Adam sweetheart even as an almost 30 yr old woman you've helped me process my grooming around 16 yrs ago just from sharing your story and processing it publicly ❤️ I'm sending you the most light and love 💖
That's probably because your brain isn't fully developed until mid 20s. So it isn't until about 30 before people really become adults. But of course it doesn't feel so much like that when you're 28. ✌️❤️
Much love and continued healing for all of you! I'm so sorry that you have anything that you had to process and work through, but hope nothing but the best for all of you and that you have the support that you deserve!!!!
Can tell those puppers are glad you are home! So so so glad you didn't end up cancelling your trip. At 21 you should be living your life to the fullest and LA looked so good on you. You've handled so much, with so much grace and intelligence. Onwards and upwards for you, you're an amazing human Adam.
Hey Adam...I saw you but was too nervous to bring up anything since you were on vacation and I didn't know if bringing up anything would put salt on the wound. But Adam, you have helped me so much...helped me with recognizing that my relationship with my family friend was indeed grooming and inappropriate. Helped me with getting out of the toxic "friendship" and also helped with bringing up my confidence. I love you Adam...I hope you see this. You deserve to feel all the love.
i'm so glad you've realized this and have helped yourself and that this channel helped.. i know it's random, but i am really happy you did this for yourself and it gives me hope and helps me feel more confident in helping myself with my own situations that are similar ! i am extremely happy for you and proud of you .
@@prolificlightdamage oh my god. I appreciate you so much and love you. Never ever stay for someone so vile. You are gorgeous in your own way ❤ you know your worth. Get rid of those people. 💜🧡💛❤💚🖤💜🤎
With peace and love to those people, you arent these peoples counselor or therapist. While i genuinely feel for them and what theyve been through, it isnt fair to come up to someone on a vacation and essentially trauma dump on them. It actually makes me really sad for you that this happened so much. None of that is your baggage to carry. You have spoken up and given others the courage to do the same, which is amazing. With that said, people going up to someone they dont know and forcing their baggage on you is not okay. To say they relate is one thing. To dump horrific details and stories on you is another. It just makes me so, so sad. You are dealing with enough. And i wish people would respect that and not pile more on you.
This is a big part of why I left the internet over 10 years ago. I couldn’t get away from ‘fans’ who wouldn’t listen when I tried to put up boundaries. I hope Adam is able to set up some more boundaries but we also all need to stand behind them when they do say ‘please don’t do this.’
Agreed, he had plenty of trauma dumping already. I'm glad people are talking, but I hope they're reaching out to professionals. It's too much to put on a person who's already dealing with a lot.
As an old lady, same age as the horrible person, you are everything I would hope my kids grow up to be as awesome, kind and level headed. I am a youth worker and paid to spend time with kids, I’m not their friend I am their protector, I am so disgusted an adult would hurt a person, let alone a child.
My thoughts are with you during this tough time, treat yourself to something nice. I love seeing your animals interrupt you in your videos to give you some love, so cute 😍
I'm a therapist. All you need to do as a human is listen and validate where you can when people are sharing. Your presence is enough ❤ Most people just want to know someone heard them 🙂
Yes! Finding someone who will witness you without giving advice or trying to fix you is so valuable! One of my favorite sayings for supporting people through trauma: "Don't just do something, stand there."
And anyway it's not his responsibility if they feel hurt because he didn't answer the right way, they themselves chose to tell, he didn't ask for them to tell and doesn't sound like these people where friends him but rather strangers.
I am 40 years old and watching. I hope that you aren't creeped out by that. I am watching both because I am curious about everything and shocked about how some grown-ups use their authority in a horrible way, but also because my oldest daughter is 11 years old and I am watching to see what to look out for to try my best to protect her in this world of social media that obviously wasn't a thing when I grew up. Thank you for using your platform to kind of educate us in the beauty and dangers of it. Oh and from Denmark 😃
As a kid of the internet pls don't let them go on unsupervised a lot of these websites have inappropriate content on them & as a person now with a developed brain consuming that kind of entertainment with an underdeveloped brain did a lot of damage to me & I am still dealing with the damages of hypersexuality & a poor body image those are like some of the biggest challenges that they would face while being on the internet I hope you guys day safe & happy & wish you the best in protecting your children ❤❤
yes i agree with the reply to this, I would certainly look into the parental controls for phones and other devices. There are a lot of different ways you can utilize it to keep your children safe and monitor the apps they download etc. :)
@caniborrow5031 good points. My daughter can't download apps, there's codes, I have to approve. I also check up on what she looks at and find interesting. So far all is harmless.
@@hannahbarbarian6786I'm a 26 y old mom, would you care to share what websites or media that affected you the most? I'm trying to be the most prepared I can for my daughter before she's old enough to browse online herself. I'm very sorry that not all parents recognize the harms of the Internet!
watch out for kik and omegle. those are solely used by groomers and creeps so if your child has those apps downloaded, it's time for a conversation. i would maybe monitor instagram dms because predators will sometimes contact children and manipulate them into sending nude or compromising images. if you find anything inappropriate on your child's phone, please show compassion when confronting your child about it. i remember when my mom found that i was talking with predators online, she was sooo angry. i was yelled at, punished, and she was hostile towards me for weeks. because of this, i didn't really understand the dangers in what i was doing. i just knew it wasn't allowed. so i retreated further into the internet and it brought me closer to the grown men i was "talking" with. just make it clear that you're acting out of care. it's not a moral failure on her part. these individuals are good at what they do.
I think one of the hardest parts of trauma is knowing how it feels and wanting to be there for people you relate to and wanting to help them but you simply can’t because of that trauma. It can be triggering even if you think it’s not and you think you’re doing okay listening to someone else talk about similar experiences. It’s difficult but you’ve got to put yourself first so that you can heal, everything you’re already doing is enough. Sending love.
I agree. Trauma is awful. Period. And when you’re an empathetic person, you want to help people to not hurt. But sometimes the best way to do that is to make sure that your cup is full, even if that means that you can’t listen to everyone. Sometimes you just can’t because it would be too much for you and your healing.
Exactly! Sometimes you just have to step away for a bit. But having folks share actually helps both of you. Having the sense to listen and give a bit of help is powerful.
So glad you had fun in Disney! Even though you may not have known what to say, you listened. That means so much and I think that's all a lot of us want! You're doing great!❤
So proud of you for everything you’ve thrived through. Trauma is hard, and it feels like it never fully goes away, but years from now you will look back and realize it won’t feel the same. (In a good way). Stay strong, you’re doing so well.
