Hey LD & Mom! Love this honest, real & candid conversation. This is so important that we create a safe, loving, compassionate place for these conversations to take place. Thank You for allowing us to be with you on this journey!❤Your mom is an extraordinary woman & mother! Looking forward to more heartfelt conversations with your mom.❤The love she has for you & your family is beautiful!❤
Thank you so much for everything you have said here! I greatly appreciate it! I know my mom will be Thankfull as well. I thought that hearing this from another angle was crucial to understand this disease. Be on the lookout for the rest of this series. Thanks a bunch! God bless
Thanks so much to you and your Mum. What a lovely, classy, intelligent lady. She's a great Mum -waiting for you to speak and watching you with loving eyes!! You are doing great work - this is very interesting and informative to lots of people. Hope your parents had a great time in Italy for 1 month!!
Looking forward to the other episodes, thanks again !! Much love to both of you!
Hey Becky! Much love back to you! Thank you for everything you said about my mom. You are just so nice! I know she has seen this and definitely appreciated it. New video should be up any minute! Thank you! God bless
My mind is blown !!
If I ever asked my mom to sit down & ask these ?’s she would NEVER & if she did it was all “my fault”
I understand. Luckily my mom agreed. I know it wasn't easy for her. I saw her holding back a lot of tears.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk good form of therapy… Wow tears? You have a real mama.
@@VictorMendez-l6u I would be the same… I can’t imagine however I’d never leave our sons side. I do believe in miracles 🙏🏻🩷 God Bless
Good parenting 101
Please tell your mom a nice thank you for doing this. She was very classy and sophisticated, respectful of what you're doing. She is helping so many of us in differene ways, I have no doubt. Thank you!!!
Thank you chickens don't surf! I really appreciate all the nice things you said about my mom. I am so grateful that she did this. 3 more coming, ended up being over 2 hours. God bless
These people aren't helping you. They are covertly destroying you.
Thanks to your Mom for sharing. RN's learn certain skills to deal with tough things but I can't imagine how hard it is when it is your kid and you know how serious things are in a way maybe someone else wouldn't.
Thank you for watching. I can't even imagine what that must have been like and what she is dealing with now. God bless
Woo Hoo to your mom.
Yeah it’s so hard sitting still.
Sometimes we know too much being in nursing
Thank you!!!
Your mom is so beautiful and well-spoken. Great video, thank you. Btw, The Hill is a 2023 movie on Netflix based on a true story.
Got u! Thank you! I thought it was that show about how Washington works. I could have swore that's what it was. I screwed that one up! Thank you for the nice words about my mom. I'm sure she will look at the comments and will appreciate this so much! God bless
Love you Mom!! And you have a wonderful son and family!!
Thank you so much! There are 3 more videos to come. We kept talking and talking. We went into a lot. Keep an eye out for the rest of the episodes. They will be up early everyday! God bless
I watch you because I have an alcoholic brother. He is still in denial stage. You are intelligent and informative. Wish you the best on your journey, keep positive! God bless you
I'll bet your mom and your wife are like best friends. Just a hunch that they have been in this together...
They have been through a lot with me. A lot! I know that they both have been at my bedside at the worst times of my life and held my hand through some of the scariest things I have ever encountered. Thanks so much! 😊 God bless
It's good to see you and your mom
Thank you so much for watching! So much more to come! God bless😊
Your mom seems super sweet, kind and an RN... smart! Also, pretty woman. What a blessing.
Thank you and your sweet mom
So welcome! God bless
Thank you LD and please extend my thanks to your mother…the information she is sharing must bring difficult memories. I appreciate her bravery and kindness.
