OMG! The point when she listed why daddy is a liar broke my heart. What got me bawling was you having the strength and courage to share your own truth. Thanks Amanda. You're an amazing human.
I'm a father to 3 sons and daughter. Father's share a special bond with their sons as well as their daughters. I will always be very protective when it comes to my kids; but even more so when it comes to my little girl. It's a natural instinct. Thank you for sharing your experience with your son; And thank you for sharing this video on Father's Day. For as many bad fathers' there are out there, there are many good ones who will sacrifice everything for their children....and will never give up until their last breath is taken. Thank you again Amanda.
You are amazing. That is what it means to be a mother, a father. To do everything you can to give your child the world they deserve. The security, the health, the love, everything. You're amazing 💜
Daddy isn't a liar, daddy is doing whatever he has to do to make sure everything is taken care of. Daddy just doesn't think you should worry yourself about all of the bad things and focus on the good things! Enjoy being a kid! Daddy will take care of the rest, because that's what daddy's do!
Great day to see this reaction as its Fathers day here in UK and Friday (17th June) would have been my dad's birthday. Tough weekend to get through even though almost 19yrs since he passed 😪😪
That video utterly destroys me every time I see it. I'm separated from my wife, and I haven't seen my daughter in months. I don't want her to think that I deserted her. I miss her so much, it's like physical pain.
Keep fighting for her! If you're still here with us, she has the chance to know the truth one day. If you're not, there's no chance and she might never know how much you care for her.
I haven't seen my daughter in the last 3 years (she's 18 now). Her mother moved and took her to another state. Even though I have no idea when I'll ever see her again, I'm so grateful that she still wants to talk to me all the time. She knows how much I love her and she always tells me how much she loves me. I know that physical pain you are talking about. But knowing she still loves me is the *only* thing that gets me through every day. Now matter what happens, always show her, in one way or another, how precious she is to you. A father with a sincere heart, will never let their child down. ✞
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did ☺️ thank you for just being yourself. I've been dealing with mental health issues for most of my life and it's great to come across like minded people. God bless
@danny fudge I’m here for you if you ever need someone to talk to I’ve dealt with mental health issues myself I’ve been at the point of giving up several times
I had never cried that much in my whole life,,but this video got me cry so hard insidely ,,,,🥺 my father might have also hard worked for my good upbringing,, I'm not pretty sure that much because that time i was so young so i didn't have a capicity to recognise his hard work ,,but he meant to be respected all the time,,for his efforts to make us fearless & manerless by distinguishing between right & good things , I've something for my dad,,now that I'm older realize my father was doing the best,he could one day i have a son or a daughter,when I'm rather too i hope that I'm just like you i hope that I'm just like you 🖤
Greetings and Love from Köln/Cologne, Germany again..damn, that cut's me deep..i saw once that commercial. I remember not alot of it, but i knew i've cried a river. I dont know why i watched your reaction..cause for sure, seeing that heartbreakin video, together with your reaction(i know you), i would run out of tears within minutes and my eyes would hurt for days. But thats ok..crying isn't a Problem for me, i quite need it actualy, from time to time, in a healthy way, of course. After it happend i imidently watch funny stuff and laugh my ass off. I often can sleep better after that combination of emotions. However, well, Dee Snider (singer and frontman of "Twisted Sisters") did a video of their classic song “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, but in a stripped down and piano led version.To generate awareness and funding for Angel’s new charity. The clip, which was directed by Angel in the desert outside of Las Vegas. It was produced to help raise awareness of Angel’s new cancer charity, HELP (Heal Every Life Possible). It was founded in honour of his two-year-old son, who is in remission from leukaemia. I would love to see you react to it on your channel, cause i know how much impact and influence you have to many follower. I think everyone should see it. Sadwise i cannot afford to become a patreon to request the video. Anyways, i send you the Link to it. So you can watch it on yourself, in your private time...i wish you a peaceful start in a new week, my Lovelylady. Stay Safe, my dear th-cam.com/video/5VjSkx3DqWc/w-d-xo.html
