Mackenzie Phillips talks relationship with father Papa John from Mammas & the Pappas, Chyna & drugs

[@annakat3754]

I love seeing you survive and thrive Mackenzie. Keep on killing it girl!

[@LeniG-123]

Very articulate & intelligent woman.

[@cindland]

Wow. She sounds fantastic. So clear headed and present. So different from the past. Congrats, Mackenzie, for your successes and being FREE.

[@JardineFlower]

Been there, done that. It takes a strong person to work to overcome their addiction. It's painfully obvious that, by some divine power, she's here for a reason.

[@danielcruz8347]

Ms Mackenzie Phillips I truly believe her and all she says about her past life experiences !!! I too have had very similar life experiences!! I always loved you Ms Mackenzie Phillips!! God bless you always sweet darling beautiful!! 👈 💐👍💙💎🙏🏼💐

Great interview. So happy to see you Mackenzie. Very inspiring testimony.

[@itravisoni]

It's a history story not a testimony meaning it's not what Jesus did for Her

[@annacg1000]

❤ Mackenzie she is doing the best in helping people who really need her, she’s great

[@debbiemcallister7093]

She has so much beauty that had been suppressed for so many years by the multiple abuses in her life. I'm happy that we can all see it and appreciate it now. I've always enjoyed listening to her speak, even back in the old ugly days.

[@mthor2346]

I hope you see this Mckenzie. I really admire you so much for how you live your life. I will say I'm a Christian and put God first and don't idolize you but I respect and admire you and your soul. You deserve great things.

[@spirituallysafe]

she needs Jesus ❤

[@isoldecurry4321]

It does seem she follows the new-age thought processes to an extent, and she does tend to use some salty language at times. Best we can do is pray for her ( and her son) every day that they both come to know Jesus.

Very honest interview. It takes many years for us to have the luck, maturity, blessings and hard work to have such a clear understanding of ones own past. This woman speaks out now with a gift of living and learning.

Really ?! I think she looked better, when she was younger...

[@paulcarmichael596]

I have to agree with you she does looks better today than she once did.. I hope she has a spiritual relationship heading into her older years to make her truly happy .

[@velvetbees]

She has wisdom that cost her a lot. Thank you for this interview. I know what she means when people wonder what is wrong with you. When you are constantly affected by childhood trauma. It took decades of counseling to get to where I am now. I grew up in toxicity, but not like hers. No drugs or sexual abuse. It came with an unbearable requirement to make one of our parents happy in ways children can't. We had to support one of our patent's "healing dream" of having a perfect community of people who were at all times the best companions, the most complying children who turned a blind eye to their own lack of nurturing. Who made that parent the most important person in the family for as long as it took for that parent to feel better again about themselves. It caused an "every man for himself" mode of mental and emotional survival among the kids. A heart breaking scarcity of support for us when we needed the parent to come through. There are so many kinds of toxicity. Mackenzie looks beautiful and radiant now. Her honesty is a healing for other survivors.

[@Eurafrican]

Mackenzie is one of my hugest inspirations. She is a role model for overcoming trauma. She has forgiven the worst of her worst. She is so courageous in sharing her truth to help others and aid their recovery. I'm so proud of Mackenzie for overcoming her drug dependency and transforming her life. Also, her relatives (bar Chynna) let her down by shaming and discrediting her claims, which I believe. I am so glad they have reconciled and I hope they show they are proud of her too.

[@xxcelr8rs]

All those poisons, yet she is so physically attractive in her 60's. Amazing.

[@maxinemccartney5284]

Blessings to you as you move beyond the abuse and to live your best life by forgiving your dad.

[@tamarawright2670]

Thank you Mackinzie I'm glad you're doing great and look beautiful thank you for your story!!

[@-norsecode-]

This video literally helped me to call my local hospital for help to get inpatient psychiatric care. I just talked, literal seconds ago, after speaking with my local Connect (who help people get the resources they need where I live). I have to go to the ER and I'm utterly terrified and can't stop crying and pleading to the universe to make the pain stop, make the memories stop, and make every stupid thing that's in my way move. I'm at the end. The next step is suicide. I can not go any further any more for one more day. Thank you, Mackenzie, for helping people like me be brave and take steps to find where to go for serious, daily, intensive care. I wish I was in LA, I'd go to the place she's talking about.

[@nancyberry1039]

If you are able to see this, I hope you are getting the help you need. I know you will make it because you made that first brave step to get on the right path to save yourself. Please continue to be strong, brave, & keep moving forward. So many of us are also in similar desperate situations though the actual circumstances may vary... I'm 56 yrs & when I was younger I never thought I would make it past 30. I survived a suicide attempt when I was 19. A year later, I had my first born daughter. I think something stopped me from ending my life & that something was the fact that my daughter chose me to be her mom. Although I was young & made many mistakes, she & I grew up together. She saved my life, so I could bring her into this world... but I couldn't save her when she finished her 30th year. Now I'm a mother who is trying to process her suicide. The only thing that kept me from immediately following her into the grave was my 2nd daughter who was only 14 at the time. I couldn't abandon her at such a pivotal age, especially after losing her sister. She's now the age I was when I became pregnant with her big sister. Often I think that she doesn't need me anymore and I could be free from this wretched world & my never ending heartbreak, but I'm still "stuck" here (for lack of a better word) because now my elderly parents depend on me. My dad is legally blind & has mobility issues. My mom is physically fine but her mind is deteriorating from Alzheimer's. After all they did for me in life, I can't abandon them when they are old & in need of my help. I was an only child so we are a small family. My parents are the last living members of both their families. My mom lost her 2 sisters over 20 years ago & my dad's only brother died in 2017. Me & my #2 daughter are the only family they have left. So I continue to keep moving forward, one step at a time. If I can force myself out of bed every morning to face another day, I know you can do it too. I wish you all the luck, peace, & positive energy in the world. Take care...

[@spirituallysafe]

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity. I encourage you to prayerfully read The Holy Bible ❤

[@thegoodfight426]

I pray that you are coming out on the other side of that pain and grief!! May God's grace and truth restore your soul

[@trujustice8628]

You are on your way. And nothing is too hard for God to restore.

I think she would be wickedly good on a legal show like Boston Legal. I wonder if she knows how great an actress she really is. I guess her counseling work is way more important than acting. I’m just thrilled she is doing so well. I’ve crushed on her since the 70s.

[@claytonflinchum3962]

I wonder how,s your relationship with Chynna now ,have wound,s healed! God bless you. I hope you have found Jesus,and turned your life over to him. He makes things,s a lot better.

Seriously though as a Christian these types of posts are pretty annoying and highly uneffective other than making Christianity look ridiculous.

She looks great. I was on a recovery site and saw a post that mentioned the phrase 'one day at a time', then I remembered that tv show, one day at a time and thought of MacKenzie and thought wow, what a coincidence she was on that show then later through recovery in which that phrase essentially became her life. I started wondering what happened to her and decided to search her up. Glad she's doing awesome!
