![แฉ [2/4] 12 ก.ค. 67 เจ้าของไวรัลดังในโซเชียล 'ลิลลี่ เหงียน' ฝันอยากเข้าวงการ โดนหลอกสารพัด | GMM25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7zntQK2U8-8/mqdefault.jpg)
Guilt is a powerful emotion. Years go by and I believe many parents stay away because the feel they don’t have the right to be in their childs life. They know they have let them down and don’t know how to fix it.
Made me cry for them, wanting happiness for all.
I'm just coming across this, this experiment is profound and those who participated are brave and courageous human beings. Wishint them all healing, wholeness, guidance and blessings.
My mother left for 35 years when we meet I was 37 years old we tried but she didnt know how to be a mother and I didnt know how to be her little girl we stayed friends untill she died 80 years old and I sometimes miss her or miss what we could have been
Aw..that sounds a sad story..a longing still within. Hope you are a mum & have a,good relationship with your child /children??
Women back forty to fifty years ago had all the power when it came to keeping their children. My children’s father was a good man who cared for his children and I took them from him. I realised ten to twenty years later how hurt he must have been. Thankfully he had a second family and I have always encouraged our two children to have a positive relationship with him. A long time ago I apologised and he was very kind and said he had forgiven me. I luckily have had a good life but always lurking is the hurt I caused a good man and two beautiful children.
Shame on you!
The kids are forever broken because of lying selfish irresponsible parents.
I did the same thing all because of his mother. But he was a good father to our kids. He's now a primary care of them because I'm in NZ now 😭😭😭😭
@@farrahfrench7690what a crappy thing to comment when the lady has already acknowledged her role and apologised for it. It takes a big person to admit their downfalls, and try and rectify it. I was a kid in the 80's and that's how it was. Dad's weren't encouraged to be dad's the way they are now. Shame on you for trying to shame someone who has already asked for forgiveness.
@@PumaPower17..not if parents can apologize & ask forgiveness! We make lots of mistakes..us all!
It's always important to recognise that not every long lost family situation is a happy ending.
Aww he missed him so much
So happy for them
Hurt people hurt people. The capacity to forgive heals and stops the cycle of hurting.
That is correct. And the crud that comes from generations before. Most people have someone in their lines... who feels they were cheated, or unloved in some way.
I just felt very emotional watching this.
Long ago, in the late 1970's I took part in a series of what was commonly labeled "personal growth" classes. One of the exercises we did was staring into the eyes of each person in our group. So glad to see this hasn't died and that it is being used in what I consider a more appropriate application. Congratulation on the success of this experiment.
Can't hear the conversation for the loudness of the music...consider that your viewers are trying to understand the accent too
I too, find that so annoying!😮
Reconciliation is so important, so is redemption if possible. It’s easy to rationalise about a situation or person or relationship but the emotions don’t fade and can tear you apart for years.
This show gave me butterflies. Tbat silence was deafening❤😊
This was a really great show. It is all about forgiveness and letting go of the past but of course both sides have to be willing to start over.
I'm glad father and son reconnected with love. It's sad that fears and ideas and worries keep people apart
Don’t you just find it funny when they wipe away tears which are non existent. . That man is so totally self centred . Cancelling a ticket , failing to come to the wedding .. that to me, screams he does not care an inch for his daughter but himself.!
A coward right? Doesn't think much of himself I guess... Too much embarrasement, guilt... not enough money maybe?
@@MariaRomero-cb6ty Looks like he might have had a life of jack the lad ! Some men do not have room for children in their lives ! They’d rather bring up other men’s children but theirs.
Oh boy This is So Very Sad : It Broken My Heart into A " Million Pieces "😢😢😢😢😢 Happy For The Reunion. Thankfully The Almighty Kept You And Him Alive to Meet Each Other.❤❤❤😊 True Live Never Dies .Big Man Thing .Lovely .This made Me Cry Like If i Was A Part of This .😢😢😢😢😢
Me too 😥😥😥
Every family has a story, whether good, bad or indifferent, there’s always a choice to which path to follow and that’s there choice ❤
I would say to anyone. Reconciling when you are still breathing before is too late. Never live to regrets.
40 yrs gone and wasted
People should criticise no one ,until they walk in their shoes in their lives.. you know nothing until you do..
Beautiful stories. Thanks.
I was crying my heart out, because my dad passed away about 10 years ago and I miss him so much!!!