I'm so glad you didn't cancel your trip, and so very happy nothing bad happened while you were in LA. I genuinely adored watching you and your mom enjoy your time there
I’m sorry that happened on Adam’s trip. I used to do mental health videos and ended up with some viewers who would cross boundaries and treat me like a therapist. I was always happy to share skills that helped me or explain how they could start the process of finding professional help or reaching out to a person in their lives. But being told about serious traumas and asked to help with that was a lot. I had my own things I was going through, too.
Every time I have watched a video regarding your story and the situation that you and many others have went through with Colleen I found myself getting very emotional and end up in tears. I'm also happy for you and proud that you chose your family and friends and spending the day with them and creating happy memories instead of going on H3s podcast. I'm sure that a lot of people were disappointed because they wanted to hear you speak on things, but then again those people have to realize that it's not everyday that you get to go and spend quality time with your family at Disney.. I think that you have handled this whole situation so maturely, and will continue to do so. You have so much support on your side Adam, I hope that you continue to heal ❤️
So crazy how during covid 2020 I started watching you thinking "oh I know that accent, my boyfriend is from northern Ireland that's so cool what a nice little channel", and now here we are. so much has happened. I'm really so proud of you for your strength in all this and your bravery. I can only imagine how overwhelming and insane this has been to go through so publicly. You've inspired so many people to find their own healing. I hope only the best for you. Thank you for giving us so many laughs and being such a joy to watch and such a beacon of positivity and kindness. 💞
Twitch streams are gonna be absolutely chaotic from now, I'll be tuning in edit: you're such a thoughtful person considering the feelings of others sharing stories with you, and I can tell you brought healing to those people no matter how much you said. Just understanding is massive.
You’re amazing, you didn’t let Colleen silence you and I’m glad now this awful woman is finally getting recognition for the disgustingness that she is after so long of making you guys suffer, im proud of you all ❤️
American Mucker here….I love you, I’m happy you exist, I’m proud of you for speaking out, I’m sorry you haven’t gotten an apology and had to go through this experience 😞💜 Also your words and the conversation you’ve helped inspire online about grooming has (for the first time) made me accept that certain things from my past were not my fault. I truly appreciate you so much ❤
I'm 31 years old and when I watch Adam's videos I just think he's such a precious baby that needs to be protected at all costs. I can't believe anyone could look at him and do what Colleen did. It's truly disgusting how people are so hungry to destroy the innocence of people
When someone pours their heart out to you.... all you need to do is what you did, listen. You can always just say, "I'm so sorry you went through that..." something like that! That's beautiful. You had that moment w them! I'm sure they will hold that moment near and dear to their heart!
I’m so glad you were safe in your trip! I was nervous seeing all the people threaten you online I couldn’t imagine being the one receiving them. Good thing all your interactions weren’t with the Chronically online people!
Out of everyone you deserve the biggest vacation of all time, so happy to hear that you and your mum had a great time, hopefully the future holds nothing but blessings and happiness for you and your family Adam x 💗
hi adam!! i just wanted to say you make me so SO proud for being such a strong person, genuinely. you handle your trauma, harrassment, and drama so unbelievably well its INSANE. you're such a sweet soul you never deserved any of this, despite that you power through and that's SO admirable. go gay boy! so many people accept and support you through ALL of this, including me hehe. your impact is so valuable, and it's totally valid to not be able to process other people's stories, you deserve some space to process your own story too!!! you really remind me of the uh good older brother i've never had, watching your videos and listening to your story makes me just comfortable and happy knowing i can relate with someones story, but sad because you never deserved such a sad one. i love you adam, wish i could give you a warm hug so BAD!!!
Honey I'm 26 and you've helped me with processing the grooming I went through as a teenager. It's messed up that so many of us have experienced things like this but you show the world that you're still here. You survived, you're moving forward. Yeah you're having to talk about a lot of stuff and that can't be easy for you. You are a strong individual and I'm sending you lots of love 🤗❤
So Glad you got to spend your one and one time with your Mom and enjoyed your time at Disney, and stood your ground against the online bulling again. I always believed you and what you was saying about Colleen 3yrs ago, now karma is going to take care of the rest.💙
It’s ok that you didn’t know how to respond! Especially to something so deep from strangers, for anyone who doesn’t know what to say respond with “thank you for trusting me enough with that information, I’m sorry you went through that”
Sometimes the best gift you can offer a person who is opening up to you and being vulnerable is exactly what you did. To make them feel validated by listening to their stories can be incredibly helpful and impactful so know you made a difference.
That’s sweet that you spoke to people that were sharing personal stories with you and connecting with your story- but Adam please you shouldn’t have to deal with any trauma dumping from people. Sending you support
I can only imagine the amount of anxiety and terror those pos f***heads put you through by doxing your hotel and making their blanket threats. It honestly surprises me that some people can be this unhinged. I'm so glad you, your mom, and your friends are safe and the people who did approach you were good, well meaning people.
it was so nice of you to hear everyone out but don’t feel bad if you didn’t respond “perfectly”…… you’re going through so much and people trauma dumping while you’re still processing is NOT easy.
Hi Adam! New follower here! I'm so so so proud of how strong you are and how you've been able to speak up and share your story for other people to pay attention to it and the issues that surround your story. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well
@phlegmony hi! thanks for noticing my comment and giving Adam's page the attention it deserves! :) Whatever adam idenfiies as or with, it's none of your buisness. Adam is telling his stories and helping, inspiring, or protecting his followers and their families. Strong people do that, weak ones insult people behind a screen.
Adam. I truly feel that you are one of the strongest people in this world. Chalk it up to “disillusion”but i feel you don’t give yourself enough credit. You really are an advocate for other victims/survivors. I think that you have youth on your side. And the people that are still fans of “her”will see it in time .