Thank you! She will see these comments for sure. I will definitely tell her to go look. So many nice people here saying such nice things! Thank you! God blesz
being a former canadian base-brat, i can relate to this talk of not fitting in, as a result of moving around. i switched schools after K, after Grade 4, after Grade 6, after Grade 9, and after Grade 11. going into grade 12, as a new kid, was the hardest of all my moves, followed by moving after Grade 9. in Canada, back then, schools were divided into K-4, 5-6, 7-9, and 10-12. the school organization is different now. i always made friends, but to this day, i still find my relationships to be short-term, and not like those who i knew, who basically stayed in the same town, in the same same schools as their freinds, from K-12. i am thankful, however, in hindsight, that all that moving around made me more adaptive to change than those that remained in place.
great introduction to your mom. ty "Mom", for engaging with us, and taking the time to share your experiences with your warrior son.
Thank you David! I really appreciate you sharing your experiences growing up and how that played a vital role in your experience. I really appreciate you watching and continuing to support this channel! Thank you again! Three more parts to this coming up. God bless
Wow great interview G ! I can't believe she found your weed in your boom box battery compartment. What a detective! !!!
Yeah.. her and my wife share one thing in common! They are both great detectives! They both should have gone into law enforcement! Hahaha! Thanks jersey girl! Love ya! God bless
Just want to say as a nurse for 20 years we are always trying to solve problems or fix them your mom is an awesome nurse.. we have a knack of figuring stuff our 😮
You're mom is Awesome! Just like her son.
You are so kind. Thank you so much! God bless
Moving is top 4 major life altering experiences along with a death, birth, divorce, etc
Your mom is so brave to come on and relive these experiences, your story is so similar to what I experienced with my son even your movie choices, we would watch Hannibal the series together in anticipation of seeing him make coffee in that beautiful coffee maker! I absolutely feel what your mother went through, but I also feel her joy seeing you sober and for who you really are in using your giftedness in helping other's with your story. You always say you love your followers...truth is, We Love You!
Wow! Thank you! I know it wasn't easy for her, but with all she has been through, she wants to help bring awareness to this as much as I do. The struggles that we go through as alcholics and addicts, is real and the damage is as well. Thank you for the nice things you have said here. I really appreciate it! God bless
And I really do love you all! Thank you for saying you all love me. That means a lot!
One of the scariest, best movies I have EVER seen was “The Edge”…. I love Anthony Hopkins & I’m deathly afraid of Bears…. This movie had me sitting at the end of my seat….😱😱😱
It's still a fav of mine. Can watch it over and over again ... Very under rated
Fascinating 🤨. Your poor mum has a family backstory with booze 🍸 problems. How awful her worst fears confirmed when her son also falls victim to alcoholism.
Hey LD today’s video was very interesting to hear it from your mom’s perspective. Given that she has a medical background and seeing your addiction escalating and knowing what havoc it could cause must have been very difficult. I applaud you both for being able to talk about the tough subject. Thank you both for that. I look forward to the next videos. This is really helpful.
Thank you micru866! I really appreciate you watching. I'm sure it was hard for her to talk about, but she wants to help too. She has been through so much because of my abuse and doesn't want to see this happen to anyone else. Be on the lookout! So much more to come! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk these people are covertly destroying you.
What a lovely lady your mother is ❤ thanx for a great video ❤❤
Thank you! She will see this for sure! God bless
Great video LD. Great to hear a patents point of view
Hey Veronica! Thank you! How are you doing? Hope all is well. God bless
Wonderful video. I really appreciate your mother's honesty. You are so lucky to have such support and love and people who hung in there for such a long time. Addiction is truly an ugly illness. People who are still in the thick of their drinking and drugging hopefully will hear your message. Your mother's message is also very powerful as a child of an alcoholic and then the parent of one. Thank you for opening up to us and thank your mother also.
