- I wanted to upload this the night that I moved in but because it was unscripted, I did ramble on and there were a lot of long pauses I had to edit out. Once again sorry for ever making any of y'all uncomfortable with all of these things I was launching.

Don't apologise for something you can't control. Shit like that isn't something you're responsible for. My own mother didn't accept my symptoms of autism spectrum and i overreacted. Before you ssy anything, she's depressed and she's too stressed having 6 kids. Two in college and she and my dad have to pay the expenses of college for both of them.
Trust me Josh, you're stronger than me both mentally and physically. If you think you're weak, just remember my mistake to tell yourself you proved yourself to ne stronger than me.
Love you Josh. I see you as a older sibling
Maybe you could do a channel membership of emoji stickers? Please, it's not too much for us. Cats, bl couples. Just anything you need, I'm still a minor and I'm unable to but if you can't take from the money for the sticker shop the channel membership money in us dollars could very much help you as it is only meant for you in terms of money.
Love you Josh ❤❤❤❤
Do you still have a P.O. Box we can contribute to?
I wish I could know how your abuser was raised and what her thoughts are on life.
Do not shame yourself for buying Manga, art supplies, etc. That was your way of trying to survive, your finally in a space where you can finally be safe and now work through it
There's a reason they are called "escapism"!
Idk who exactly said this, but I saw it on reels that if u buy smtg silly n goofy or unnecessary for yourself n feel guilty BUT if its also the things that's stopping u from jumping off then that is a necessity, n I like to live by that.
@@forgotmyname4807more importantly as a weeb going to 23 cons a year and having my whole life in fandom, manga and anime etc are not silly and goofy but necessities anyway 😂
Nice pfp doctor
@@marenatedroses129 thank you doctor
I’m so sorry Josh, I know quite well the kind of abuse you’ve been through. You don’t owe any of us an apology.
I’m proud of you for having the self confidence and self respect to break out of the abusive place you’ve been stuck in.
The fact that you even had the _worry_ of coming off as "money hungry" is proof enough for me that you are genuine. I understand why you had that concern, and the shame that might have come along with it but for me you never had to worry about that. We wouldn't think you were money hungry, because that is not the image you portray to us and I choose to believe that. In any case, I am so happy for you that you managed to escape and I will pray that it will stay that way. Please, take care of yourself. I lived in Malaysia until very recently so I know the cheapest foods have little to no nutritional value because they are largely fried. Take care of yourself, drink lots of water, etc. I'm sorry this comment is very wordy :'(

Queer Vietnamese viewer here, I have watched your videos since my Fujoshi phase, you got me through my highschool years. I’m in college now, i figured out my gender identity, in part thanks to you. Please get better.
🫂
omg hi fellow Vietnamese! (I'm gay >:3)
@@pud_dinh1402 yipppe, im genderfluid ✨✨
I'm not a BL fan and I don't have a use for queer stickers or pins. I'm just a human being who has been through some miserable shit. This is the only video of yours I've watched and despite my currency being a bit weird, i hope you can get a nice meal or something with it. Good luck with life ❤️
Sending you some love and light. And hope you can get a mattress sooner rather than later.
I wish i was older so i can donate too. But i have alot of respect for you ❤
bless your heart❤
@@julietjhope4202 what do you mean.?
I think parental abuse is so normalized in Southeast Asian countries that it makes stuff like this seem run of the mill for so many of us. I'm so happy you were able to leave that situation and can start to take care of yourself. Don't forget that we care about you, Josh, and we want you to be happy.
Didn't go through physical abuse, my mom did go for gaslighting. Thank you for reminding me that my mom's view of me was as a reflection on the family. I am the older sibling who disappeared 21 years ago.
Your story is nearly identical to mine. It’s a very frustrating and painful life to have lived with a narcissistic parent. Know that you are stronger than what your mother will manipulate you to be. And know that right now things seem bleak and unsure, but it does get better. You’ll become more confident and sure of yourself. You do have a life outside of your mother. Be safe.