When I was 10 years old I left him behind but at the age of 27 I stayed with him know I’m 57 years old he passed away after I visit him.
Oh my mascara! ❤love and connection of spirt is such a powerful thing!
The tears of joy
Old and on his own . He now only realises ???
They've separated or divorced.. and so with their children. Its painful, and I would say, why? why? As parent you have to kill me to separate me from my child, I swear! And no, time is not a healer, is you asking for an honest forgiveness and telling the truth. Its very hard to understand us, humans and choices so many times. I wish y'all the best!!
No one should judge any of these people. Until
they are in that situation themselves, they don't know how they would feel, only speculate.
No excuse.
I believe the feeling is of accountability, not judgement. Huge difference. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Music too loud 😢
"You are lucky you get my bed!!" That's more than you have ever given my mother, young guy must have thought to himself.
Luckily it wasnt the daughter walking down the stairs with her highheels. Her dad let her down on n off. I wouldnt want to reconcile.
These Things Are Too Emotional for me To Watch : I Am Tearing Up Here😢😢😢😢😢😢 Her Eyes Got Red Like Blood .The Dad Boy Wow😢😢😢 That Was Reeeaal intense
She looks just like her dad
In both of these cases we aren’t given a full picture of what happened between the father and mother! Toxic women have been around for ages. These men could have felt they had no choice but to move on or be destroyed by a vindictive wife! No one will ever know the full story. These folks need to heal and move forward. No one is perfect, people make decisions out of fear. I’ve no doubt these men were in fear of something, even if it was defeat! Don’t judge, this is TV. Nothing is as it seems.
And these men may also have been abusive to their wives.
@@cathymungall-baldwin7391 I agree. We can never know the entire story.
She is kind❤ very outspoken grand son❤
Why would you want to reconnect with someone who has let you down your whole life?
Nothing more natural in the world then for a child to want their parent
well said and I totally agree. Both my parents passed away. I’d give anything for one last hour. ❤
True there is a lot of pain there - but there is still love and hope. That is why she wants to try.
@@pebbles4715 me2!!❤
@@mariannehavisham8323 just nope!
I am very curious as to why Gerry cancelled her ticket back then and the reason why he couldn't attend her wedding.
Very moving reunion between Barry and Nigel.
Why connect with him he has let. You down all your life
She did it for her children.
This programme is so heartbreaking the wasted years the anguish of the alienated parent and the rejected child makes me weep for them… my son has been estranged from his daughter for nearly 2 years she is 10yrs old now .. he fought his ex through the courts to see her but it took too long, it’s too late her head has been turned from idolising her dad to hating him because of the lies she was fed. Watching this programme gives me a slight hope but he has given up fighting to see her because she said she doesn’t want to see him he is broken and is making plans to move away and start again my heart is broken….
He let her down badly
Jac's father is now going to fail Jac AND her children. She should never have allowed him into their lives until he showed up for more than a tv show.
I was thinking the same…hoping it works out this time though because she obviously wants him in her life. He doesn’t deserve it but she deserves to have what she wants.
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar we will pray for them all will be a wonderful reunion❤❤❤
@@DebsMcC69 because she is trapped in an abuse cycle and needs therapy. They don't need to work it out he needs to go away. For everyone's well-being.
So interesting to watch the son and father walk the same way. Genetics is a big thing😊
I hope you do a follow up with these people in a year or so.
Many fathers leave when you desperately need them and come back when they in need
If you had listened to the first story, you would not write this!
Many do leave as you stated. Many, I hope have the courage to have a vasectomy so as to prevent more pain. The same applies to women. Society plays a huge horrible part in pressuring children right away or eventually. Some more than not, just aren't meant to parent. Meanwhile, here are these brave ppl opening their hearts & risking a serious upset. Bless all concerned. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
It's called forgiveness
😮scary emotional stuff 😢
Hope he fine ❤smile man
❤❤❤❤🎉 TRUE ❤❤❤❤
Good program. Music not necessary, but also too loud.
This mDe me cry 😢
sometimes for men they have had no choice at all but to walk away then comes decades of no closure for them false accusations made etc.... criminals move in on the situations cohersive control etc....
A problem these father from the past had.. they didnt understand that with working too much, the family has to fall apart. Well.. many dont see this before its too late even now.
