I grew up with Ehab, he's a great dude. Talented, smart, giving and he has an amazing sense of humor. Ehab - It's never too late to change your life. Talk with someone about the underlying circumstances of your addiction, so you can begin healing. Then start building up reasons to be sober, and over time, it will get easier. Love you, man.

But methheads on the other hand.... charming when they talk and articulated. I don't mean like a deteriorated methhead who's been on the road of self destruction for years and who isn't a functioning addict, but from experience, people who start this narcotic methamphetamine, have the gift of the gab in the beginning stages. It makes you feel powerful confident and clever and to say the least witty..... how long does this fake sense of intelligence last? Only God knows.

After reading so many comments and writing one myself, I just want to say how much I appreciate the kind and loving comments directed to Ehab.... and Mark, if you ever read this I want to compliment you from the bottom of my heart. It is a great, even godly thing that you are doing giving broken, hurting people a platform in which there is no judgment, no condemnation, but a listening ear. What you are doing is actually very Christlike. He did not condemn but listened with a heart filled with compassion. You don't provide answers, but that is not your job. I sense that you are providing a real ministry, much more than traditional church where you wear a mask and keep your mouth shut. Mark I discern that you are so turned off with traditional "Christianity." And guess what? So is God.He looks at the heart only and is not turned off by so-called dregs of society.In fact, Jesus was called a wineo and glutton by the pharisees It's in the Bible: New Testament I am THANKFUL for you Mark.....and God Bless You..

First drug I ever sold was crack in NYC in the 90’s. I was fourteen. Through the years I started selling less n using more. But 30 years in the drug life showed me that most hard drug users are just people dealing with trauma who are actually very good hearted people, including many of the dealers. It’s a very dark n dangerous place in life full of predators, it pulls in the vulnerable. But I have met some of the best, caring, n humble people here. Sadly we will not all survive here

Watching Ehab's interview has had a an effect on me that has me feeling so much right now. So many different emotions and for different reasons. I'm having a difficult time understanding why I feel a strong connection with him or maybe his experiences, I don't know. I was able to visualize everything he said. And to know there was so much he didn't say, has my heart heavy. I pray that he soon realizes that he not only has his mother's heart, but her bravery and strength as well. Maybe then, he'll be able to let go of everything needed so he can start healing and finally begin to live a happy and healthy life. And, that he's able to do it while he still has his mom.

[@shadow.banned]

Ehab's story about his brother's bad trip, I hear the same story all the time. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong trauma, it can derail a life. Children have no business taking drugs while they're still developing. We're already pushing the limits with candy, soda, energy drinks, etc. They absolutely should not be given adderall or LSD or mushrooms. Even THC can induce schizophrenia in the wrong brain. Adults who give young children drugs need stiffer penalties. I have no respect for adults who rob kids of their mental health.

If acid could cause brain damage there would be millions of cases in the US alone. The effects he describes here sound like coming from brain trauma or a brain aneurysm.

He jumped out of a window. That’s what caused the brain damage. Him taking the drugs and getting a bad trip caused him to jump out of the window. I personally know people who have had bad trips and have hurt themselves. Acid can cause you to hurt yourself if you have a bad trip. He isn’t giving drugs a bad rep, drugs are giving themselves a bad rep.

It's things like this you remember forever. I had children with a man with similar issues.

OMG, I can relate to Ehab's story so much with two exceptions; 1. My father did not drink, he was just mean as hell and 2. I did not use drugs or alcohol.

As important as it is to have a father figure every woman and child is better off without an abusive man in their lives. I have no doubt that since Ehab was a child more has been done to hold such fathers accountable for their destructive actions but it's just not enough imo.

I agree! So many men are like his father. Some of them even murder the women. It's horrible. Ehab even said his dad held a knife on his mother. There should be stronger punishment for this domestic abuse.

I had a drug addict/alcoholic husband, when my son was 2 and my daughter was 6 i took control, divorced him and made sure that if he was to see his kids, he had to be clean and have a third party present, he never contacted his kids again. My kids are happy well adjusted adults and had one very loving parent and other family members that loved them!

[@mysticmama740]

""The Sadness", that's what those chapters would be called." - Ehab. And when he tells the meaning of his name and how he feels it's opposite of himself. It's so hard to love and value oneself when those that teach you how to do that act like they hate you and beat you b/c of their own self hatred. He talks about that night his Dad beat him so badly that he ran down the street to his friends house and couldnt even tell them what had happened. I can't imagine the shame he carried along with the hurt. And we can see via his accounts how all of his siblings had a rough life too b/c of this. So so sad to think of innocent kids getting the innocence beaten right out of them and turning to drugs to numb the pain. Ehab is such a sweet, gentle soul, can you imagine if he had loving parents? I wish him the best. Even his word recall and voice sound tattered, he probably had cognitive issues from such a rough life from the start. That time his Dad slammed hi head on the ground for looking out the window. Ugh. Hug Ehab! Sending so much love.