Thank you for Watching!!! God bless
Great video #1 with your Mom! She seems like a very sweet lady and I look forward to seeing the next one! Thanks and have a great evening! 😊
Thank you Tammy! Thank you for saying that about my mom too! 3 more episodes coming! God bless
I bet your mom is so very proud of you 🫂❤️🙏. She's a lovely lady 🌹
Thank you! Yes! I think she is! Thank you for watching and I really appreciate you being here! God bless
LD, you have NO idea how lucky you are, you still have your Mom and she loves you. And is still here to see you sober. What a great, great blessing straight from God. I’m sure she has been extremely worried about you, and rightfully so. Sobriety for you is a miracle, and you know it. You will have the comfort and solace of knowing your family was able to see you gain sobriety. God bless you all, I love you.
LD please please please give your mom a hug.
I appreciate the time yall took to make this vid.
Thank her for showing me what a kind compassionate mom looks like for those of us who didn’t have somewhere safe to be.
Stop 🛑 apologizing my friend.
This girl understands.
Thank you Kristen! I did give her a hug on the way out! She was so nice to do this. I'll stop apologizing... it's just in my nature. I tend to day sir and ma'am too much too. Manners were very important growing up. God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I can tell. YAY!
I’m a hugger too. I look forward to the nxt one.
Oh & that “apologizing” thing yeah I do it all the time too.
Robbie will say Mom it’s ok nothing to be sorry for…
I got this Mom 🥹
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I still to this day tell Robbies friend to plz call me Ms. Kristen.. ma’am makes me feel old.
I get it’s a southern thing & form of respect.
Robbie says it too… just not to me lol
@@liverdisease-qb6rk manners always growing up. Strict Catholic upbringing too. Yikes 😬 lol
@@Kristen10-22 hahaha! People have been telling me for years to "not" say that.... and I reply with "yes sir or ma'am " . I just can't help it!
This was a great video. Your mom is a beautiful lady , seems very kind as well. Good to hear a little from her perspective. Looking forward to part 2 . Thank you for sharing. God Bless you both 💕 😊🙏 ✨️.
Thank you! Part 2 coming tomorrow! I will have it up rather early too! I really appreciate you watching today! God bless
@liverdisease-qb6rk So Welcome. Really informative. Thank you & your mom for sharing. God Bless 💕✨️👍.
Thanks to you and your mom for doing these videos for us. I appreciate you being so candid and open. By the way, your mom is very youthful looking, she must have been very young when she had you. Looking forward to the next parts. God bless!
Hey there! You are so welcome. My mom is almost 70. She definitely doesn't look her age. I'm sure she will appreciate this a lot!!! Thank you! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Almost 70?! I would never have thought that, she looks ten years younger. God bless both of you!
Thank your mother for me. She is so right when she stated alcohol changes peoples personality. My parents were angry drunks. And she stated something about how those memories stay with you from childhood. My parents alcoholism changed who I was meant to be. The damage it does to a childs future is so unfair. I cant get past how a person can make a choice about how they choose to live their life and by doing so it changes the people around them. So not by my choice but someone elses choices my emotional stability and life is forever changed. Alcoholism is such a selfish disease. I am so happy you are putting light on something that is not discussed much. It is important to talk to the people who love you and show the potential damage that someones drinking can do to others. You are helping to show people who continue to drink what the future looks like if you continue with this behavior. Thank you and your family and friends. You are amazing!
Thank you so much Angela! Not an easy video to do for sure... but it needed to be made. I am trying my best to show all sides of this. From the alcholics to the friends and family and how it affects all of us. I really want to help try to show people that this doesn't just affect us... the drinker, but everyone who loves us too. Thank you so much for watching, and I am happy that I am able to bring some light to this. I really appreciate you! God bless
Angela you aren’t alone. I’m sorry you were brought up in an unstable home too. I wonder if I had a mom who was loving, stable, kind what would I have turned out to be. Hugs
@@Kristen10-22 I am sorry for you as well. It was both my parents and they have been gone now for about 20 yrs. Both passed in thir early 60's. It is so unbelievable to me what a profound effect it has been on my life. I find comfort watching these videos and reading the comments. Just knowing someone has the chance to better the life of their children and change the generational trauma soothes me. You are in my prayers Kristen. 🙏 ❤️
@@AngelaMRoss oh my goodness I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
I’ve lost mine by choice. I came to this epiphany when our son was 3 around 2007. Call it a trigger, an instinct but mama bear came out.
