Wow your life journey was something many should hear . I thank God that you are still able to share it with us ,he walked this journey with you we are never alone through good and bad . 🙏

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you so much darling xxx

[@Christine-xq9ep]

You really should write a book you know, i'm riveted already, I just cant believe the horrors it doesnt get any better bless you. Your first husband sounds exactly like my ex husband xx

[@jowildsmith]

I’ve told her that too!

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I think I could manage a double sided pamphlet at best darling but even those I think I would have to give away 😂. Much love to you and yours, Imi xxx♥️

[@jennybrook2089]

I love your honesty and bravery.It is amazing how you managed to survive.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you Jenny xxx

I had to add another comment after you said how you can get kindness in so many places that you will appreciate it forever. When you said that, I was reminded of the sweet people who have touched my life over the years, and it was a good reminder to me to make sure that I pay attention to others as I have been blessed. I tend to be quite reserved and dont always put myself "out there." What a beautiful reminder.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

They are all such a gift and yet I suspect that they have completely forgotten about it….but I haven’t and it keeps me humble ❤ xxxx

[@TheUrbanmeister]

What a lovely comment and you are so right.

[@edmundpotrzeba6094]

When you get to 75 you realise that if you need to confront someone ,especially if its more than once , then you need to get well away from them , i know easier said than done because relationships ,especially family, are not so easy to walk away from but iv discovered its the best option if you want to remain sane and maybe one day happy. Being on my own is without question better than being around these type of people . Ps i dont care what you call yourself , mother, dad, grandad , sister , what i care about is how you treat me , full stop ❤️

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thankfully, at 53 I met a man who is nothing like anyone I had met before. He is kind, thoughtful, funny and we married a year later. We have been happily married ever since. So it did happen in the end for me.

[@johnkeating4221]

Interesting as to what motivated you to tell your life storey. But I imagine being the honest sincere person that you come across as, it will resonate with many who have had similar lives.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I have told my story because I was asked by some of my followers. I had hoped that it might help some people to hear of another's journey

[@johnkeating4221]

@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Very brave of you. I gave most of my life tongue tied because of anxiety. I felt I would be laughed at if I tried talking about it. With the advent of the internet I discovered I was not alone in my darkness. I am now sixty seven and have come to terms with it in a positive way. Your story may not be the same as mine but it has been a pleasure listening to you.

[@mangoyacho]

I have just come across your channel and boy am I blown away by your story telling style. Although what you are narrating is very sad, I am fascinated by your grit and shear will to overcome. You are amazing indeed.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment . It really means so much to me ♥️

[@seekingthemiddleway4048]

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I agree. It's like having a coffee with an old friend. You're a fabulous narrator.

[@cathyandresiak]

My word, that was heartbreaking! So sorry you went through such a challenging life! The silver lining is you met kind, decent people along your journey so you knew they existed ! Very interesting story, thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to hearing more! God speed ❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling, along the way there have been so many amazing people who have assisted me along the way. I have been so fortunate. I have always remained positive and never thought of myself as a victim. Much love to you and yours, Imi xxxx♥️

[@KateC52]

❤ thank you for sharing your life story, I really feel for you. You truly are a dignified, wise and lovely person this shines through ❤️

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you Kate. I may be wise now but I did spend years being stupid and making the same mistakes over and over again xxx

[@roseannef1755]

I am so sorry; you did not deserve any of that terrible treatment. Hugs to you.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling. Hugs right back to you xxx

[@zengletree]

Hope the next episode is tonight. ❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Your wish is my command darling ! 🥳 xxxx

[@connien7690]

Once again so sorry that you had to go through all this. So glad that you did meet some nice people that helped you out. You sure deserved so much more. I can not wait to hear the rest of the story. Like I said, I can relate very much. Hugs! Connie ❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling. When going through these times, I reflect just how much it has made me into the person I am now and how fortunate I am. No, it wasn’t pleasant, but I am all the wiser for it and do REALLY appreciate everything I have included the amazing supporters here on KZbin. I’m sure what I have gone through in my life is nothing in comparison to some poor souls and I have become all the stronger for it as I’m sure have you darling xxx♥️

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Oh, my WORD! How you’ve survived all you’ve been through is a miracle! I’m riveted by your story & think you should write a book. I’m so very sorry that your life continued in this downward spiral. I too had postpartum depression, so I feel for you. How long did your son live?

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Darling, I think if I were to sit and write a book it would end up being a 2 page pamphlet at most. I really don't have the creative author gene in me 😂. Sorry to hear that you had post natal depression darling, it really is the pits isn't it . My son lived until he was 10 weeks old. He died in his cot xxx

[@vivianhudacek1556]

@ so very sorry about your loss & about all of the troubles you’ve experienced! Yes, postpartum depression is horrible!im eagerly awaiting the next installments. You say you’re not an author, but you ARE! You could just get your computer to generate a text version of your videos bc they are so interesting!

