I'm not really sure what to say here! Other than I hope that at least one person gains something positive from my life experiences. This video kind of signifies a closing of a chapter and the start of a new for me. I hope you can join me on the next leg of the journey. The story I promised to tell a long time ago is at the end. If you can make it that far, here is your medal! 🥇 with love, what else is there? XX Emma XX

WhispersRed ASMR I feel sad knowing you've experienced similar to me growing up. But nice that I feel like I have a bond with you because of it. I wouldnt wish this kind of experience on anyone. Narcissistic abuse is awful. Emotional manipulation is so so nasty and it makes me sad that so many people have experienced similar.

WhispersRed ASMR I had a VERY similar upbringing to yourself.. I have come out of it in pretty much the same way as you have portrayed.. the correct help etc eventually! I no longer feel alone and I can't get over the connection between our stories. I'm so happy (but sad) that we relate in this way but... wow Emma. I didn't know I could love and be grateful for someone I don't personally know... you are an inspiration to me. I'm lay in bed with tears just out of relief that I'm not alone. This community is the best medicine ❤️ thank you SO much for your stories Emma, you are beautiful inside and out xxx

WhispersRed ASMR thank you so so much for sharing this Emma! Yours is a heart-stirring story, beautifully presented and narrated in a very touching way. I still feel something grasping my throat from the moment you told about December 17th. Have less than 6 hours left for sleep now (time zone difference plays nasty tricks), but don't regret watching till the end one bit. May all your plans for the future be true one day. I am sure you will manage it as gracefully and with motherly care as you are doing now with your videos. I mean, I don't even have tingles, and I still watch every your video - just because you create such peaceful and soothing ambiance that all worries step back. Thank you a lot for your work and for sharing your beautiful personality with us.

I'm sorry u weren't valued with family and your friends didn't value your friendship enough to let you grow with them through life with the codes of friendship their loss, I have done the same I have experienced so much and have took lessons from them and grew with them. So I am happy you have peace within yourself now too. Thank you for gracing us all with your help understanding and relaxed atmosphere as you help me sleep and let go of stress at end of busy day. That was the best video very honest emotional and delightful with happy ending for your family. I am very confused about porn reference I do not get this at all it shows them in a harsh very strange light if this is what they call it I actually feel worried for them as people?? I would not give this any attention at all none!! A lot was very like myself and I too became a Mum in 2003 then 2005 and working jobs also so get what you mean about being spread thin. Thank you I can't sleep because of sciatica and slipped herniated discs and you honest give me distraction to listen to other than laying thinking of pain this helps me so very much.

Hi Emma :) I don't think you'll ever see this comment, but if you do I would like to tell you some things. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I'm writing through tears right now, so please excuse grammar or spelling mistakes. It was such an emotional story that I cant stop. I stumbled upon your videos about a year ago, when i was first interested in ASMR, and there wassomething about your voice that felt so nurturing and soothing that kept me clicking from one video to another. So many extraordinary things have happened in your life. You and your family are just so amazing to go through it and stick through it all together. There are so many things that I love about you. Your slightly lopsided smile is adorable. The moment you fell in love with Nam made me, as a Vietnamese person, feel loved for my dark hair and olive skin (Jack Butler is just a fun name i made up ^^). I find the fact that you named your son Bo to be so loving. Hearing about your accident and everything that followed was haunting and I am so proud and happy that you are in such a good place in life right now. I am so glad. I am so glad. And you make me want to believe in familial and romantic love. How families could be terrible, but also so loving. How romantic love could sometimes naturally fall away, but be rekindled through self-understanding. It seems hard to believe that all this really happened because it would be too much but honestly how can it be doubted? The kindness and happiness and loving and joy in every one of your videos inform the fact that you've really grown from all the terrible situations life and put you through. Dear god. I am always just so amazed by you. It would be a great pleasure to one day go to your tingle camp. It will come true, I believe in you and the others in the tingle community of ASMR. Others readig this terribly long comment, thank you for being here. Thank you for finding each other and me and creating such a lovely spot on the net for people like us. Just thank you. So much.

Omg Emma, I can’t possibly describe how healing this was for me on such a deep level. Thank you for your bravery in telling your story. I also grew up with a narcissistic parent, and am an empath. I’m just realizing now, that some people I have allowed in my adult life did not deserve it. It was absolutely projecting behavior when your friend called you a narcissist, and that’s exactly what my narcissist parent has called me, while projecting his own narcissism on me. My brother died a month ago and for some reason I haven’t been able to cry. Listening to this helped me to really cry, and feel like someone really understands, and feels the same pain. I also am a singer, and have been scared to really pursue it. I’ve been watching ASMR for 10 years and I’m thinking about starting a channel. Your bravery despite everything you’ve been through, is truly inspiring. Much love from, a kindred spirit: empath, singer, sensitive friend in LA

I feel like this had taught me so much more about you, but also, it showed me that moving out is a step I have to take. I've been living at my parents for about two years, now, my fiance died in November 2015, and I was forced to move back in... But I haven't really been able to save anything because I've been so focused on travelling, seeing historical sites, and such, and I still have nothing to move out with. But I see others do it... And I'm just not so brave. I'm afraid I will fail, I'm afraid I will fall. Hugs from Pennsylvania, USA! Thank you for your ASMR videos!