You dont have anything to apologise to us for. I am just happy to hear that you got away 😭💜 I just want to say, you could NEVER dissapoint us 💜 We are here for you 🫶🏻
Josh, you are not money-hungry; you’ve never done anything to make us think such. You do not need to apologize, for you have done nothing wrong. You have gone through horrible abuse. Josh, you are powerful. I look up to you and admire your strength and fantastic character. I hope that everything goes well and let us know if you need anything, we’re here for you!❤️
I laughed, talked for a long time with my bestie, and had a great time watching your videos, Sensei. We want to see you grow and shine , please take care of yourself. Lots of love and huggies from my side.
youre so kind

For all who need this:
- I am proud of you
- I see you
- You are worthy
- You are needed here
- Keep going please
- Thank you just because
- Keep pushing, growing, learning
- Be well, be you, be where you're free or work towards it (creating, walking, reading, privatize things, etc.)
❤
You didn't disappoint us You were going through hell you deserve all the help that you need.
i am a 15 year old girl 2 years clean, my older brother and sister moved out and finally escaped my abusive parents. as the youngest, i still have to stay for 2-3 years and this is making me insane.
Sorry to hear, I hope you are able to leave.
You are loved and wanted.
I am a fellow abuse survivor my mom and dad were very similar. I want you to know you do not have to be sorry or feeling apologetic for anything regarding your mental health. I know the survivors guilt can be incredibly hard. You do not need to feel guilty for advertising your sticker club regardless of the situation either. You are a valuable person. A beautiful example of humanity. You are a bright light in my life. You are not money hungry, you are not a beggar. Thank you so much for everything you do and I at minimum am very proud of you for being strong enough to escape and strong enough to make it
When you talk about your mom and what she used to do to you, it really makes me think back on your previous stories. It made my stomach drop when you talked about the abuse you went through and what you went through when you were trying to get out. While I wasn’t able to provide much support in the kickstarter or the sticker thing, I watch and rewatch all your vids. I’m thrilled you’re doing better, so don’t ever apologise for doing what you can to get out. Hope you’re doing better now Josh. Wishing the best for you and you’re new life. Hope you get your life back together and get to see your friends back and make more, also wishing luck for your sister as well.
🫂
Hope things improve for u!
You don’t need to apologize. Just stay safe. We will support you.
Thanks!
As another child of an abusive parent (my father has been physically, mentally, verbally and emotionally abusive all my life), you have ALL my blessing!
Love from Bulgaria and another person from the LGBT+ community (on the asexuality spectrum too)! 🌍🌟🌈
Oh damn wtf, Bulgaria mentioned - neuron activated
Успех ❤
@@CrayCrayslab Благодаря!
I'm just a broke teen so I didn't contribute to your sticker shop or kickstarter, and to be honest I didn’t know about them. This is also the first time I've heard about any of this from you. I guess I missed certain things and/or I'm just dense as hell. I just want to say that this SHOULD NOT be an apology video. It should be an update video. You have NO reason at all to apologize for trying to garner the money to get away from your ABUSER. I don't know how things work socially in Malaysia so I honestly have no idea why you would think any of us would be uncomfortable. So what if you're "money hungry"? I guess you were in a way? I really hope this doesn't come off wrong. But it was all for your SURVIVAL. You were ACTUALLY hungry after somehow your mother still managed to starve you after you left. Anyone that tries to blame or critisize you for that just doesn't have a human soul.
You asked for help, but it is still the choice of all your viewers to support you. They're not forced to. Which I think is better to think about if you ask me considering all the people that could and did support you made a conscious decision to do so. I wish now more than ever that I could buy something from your shop knowing all this. But the most I can do now is try to remind you that it is NOT your fault, you have and will NEVER have ANY reason to apologize to us for trying survive or your mother for the abuse SHE put uou through, and things WILL get better because it's clear people are still going to support you. I hope things get better for you very soon ❤
I'm so glad that ppl like you still exist 🫂
I'm a new viewer but holy hell you do not have to apologize at all. You don't have to give anything back. Just keep living and surviving. Fuck anyone that would do this to another person. You are so strong and I can't wait to see where you go from here. I'm sure you'll do great things. I hope there's nothing but amazing things coming your way. 🙏💕✨🌈
you're so strong for leaving. i hope you future will be brighter and full of oppotunities and good luck.