Oh dear... I am so sorry for what you have had to go through. I wish there had been someone at the time to stand by you and help you out with money. Our welfare system is so different from the one in the US. We are usually so well covered that even without a job you can halfway support a child. I think it's nice that you can show your feelings so openly. I have a lot of problems with it to let the emotions free. From everything I've been able to learn about you so far, you can be very proud of yourself for what you've accomplished and I'm sure your parents would be proud of you as well. Please keep up the good work. Greeting from Germany
This hits me harder than I thought, even though I don't know the feeling of having a family. But I think it's the truth, because for me it's natural to fight, bleed and die for your child. If you can't find something to live for, you'd better find something to die for. (2Pac)
Today's video really hits home. My older brother Passed away yesterday at the age of 58. On Father's Day. John Medel 6/20/63 -6/19/22 Yes If you notice A-day before his birthday. He was a good older brother. But like a lot of people drugs got to hold a John. Our sons are 15 days apart They were born in 1989 His son Dominic Never really knew him After the divorce. John later had a daughter named Erica. I know in the beginning John tried really hard to be a great dad since he wasn't able to with Dominic. This video reminds me of John trying so hard. Never getting it quite right. My older son knows his Uncle John. My 17 and 14 year old daughters never never even met him. I don't know what I'm trying to say here I guess I'm just trying to grieve with somebody buddy that somebody is you all. He was a good guy he was a great brother And as far as being a great father I guess that's for our children to decide and not for anybody else. I hope Dominic and Erica Forgive their dad and just love him for who he was Because I know he love them both. I could go on and on about my brother and i experiences in life there were many and they were great. But I'll never forget when my brother told me one time. He said when I die I want you to put on my tombstone. Tell them I'm dead man. So here it goes from my brother John. Johnny's dead man!!! Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday brother.💔
I watched some of your reaction videos and every time I did, I was wondering whom you resemble so much and I couldn’t put my finger on anyone … until today when, out of the blue, it struck me - Frida from ABBA … definitely same facial features. Thank you! What I didn’t actually watch was your video right after your divorce … I saw only the thumbnail picture and that was enough - I hope you can forgive me for not watching … I can’t handle at all seeing someone else’s pain. I recommend searching for “unsung hero commercial” or “endless ripple commercial” or “touching video of olieng” - they’re all soul healing. Salutations from Romania …
Your reaction really got me. The video is something, personally, really hard to watch as I have never had a relationship with my parents. They never really cared to spend time with their children. You're a great mother. Your son really loves you. If I may suggest another song, listen to Here Comes A Thought from Steven Universe. Its a great song to hear and it is very important to listen to. You're a beautiful soul who deserves so much wellness. Blessings be to you
My dad will drunk and beat my mom Beat me also one day my mom left and my dad brutally beats me for mom left. Then my dad died because of health issues i was 16 and Now I am with my grandfather he is Real father to me and I am a son for him🙂
Wow look at you 34K subs and growing! So proud of you! Keep up the good work and helping all the people that you do. Do I see a future podcast coming? In the app store... P.S. This FL humidity is unreal! I think I miss the Phoenix dry heat! lol ( P.S. It's Spidey)
If you get the chance, you should react to a song called Hated By Life Itself by MafuMafu! It's in Japanese but has English subtitles, although his voice alone gets across all the emotions anyway (the singer has also opened up about his struggles and experiences). Just a suggestion but I think it really captures the mindset we can have when it feels like life is crumbling in on you.
Most people will say "Strive for greatness!" As a middle age man overcoming my divorce i will tell you "Fight for survival!!!!" I went years of only eating only once or twice a week, you fight for your kids so that they can have a better life!!!!!