I never wanted him to be around her drinking, constant poking, teasing, put downs you know. It wasn’t until a day in 2013 that he came home scared. Scratches on his back & almost disassociated. It wasn’t a nice phone call. Of course my problem. Mourning people still alive is fd up.
They raised 2 addicts. My brother died in 2018 of an od. Cptsd & bpd that’s me. I too find comfort in the comments. I’ve broke the generational curse. Stopped with me
@@Kristen10-22 I am so sorry to hear that about your son. I never had children. Part choice and part miscarriages. But seeing how my mental health has been I am satisfied I did not pass on any of that trauma. Generational trauma is so real. I pray for you and your family and am so sorry you had to make the choice to not continue a relationship with your mother but very proud of you for breaking the cycle and protecting your own. Your in my thoughts sista! 💖
That mustnt have come easy for your mum. Shoutout. You are one glad man. That support. ( Drugs ,too. New to me, though. You open up , like a book. What a beatiful an inspiring journey , for you to take. ) I wish , we could share more , esp. to people, on the suffering end. I wish, we could sell this awakening, like drugdealers do, with drugs. I wish people couls share this hope. You do, chris. Love that. Really helped me out, when I was in withdrawal, with no end in sight. But ....here we are. May god hold his hands over you and your loved ones.
Thank you!!!! You are so kind. And yes... I used drugs as well. I dabbled in just about everything... and I mean everything. Never used needles or pills, but basically everything else. I appreciate you saying everything here. My mom will definitely appreciate it as well. I am going to tell her to look at the comments. Thank you so much! God blesz😊😊😊
@@liverdisease-qb6rk yes. And your approach is quit the testament to society, isn't it? You opened up on alcohol first, then admit to drugs. That's how, we as people do it to. Oh, well alcohol? Yeah unlucky.
But drugs? Uhh you filthy human being.
We even call them that. Junkies.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
So many beautiful souls, and kind and loving people lost.
It's a shame.
Especially, What's going on now with addiction.
But you are on a self thought pass, to open up about your mental health.
I admire that. Took you something. ( Maybe watch your first video again)
But today you found way.
Comfortably approaching family issues.
That's strength. And guts.
Let's say it. Big balls.
You got a set of those, involving your mom.
Sorry. Pardon my french.
Thank you.
( Please find out, where you originated from)
Thank u 4 the video with your mom...Movie: Less Than Zero with Robert Downey Jr. Oldie but good...your mom is a gem 💎...God Bless !! ❤
You are welcome Jennifer! I had an intro to today's video with your movie suggestion in it and forgot to add it. I had already done the editing and it was starting to upload before I remembered. It will be in tomorrow's video. Sorry! Thank you for watching! God bless
xo xo
😊😊😊 thank you! God bless
Great video my friend. I lost my mom to cancer last year, so cherish these memories with her. Can't wait for more videos!
Hey! Thank you! I'm so sorry about your mom. That must be so hard to deal with. I hope you are doing ok. Thanks for watching! God bless
Comments for the algorithm ❤
Thank you!!!! You are awesome! God bless
Chris I know you have a lot of regrets about drinking in general and with your kids & family seeing you at your worst points, but want to remind you that you are doing so much good now to reverse that and make things good. It makes me sad to hear such an amazing person like you is so ill as a result of your choices, but I pray for a miracle for you and full recovery. It's not an easy road getting from where you were using to where you're at today. You're leaving a good legacy through this channel, remember that.
Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. Thank you for watching and for letting me know that these videos are helping others. I did get sick because of my choices and that is why I am trying so hard to keep others from walking down the same path as me. It's not something that j want to see anyone else have to go through. I know I am just one person, but together, we can make a difference. Thanks again! God bless
Thanks to your mom for being apart of the interview
There is a show I started watching that I thought was great it's called shining Vale with Courtney Cox.. Hello to your mom she seems very sweet..