As someone who has also experienced abuse from my mother, what she did to you is unacceptable. You are not alone in your struggles and you have nothing to apolgise for. Your mother was wrong for what she did to you and the fault is ONLY on her. I wish for you to be happy and have all the success in life. You are worthy of all things good and we all love and appreciate you ❤
Seeing all love and prayers to you and all the victims of narcissists 😔😔😔
There's no need to apologize about promoting your form of income. I myself am starting to save up to move out to go to university in a bigger city so I can't buy anything at the moment. But I'll continue to watch your videos, promote your work and recommend you to my friends to help you anyway that I can. I'm so proud of you for getting through this and know that we all love and support you 🥰
I went through/am going through something similar. in January of this year, my mother kicked me out and gave me one week to leave. I was so convinced that I wouldn't be able to live on my own. I had created such a codependency to a woman i'm not sure even loves me. My first few months away, I was barely eating, as I didn't have a job, going through the rest of my little savings and a benefit form the government. My housing situation is very unstable, but I can't really afford to move out. It's really great to see that it gets better, seeing someone who was in a similar situation, but managed to get in a better one. Thank you for sharing your story, it gives me hope. I'm 8 days clean :)
Forgiveness means that you stop wanting revenge, it doesn't mean wanting the person back in your life.
Josh, nobody should have had to feel the way that you felt. Nobody should have been forced to live in those harsh conditions that you did. But u did it. And u survived. And we are all so immensely proud and just grateful that you are still here today. 6 years clean 🤗🤗🎊🎊
And with the freedom that you have so recently gotten, it's only going to get better from here!! Fighting!! 💪💪🥺🥺
I'm just an Internet stranger, but I'm so proud of you and everything you've been able to overcome! I always look forward to your uploads and will support you any way I can. I just joined your Patreon Sticker Club 😊😊😊😊
Oh yeah, "who cares if you have friends?" Isolation behavior. That was my mom.
Josh, I have followed you for years, and knew that your situation was complicated, but never knew that it was that bad. You are not money hungry, you dont owe us an apology. I am so sorry you had to go through all this, and am so happy that you have stayed so strong. And you did nothing wrong with buying manga and things to keep you happy and sane. Im SO happy that you have been able to leave. If you have a paypal or kofi, plx let me know, its a bit complicated for me to use patreon, and shipping for the sticker club (location issue) But i really want to help you out!
you really dont have to apologise for anything, none of this is your fault, we all will always support you and be here for you
There's no need to apologize for needing money and buying the supplies necessary to make a living. We're just happy to hear you're in a safe space now. ❤️
Stay safe
Please don’t apologize, you are not in the wrong. You never disappoint and never will.
I was in a very similar situation a couple years ago. None of it was ever your fault. Also, even if there wasn't a bad scenario, never feel bad as an artist for trying to sell your products. We artists need to eat and put a roof over our heads too. It's not something to be ashamed of. We deserve to profit off of things we work so hard for. Getting out of abuse is hard even after a few years of being out of the situation, you'll feel tired and burnt out for a long while as your body and mind recover, but recovery is possible. You have a whole community backing you and we are proud of you for surviving.
Don't apologise for something you can't control. Shit like that isn't something you're responsible for. My own mother didn't accept my symptoms of autism spectrum and i overreacted. Before you ssy anything, she's depressed and she's too stressed having 6 kids. Two in college and she and my dad have to pay the expenses of college for both of them.
Trust me Josh, you're stronger than me both mentally and physically. If you think you're weak, just remember my mistake to tell yourself you proved yourself to ne stronger than me.
Love you Josh. I see you as a older sibling
i havent entirely checked in on your channel in a while but i made sure to watch this video all the way through. im so sorry you had to go through all that and im so happy you managed to make it out alive and safe. please dont apologise for advertising your stickers and merch! you fully deserve every penny you earn from your work.
Josh I am so so sorry you had to endure all that. I am literally about to cry and I am only half way through the video. You are such a wonderful human being and I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you didn’t end it all. I love your videos, I love hearing you tell your stories, I love getting the notification that you posted a new video. Thank you for being here mate. I am so fucking proud of you for making it through all that.
