandable. I hope you have someone you can talk to. Whether it be a professional, clergy, or just a really good girlfriend. Your crafting and your videos are one way of occupying your thoughts, but maybe to have someone to talk to about your feelings would, also. You have had a ton of weight sitting on you. I'm sending so much love and prayers for Ray, you, and the girls.🙏💗🙏(And extra special, big, tight hugs for you, girl!)

    Being a single mom and having gone through really tough things with my kids, I can relate to your feeling exhausted by the difficulties as they come. Ally is feeling the same way, so having to deal with unkind people on top of her other battles can be so hard. I'm praying for you and your family, Kelly. You will all get through it and be stronger, as you yourself know. This too shall pass. It does finally get better.
    I've said this to you (years ago) I wish I was your neighbor. I would come sit with you and let you unload to me, while we drank lots of coffee and I would watch you make really fun DIYs. You would be such a fun neighbor. A big hug to you and your children and lots of prayer that the Lord will give you what you need when you need it until you come out on the other side.

I’ve recently gone to the begging of your channel and I’m watching all your videos and allowing the commercials to play all the way through.