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

@@vivianhudacek1556 Goodness darling I never knew that! I will have a chat with JoWildsmith as she is an author as well as a KZbin creator and she's going to teach me how to do Print OnDemand as a side hustle in the new year. xxxx

[@twohourteacher]

I've just started watching you, I'm really enjoying hearing about your life, but i'm so sorry you went through so much heartache & you didn't seem to have anyone in your corner. As young women we often don't know how special we are. Love from Meredith from Australia

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Hello darling girl, thank you so much for such a wonderfully supportive message. I do hope you’ll watch the next episodes as I work through most of my life. Much love to you and yours, Imi xxx♥️

[@gailirvine343]

You had a terrible time, shocking all of it.😢❤my heart goes out to you.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling. My life has been a bit of a steep learning curve for sure! Much love to you and yours, Imi xxxx♥️

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

Imi I’m proud of you for sharing. It’s not easy to share stories like this. This real story of your life is a lot. You have endured so much. Sometimes when I listen to you I hear some of our family not so goodness. You are such a resilient woman and I do think you could write a memoir. This must feel so good to tell your story. I love to listen to people’s stories. 3 months before being paid is rough. I look at my RJ age 15 I can’t even imagine. I’m also so glad there was a kind family who took you in for a bit. My mom has a similar story to yours💔 she was 19 when she had me. I do remember the video about Christopher and it broke my heart, it was such an emotional video to watch💔 I’m here cause I started to watch the one about your X husband first and thought, wait I need to go back and catch up.

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

@ this makes me sad to know people are leaving rude comments. You are being so brave and vulnerable and I just can’t believe people? I’ll be watching these episodes when I can. Rich came home for the day to take care of me. I feel blessed but that means I’ll be spending the rest of today with motorcycle man. I sure love that guy and I believe you have had a rough life however I see you now and you are such a light for me. I adore YOU. It’s part of your story and you rose like a phoenix. Lots of love Imi.

[@Suzieplook]

Wow I feel bad for saying I enjoyed these videos, what a terrible time you have had x I’m off to watch the next video ❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

You shouldn't feel bad darling. xxxx

[@PeaceOutWorld]

one of my friends was an only child and raised by a schizophrenic mother. She had to take care of her mom, or her mom would behave like she'd have a nervous breakdown, and did suffer one, which made her terrified it could happen again. That's no life, and it's understandable there would be a lot of challenges and changes throughout your life

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I can forgive her a lot because she was ill and for the most part didn't even realise it. When she was herself, she was generous, warm and kind. x

[@hanafri8]

You have a beautiful English accent,so clear,and educated😊

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling. Although I didn’t enjoy my boarding school years it did leave me with this accent which is classed as RP as in ‘Received Pronunciation’ . That is, it doesn’t come from anywhere in England in particular🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow. I have no words. You are one brave amazing woman always staying strong. Are any of your kids on social media ? If yes what’s the link ?

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you Leah! Yes my daughter Katie is on Instagram, but as I no longer have Instagram or TicTok as I was wasting so much time just scrolling, I deleted them. I will ask her what her account is called and let you know. Her life has changed this year. she went from a super fit young women doing lots of charity walks and going to the gym, to having to use a crutch and wheelchair to get about. It has been a hell of a year learning to cope with a new reality and yet she remains positive and strong. Much love Imi xxx

[@lo.p4089]

Oh my gosh, these awful parents and adults around you. My parents and their parents were also nuts in their own way and oblivious to other people’s feelings. I’m sorry to hear how you were treated and how unwanted you were made to feel. I notice in your last video that your language skirts around the words, ‘uncaring’. They were uncaring. You deserved better. I also have turned into a kind, warm, person. You are a credit to yourself.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you darling for your kind words. I am sorry to read that you also had parents and grandparents who were similarly unkind. It's a lot to deal with growing up isn't it. Much love, Imi xxx

[@sandyb6668]

So sad, you poor thing. I made stupid mistakes as well that led to donkeys years of consequences. My thinking at that time was …I’ll just go with the flow - yikes! Love listening to you - I’m going to the next vid…

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

The first 40 years of my life were a series of hopes and errors of judgement and consequences .

I'm almost done this video...have watched at least 3 others....You are a lovely woman..very much so...but the "patterns" that thankfully you've recognized if only fairly recently...are very co dependent behaviors screaming of low self esteem....The sleeping episode was likely a natural reaction to escape....I hope you've taken advantage of some excellent video's on Narcissism..as imo based on their behaviors., (your husbands/boyfriend).definitely it started with your father....so you were conditioned to accepting crumbs...and the narcissistic men you married so you coming 10 miles away....

Yes the patterns were there but there are none so blind that they refuse to see. I have my blinkers off now thank goodness