My daughter is 14. She is an exact copy of me. She is a ball of energy, a weirdo, a smartass, and a bit of a loudmouth. She also lives 1,500 miles away. I lost my apartment shortly before the pandemic, and after couch/floor hopping for a little while, my fiance and I ended up cashing out my 401k and moving into a motel. We have been living in motels ever since. Last year my ex, my daughter's mother, decided to sell her house and move to Texas (we live in California). I couldn't stop her because there is no court ordered custody or visitation order, nor could I take the time away from work to set any of that up. My daughter talks with me a lot about how her and her mom are constantly fighting (considering my daughter being exactly like me and knowing how her mom and I used to fight, this doesn't surprise me) and she tells me all the time how she just wants to come home and live with me and my fiance. I am working 40+ hours a week, I am eating very little, I have no cell phone, I have no car, I have nothing to add extra bills or financial stress to my situation, because my number 1 goal right now is to get a 2 bedroom apartment so that I can get my daughter home. It's hard. It's hard on me, and it's hard on my fiance, who has also been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and major depressive disorder. But we are doing our best. We are pushing through for that little one and for our family. Thank you Amanda for the wonderful and uplifting channel. It's surprisingly hard to find someone that has open and honest dialogue about mental health and suicide that isn't pushing some agenda or religious belief or something. As a spiritualist non-believer I find comfort and strength in the stories of others, whether they be positive affirmations, or failures that can be used as learning opportunities. I love your attitude and the atmosphere you cultivate.
There are organizations who will help with these situations. If you need help connecting to them, please email me (in video description) and let me know where you are. I can only imagine how frustrating this must be.
I'm so wounded today. I don't wanna go into why, a few people here know though. My whole life I grew up encouraged to never second-guess myself, to believe in myself more. All leading up to one fateful decision that no one should ever have to make, and now I spend my days doing it every day, wondering "did I do the right thing?" Today just feels SO hollow for me. So empty.
No one can always do the "right thing". That is painful to know, but it is a sad truth. We are flawed human beings. All anyone, including our children, can ask is that we try our best with loving intent. They will understand when they are old enough. Your "hollow" feeling just show how much you are full of love for them. Always keep that. They will also understand that.
I agree with David. That hollow feeling is a reflection of our love, compassion and empathy and I genuinely believe that they will understand one day 💖
I worry sometimes that my son won’t understand what we have because I’m lucky enough to be stable and have a good support network but when I was a child we had a time frame where we couldn’t afford groceries so every evening we would go fishing and my step dad had to pretend he wasn’t fishing because he couldn’t afford a fishing license. And on the weekends we went hunting. And that’s how we ate. It is the main reason I have an appreciation for being able to eat when in the past I sometimes only ate once a day and would lie to my parents saying I was full because my step dad only ate the leftovers. It’s a struggle that I want no one to live with but there is no shame in struggling.
Have you considered volunteering with him? That way he can see it without personally experiencing it. And you can bond and talk with him about your own story.
@@MentalAmanda we do some volunteer time and donate to the local food pantries and have been part of the fish and loaves program where we take turns making meals for people who are unable to make their own. He was a big help with our longest member who had breast cancer and he even helped out with seniors, one of which who passed away and my son asked to buy flowers for his grave. I'm probably worried for nothing since he has shown compassion for everyone we help and even asks if there's more we can do.
Met Life is (or at least was) an insurance company. No real parent feels like they are doing a good enough job as a parent. Only narcissists would ever think they are doing great (or perfect) as parents. Everybody else actually worries about things like most people do.
please try to do reaction with " Zombie - หน้ากากอีกาดำ | THE MASK SINGER หน้ากากนักร้อง " and " โอเลี้ยง…เพื่อนที่จะอยู่กับคุณตลอดไป - KTB Growing Together " and " Silence of love (Official English Subtitle) TVC Thai Life Insurance "
No matter what you're going through...it never justifies you being an asshole and rude to others. Get in line, wait your turn, you're not entitled to anything more than anyone else!