Thank you! I added your video suggestion to today's intro and forgot to add it when I edited it. It will be in tomorrow's video. Be on the lookout! God blesz
My movie suggestion: little miss sunshine. Never fails to make me feel better
Thank you for the movie suggestion! I will add it to tomorrow's video! Be on the lookout! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk sorry about the username. Made it a long long time ago 😂
@@LOLIloveyourmother hahahaha!!!!! 🤣
Hey 👋🏻 there I’m so glade to see your Mom! And here just a little bit of your experience from a different perspective. Looking forward to the next 2 videos. Also can I substitute Almond Milk for Unsweetened Coconut Milk or even Cashew Milk unsweetened? With the Alfredo sauce? Im not a fan of Almond Milk. Thanks again. Jackie 😊
You absolutely can substitute for both! It will definitely work out just fine. Might need a little more corn starch slurry, but that's all. Thank you for watching. There are 3 more coming. God bless
The same thing happened to me. I was 14 and we moved from PA where I had friends from Kindergarten to TX where I knew no one. I really didn’t try hard to fit in because I was depressed and angry and found my friends with the party kids.
My Dad's family was all big drinkers --- but all the cousins put the uncles on pedestals // lots of denial --- the men were narcissist blow hards full of themselves ... my own father was alcoholic // put us through hell with his womanizing, drinking and abandonment -- OF course every guy I picked was alcoholic OR had problem drinking --- OF course I became alcoholic --- it takes a brave one to end the generational cycle of dysfunction
I feel so bad for both of you.
You should check out True Romance. It has Christian slater, Patricia Arquette, Brad pitt and a all star cast
Thank you! I looked it up and didn't see it streaming for free anywhere. Do u know where I could watch it for free? Thanks. God bless
@liverdisease-qb6rk I own it. I looked it up and it's not streaming anywhere right now unfortunately. But keep an eye out for it. AMAZING movie. It's not really about Romance so much lol
@@Thatdudefresh I saw itbon prime for like 3 bucks. I will probably just rent it. You have my attention now! I am a movie addict! And especially a really good one! I'll let you know when I watch it! Thank you again!
great interview, hits home. The amount of times my mum found my stash and we would argue.
I absolutely loved Hannibal, so trippy, i watched it all just last summer. Don't think these have been recommended, "requiem for a dream" - deals with addiction "The Platform"- psychological Horror on Netflix, very interesting
God Bless
Thank you so much! Sounds like we both lost our stashes! Hahaha! Thank you for the movie suggestions. I really appreciate it! I will add requiem for a dream. Thank you for that one. That movie is so messed up. I just recommend the platform a couple days ago. That's another good one. That movie made me not want to eat for a while.... I'm not kidding! Thank you again! How's the weather over there today? God bless
haha! ye platform is very intense. Weather here has been very stormy the last week. Today it rained most of the day, but thats not unusual in Ireland lol @@liverdisease-qb6rk
Thank you for this video. You're moms grandfather sounded so much like my grandmother. She was a mean alcoholic but stopped drinking completely before I was born. My mom told her, she wouldn't be allowed to be around me if she was still drinking. She chose family thankfully and I always knew my grandma as being so warm and loving. She said she did have delirium tremens so bad it also scared her sober. She said she saw snakes coming down from the ceiling at her.
Thank you for watching and I really appreciate you sharing your story. God bless
Hey there Sir! It’s a little later in the evening and I’m finally getting to watch your conversation with your momma. I can just tell what a great, great person she is. I think we are close to the same age and have some similarities in our upbringings. My dad and grandpa were alcoholics as well. And I made mention to you previously that my daughters dad, my ex, was a drinker and abused pills also.
So again, I’m looking forward to the rest of y’alls conversations, and those of other guest.