Adam, you don’t have to give advice. You, just being you, clearly made those folks feel like they had a safe space to share. That is a testament to your kindness and spirit. I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do in your life. ❤
This has very clearly brought up a lot and Adam’s story does resonate with a lot of victims but like people do have to be careful with trauma dumping and the parasocial relationship like he is only 20 and there’s only so much he can take Take care of your mental health in this time ❤
Thank you Adam for sharing your experience with us. I know it’s hard for you and sweet your sweet mom. I mostly want to say thank you for LISTENING, that’s truly what most victims of SA want from anyone. It’s just to have someone lend an ear of sympathy and support. I am sure you did exactly that. Hugs sweetheart ❤Felsieak
We trust you beyond the 'he said, she said' TH-cam stuff. We trust your character, that's why people feel comfortable sharing their own difficult time. You don't have to respond with the perfect phrase, because they already know you'll fully understand how they felt. That's all they really want & that's what you do! ❤
I like how u upload long informative videos, ur actually smart so whenever i have tasks to do its so fun to watch ur hour long videos cuz theyre ACTUALLY informativeee (Even this is long compared to 8min vids)
You made it home safe and sound! With lovely memories!!!! Good for you Adam to go, live your life and, have fun!!! Its the beggining of a new chapter on your memoirs!!
You deserve the best, I feel so happy for you and I'm happy you had a great time at Disney and LA. Even during the tough times I'm sure you will pull through and we will be rooting for you!!
I’m glad you had a good time! I’m super impressed with how gracious you are about the people who are bullying you online :(. It breaks my heart knowing that many of them are probably children who are going to look back at this time and regret how they acted. Your poise and eloquence in every appearance you have made around this situation is truly inspirational.
I'm in a position where people will open up about very difficult things (for completely different reasons, work stuff) so I want to give a bit of... Encouragement, if not advice. You come across as a very sweet empathetic guy, Im sure that whatever you said was absolutely fine. It might feel like they are expecting some particular response or just feel sort of uneasy because it's an unusual social dynamic, but they really aren't expecting anything or judging your response. You already did the thing by being open with your own story and making them feel safe to talk about theirs. They're reciprocating and showing gratitude-all you need to do is listen, you can thank them for sharing, tell them you're sorry it happened to them (if that makes sense in context), all the stuff you already knew to do :) Don't worry too much about how its perceived, it really sounds like you did good.
Goodness. I'm sorry to hear so many people were trauma dumping you. At the same time, the fact that you were inspiring people to be open, the fact that these strangers felt *seen* when so often they don't.. that's a powerful connection. I hope that hearing those people did at least help you to feel more validated in your own experiences. You really do seem to be such a genuine and wonderful person, and it makes it that much more disgusting what happened to you. Please tell your mother she raised a good son and from mother to mother, thank you for allowing your son the space to interact with these people but also being the strength behind him during this absolute mess. I might have full on cancelled my internet and banned my children from it if some crazy 30 year old was using teenagers to bully them. And I empathize with her pain as a mother ❤
sounds like they were trauma dumping and that’s not okay. what they did was wrong for pushing boundaries. you’re not a therapist, you’re not a martyr, you’re not a god, you’re human just like everyone else. it’s kinda scary that these ppl didn’t see you as a stranger even tho they don’t know you or you know them. if they trusted you that much to spill everything, they definitely need help because that kind of behavior can be dangerous and harmful. you’re such a kind soul for being so open and understanding and i hope ppl don’t take advantage of that. protect your energy!!
Adam, you are a very approachable person and many people want to let you know you’re not alone and that they can relate to you. But to approach you and trauma dump on you is a huge overstepping of boundaries. Adam, you’re going through so much trauma yourself that you have to process. Processing other peoples trauma on top of that is so stressful. I know you want to validate others, but you also have to take care of yourself. I am wishing you so much happiness and love and healing. ❤
Sweet boy, make sure you are taking care of you through all of this. Listening to everyone's stories may be taxing to your mental health. Be sure to take time for you to decompress and process. If you aren't seeing a therapist for guidance on how to process this without triggering your own trauma, it be a wise move. None of this was your fault. And I'm so glad you had a nice trip with your mom.
❤ I have been watching you for so long. Like literally watched you grow up and just transform! I am so proud to watch you continue to grow sir. Please know that this, is just a learning step and you handled it! You are going to be amazing Adam! I can sense it through this screen!
Glad you had a lovely trip Adam and I'm sure those who opened up to you in person felt heard and appreciated. There isn't a right thing to say and no advice can change the reality of what happened, listening with love is often all that's required 🧡 Hope Disney was fun in spite of the H3 subreddit 😆
Mamas are #1 priority! We never know how much time we will have with them. Idc what is going on, I will drop EVERYTHING to spend time with my Mama! I am nearly 34 but shes still my best friend. Im glad you got to spend time with your mama and enjoy yourselves! Protect her with everything you have!!
so glad to hear you had an amazing trip.. you SO deserve that babe. :) just wanna say ive been watching your channel to decompress while having a bad week before my birthday and its been the perrrrrfect medicine. keep doing what you do adam.. you seriously rock ❤❤
It can be great for people to have someone to relate to and to be able to feel safe in a space such as this to be able to share. But at the end of the day, you are not a licensed therapist. So it’s okay to just not know what to do or say other than I see you, I hear you, and I’m so happy you were able to get out of that situation. You are still very publicly going through your trauma, so it’s okay to be like I just need space to disconnect and be with my mom.
Hi Adam, as a mum of 2 boys a bit older than you, I felt protective of you and all the youngsters who have been harmed by Colleen Ballinger. I'm not following much drama channels, and I just happend to see your 1st video, and kept following. You should be proud of yourself, and always stay safe 💙🇬🇷
Please understand that colleen had already admitted and learnt from her mistakes, Adam is conning people like you to paint himself as the victim. Colleen doesn't deserve a witch hunt on her, she deserved to live her life
@@phlegmonyif she deserves to live her life, and doesn’t like being witch hunted herself, she would take accountability, stop switching the narrative to make it look like SHE is the victim, and actually apologise for the things SHE has done. Adam is stating the stuff HE has gone through with the facts, which a lot of others have backed up. It’s silly at this point you are sticking up for someone who still hasn’t owned up to what she’s done 💀
@@phlegmonyALSO she literally didn’t stop her fans from witch hunting and threatening Adam, and got many people upon her audience to attack Adam in the past. She deserves this
I never comment on videos but,,,, love, I am so glad you got to take a vacation n put yourself in a new environment during this time. You deserve to be able to enjoy yourself, time with loved ones, new fun, positive and uplifting experiences/places, and to overall just being happy. You rly have a heart of gold n such a pure soul. You deserve to enjoy life again, to have fun being alive, and not letting the low lives dim your glow! You deserve nothing but positivity, love and healing and I wish you get nothing less than that. Allow yourself to heal in whatever ways you have to as long as you're taking care of yourself. You are so beautiful inside and out! You got this angel! Much love for ya.
