Unwatched Video: Why You Should Watch Until the End

[@dianahogg6164]

Thankyou for getting this topic out, hopefully someone who needs their eyes opened for their own safety will see this video. They follow the same playbook, my story is very similar to your story. Cohesive control, since we met I was 14 yo. I got help only 5 years ago at the age of 65 yo., I was naive too. Strong people survive. ❤

Oh my goodness darling , I am so sorry. thank goodness you found the strength to get help! We do survive but life is meant to be more than surviving isn't it...it's about living it in the manner we want to. I suspect you wonder why you left it so long? I went on to have several less than happy relationships. Primarily because I had such low self esteem and I think I was probably targeted as a people pleaser so easily controlled. It takes years to get out of the mindset and an awful lot of work on your own personal growth to re-evaluate the person you are...not the person you have always been told you are. Much love Imi xxx❤

Hi thank you for sharing your story. I think that many of us have stories to tell. It wasn’t that my parents were unsupportive but rather a matter of circumstances when my mother died from breast cancer in 1974 when I was 14 and my sister 6. It was then that I lost my childhood and therefore could not wait to get away from home and become involved with a couple of unsuitable boyfriends as I desperately needed to belong and be loved. My heart goes out to you dear lady ❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Oh Judith, I can empathise with you wholeheartedly. Our stories, although slightly different are the same none-the-less .We have to learn to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made when we were young. We all had our reasons and we are much wiser now. After all, we aree a sum total of all that has gone before and I am grateful that I have never been bitter over anything that has gone before in my life. I prefer to see the benefit that I have derived from it. Albeit, very difficult at the time.❤ I, for the very first time in my entire life, am happily married to a real "grown up" man. It took me 53 years to be found by him and there is never a day goes by that we don't say to each other how lucky we are. We have now been together for almost 14 years and married for 13. thank you so much for subscribing it is so lovely to have you in our tribe! Be well, much love, Imi ❤x

Strong, an extremely challenging upbringing. Not helped by your mother's illness or your father's selfishness. Well done for being as sane, and funny, (chubby knees).

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Thank you Urbanmeister, that's really kind of you to have watched my videos despite the sound problems😳. Yes, it was challenging, but curiously enough I didn't appreciate that until now. Things look so different when you don't expect anything else don't they...almost the natural order of things I suppose. That said, I certainly would never wish to go back in time. There was so much uncertainty and fear, Much love, Imi x

[@lindakirk698]

Id love to listen but just cant. Vol up full, headphones on and subtitles on too. Still only get about a third of what you are saying. Got to give up 😢

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I'm sorry to hear that darling, I'm listening to it now at half volume and can see that the sound is horrid despite me wearing a lavelier noise cancelling [supposedly] microphone it turned out badly so I returned it but I can actually hear it. I've now purchased a better microphone which works well. It's a learning process and this video was recorded at the beginning of my KZbin journey. Imi xxx❤

[@chrissiematthews7988]

Hello Imi Such a shame the sound quality was poor as I may of missed some things you said, had to really concentrate hard to understand. I did glean you had a very unhappy childhood and that in turn made you make a poor decision in a husband. Who could blame you. You were so young and thought you would have a better life with a home of your own. I know you were not alone in being with a cohesive partner. But It wasn’t really recognised then. With small children lack of family support and no money what were your options, very few . I have a friend who had a ‘running away fund’ such a good idea if possible. Of course you are still linked to him in a way as he is the father of your children. I like you said you are indifferent to him, much better than hate which brings its own problems. Fortunately I had 30 years and three children with my first husband who was very caring but had a mid life crisis and we divorced. Fascinated by your story, just worry about you divulging too much Imi, please be careful. There are strange people out there. X❤

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Hello Chrissie, I am sorry sorry about the quality the sound of this video. However, I have purchased a new microphone with a noise cancelling feature which I'm going to try out today before I record my next video in the car. Yes I was very young, that's true although I only wish I had learned my lessons way before I reached my 40s. So many years wasted on poor relationships. I couldn't have saved any money to run away because every penny was counted down to the last penny and if I had money over from my housekeeping then it had to be returned to my husband. It really was a tight leash for sure. Thankfully my children are now grown up and so I have no link at all to their father...which is good. Also, both my mother and father are now dead for a number of years. I appreciate your worrying about me over divulging, which is why I tend not to use names in my videos. I hope that doesn't make me a target for strange people but I will deal with it if it happens darling. How are you anyway? Are you Well? I am not enjoying the heat at all. Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons. I always look forward to your comments. Much love Imi x

[@onemanandhistv]

This is such a sad story 😢

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I suppose it could be viewed as such, but I prefer to think of it in a more positive light. I wouldn't have been the person I am today if I hadn't had all those experiences to learn from...I just wish that I had been able to learn faster! Much love, Imi x

[@lindakirk698]

Yes dreadful sound - can hardly hear you. You do need amicrophone on your jacket! Yes the gimbal is the picture but you are tslking too quietly & too far from your phone/camera.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

Darling, if you look near my seat belt...there is the offending microphone doing...not much! I've now replaced it with a much more expensive one. I live and learn as part of my KZbin journey. I do hope you can forgive me. Much love Imi xxx

[@shirleypoplo-ej7lz]

Wish I could hear you ! Don’t know what you’re saying! Dang gone

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

I’m sorry about that. Unfortunately this was one of my earliest videos at the beginning of my KZbin journey so I will still a rookie and it showed. Hopefully I have improved over time 🕰️ xxx

[@martaaldama6419]

I can hardly hear you. Sorry to say.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

@@martaaldama6419 I am so sorry darling. This was one of my earliest videos before I knew what I was really doing. It was an extremely steep learning curve 😳 but I think I’m a little better these days hopefully 🤞🏻 Much love Imi xxx

[@martaaldama6419]

@ You’re welcome. I’m happy you are on KZbin. I’m 66 and just started my channel. Pretty bad, but it’s ok. It can only get better.

[@martaaldama6419]

@ Thank you for being here for us, dear Imogene. Few people are as kind as you. Much love.

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

@ thank you sweetheart. I think I’m going to re-record this video as the sound quality was so awful 😢 . It might be helpful to someone.Much love ❤️ Imi xxx

[@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc]

@ it will get better darling. And in 2-3 weeks I will give your channel a mention and that will possibly help . I’m making a video today about doing just that . xxxx♥️