You didn't disappoint us. We are all happy you got away from such a bad situation 💔 you also don't have to apologize you didn't do anything wrong at all😭
I'm so happy you're alive Josh , I can't believe you've been through so much pain and suffering i wish i could just give u a hug rn...💔
Please don't feel the need to apologize. As someone that also have struggled breaking free from a narcissist parent I get how difficult the situation can be and how painful it is as well. You are so brave and strong! I wish you all the happiness ❤
Well, this was harrowing. All I wanna say is never feel bad that you bought manga, my dude. Not all necessities go in or on our bodies, especially when you are living as you described here. For all we know, those books might've saved your life. I am so happy for you
Proud of you for 6 years clean. I'm 4 years clean. I really hate that I ever self harmed. Once you stop, you begin to realize how much it really doesn't help, how much it only escalates the situation and prolongs it into the future because you can no longer get rid of the scars.
I did notice you pushed out a lot of things at once, but I never thought you were money hungry; you are a very genuine person and the fact you worry how you come off as is proof.
I wish the best for your future. I cannot image having to live with a mother like that for as long as you had to. I've already had it of my family and I'm much younger than 27 and my situation was never as close as dire as yours.
It makes me feel like I'm oblivious with how you were able to deal with such suicidal thoughts and remain as usual in your videos, and I never suspected anything behind the scenes.
Your mother literally commited child negligence, idk about Asia, but in my country that's against the law and she would face jail time and lose costidy for sure. No one deserves to starve.
Edit: DO NOT return to the abuser, you have been conditioned to believe that may be the right choice, but it's not. Forget about her.
You don’t owe us a apology for anything and I’m so happy your were able to leave ❤
You've come so far we're so proud of you Josh ❤you deserve happiness
Second time I was homeless, I woke up from a dream where my family tracked me down and was in a panic from it.
There's no need to apologize and you never disappointed us .Im so happy that your finally free from that horrible stuff and i really hope you'll be able to get better and be happy! i really enjoy all of your videos and content! and im sure everyone here is looking to support you in any way they can ,even if it's just watching your videos.
(Also i don't know if you are still working on your own BL series, but if you are im ,looking forward to it!!) have a nice day/night and stay safe!
Nothing to apologize for. Glad you’re safe Josh ❤
Also, camping pads are good option while you’re saving for a bed.
As someone with a narcissistic mother of my own, I am so damn proud of you for taking all the steps you felt was necessary to leave. I'm wishing you the best of luck, and I have a good feeling you'll do fantastic on your own. Also, congratulations on being 6 years clean! I'm very happy you are in a better headspace now and can live your life in peace and joy. Some days will prove to be very difficult, but keep holding onto hope! You deserve every bit of happiness that comes to you, and I hope you'll be able to slowly emotionally heal now that you're in a much better environment
I'm so sorry that you had to deal with someone like that in your life. Abuse like this is no joke and I'm very happy to hear that you are safe now! Please know that you don't owe ANYONE an apology. You deserve love respect and kindness, pls never forget that. I wish you the very best and stay safe
Love your everything! I pray for your success in the future
Please take care of yourself, eat well and sleep well. FIGHTING!!!
I used to watch you as a kid, I’m glad your in a better place now.
You didn’t need to apologize to us! You needed to focus on yourself and that’s understanding! Many people after watching this, I bet, are glad that you moved away and got away from that toxic life! It was for the best. You didn’t need to apologize to us, you just need a hug from us followers! Even I wanna hug you after watching and listening to this video!!! 😭🥺
🫂
You are amazing and so brave for opening up about all of this, you never owe an apology for putting yourself first
If you are ever put into a position that you have to starve, please get some protein powder. It'll help
Glad you got away. There is absolutely no need to apologise 💚🕊️
I am a viewer who has silently enjoyed your videos, but today, i just wanna acknowledge your strength in those trying times. I really admire your willpower and your bravery. It must be so relieving to finally break free.
And of course, i will find a way to support you however i can.
Greetings from Macedonia ❤

Josh, I am so sorry for everything you have had to go through. I wish you all the happiness and safety in the world. Your channel has been a great emotional support to me. I love you ❤
I`m a quite viewer most of the time, so my words are not that important. But you really don't have to apologize. I'm so sorry you had to go trough all this. I feel you at some point, although i got out way early from my abusive family. But i get the feeling, feeling dependet on someone who you know is abusing you xx.