I'm happy that the trip went well for you! Im sorry you had to deal with getting all of that harassment. I hope you are able to feel less anxious as time goes on❤❤❤
Your whole channel has helped me ignore what is actually going on in my life, and watching your videos i have found certain people who act like certain people in my life. So thank you for sharing you experience ❤❤❤❤❤
Good to see you home safe and sound, and you had some lovely time with your Mom and your mates, and very pleased you didn't cancel your LA adventures. Stay strong hun x
Once my dad passed away, I think people expected me to know how to help them grieve when they went through something similar and it’s not that easy even if you can relate
Its awesome that you went ahead! I almost deprived myself of a concert I had been anticipating for months, trying to sell my tickets same day and everything. Not the same as your experience of course, bit I am so glad I went ahead and did the concert and its awesome you got to enjoy your time with your mum and I am so happy for you! Thank you for being so strong and taking control of your trip from those who'd want to take it from you! Awesome Babs!
going thru some shitty stuff myself, but not on such a scale as you are. watching your videos is helping me greatly this summer to not feel so alone. even just hearing a voice is so comforting. welcome back from the trip, and wishing you so much good things for your future
I was put in a position where I'd be dealing with a lot of grieving people. I was so grateful that I had a full on, month long class to teach me how to deal with it. What to say, what NOT to say, when to intervene, how to hear boundaries, etc. That training stuck with me for life. It's helped me through so many situations where I'd otherwise be lost. Decades later it helped me when I had to cope with my own grief. I was able to set healthy boundaries for myself, how to forgive well-meaning people who said the dumbest shit. I could see right away that they were desperately trying to help, but were just so lost. I immediately forgave each of them (with one exception, smh) and held no grudges. As I've worked my way through life, I now believe that EVERY high school kid should have a brief class in how to deal with grief and how to properly respond to people in pain. This isn't natural to anyone and we all want to do well. It's not fair to send young adults out into the world without preparing them for a very real fact of life. NOBODY should feel bad for not knowing how to handle these situations. NOBODY knows how to do it unless they've been taught. If anyone finds an opportunity to take a short class like that, DO IT. You'll never regret it.
Parasocial relationships are horrifying, but you have helped so many people in so many different ways you can’t even imagine by just being open about what happened to you. You don’t have to know what to say to be there for somebody by just being you and sharing your experience.
i'm so glad you got to have fun in LA! after everything you've been through you deserved a vacation and i'm happy you got a chance to take your mind off the situation.
Hey guys please remember to try and not trauma dump. I'm very glad that he inspired you to tell your story, and I love how graceful he talks about this experience, but imagine how awkward it is for him to hear you open up about your trauma. The sad truth is that he isn't your friend, he is someone online that you look up to. I'm glad many of you feel inspired enough to share your story with him but others may not respond as gracefully to trauma dumping as he is ❤ please please don't use your idols/friends/ etc as therapists. I could be wrong but sometimes it sounds like he wants to express that the trauma dumping made him super uncomfortable but doesn't want to upset anyone since they trusted him with that info.
you don't have to have advice or anything to say love, just listening and being a kindred spirit is enough. You especially didn't have to talk or listen with everything going on threat wise so you did an amazing job. I'm happy you were looking out for mum too, that woman is precious and needs to be protected so much < 3
I am so happy you made the trip home safely! I bet your babies missed you like crazy, but everyone needs to log off and enjoy life! You have a Michigan girl here that loves you and your content!❤
Adam, you are amazing! California is an amazing place, I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I'm looking forward to more episodes of 'Am I the A Hole?' They are hilarious.
Who thinks it’s appropriate to dump their trauma on a person who is just trying to enjoy their universal trip? Adam is not an all knowing therapist, let him enjoy his universal trip.
Greetings from a subscriber in Finland 🇫🇮❤️ sending you all love and support, as well as every victim of Colleen Ballinger. You’re all strong and brave for coming out with this info ❤
one thing i will say adam is that even is people are trusting you with their stories, you don’t have to hold all of them and carry them around. it was so kind of you to listen and truly that’s all you can do. try to not hold all of these harsh realities in your heart you are going through enough.
Yayyy Adam I watched ur whole stream tonight it was so great to watch after your much needed break. so glad you could take some time away from the massive shit storm that is the internet right now. Glad u and ur mom were safe, so sorry people are so vile, can’t imagine how scary that was. Take care of yourself mama

Adam sweetheart even as an almost 30 yr old woman you've helped me process my grooming around 16 yrs ago just from sharing your story and processing it publicly ❤️ I'm sending you the most light and love 💖
He did same for me at 28
That's probably because your brain isn't fully developed until mid 20s. So it isn't until about 30 before people really become adults. But of course it doesn't feel so much like that when you're 28. ✌️❤️
Much love and continued healing for all of you! I'm so sorry that you have anything that you had to process and work through, but hope nothing but the best for all of you and that you have the support that you deserve!!!!
I'm 30 and feel OLD af
Same for me at 25
Can tell those puppers are glad you are home! So so so glad you didn't end up cancelling your trip. At 21 you should be living your life to the fullest and LA looked so good on you. You've handled so much, with so much grace and intelligence. Onwards and upwards for you, you're an amazing human Adam.
Totally agree with You 100 %
Hey Adam...I saw you but was too nervous to bring up anything since you were on vacation and I didn't know if bringing up anything would put salt on the wound. But Adam, you have helped me so much...helped me with recognizing that my relationship with my family friend was indeed grooming and inappropriate. Helped me with getting out of the toxic "friendship" and also helped with bringing up my confidence. I love you Adam...I hope you see this. You deserve to feel all the love.
Props to you for recognizing this wasn't the best time and giving him that space
@@_gremlinboy ya. :) seeing him from afar got me happy teary eyed ...so it was still awesome and I didn't have to talk to him
i'm so glad you've realized this and have helped yourself and that this channel helped.. i know it's random, but i am really happy you did this for yourself and it gives me hope and helps me feel more confident in helping myself with my own situations that are similar ! i am extremely happy for you and proud of you .
@@prolificlightdamage oh my god. I appreciate you so much and love you. Never ever stay for someone so vile. You are gorgeous in your own way ❤ you know your worth. Get rid of those people. 💜🧡💛❤💚🖤💜🤎
Sending virtual hugs to all of you ❤
With peace and love to those people, you arent these peoples counselor or therapist. While i genuinely feel for them and what theyve been through, it isnt fair to come up to someone on a vacation and essentially trauma dump on them. It actually makes me really sad for you that this happened so much.