I don't usually comment on your videos, as truth be told I'm asleep by the end of them but this video made me express so many different emotions that I never thought I would experience before by watching a KZbin video, but to that I thank you. I can't believe how many times I cried during that. Your life story is just breath-taking but I can 100% relate to your family situations, I'm a victim of emotional abuse, and it's only now after seeing this video that I have the confidence to overcome this. You have made me see my life in a completely different perspective and I appreciate you for that. With a hand on my heart I can tell you that by reading most of these comments that you have thousands and thousands of amazing people right by your side. By watching your videos you would never believe the past you've had would happen to such an amazing, inspirational, kind (I really could go on) person, but I guess that's why they say that everyone has an untold story to be told. This was the best video I have ever seen in all of my life. It was so pure and deep, and I can well and truly say that I will be right here in the comments to support you! I'm sorry that you've had a rough life, but I promise you one day everything will make sense, you have become an amazing person from your past and I reckon you could one day inspire the whole entire world! Thank you for everything that you do for us, and the videos that you continue to make, thank you for providing me with the confidence I need and thank you for giving me a different outlook in life. I'm extremely grateful to you! Bye for now. I hope that you sleep well and that day by day you have a happier life, I know that sometimes life can be awful but somehow you have made the best of it! Thank you for spreading such kind and positive vibes and I'm forever thankful! Thanks again, and to anyone reading this I promise you that whatever your going through will get better!! xx ☺️

It is true, that is often the way. Through suffering, you learn empathy and compassion for others. Unfortunately though, that is not always the case: for some reason some individuals go the other way and want to make other people suffer.

You are an amazing woman and I have learnt so many lessons from this video alone. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours. Excited to see all of your projects come to fruition x

Emma, I'll never forget my 3rd grade teacher... Sister Bernadette AKA Sr. Hates Kids. She used to beat my hand with a yardstick..i am a leftie and she said she'd "beat the devil out of me". I never understood why she hated me so, but thankfully I had other teachers that were wonderful. I was also bullied mercilessly by other girls...you know why?? I developed early . I got my boobs by age 10...my period at age 11, and these OTHER GIRLS bullied me for having my period. My period! Something they'd one day get too! Why girls are so evil towards each other I'll never understand. *I'm also born in the late 70s.

Im only at 12 minutes in, but the stark comparison to your relationship with your mother and your family to my own is shockingly similar, I had to pause a write something. My mother literally said the exact same thing to me as a child (when you said it, it sent shivers down my spine) and never did properly bond with me. (I have since found out that she has Narssassitic Parent Disorder) going to continue listening to this video, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your story with us. xxx

The fact that you have made it so far, and made the best of each situation you've been in, is so admirable and listening to your story gave me a whole new level of respect for you. Thank you so so much, to the sun and back, to the stars and beyond, for your inner strength. For giving us a safe haven on KZbin, and for making such incredibly tingly content for us to enjoy and relax to. You are an amazing person, and I am so happy that I discovered your channel, and that you discovered such a warm community here on KZbin.

How strange it is for me to imagine people being cruel and unkind to someone who has brought me, and hundreds of thousands of others, such gentleness and peace. I hope with all my heart that you continue to build a tribe around you of warmth and creativity; that the good things you have put out into the world throughout your life begin to come back to you in unexpected and wonderful ways, and that the strength you have built within supports you through anything that comes your way. I'm just a regular listener, but I am so proud of all you've done and so excited to see what you do next. x

Sound therapy, ptsd, etc. You are an amazing, strong and beautiful person - inside and out! Thank you for posting your story.

Emma, I don't normally comment on videos but I feel such a need to let you know what a blessing you are!! I am a single mom and have been for the past 8 1/2 years, but just recently my life has gotten extremely chaotic and hectic! With work being crazy and never feeling like I have enough hours in the day, the last couple of weeks I have not been able to watch any videos until now and can absolutely tell a difference in my life. When I watch your videos a peace and a calming comes over me and it's as if I'm spending time with a dear friend! Though I've never met you in person and we are oceans apart (I'm from Kentucky, USA) I feel a true connection to your spirit and energy and enjoy spending time watching your videos! You bring so many people happiness and please never ever forget how important you are!

To see what you've been through. You seem incredibly strong. The situation with that family seems shocking and I'm angry for you that that happened to you and greatful that it's better now.