I wish i could support you, but even the shipping to germany is so high and i don't have that much money myself xx.
But i'm so happy at how much support you got and that it now will finaly get better. I send you so much strenght. Don't let her get you. She is a sad person and you are so strong.
🫂They are a sad person and you are so strong.
Idk imma take this with me
As someone who went through manipulation abuse as a child & teen from a aunt, I know how hard it can be😞. I’m glad & thankful that ur were able to leave, & those who want to support u will not feel disappointed for u selling or being away for awhile☺️💖. Congratulations to a better future💖🥳🥰💖.

my mate I wish you some HARDCORE HAPPINESS.
I wish I could give you a big hug I hope it gets better for you
Congratulations Josh! Stay strong, things are already getting better 🩵

I hope you are doing better now and even though I haven't been able to buy anything from your stores, I will continue to support you by watching your videos ♥
Josh, We love you and your content. Please don't apologize. You are one of the reasons I haven't hurt myself for so long, thank you. We are so proud of you especially for leaving. Stay safe. ❤
i am so proud of you for leaving that horrible woman. you lived through such hard conditions, and i think you're amazing for that.
I’m so glad you got out of that situation. it takes so much- strength, energy, money, time. I hope you’re proud of doing this for yourself- you should be!
God bless your journey...he loves you so much and is always there for you...
I don't know if I will ever get it, but I hope we can see you happy and smiling face at some point. Best of luck josh.
Please dont apologize 💕💕 sending love.
Everyone deserves good parents, but not everyone deserves children.
I'm proud of you josh I'm happy you could finally get away from her I just hope that you'll be happier and safe now that your away from her
You are brave and really a warrior to stand up (and its your mom too!!) against your abuser. Don't ever apologize for the things you can't control and honestly I'm glad you were buying manga while living under that "lady" roof, was proof that you have hope to leave her and enjoying the things you love. You are a warrior and me and so many people are proud of you!!

I have been a quiet viewer for a long time, but I really want you to know that there is no reason to apolgize at all! ❤ you never made us feel uncomfortable and I really wish you the very best for the future- for all the days and months to come.

SENDING LOVE JOSH! GOSH I WAS CRYING SO HARD 😢❤
Hey, Josh, I just want to tell you that you're worth it and being loved by a lot of people.
You're not alone.
People are more than happy to support you.
I'm glad that you're out of this situation and hopefully you can heal from it now. Healing will be tough and need time but I'm sure you can do it.
Love ya!
P.S.: I'm for once thankful for TH-cams recommendation. I actually watched your videos a few years ago when I first got into bl but then I kinda stopped watching them ^^"
I'm proud of how far you came
I relate to this more than I can admit. So happy for you for leaving. 🙏 You are so strong. ❤️
I'm so proud of you for getting out of that situation.
I'm in the same situation as you right now Josh, because of my abusive father :(...and it's really a struggle for me too and I ended up developing mental illness like depression, social anxiety, panic attacks and many more because of him :(..I'm currently taking medications for 4 years now and honestly it isn't helping me at all because I'm still here in this hell house and with my abusive father and everyday is very toxic for me :(....and I can't really move out in our house because I'm financially unstable and can't I afford renting outside :(...also I'm afraid of my father and don't have the courage to move out...