None of that is your baggage to carry. You have spoken up and given others the courage to do the same, which is amazing. With that said, people going up to someone they dont know and forcing their baggage on you is not okay.
To say they relate is one thing. To dump horrific details and stories on you is another.
It just makes me so, so sad. You are dealing with enough. And i wish people would respect that and not pile more on you.
Yes, these are my thoughts exactly!
This is a big part of why I left the internet over 10 years ago. I couldn’t get away from ‘fans’ who wouldn’t listen when I tried to put up boundaries. I hope Adam is able to set up some more boundaries but we also all need to stand behind them when they do say ‘please don’t do this.’
Agreed, he had plenty of trauma dumping already. I'm glad people are talking, but I hope they're reaching out to professionals. It's too much to put on a person who's already dealing with a lot.
Exactly, didn't Colleen trauma dump him? Why do it more??? 😭
@@sofia-jf8xmmy thoughts exactly 😕 I wish that hadn't happened to him while he was trying to enjoy a vacation.
As an old lady, same age as the horrible person, you are everything I would hope my kids grow up to be as awesome, kind and level headed. I am a youth worker and paid to spend time with kids, I’m not their friend I am their protector, I am so disgusted an adult would hurt a person, let alone a child.
This comment just helped me clarify something within myself, thanks :)
That’s not that old
Girl, you are not old lol
30s is not old, my parents still say that's young haha
Not old just got a fully developed brain
My thoughts are with you during this tough time, treat yourself to something nice. I love seeing your animals interrupt you in your videos to give you some love, so cute 😍
I'm a therapist. All you need to do as a human is listen and validate where you can when people are sharing. Your presence is enough ❤ Most people just want to know someone heard them 🙂
Can you please be my therapist 🙃
This is probably the best advice
Yes! Finding someone who will witness you without giving advice or trying to fix you is so valuable!
One of my favorite sayings for supporting people through trauma: "Don't just do something, stand there."
Currently scouting a new therapist, hope they’re like you!
And anyway it's not his responsibility if they feel hurt because he didn't answer the right way, they themselves chose to tell, he didn't ask for them to tell and doesn't sound like these people where friends him but rather strangers.
I am 40 years old and watching. I hope that you aren't creeped out by that. I am watching both because I am curious about everything and shocked about how some grown-ups use their authority in a horrible way, but also because my oldest daughter is 11 years old and I am watching to see what to look out for to try my best to protect her in this world of social media that obviously wasn't a thing when I grew up. Thank you for using your platform to kind of educate us in the beauty and dangers of it. Oh and from Denmark 😃
As a kid of the internet pls don't let them go on unsupervised a lot of these websites have inappropriate content on them & as a person now with a developed brain consuming that kind of entertainment with an underdeveloped brain did a lot of damage to me & I am still dealing with the damages of hypersexuality & a poor body image those are like some of the biggest challenges that they would face while being on the internet I hope you guys day safe & happy & wish you the best in protecting your children ❤❤
yes i agree with the reply to this, I would certainly look into the parental controls for phones and other devices. There are a lot of different ways you can utilize it to keep your children safe and monitor the apps they download etc. :)
@caniborrow5031 good points. My daughter can't download apps, there's codes, I have to approve. I also check up on what she looks at and find interesting. So far all is harmless.
@@hannahbarbarian6786I'm a 26 y old mom, would you care to share what websites or media that affected you the most? I'm trying to be the most prepared I can for my daughter before she's old enough to browse online herself. I'm very sorry that not all parents recognize the harms of the Internet!
watch out for kik and omegle. those are solely used by groomers and creeps so if your child has those apps downloaded, it's time for a conversation. i would maybe monitor instagram dms because predators will sometimes contact children and manipulate them into sending nude or compromising images. if you find anything inappropriate on your child's phone, please show compassion when confronting your child about it. i remember when my mom found that i was talking with predators online, she was sooo angry. i was yelled at, punished, and she was hostile towards me for weeks. because of this, i didn't really understand the dangers in what i was doing. i just knew it wasn't allowed. so i retreated further into the internet and it brought me closer to the grown men i was "talking" with. just make it clear that you're acting out of care. it's not a moral failure on her part. these individuals are good at what they do.
I think one of the hardest parts of trauma is knowing how it feels and wanting to be there for people you relate to and wanting to help them but you simply can’t because of that trauma. It can be triggering even if you think it’s not and you think you’re doing okay listening to someone else talk about similar experiences. It’s difficult but you’ve got to put yourself first so that you can heal, everything you’re already doing is enough. Sending love.
I agree. Trauma is awful. Period. And when you’re an empathetic person, you want to help people to not hurt. But sometimes the best way to do that is to make sure that your cup is full, even if that means that you can’t listen to everyone. Sometimes you just can’t because it would be too much for you and your healing.
Exactly! Sometimes you just have to step away for a bit. But having folks share actually helps both of you. Having the sense to listen and give a bit of help is powerful.
So glad you had fun in Disney! Even though you may not have known what to say, you listened. That means so much and I think that's all a lot of us want! You're doing great!❤
So proud of you for everything you’ve thrived through. Trauma is hard, and it feels like it never fully goes away, but years from now you will look back and realize it won’t feel the same. (In a good way). Stay strong, you’re doing so well.
I'm so glad you didn't cancel your trip, and so very happy nothing bad happened while you were in LA. I genuinely adored watching you and your mom enjoy your time there
I’m sorry that happened on Adam’s trip. I used to do mental health videos and ended up with some viewers who would cross boundaries and treat me like a therapist. I was always happy to share skills that helped me or explain how they could start the process of finding professional help or reaching out to a person in their lives. But being told about serious traumas and asked to help with that was a lot. I had my own things I was going through, too.
Every time I have watched a video regarding your story and the situation that you and many others have went through with Colleen I found myself getting very emotional and end up in tears.
I'm also happy for you and proud that you chose your family and friends and spending the day with them and creating happy memories instead of going on H3s podcast. I'm sure that a lot of people were disappointed because they wanted to hear you speak on things, but then again those people have to realize that it's not everyday that you get to go and spend quality time with your family at Disney..