My mom.left when I was 7 and we never saw her again 😢
I wish there were a better sound quality for such an important podcast. The background music is so high, and the narrator's voice so muffled!
podcast? 😂
He said he sometimes thinks that he should have kept in touch with them. Ummmm....you think??? A divorce, even 40 years ago, does not keep a parent away from their children. What is not being said here??
I know that many men of his age of that era, thought they were doing the right thing to stay away, to "not get in the way" to "let them have their life". This created a legacy of misunderstanding and hurt. So glad to see this small experiment help mend some of these wounds.
In an ideal world!
@LoveMusic-pd5iz Absolutely ridiculous! I'm sure the lack of support and contribution was really helpful. Sounds like an excuse to me. 😤
Maybe the mother was impossible and toxic! You can never know the whole story. Women can be viscous and vindictive towards their ex’s! Let’s be honest!
There is absolutely no excuse and not everyone is that forgiving because I’m surely not.🤷🏽♀️😂
She needs her dad. I hop he needs her
parental alienation etc
I worked long hours and still came home every evening to care for my 4 kids and that was single handed so what really stopped you seeing your boys Barry? When she left you have rights to contact, you left it too long. Unbelievable!
As for Tina that was cruel what you did, you disclosed the friend who loved you and you are so lucky Sam wants to make this right because I wouldn’t forgive you if I was him. You betrayed him.
sam who the drug dealer criminal next door.....make it right you must be joking......
@@somuch4allrightsreserved really? business deal gone wrong?
No. If the people got cut off, it was for a reason. people do not go no contact without a damn good reason.
Exactly l just felt tears coming out on me so Emotional
True. I haven't spoken to my daughter for almost 4 years and that was preceded by decades of cruelty, contempt, disrespect and abuse. Now that she has poisoned my relationship with my beloved grandson I don't ever expect to see her again in this life.
So I’m guessing you’re a psychologist? No? Didn’t think so.
Unfortunately this simply isn’t true. I speak from experience. More often than not, it’s for a bloody ridiculous reason, such as laziness or a hesitation to commit
@@lab4389you know OP’s profession? Didn’t think so.
Blue shirt red dress couple sounded very scripted.
She should have apologised for outing him, that is, if they weren't actors looking to get screen time.
Yeah that one sounded and looked very obviously fake
My children cut me off I decided finally to go along with it they're Muslim I became a follower of Jesus Christ This has separate separated us And their fathers a psychiatrist so he Poisons them Against me
Poor you very sad situation theres only a better person you deserve to be with
For a follower if Jesus Christ you gave yourself online name "blackwidowspider" .
I find that a very odd name for a "follower of Jesus Christ"
My family cut me off... yet i knew from Childhood they did not love me. Some of us need to wait for Jesus to sort it out. He will provide a happy paradise for us... Revelation 21:3-9.
There is no divorce in our country,so my father self- divorced my mother...😅😅😅
Doesn't jac look like her dad jerry
how about DNA TEST
OMG the "Tina" one was soooooo clearly fake lol. They clearly had a third timeslot to fill and just hired two actors and made up a story.
Dhe drag of time, it pretty lame and a good editor could have made this SO much better the Aussie programs are seriously curt. And the emotion is laking in doing so. Another, can easily make it appear so different than it really is.
This eye experience is dumb!
😂😂😂onions 😅
financial abuse etc
This eye stare is stupid.
I don’t like that man
In 1999 my narcissistic and mentally/emotionally abusive ex-husband and father of my 3 teenage kids moved interstate with his much older gf after we had been married for 23 years. I divorced him and he married her. He's had little to no contact with his kids since then and I'm glad. I met a wonderful man who has been better to and for them over the past 22 years than my ex ever could be, so much so that my daughter changed her surname to my maiden name. He is NOT missed.
does the fathwr of your kids even know he has 3 kids?
some women alienate their children then weponize the kids against the ex partner in every legal way possible the legal system is rigged against men my only hope is that i never get involved with a woman who would do that type of thing to me when i finally start a family
you must have wanted a bigger house
@@somuch4allrightsreserved what do you mean?
Wife very selfish
40 YEAR'S I JUST FELT TEAR'S ON ME....I JUST ASKED MYSELF MANY QUESTIONS BAT WHY 40 YEAR'S IT'S QUITE LONG....FATHER'S TRULY LOVE'S THERE BABIES
Ⅱ Ⅱ case the girl she's such a nice person her father is not reliable he has a terrible personality and he's a liar The worst kind of father