But I'm happy for you Josh!! you took the courage to moved out in your toxic household and live by yourself :) Honestly it's the best feeling to be independent and not care about your toxic parents bitching about your life! Seriously Asian parents sometimes feel like they own their children and want them to do whatever they want with them! controlling you even though you are a grown ass adult already! and start bitching when they couldn't get you to do what they want!. It's very toxic seriously :( I just hope that your mother change in the future and learn to understand your feelings and not just always theirs....Praying for you Josh! Stay positive always! and stay healthy! 😊
I hope you well. From I know my experience that it becomes more harder to overcome that shit when you close environment is still toxic and filled with shit. I'll pray for you before going to sleep maybe something may manifest.🫂
@@living7063 Thank you much!😭🙏 It feels like living hell 😞 and surviving everyday is very hard..😭
@@jeantumbagahan2053you can escape this, we all support you ❤
You didn’t disappoint us. You deserve help and support.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all this. I hope things only get better from now on, stay as strong as you are, move forward and don't ever look back 💖
Josh, I really commend your resilience. You are absolutely brave for not only putting up with a lifetime of abuse in the face of uncertainty but also brave enough to have the courage to be vulnerable in front of your audience to share your story (it can be inspiring to others to know they're not alone). I can tell you have a bright future ahead of you just based on your spirit. This world can be cruel and brutal and it makes me so incredibly happy that you've managed to keep your upbeat optimistic personality. Don't let the world make your heart cold. We share a lot of similarities in our stories, too many. Even up until 8 or so months ago my life was absolute shit and I thought it was the end for me.. but it eventually got better because I never gave up. For me, a bit of toxic positivity was fueling my drive. I told myself that failing wasn't an option. Looking back at that time, I wish I was kinder and gentler to myself but.. we do what we have to do to survive. As someone who has moved every year since 2019 (hopefully this year, for the last time for a long while) and has live in EVERY kind of arrangement (alone, with family, with roommates, with an (ex) spouse) I know what it's like to be scared, feel alone and terrified of not knowing what to expect but you can do it. You just take things one day at a time. You've worked incredibly hard for everything you have and you deserve to live a softer life. Really enjoy the fruits of your labor. The best is yet to come for your Josh. YOU ABSOLUTELY GOT THIS ❤
so sorry that happend to you we all suport you i hope your doing better
Congrats on moving outtttt!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
5 minutes into the video, sorry I can't continue watching it because it also triggered my trauma 😔 I sympathize with you, having narcissistic parent is so difficult. The way you describe your mother is exactly like my experience, except for me it's my father. As fellow ASEAN (Indonesian) I hope I can give you encouragement and walk together through this hell
There’s nothing to apologize for! You were doing what you could to survive, being stuck with an abusive/manipulative parent is hard regardless of age. Those questions and doubts, I had the same before I finally I got of the toxic house I was in. People who treat their children like that don’t deserve them in the first place.
There’s nothing wrong with asking for help, and when you were promoting your stickers and merch. Many content creators need the extra income, and you do deserve it. I’ve watched your vids for years and you have grown so much and I’m proud of you. We all are, and those who are trying to put you down don’t deserve your attention.
Please take care of yourself, we are here for you, and will support you however we can.
🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
It breaks my heart to think how many of us had gone through the same hell with different fonts.
Don't apologize for all this. I'm so sorry you had to go through all this that you definitely didn't deserve. I wish I could give you a hug 🫂❤
Congratulations on everything!
Not even 4 minutes in and I completely understand. I’ve been through the same thing you did. Because these wounds are relatable & fresh, forgive me for not watching til the end for how triggering it can get.
For me, I was mentally & emotionally abused by my foster parents & foster grandmother for about 20 years (their gaslighting is why I stayed with them for the longest time). It wasn’t until the death of my foster grandfather (grandma’s 2nd husband) when I realized that I wasn’t going to be loved or respected by this family. Because I was watched & bounded by them, I resorted to running away as an adult
I had no other choice.
I spent the rest of my 20s coming to terms with what I did-at first I thought I made a horrible mistake & I wasn’t “strong enough” to handle my foster family every time they hit me or something like that. Then it was “what am I going do, it’s too quiet & boring” only to learn recently that was me being burnt out that I need 6 years of “rest” because of the years of abuse. Then, I met some family members on both my biological mom & dad’s side, realizing the shit they went through & how was lied to by my foster family into thinking they never cared about me.
Glassy Sky” from Tokyo Ghoul is my song when it came to escaping my abusers & moving on in those early years-if you wanted to get the picture of what it was like.
To use a bit of Buffy speak
Joy isn't pointless, it's very pointy.
Sending love to you from pakistan josh... I've been watching you for years now and i'll continue to do so... wish you all the happiness in the world ❤
I love you, I support you. I wish you all the best. Stay strong love
Sending you love and support from New York City ❤️🫶🏾 I'm so sorry to hear you were going through all of this 😢 we're all so proud of you