I think that you have handled this whole situation so maturely, and will continue to do so. You have so much support on your side Adam, I hope that you continue to heal ❤️
You can tell how much Adam loves his mom ♥
So crazy how during covid 2020 I started watching you thinking "oh I know that accent, my boyfriend is from northern Ireland that's so cool what a nice little channel", and now here we are. so much has happened. I'm really so proud of you for your strength in all this and your bravery. I can only imagine how overwhelming and insane this has been to go through so publicly. You've inspired so many people to find their own healing. I hope only the best for you. Thank you for giving us so many laughs and being such a joy to watch and such a beacon of positivity and kindness. 💞
I’m so glad you got to enjoy your trip!! Thank you for speaking out and staying strong. We love you 🫶❤️
Twitch streams are gonna be absolutely chaotic from now, I'll be tuning in
edit: you're such a thoughtful person considering the feelings of others sharing stories with you, and I can tell you brought healing to those people no matter how much you said. Just understanding is massive.
You’re amazing, you didn’t let Colleen silence you and I’m glad now this awful woman is finally getting recognition for the disgustingness that she is after so long of making you guys suffer, im proud of you all ❤️
American Mucker here….I love you, I’m happy you exist, I’m proud of you for speaking out, I’m sorry you haven’t gotten an apology and had to go through this experience 😞💜 Also your words and the conversation you’ve helped inspire online about grooming has (for the first time) made me accept that certain things from my past were not my fault. I truly appreciate you so much ❤
I'm 31 years old and when I watch Adam's videos I just think he's such a precious baby that needs to be protected at all costs. I can't believe anyone could look at him and do what Colleen did. It's truly disgusting how people are so hungry to destroy the innocence of people
Not a baby-young man. I’m 60, and don’t think of him as a baby, lol. I hope you just picked the wrong word.
Colleen owned up to her mistakes and she's changed, get over it.
Let's not call him a baby, they're a young adult now, we should not infantilize him during this situation.
i understand your sympathy, but you gotta catch yourself when you’re calling a stranger a “baby” or other words.
@@phlegmony Where did she own up to it? She literally didn't, lol.
When someone pours their heart out to you.... all you need to do is what you did, listen. You can always just say, "I'm so sorry you went through that..." something like that! That's beautiful. You had that moment w them! I'm sure they will hold that moment near and dear to their heart!
I’m so glad you were safe in your trip! I was nervous seeing all the people threaten you online I couldn’t imagine being the one receiving them. Good thing all your interactions weren’t with the Chronically online people!
Out of everyone you deserve the biggest vacation of all time, so happy to hear that you and your mum had a great time, hopefully the future holds nothing but blessings and happiness for you and your family Adam x 💗
super proud of you adam!!! hope you had fun at disney and hope you're doing well
So proud of you Adam and really happy you went to LA to enjoy yourself.
hi adam!! i just wanted to say you make me so SO proud for being such a strong person, genuinely. you handle your trauma, harrassment, and drama so unbelievably well its INSANE. you're such a sweet soul you never deserved any of this, despite that you power through and that's SO admirable. go gay boy! so many people accept and support you through ALL of this, including me hehe. your impact is so valuable, and it's totally valid to not be able to process other people's stories, you deserve some space to process your own story too!!! you really remind me of the uh good older brother i've never had, watching your videos and listening to your story makes me just comfortable and happy knowing i can relate with someones story, but sad because you never deserved such a sad one. i love you adam, wish i could give you a warm hug so BAD!!!
Honey I'm 26 and you've helped me with processing the grooming I went through as a teenager.
It's messed up that so many of us have experienced things like this but you show the world that you're still here. You survived, you're moving forward. Yeah you're having to talk about a lot of stuff and that can't be easy for you.
You are a strong individual and I'm sending you lots of love 🤗❤
So Glad you got to spend your one and one time with your Mom and enjoyed your time at Disney, and stood your ground against the online bulling again. I always believed you and what you was saying about Colleen 3yrs ago, now karma is going to take care of the rest.💙
It’s ok that you didn’t know how to respond! Especially to something so deep from strangers, for anyone who doesn’t know what to say respond with “thank you for trusting me enough with that information, I’m sorry you went through that”
Sometimes the best gift you can offer a person who is opening up to you and being vulnerable is exactly what you did. To make them feel validated by listening to their stories can be incredibly helpful and impactful so know you made a difference.
That’s sweet that you spoke to people that were sharing personal stories with you and connecting with your story- but Adam please you shouldn’t have to deal with any trauma dumping from people. Sending you support
I can only imagine the amount of anxiety and terror those pos f***heads put you through by doxing your hotel and making their blanket threats.
It honestly surprises me that some people can be this unhinged. I'm so glad you, your mom, and your friends are safe and the people who did approach you were good, well meaning people.
it was so nice of you to hear everyone out but don’t feel bad if you didn’t respond “perfectly”…… you’re going through so much and people trauma dumping while you’re still processing is NOT easy.
Hi Adam! New follower here! I'm so so so proud of how strong you are and how you've been able to speak up and share your story for other people to pay attention to it and the issues that surround your story. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well
He isn't strong lol he thinks hes a woman
@phlegmony hi! thanks for noticing my comment and giving Adam's page the attention it deserves! :) Whatever adam idenfiies as or with, it's none of your buisness. Adam is telling his stories and helping, inspiring, or protecting his followers and their families. Strong people do that, weak ones insult people behind a screen.
@@phlegmonyBully behind the screen. 😬
Adam. I truly feel that you are one of the strongest people in this world. Chalk it up to “disillusion”but i feel you don’t give yourself enough credit. You really are an advocate for other victims/survivors. I think that you have youth on your side. And the people that are still fans of “her”will see it in time .
hes not a victim lol
do you hear yourself
@@phlegmonygirl be quiet. Thank you
ur mom raised such an amazing person ♥️ lots of love to both of you
Adam, you don’t have to give advice. You, just being you, clearly made those folks feel like they had a safe space to share. That is a testament to your kindness and spirit. I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do in your life. ❤
This has very clearly brought up a lot and Adam’s story does resonate with a lot of victims but like people do have to be careful with trauma dumping and the parasocial relationship like he is only 20 and there’s only so much he can take
Take care of your mental health in this time ❤
Thank you Adam for sharing your experience with us. I know it’s hard for you and sweet your sweet mom. I mostly want to say thank you for LISTENING, that’s truly what most victims of SA want from anyone. It’s just to have someone lend an ear of sympathy and support. I am sure you did exactly that. Hugs sweetheart ❤Felsieak
We trust you beyond the 'he said, she said' TH-cam stuff. We trust your character, that's why people feel comfortable sharing their own difficult time. You don't have to respond with the perfect phrase, because they already know you'll fully understand how they felt. That's all they really want & that's what you do! ❤
Bonnie knows she’s on camera...she’s doing the most ADORABLE 😍 poses! 🐶
I like how u upload long informative videos, ur actually smart so whenever i have tasks to do its so fun to watch ur hour long videos cuz theyre ACTUALLY informativeee
(Even this is long compared to 8min vids)
I love hearing little updates from you, And I’m glad you had a good trip with your mom and friends💗
You made it home safe and sound! With lovely memories!!!! Good for you Adam to go, live your life and, have fun!!! Its the beggining of a new chapter on your memoirs!!