Metlife is financial services company, it provides insurance, annuities, and asset management services worldwide. A child that empathizes with her father's situation. She is mature beyond her years. In our world working hard does not necessarily mean that guarantees success. If at all possible get educated or learn a specialized trade. Always if at all possible live below your means. Plan for a time you may have a job loss or a need for money due to a unforeseen maintenance issue. I know the things I mentioned are common sense. Just departing what I've learned in my years. Best to you all.
If someone is stealing stuff f you if you're stealing to feed your children cheers to you sometimes just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong because it's legal don't mean it's good
I mean, her reaction is so wholesome... But what kinda bothers me is that her attention in the first place went straight to the part where the dad gives a small slap to her daughter... That tells what her mind was set in the first place
I have no sympathy for anyone stealing ipods and tvs but if your stealing food your in a bad place and need a hand and yes the iPod thing makes me old I'm 30 as I type this
Maybe they steal them to resell to buy food (it would be less risk to steal one item than many) or because they can't find work despite desperately trying or because they've never learned a better way. We never know.
You gonna say that the father's not lying about his happiness then go on to say that you had to "put on a face and pretend that we were ok" .... that's straight up lying cause you were not ok ... "are better not to share with them" ... lying again .... Keep on saying fake things and talking about other parents not spending quality time with their kids .... cause you're the spokesperson for a perfect parent. WOW!
You can be happy and still struggle. I am happy with my son, but there are times that I hide my struggles. I never said I am a perfect parent but quality time with your child and not sitting next to them while you both play on screens is important to bonding and development.
@@MentalAmanda Struggling is not happy. Its worrying where money is going to come from to pay bills or get food or whatever else let alone if anything extra comes along unexpected like an accident. You're putting on a front for your child to make them be happy like nothing is wrong but that's still fake/lying. Lil girl saw through that anyway and wrote the letter about it. Point of the video was just making any sacrifice for your child is what parents do. *Deleted the next 5 lines I had typed cause too harsh* Have a good day.
@@Xtremez350 When I was born, my parents were homeless on a beach in Florida because they sold their semi and gave up their livelihood to have me. My dad was completely disabled. I found a letter from my mom saying that time was the happiest that she had ever been. Life is struggle. Life is suffering. Happy people or people who consider their lives happy aren't immune to that. They simply know how to connect to what matters. In this case (and the case of my parents), it's love and family.

Not fair! How can we begin to thank you for your openness and honesty? You are such a great mom! Thank you for everything.
No cap, I’ve seen this damn commercial 30+ times and i can not stop crying. Every time bruh!
Make it 100+. I have 2 daughters of my own so this hits hard every damn time i watch it!!
me too, i feel like someone chopping onions everytime i watch this
@@krazematikI think the onion ninjas must come from Thailand. Hence the commercials. =)
I'm a father to 3 sons and daughter. Father's share a special bond with their sons as well as their daughters. I will always be very protective when it comes to my kids; but even more so when it comes to my little girl. It's a natural instinct.

There has never been a more fierce worrior than a mother. I wish you all the best. Love from India.
Daddy isn't a liar, daddy is doing whatever he has to do to make sure everything is taken care of. Daddy just doesn't think you should worry yourself about all of the bad things and focus on the good things! Enjoy being a kid! Daddy will take care of the rest, because that's what daddy's do!
The sound make more touching
This is the most heart warming thing I've ever watched because it happens everywhere every second. That's why I always love and appreciate my parents.
Your descriptiveness of your intentions on sharing your take or reaction to this video is phenomenal and helpful
This totally pulled my heart strings when I saw it for the first time

Your reaction is GOLD, pls do more "Thai Saddest Commercial Reaction".
This made me cry
💗💗💗💗💗I love everything about this video. Thank you for sharing your experience. Take care!!🧡
Thai commercials are amazing and super emotional! I would suggest watching "My Beautiful Woman" by Wacoal, it's also a parent - child commercial :)
thank you for sharing your story, it got me crying :(

Thank you for doing this... I really needed this..