Of all the subjects - wait, no, of all the PEOPLE, the *human beings* interviewed by Mark, Ehab, I think you're my favorite. You were a beautiful little boy who deserved to be loved and cherished by his father, and through no fault of your own, you weren't, and that disorder brought about your pain and the need to escape it. Ehab, you are a wonderful creation of God, and He loves you the way a good father is supposed to love his son. We live in a very broken, fallen world because of sin. You experienced the fallout of that and that is very sad and tragic. But you can make the decision to turn away from that, and toward the one who truly loves you and wants what's best for you. I pray you will do that. You are a remarkable man, and so deserving of love and blessings.

I promise things will get better for you because you have a lot of determination. Hang in there Ehab.😊 You deserve nothing but the best! You got this Ehab P.S I miss your silly personality. Love you like a Brother Ehab

I hope he sees this.

One thing about many of the people being interviewed on this channel is they take full responsibility of their own actions no matter what they been through. Poor guy. I come from an Arab background so I can relate to the dynamic. I hope he has the will to get help and get better. I can see he has a lot of love in his heart and pure soul. If you read this Ehab, life is beautiful and there is so much more to it then homelessness and drugs. You deserve better than the cards you were dealt. I hope you can soon appreciate life’s beauty in sobriety in’shallah.

I've watched a lot of these and I can't help doubting a few things of their stories but this guy.... I pray he stays safe

[@Candyfloss_1]

He has such a good heart and so talented and warm feelings..He is like a shaped diomand in the wrong hands.. I wish him best luck and best future... You are a great fellow Ehab...You are great...🙏❣🙏

Hearing them talk about tinley, orland, oak park, is insane especially being from oak lawn it’s all so close to home man

[@TheAndred1]

I keep hearing how lives have been changed by other’s actions. Young hearts changed by “mostly” adults behaviour. I have had to review myself time after time watching these true life stories. I feel it for Ehad .

[@vanessafotheringham9120]

Such a beautiful person you are Ehab ... you deserve so much more for yourself. I hope you find a way to break out of the prison-like existence you are living

Being a Jordanian I know his father’s type, they ruin their children forever. Probably the fact that they moved to the US makes it a lot worse for them.

I could be completely off on this, (even though he said he used to have anger issues also), Ehab has a calming effect and is very open which Mark sometimes has to pull out of ppl. I love that he expresses his pain and hurt so eloquently, like after his brother got hurt and said it created a black hole in the family and their hearts 😞Then he cried. This poor guy.

[@ealiloveslife2423]

Ehab, you are incredible. You have a fantastic mind and emotional intelligence. I'd love to know you in life. Please stay strong and accept all help to get out of there and onto a path you deserve. 🙏 you're so worth helping. 💗

[@midnightcryptworx]

He's so handsome, what a hard life.

[@melmak4108]

Oh my God ehab I can relate about your childhood story. Your a beautiful person

[@emmahines6890]

Wow I’m so early. I love this account bringing to light what should be seen.

[@montereyspike]

You deserve so much more Ehab, and I hope that you find it.

My heart goes out to his poor mother.

[@ohmymascara6527]

Got beaten for eating corn too fast??? I couldn't watch this one. Made my heart hurt. God bless him.

YOU are a great example of what I believe that the communication between a mother and son has a quality of love that the world needs to model after..and giving your mother the shelter a human needs after she carried you as a passenger , there is so much liberation and beauty in your story of freedom and the insight of the drinking that the anger did not cripple you shows that it is a great force of energy when creative outlets are formed. If its any consolation you are deserving of what I would call male ambassador status because of the insights you gained by trusting yourself knowing that you were forced to fight your father or watch him kill your mother is more than any boy should ever know how the stupid world makes us victims of adult ego landmines is how we are spirited away (drugs as medication) and given room to heal from trauma (Post traumatic growth) you are a real human being better than any superhero. What you are is in the moment is more valuable than ever. Honestly I needed to know you exist .And Mark if youtube wont monetize your work even though there is nothing offensive in these innocent attempts to help some of us that need to be heard ..screw them get a good (human rights lawyer)🚧