You deserve the best, I feel so happy for you and I'm happy you had a great time at Disney and LA. Even during the tough times I'm sure you will pull through and we will be rooting for you!!
I’m glad you had a good time! I’m super impressed with how gracious you are about the people who are bullying you online :(. It breaks my heart knowing that many of them are probably children who are going to look back at this time and regret how they acted. Your poise and eloquence in every appearance you have made around this situation is truly inspirational.
I'm in a position where people will open up about very difficult things (for completely different reasons, work stuff) so I want to give a bit of... Encouragement, if not advice. You come across as a very sweet empathetic guy, Im sure that whatever you said was absolutely fine. It might feel like they are expecting some particular response or just feel sort of uneasy because it's an unusual social dynamic, but they really aren't expecting anything or judging your response. You already did the thing by being open with your own story and making them feel safe to talk about theirs. They're reciprocating and showing gratitude-all you need to do is listen, you can thank them for sharing, tell them you're sorry it happened to them (if that makes sense in context), all the stuff you already knew to do :)
Don't worry too much about how its perceived, it really sounds like you did good.
Goodness. I'm sorry to hear so many people were trauma dumping you. At the same time, the fact that you were inspiring people to be open, the fact that these strangers felt *seen* when so often they don't.. that's a powerful connection.
I hope that hearing those people did at least help you to feel more validated in your own experiences. You really do seem to be such a genuine and wonderful person, and it makes it that much more disgusting what happened to you. Please tell your mother she raised a good son and from mother to mother, thank you for allowing your son the space to interact with these people but also being the strength behind him during this absolute mess. I might have full on cancelled my internet and banned my children from it if some crazy 30 year old was using teenagers to bully them. And I empathize with her pain as a mother ❤
sounds like they were trauma dumping and that’s not okay. what they did was wrong for pushing boundaries. you’re not a therapist, you’re not a martyr, you’re not a god, you’re human just like everyone else. it’s kinda scary that these ppl didn’t see you as a stranger even tho they don’t know you or you know them. if they trusted you that much to spill everything, they definitely need help because that kind of behavior can be dangerous and harmful. you’re such a kind soul for being so open and understanding and i hope ppl don’t take advantage of that. protect your energy!!
Adam, you are a very approachable person and many people want to let you know you’re not alone and that they can relate to you. But to approach you and trauma dump on you is a huge overstepping of boundaries. Adam, you’re going through so much trauma yourself that you have to process. Processing other peoples trauma on top of that is so stressful. I know you want to validate others, but you also have to take care of yourself. I am wishing you so much happiness and love and healing. ❤
yep. I was gonna say the same thing.
Sweet boy, make sure you are taking care of you through all of this. Listening to everyone's stories may be taxing to your mental health. Be sure to take time for you to decompress and process. If you aren't seeing a therapist for guidance on how to process this without triggering your own trauma, it be a wise move.
None of this was your fault. And I'm so glad you had a nice trip with your mom.
❤ I have been watching you for so long. Like literally watched you grow up and just transform! I am so proud to watch you continue to grow sir. Please know that this, is just a learning step and you handled it! You are going to be amazing Adam! I can sense it through this screen!
British Airways has never sold me a single trip without errors. It's actually wild.
You’ve literally been my favorite TH-camr for awhile now I LOVE YOU!!!! 💞💞💞
Proud of you Adammm! I am so glad that you were happy and enjoying yourself in LA.
Glad you had a lovely trip Adam and I'm sure those who opened up to you in person felt heard and appreciated. There isn't a right thing to say and no advice can change the reality of what happened, listening with love is often all that's required 🧡 Hope Disney was fun in spite of the H3 subreddit 😆
Mamas are #1 priority! We never know how much time we will have with them. Idc what is going on, I will drop EVERYTHING to spend time with my Mama! I am nearly 34 but shes still my best friend. Im glad you got to spend time with your mama and enjoy yourselves! Protect her with everything you have!!
Sometimes all people want is to feel as though they have been heard ❤
so glad to hear you had an amazing trip.. you SO deserve that babe. :) just wanna say ive been watching your channel to decompress while having a bad week before my birthday and its been the perrrrrfect medicine. keep doing what you do adam.. you seriously rock ❤❤
It can be great for people to have someone to relate to and to be able to feel safe in a space such as this to be able to share. But at the end of the day, you are not a licensed therapist. So it’s okay to just not know what to do or say other than I see you, I hear you, and I’m so happy you were able to get out of that situation. You are still very publicly going through your trauma, so it’s okay to be like I just need space to disconnect and be with my mom.
You don’t have to give them advice. You aren’t a therapist and sometimes people just need someone to listen to them. It’s okay Adam!😊
100 percent agree, after what he has been put through he doesn’t owe anybody anything !!
Hi Adam, as a mum of 2 boys a bit older than you, I felt protective of you and all the youngsters who have been harmed by Colleen Ballinger. I'm not following much drama channels, and I just happend to see your 1st video, and kept following. You should be proud of yourself, and always stay safe 💙🇬🇷
Please understand that colleen had already admitted and learnt from her mistakes, Adam is conning people like you to paint himself as the victim. Colleen doesn't deserve a witch hunt on her, she deserved to live her life
@@phlegmonyif she deserves to live her life, and doesn’t like being witch hunted herself, she would take accountability, stop switching the narrative to make it look like SHE is the victim, and actually apologise for the things SHE has done. Adam is stating the stuff HE has gone through with the facts, which a lot of others have backed up. It’s silly at this point you are sticking up for someone who still hasn’t owned up to what she’s done 💀
@@phlegmonyALSO she literally didn’t stop her fans from witch hunting and threatening Adam, and got many people upon her audience to attack Adam in the past. She deserves this
@@phlegmony Stop being wilfully ignorant. Shame on you!
