id: 549904 - Text: In the first video Asriah mentioned a relationship were she was treated with respect and love. She also later admitted that after a while she became to the person who was treating her right what her abusers were to her. Because she could not adapt to a healthy relationship. I think that a similar thing happened with her relationship with Mark.
While I understand that not all your time can go in to helping Asriah build her life up again I find it asking a lot of her to build up a new life without emotional or mental health support. She still has a lot of trauma to process and doesn't seem like she can work through it alone.
I also think that setting an income up as a monthly expense would maybe allow a person to adjust to a life in society with a regular job in a more sensible way. Or perhaps have them send you a receipt of the things they are buying with the money. Because I feel like aid like this may be easier to accept when it is conditional.
And while I applaud you for helping and doing so much more than most of us other people are I think it is important for the people you help to see that while you will support them through their tough times you will not give in to all of their financial requests. I wish you both courage to keep doing good things.

id: 549958 - Text: Think through the last video for a minute: remember when you mentioned you were friends with a pimp? Her demeanor changed completely. If you are on her side, you’ve gotta show her you are fully invested in her and show her you are on her side, or she will think you are like every other man who wants to deal her out to others. Granted, these instances happen when other humans do take advantage, but as one in her mindset who has been a victim all her life, you’ve gotta be on her side completely and show that these gangs aren’t friends. She could be testing your own loyalty in all of this to see if you are being truthful and there in her life regardless of her own imperfections. It’s a huge cycle. If you are in ones life to help, erase all her past, give her another phone, move her to a place no man can find her, and show her what a loyal human looks like by action way before the money lands in her hands or she’ll view you as any other pimp.
Then to see her eyes in the end as you ended the video… she’s broken you left like all the others, and to her, her own inner victimized voice just confirmed her suspicions about you.
I like how you are doing things, you are doing some good in showing the truth to this lifestyle, but remember this.

id: 549986 - Text: @foreign7765 I mean, I think the truth bothers a lot of people. But, in this case, I do believe calling this guy a pimp is a misrepresentation. Also, Mr Mike here didn't ask Asriah any questions about the details of her relationship with this man, or what their plans were. Idk why he thought she would remain single.
It's possible her game has changed in healthy ways, and in this entire video Mike Laita, a man she is not romantically involved with, is shaming her for having a man around, and calling some dork a pimp.
id: 549987 - Text: @amandabyers4616 Amanda, I wonder if you've watched this video carefully. At @10:46, this guy ''Fly'' actually acknowledges that he is Asriah's ''money manager'' and pimp. When Mark Laita started to help her, she assured him that she wanted to leave the street life, and make a new start with only her and her kids. She took the apartment, the money, kept asking for more $$$, and kept lying to him consistently... Of course she's not ''romantically involved with Mark!!'' He was genuinely trying to help her build a better future for herself and her 2 kids, while she was robbing him blind, with the help of that louse Crips member pimp of hers
id: 550011 - Text: We must'nt give up on her. I totally understand why Mark cannot help anymore, it's beyond his scope. Let's keep in mind that she has been raised by pain, foster care and the streets from TWO MONTHS OLD. she's a product of her environment. SHE'S NOT TRASH. She mentioned in her previous video that she once had a man that treated her well, and SHE became the toxic one. She literally didn't even know how to accept care and real love. She can't even process it without toxicity. It's beyond sad.
id: 550029 - Text: You could tell in the last video that she was a player. Short answers, deceptive body language. You're a good man Mark, you tried.
