Why Did You Try To Take Your Own Life? | {THE AND} Christine & Trinh

[@blkbbw8295]

I think one of the reasons her mum said her climbing through the bathroom window was one of her favourite memories is because of how she did what difficult thing was needed to save her mum’s life. Your child coming to save your life might be a special memory for any parent.

[@brenai]

blk bbw I thought the same thing but as a daughter I’m sure that was more of a scary moment then a happy one for her

[@blkbbw8295]

Brenai Stockton Yeah, the daughter does look rather traumatised by quite a lot of what her mother has had to go through in life, whether she personally witnessed it or not. Unfortunately she seems to be carrying alot of her mother’s pains on her own shoulder. But perhaps it makes her a better person for it.

[@sszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

exactly what i thought.

[@janicemetzger6338]

@@blkbbw8295 Agrreed. What a special daughter she is, lots of empathy and gratitude for her mom and all she lived through-- even though it's a completely different world from what she has.

[@malandz9555]

Totally agree. I suffered severe depression at one time in my life. I wanted out. My son is 34 now. At 14yrs old he sat on my bed and told me he didn't understand as I can do anything you like. You can achieve anything. I was so humbled I got up the following day and never looked back. He saved my life. I totally get why it's her best memory. My son will forever be my best achievement.

[@Mossmagick]

Her mother’s eyes seemed to have that aura of always struggling to survive, but through all of that, she always maintained a sense of unbelievable determination as well as staying humble and grateful.

[@ashwiniva6251]

Beautifully worded. Such a strong mom, and such a sweet and caring daughter. Love to them and love to you too!

[@nataliealmousa]

As an immigrant child myself.....I’m sobbing. I love my parents so much. They sacrificed so much.

[@EricSanchez]

Cried several times. This was so beautiful.

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

What an emotional video. A lot of people can relate to the mother’s story about being a refugee and starting her whole life in a very different country from her birth place and the kind of hardship she endured. Strong and inspirational woman like many others in the same boat 🙌💯👏❤️

[@poetessbritt]

the same boat, literally!!!

[@arthurjoe6938]

Can you all imagine what kind of world we would be living in if everyone held the same philosophy as Trinh (the mother)? She's reached a place of enlightenment that is rare and beautiful

[@gabyg4818]

I was looking for the right way to describe the Mum, Enlighted that's what she has achieved, she ain't no saint, and for what I picked from her she is not interested in becoming one, she is just a good human...AMAZING LADY.

[@tessxpink]

Two strong women with a beautiful relationship! I love how Christine is so patient, you can tell she’s truly listening to her mom and taking it all in. Trinh seems like the purest soul. An angel on earth; i’m so happy she’s still with us! This really moved me🤍

[@breezetell]

This is the most beautiful episode ever.. Knowing the pain and suffering my parents have gone through is the most heartbreaking thing in my life as well.. Even the mere thought of it could get me in tears instantly.. Because u can never take those pain away from the people u love the most.. Its truly angering and heartbreaking but all there is left to do is to push forward and make those around you happy..

[@TheSkinDeep]

Thank you for sharing your experience- how have you found yourself best learning to cope with the knowledge of that generational pain?

[@breezetell]

@@TheSkinDeep My faith has definitely helped me to accept that there are things in life which are beyond our control and we have to make the best out of em.. what goes around, comes around. Like the daughter in the video, I just try to make them happy, in the present, in any way that I'm able to..

[@dudeitsdina]

I never comment... on any kind of video. But this is the most beautiful episode I've seen. Their conversation is incredible and their connection is almost tangible through the screen.

[@ALBERTO1guzman]

When she said she’d become a monk to pray for the world so everyone can live in love. Just imagine this woman praying for the entirety of the world, she’s powerful. Her prayers would have saved us all. I can just feel her power underneath the calming water that she is. It’s beautiful ❤️

[@anrr5317]

Okay but this episode needs to have a warning!! Emotional rollercoaster :(

[@missystephanie6453]

Whyyyyyy would you put me so deep in my feelings??? I am sobbing. There are so many gems and proverbs uttered in less than 20 minutes. I Wish people considered situations and chose to say *I forgive and forget anything you do because my love is bigger*.

[@mica8435]

Those words were definitely gems

[@loreeeg5280]

Her mother is the pure definition of a strong woman. Materialistic things don’t matter to her, as long as she has hr loved ones around her to be with her is all she needs. She reminds me so much of my mother. My heart is sunken low and my chest is tight listening to what she had to go through to make sure her family was taken car of. I want to and need to be more around humble people in my life. Great video

[@nmkhdm]

The twinkling in her eyes for her daughter...all the feels.

[@nyamedoaddae-dapaah3439]

Your mother is a precious jewel. I can't even handle this.

[@lassmallieber7569]

[@DivineVibrations9]

What a beautiful relationship they have. You can tell she really admires her mother 🤗

[@LoudnessInc7]

I live across the US, away from my mom. I lived on the west coast for seven years. Since this quarantine started, I have been missing my mom nonstop. God, I would give ANYTHING to be with her and hug her. This video just brought me down to my knees.

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

This humbleness in Human form. WOW!