I never comment on videos but,,,, love, I am so glad you got to take a vacation n put yourself in a new environment during this time. You deserve to be able to enjoy yourself, time with loved ones, new fun, positive and uplifting experiences/places, and to overall just being happy. You rly have a heart of gold n such a pure soul. You deserve to enjoy life again, to have fun being alive, and not letting the low lives dim your glow! You deserve nothing but positivity, love and healing and I wish you get nothing less than that. Allow yourself to heal in whatever ways you have to as long as you're taking care of yourself. You are so beautiful inside and out! You got this angel! Much love for ya.
So happy to see you back and home safe, I hope Disney was fun! You're so incredibly strong, love you 🫂💞
Good to see you're back, I hope that you still had fun on your trip!
strangers should not be disturbing you to trauma dump :(
People should learn boundaries.
so happy for you adam! everything you’ve been through and your handling of it is inspirational, hope you had an amazing trip as you deserved
I'm happy that the trip went well for you! Im sorry you had to deal with getting all of that harassment. I hope you are able to feel less anxious as time goes on❤❤❤
Love you Adam. Take care of yourself ❤ I’m envious of your earrings btw
Your whole channel has helped me ignore what is actually going on in my life, and watching your videos i have found certain people who act like certain people in my life. So thank you for sharing you experience ❤❤❤❤❤
I love you so much. I love you so much. You’re absolutely amazing and really brave ❤😭
Good to see you home safe and sound, and you had some lovely time with your Mom and your mates, and very pleased you didn't cancel your LA adventures.
Stay strong hun x
You are a safe space for alot of people. Those people randomly opening up to you feel safe around you because you are such a kind human being
Miss you babe!!! Glad you are officially back ❤ So many things happened during your Disneyland trip lol
Just listening helps you are a good person to take the time to even listen to their stories you are so sweet❤️
Stay safe and be strong Adam! Lots of loves from Belgium. ❤
Once my dad passed away, I think people expected me to know how to help them grieve when they went through something similar and it’s not that easy even if you can relate
Its awesome that you went ahead! I almost deprived myself of a concert I had been anticipating for months, trying to sell my tickets same day and everything. Not the same as your experience of course, bit I am so glad I went ahead and did the concert and its awesome you got to enjoy your time with your mum and I am so happy for you! Thank you for being so strong and taking control of your trip from those who'd want to take it from you! Awesome Babs!
going thru some shitty stuff myself, but not on such a scale as you are. watching your videos is helping me greatly this summer to not feel so alone. even just hearing a voice is so comforting. welcome back from the trip, and wishing you so much good things for your future
Missed you so much! Glad you managed to get away from all this even if it was during a busy time, lots of love
I was put in a position where I'd be dealing with a lot of grieving people. I was so grateful that I had a full on, month long class to teach me how to deal with it. What to say, what NOT to say, when to intervene, how to hear boundaries, etc.
That training stuck with me for life. It's helped me through so many situations where I'd otherwise be lost. Decades later it helped me when I had to cope with my own grief. I was able to set healthy boundaries for myself, how to forgive well-meaning people who said the dumbest shit. I could see right away that they were desperately trying to help, but were just so lost. I immediately forgave each of them (with one exception, smh) and held no grudges.
As I've worked my way through life, I now believe that EVERY high school kid should have a brief class in how to deal with grief and how to properly respond to people in pain. This isn't natural to anyone and we all want to do well. It's not fair to send young adults out into the world without preparing them for a very real fact of life.
NOBODY should feel bad for not knowing how to handle these situations. NOBODY knows how to do it unless they've been taught. If anyone finds an opportunity to take a short class like that, DO IT. You'll never regret it.
Parasocial relationships are horrifying, but you have helped so many people in so many different ways you can’t even imagine by just being open about what happened to you. You don’t have to know what to say to be there for somebody by just being you and sharing your experience.
i'm so glad you got to have fun in LA! after everything you've been through you deserved a vacation and i'm happy you got a chance to take your mind off the situation.
Hey guys please remember to try and not trauma dump. I'm very glad that he inspired you to tell your story, and I love how graceful he talks about this experience, but imagine how awkward it is for him to hear you open up about your trauma. The sad truth is that he isn't your friend, he is someone online that you look up to. I'm glad many of you feel inspired enough to share your story with him but others may not respond as gracefully to trauma dumping as he is ❤ please please don't use your idols/friends/ etc as therapists. I could be wrong but sometimes it sounds like he wants to express that the trauma dumping made him super uncomfortable but doesn't want to upset anyone since they trusted him with that info.
So so proud of you Adam we all love you so much 🤍
People are so brave behind a screen. In reality they will crumble like paper when confronted with their own BS.
ur literally glowing adam, nice to hear from you again. we love an update
you don't have to have advice or anything to say love, just listening and being a kindred spirit is enough. You especially didn't have to talk or listen with everything going on threat wise so you did an amazing job. I'm happy you were looking out for mum too, that woman is precious and needs to be protected so much < 3
So proud of you ❤ love seeing you thrive
I am so happy you made the trip home safely! I bet your babies missed you like crazy, but everyone needs to log off and enjoy life! You have a Michigan girl here that loves you and your content!❤
BABE WAKE TF UP ADAM POSTED A NEW VIDEO
Adam, you are amazing! California is an amazing place, I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I'm looking forward to more episodes of 'Am I the A Hole?' They are hilarious.
Who thinks it’s appropriate to dump their trauma on a person who is just trying to enjoy their universal trip? Adam is not an all knowing therapist, let him enjoy his universal trip.
Just listening can be enough Adam. Glad you had a good well deserved vacation!
Greetings from a subscriber in Finland 🇫🇮❤️ sending you all love and support, as well as every victim of Colleen Ballinger. You’re all strong and brave for coming out with this info ❤
As a Californian, I'm delighted that you had a wonderful time and had pleasant interactions. Wishing you well always.
one thing i will say adam is that even is people are trusting you with their stories, you don’t have to hold all of them and carry them around. it was so kind of you to listen and truly that’s all you can do. try to not hold all of these harsh realities in your heart you are going through enough.
I’m from Pennsylvania. I don’t know how I got here about a year ago but I’m happy I’m here.
Yayyy Adam I watched ur whole stream tonight it was so great to watch after your much needed break. so glad you could take some time away from the massive shit storm that is the internet right now. Glad u and ur mom were safe, so sorry people are so vile, can’t imagine how scary that was. Take care of yourself mama