This hits me harder than I thought, even though I don't know the feeling of having a family.
But I think it's the truth, because for me it's natural to fight, bleed and die for your child.

Today's video really hits home. My older brother Passed away yesterday at the age of 58. On Father's Day. John Medel
6/20/63 -6/19/22 Yes
If you notice A-day before his birthday.
He was a good older brother. But like a lot of people drugs got to hold a John.
Our sons are 15 days apart
They were born in 1989
His son Dominic Never really knew him After the divorce.
John later had a daughter named Erica.
I know in the beginning John tried really hard to be a great dad since he wasn't able to with Dominic.
This video reminds me of John trying so hard. Never getting it quite right.
My older son knows his Uncle John.
My 17 and 14 year old daughters never never even met him.
I don't know what I'm trying to say here I guess I'm just trying to grieve with somebody buddy that somebody is you all. He was a good guy he was a great brother And as far as being a great father I guess that's for our children to decide and not for anybody else. I hope Dominic and Erica
Forgive their dad and just love him for who he was Because I know he love them both. I could go on and on about my brother and i experiences in life there were many and they were great. But I'll never forget when my brother told me one time. He said when I die I want you to put on my tombstone.
Tell them I'm dead man.
So here it goes from my brother John.
Johnny's dead man!!!
Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday brother.💔
Happy Father's day to you and John. I hope he rests in peace and you find ways to share his love 💖

The "Because of me" part always breaks me, she blames herself.
My dad will drunk and beat my mom
Beat me also one day my mom left and my dad brutally beats me for mom left.
Then my dad died because of health issues i was 16 and
Now I am with my grandfather he is
Real father to me and I am a son for him🙂
I am glad that you found the love you deserve!
Trust me, your children appreciate you!

As a spiritualist non-believer I find comfort and strength in the stories of others, whether they be positive affirmations, or failures that can be used as learning opportunities. I love your attitude and the atmosphere you cultivate.
There are organizations who will help with these situations. If you need help connecting to them, please email me (in video description) and let me know where you are. I can only imagine how frustrating this must be.
well said at the intro
I don't even have kids and this commercial broke me
I once accidentally cut off a man in traffic and he sent me a peace sign and nodded and smiled, I've never forgotten it.
P.S. My Dad was a liar too 🥲
i just got obsessed with your tattoo
Which one?
@@MentalAmanda always⏃
@@siri85400 Ahh, yes! How did you type a deathly hallows emoji?! I'm jealous!
I'm so wounded today. I don't wanna go into why, a few people here know though. My whole life I grew up encouraged to never second-guess myself, to believe in myself more. All leading up to one fateful decision that no one should ever have to make, and now I spend my days doing it every day, wondering "did I do the right thing?" Today just feels SO hollow for me. So empty.
No one can always do the "right thing". That is painful to know, but it is a sad truth. We are flawed human beings. All anyone, including our children, can ask is that we try our best with loving intent. They will understand when they are old enough. Your "hollow" feeling just show how much you are full of love for them. Always keep that. They will also understand that.
I agree with David. That hollow feeling is a reflection of our love, compassion and empathy and I genuinely believe that they will understand one day 💖
I worry sometimes that my son won’t understand what we have because I’m lucky enough to be stable and have a good support network but when I was a child we had a time frame where we couldn’t afford groceries so every evening we would go fishing and my step dad had to pretend he wasn’t fishing because he couldn’t afford a fishing license. And on the weekends we went hunting. And that’s how we ate. It is the main reason I have an appreciation for being able to eat when in the past I sometimes only ate once a day and would lie to my parents saying I was full because my step dad only ate the leftovers.
It’s a struggle that I want no one to live with but there is no shame in struggling.
Have you considered volunteering with him? That way he can see it without personally experiencing it. And you can bond and talk with him about your own story.
@@MentalAmanda we do some volunteer time and donate to the local food pantries and have been part of the fish and loaves program where we take turns making meals for people who are unable to make their own. He was a big help with our longest member who had breast cancer and he even helped out with seniors, one of which who passed away and my son asked to buy flowers for his grave.