Mom, It’s a pleasure meeting you and you have a wonderful son, I’m sure your very proud.
Take care y’all-Peace out! 😇🌻
Hey Joyce! Thank you so much for watching this! Thank you for all the nice things you said about my mom. I know she had probably seen this already and I know she appreciates it. New video should be up any minute. I made an intro and forgot to add it to the video, so... movie suggestions and things will be in tomorrow's video. Thanks a bunch!!😊😊😊 God bless
Wow my mom didn’t share her childhood with me & supposedly my grandpa was an alcoholic. I never saw my grandpa abusive or drank alcohol from what I was told. I’m missing so much of my parents upbringing
I'm so sorry Kristen. Funny thing is, I was talked to about it growing up and didn't listen... of course. God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk thank you.
I can forgive however, none of us as adults have to put up with any family members that don’t share our values when it comes to sobriety & good mental health. I’m so grateful for having an example of a “healthy” relationship between a mom and son.
@@Kristen10-22 that's so nice of you to say! Thank you! I know my mom will really appreciate this.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk growing up my mom was to be feared…She told me that when I was little so to see/hear your mom who’s prob at the age of mine was weird in my mind. At least I’ve parented Robbie from what “NOT” to do. Your mom is refreshing.
Like yeah Kristen believe your gut.
What you had wasn’t normal & it’s ok now..
It was wonderful to meet your mom on here. I can tell she is your rock and so glad you have a good support system. I can relate to being a mom of an addict my son is doing really well. It's been ironic that I am the one with Cirrhosis and never drank, did drugs, or had hepatitis. Life is strange but I am glad his liver is good. I had my appt. Today at UNC Chapel Hill it went well. I had some of my questions answered and of course need to make some decisions about my future. A living donor was a very good option for me down the road. My MELD score was 18 a little higher than I realized, but we're gonna try a few things and in the meantime time I'll be deciding about a transplant. He was very good didn't rush me and answered my concerns. Like I said I feel really hopeful for now. Hug your mom for me so sweet of her to share with us. God Bless You and look forward for the next videos, they are very encouraging. 😊
Hey there. I am so sorry about everything you have going on. That's a lot to have going on. That's so horrible that you got cirrhosis and never drank. I really hope things begin to improve for you soon. I have heard great things about that hospital. Friend of mines dad had lung transplants done there and lived for another 10 years after. He had nothing but great things to say about that hospital, so I think you're in good hands. Will you keep me posted on how you are doing please? Thank you for all the kind words. My mom will se your comment. I know she will appreciate it. I hope you are feeling ok. I know the struggle, it's always an uphill battle. I have been dealing with nausea all afternoon, I'm sure you know the feeling. Thanks again! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I sure will keep you updated. So good to know of your friends dad's success with his lung transplant. Sorry you have been nauseous I do understand lots of times mine is just like a dry heave but come sometimes out of nowhere. I was happy the drive went well it's about 2 and a half hours one way. The only trouble I had was soreness on my left side from my tap two days ago. It was another 6.5 liters taken off after having 8.5 liters taken off just on Jan. 11th. So a total of 15 in 11 days. We changed up some meds and will try that for a while if no success we talked about that tips procedure you mentioned. Thank you for sharing.
Rocket Man sounds like a good watch
My story is just so distorted for supposedly having an alcoholic maternal grandfather.
I have that clotting gene in my blood. Threw a nice sized golf ball after my ca surgery. I had been moving which is so bizarre. Being in nursing u have to get up and walk. I threw it a week after being d/c in ICU.
Thank you for sharing this! God bless
What is d/c btw?
@@liverdisease-qb6rk sorry medical
Discharged from ICU
I carry the blood gene & BRCA 2 from my dad.
My Grandfather’s were both severe alcoholics and both died before I was even born.
Taking toooo long to get to your mom.
Great interview Your mom is a gem
Thank you so much! God bless