This is really POWERFUL, "Came to earth with NOTHING, I don't wanna keep ANYTHING to myself because you shall return to earth with NOTHING" - "I have enough for myself, and I like to GIVE because I want EVERYONE around me HAPPY". Inspiring 💯 L❤️V❤️E 💯

[@salvadorcamposmachas]

THIS... must have been my favourite SkinDeep Conversation EVERR... just woww... So much emotion. I Love the way Christina's eyes speak for themselves. She is sooo inspired by her mother. I Love the way she worked so hard to make her mother proud of her. And I Love the way this mother/daughter's love is shown in this conversation. It is inspiring!! It makes us reflect on so much. Thank you for this amazing insight into your relationship!

I could not stop watching...I have been so moved that ‘tears’ can not explain how I feel. Thank you. Thank you for sharing how such a relationship can exist. Thank you for for being “The Skin Deep”. Thank you for allowing me to see how such a relationship is already present in my life, but I have to be able to recognize it.

This beautiful daughter...man!!! She seems so genuine and special. A heart of gold. And her Mom is a strong human being.

[@ladyred8948]

Yes

[@diogofeliciano29]

"I am glad you're alive." For some reason those words made me so emotional. To hear that sentence must be so rewarding for a parent (or really anyone). If anyone is having a terrible day watching this, remember I love you, we are all brothers and sisters in this often cruel world, but we have a reason to be here. Don't give up!

[@diyanaghaz]

Oh no these tears are uncontrollable 😭😭 They’re so pure.

[@ToyLoop]

two extremely strong women, i cried so much watching this episode and laughed, I understood so many parts of this because I am also Vietnamese, the struggles our parent's generation had to endure, to the way they persevered and built a better future for their children all while never losing sight of love for others and uplift their families and their communities.

[@susannamuga3863]

She has such a beautiful soul and heart. Christine is so lucky to have her.

7:32 has me in tears, I have never heard or felt that from anyone and it has me shook

[@joruckus]

This is beautiful. She reminds me a lot of my own mom. I wish I had the chance to have this interaction before she passed. It hits hard when you realize the life your parents had when they were younger. Especially a hard life coming from a difficult situation to growing a family and business from nothing.

[@marialevao8932]

"I have everything that I need. I have food, clothes, water, a house and my car. I don't need anything more than that". We were born with nothing, when we die, we go to the earth with nothing. All I want is to see you and people around me happy". What a legacy. Teaching her daughters that loving people is the most important thing in life. Bless this beautiful Mom and her daughters. Hard not to cry, this Mom warms my heart.

[@licorice71]

I’m an African immigrant that’s lived most my life in North America and this just touched me because I see my mom in her and I see myself in the daughter....this was so sweet. Thanks . Best content EVER

[@4real277]

Such a beautiful mother daughter relationship. So true to the immigrant experience on both sides. I hope the daughter supports the mother but at the same time prioritises her own self care too. It’s hard being an immigrant but also hard being the child of one in a different way. So much love yet so much pressure.

[@hbfitness2792]

6mins in and I’m already crying. Amazing ladies with so much love and appreciation for each other

[@only1omaira30]

The love & tenderness of this daughter towards her mom is everything! She has so much Respect for her mom & her story. Beautiful

[@lassmallieber7569]

When the "what is a pain in me you wish you could heal" question comes up, you know it's gonna get emotional

[@JuliaPedro]

The daughter strikes me as am empath. She's so emotional and loves her mum so much. When she started heaving before reading a question- the one on the last conversation- I knew it was a tough question.

[@gordonsmith9153]

omg i'm crying right now . the mum is awesome and a beautiful person! so is the daughter. but when she said i don't need anything just food,water and house. I AGREE!

I agree.. The whole world needs to be humble and be there for each other. Truly touching.

[@oumaimalou]

Wow! What a beautiful video. Seeing the daughter cry so much really shows that sometimes we love so intensely that it hurts. I feel the same way towards my mom. I get emotional just looking at her. I understand that this may come from culture, but I so wish she said the words 'i love you' to her daughter at some point of this video. Especially when she asked "what would you want me to know if this was the last time we saw each other?" validated her feelings when she said "I'm working hard mom". These are two very strong woman.

[@londonsars0234]

That was incredibly beautiful to watch. As a person that has never not known if there was going to be food at the table or if the bills would get paid, I realize how naïve it is for me to say money is not important now. She reminds me so much of my grandmother who would give to my drunk uncle plenty out of her paycheck to help him survive, he would blow it on booze and drugs. One day I asked her why she gave him money he wasted, she said that he was the only family other than my sisters and my mom, so it was the least she could do for him. Some generations struggle to see how incredible of a life that existed before now. Her daughter has not seen the wars or deaths her mom has, but for her to recognize those trials and tribulations everyday and choose to be beside her mom and strive to be the foundation that holds her mother's future is beautiful. Not all can see beyond one's own life enough to do that. The compassion I see in every one of The Skin Deep episodes are magical and give me perspectives I hope to make use of in my own life.

As I'm watching this I'm thinking to myself how beautiful this experience must of been for the both of them. This is something that they will treasure for the rest of their days. I cannot help it but I'm sad because I only wish I could of had the opportunity to have such a deep hearted conversation with my mom...I think that perhaps we would've understood each other better. Unfortunately, opposite of her being able to save her mother's life, I was unable to save my mothers life. I tried to, I very much tried to revive her but she passed away in my arms as I was trying to do so. A very much haunting experience that destroyed my life from that dreadful night because I failed. I sincerely hope that these two women get to fulfill their dream of going to Paris and her mom can enjoy a real baguette! This was ultra heartwarming to watch ❤