I'm probably worried for nothing since he has shown compassion for everyone we help and even asks if there's more we can do.
@@GreenParlour0749 He will have all the understanding he needs. Good job
Please do Shinedowns new song Daylight! It goes right along with the theme that you're doing for this channel about mental health
It's from Hong Kong
Products from Hong Kong But everything in this video come from Thailand

You should react to when a demon defiles a witch by whitechapel
Yes! Such a crazy powerful song!
Met Life is (or at least was) an insurance company.
No real parent feels like they are doing a good enough job as a parent.
Only narcissists would ever think they are doing great (or perfect) as parents. Everybody else actually worries about things like most people do.
please try to do reaction with " Zombie - หน้ากากอีกาดำ | THE MASK SINGER หน้ากากนักร้อง " and " โอเลี้ยง…เพื่อนที่จะอยู่กับคุณตลอดไป - KTB Growing Together " and " Silence of love (Official English Subtitle) TVC Thai Life Insurance "
No matter what you're going through...it never justifies you being an asshole and rude to others. Get in line, wait your turn, you're not entitled to anything more than anyone else!
Metlife is financial services company, it provides insurance, annuities, and asset management services worldwide.
A child that empathizes with her father's situation. She is mature beyond her years.
In our world working hard does not necessarily mean that guarantees success. If at all possible get educated or learn a specialized trade.
Always if at all possible live below your means. Plan for a time you may have a job loss or a need for money due to a unforeseen maintenance issue.
I know the things I mentioned are common sense. Just departing what I've learned in my years. Best to you all.
If someone is stealing stuff f you if you're stealing to feed your children cheers to you sometimes just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong because it's legal don't mean it's good
I'am crying because of you'r story not with thats video
👍
I support of u mam
Parents always sacrifice for children
😢😢😢
Try to react rammstein songs
I mean, her reaction is so wholesome... But what kinda bothers me is that her attention in the first place went straight to the part where the dad gives a small slap to her daughter... That tells what her mind was set in the first place
I'm confused by what you mean.
"That got dark." How?
I didn't realize the context when I was watching it at first.
Ahhh speaking too soon. I understand now. Have a great day.
I have no sympathy for anyone stealing ipods and tvs but if your stealing food your in a bad place and need a hand and yes the iPod thing makes me old I'm 30 as I type this
Maybe they steal them to resell to buy food (it would be less risk to steal one item than many) or because they can't find work despite desperately trying or because they've never learned a better way. We never know.

Me new Subcriber
You gonna say that the father's not lying about his happiness then go on to say that you had to "put on a face and pretend that we were ok" .... that's straight up lying cause you were not ok ... "are better not to share with them" ... lying again .... Keep on saying fake things and talking about other parents not spending quality time with their kids .... cause you're the spokesperson for a perfect parent. WOW!
You can be happy and still struggle. I am happy with my son, but there are times that I hide my struggles. I never said I am a perfect parent but quality time with your child and not sitting next to them while you both play on screens is important to bonding and development.
@@MentalAmanda Struggling is not happy. Its worrying where money is going to come from to pay bills or get food or whatever else let alone if anything extra comes along unexpected like an accident. You're putting on a front for your child to make them be happy like nothing is wrong but that's still fake/lying. Lil girl saw through that anyway and wrote the letter about it. Point of the video was just making any sacrifice for your child is what parents do. *Deleted the next 5 lines I had typed cause too harsh* Have a good day.
@@Xtremez350 When I was born, my parents were homeless on a beach in Florida because they sold their semi and gave up their livelihood to have me. My dad was completely disabled. I found a letter from my mom saying that time was the happiest that she had ever been. Life is struggle. Life is suffering. Happy people or people who consider their lives happy aren't immune to that. They simply know how to connect to what matters. In this case (and the case of my parents), it's love and family.
