- Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy, Sen. Ted Kennedy's youngest child, has a new memoir that digs deep into his long history of mental illness and addiction. It is a story other family members did not want him to tell. His brother, Ted Kennedy Jr., called it an “inaccurate and unfair portrayal of our family.” Kennedy joins the second hour of “CBS This Morning” to discuss why he co-wrote “A Common Struggle.”
He should be proud of writing this book, Just because their name is "Kennedy" doesn't mean they don't have issues with mental health, drugs, alcohol, etc. They are just people.
We are all human and I am proud of Patrick to let people know..
well said
"They are just people."
Don't say that too loud in Massachusetts.
I find his story touching. He's brave to speak out in the family that he's in. I hope after the time that has gone by since this interview Patrick and his brother are at peace, it's sad when there are only the two left in there immediate family!
Honest and courageous.
Patrick looks like a really good honest guy who is not afraid to share his issues, it just means he wants to heal, he was definitely in the healing process.
Pat Thanks for sharing keep living your truth!!
His book was excellent. Brutally honest.
Honest and courageous
I’m hoping to meet this man one day to say I’m sorry for thinking anything negative of him.
Wow. When he starts talking about issues....he’s his daddy’s son. Keep fighting 💪🏽💪🏽 everyone in our country deserves care. White, black, old, young, disabled, mentally incapacitated, trauma patients, ptsd victims, EVERYONE DESERVES HELP! If there are firearms laws to keep us safe from violence, there should be laws to keep us safe from disease and viruses as well.
Die hard conservative here. But my god this man is brave talking about his own demons, but speaking against his own corrupt family. This is a good man
Pat, your'e a great guy. Thanks for doing this
I love the Kennedys warts and all. This family has done a lot for this country!!!!
This made me sad. Good for him.
So much respect! Everyone idolizes them and forgets that they are just humans
what was MARY JO
So true about mental illnessis and adictions. Keep doing this. I'm myself is suffering from mental illness since I was about 20 years old. There is still a lot of wrong ideas about this. Keep fighting about these issues Patrik. You are a true Kennedy.❤
God bless u, Patrick kennedy!!!🙏🙏🙏
God damn u. patrick kennedy
Bless him as he recovers
So rare to have former or current elected officials fighting for healthcare for those with addiction, mental health issues. Wonder how many gun violence killers would have been stopped had we top notch mental health care in the country.
Powerful testimony! Thank you Congressman Kennedy!
He wasn't the congressman, his father ted was, this idiot had people come in every morning to dress him and remind him what his name was. He was just a meat puppet and still is.
Stan Stuben, Do some research before you shoot your mouth off! Patrick Kennedy was a Congressman from Rhode Island from 1995 to 2011. His father, Ted Kennedy, was a Massachusetts State Senator from 1962 until 2009, when he died from brain cancer. Since you cannot get the basic facts correct, I am not even going to comment on the rest of your idiotic statement. Everyone of us has had some type of problem in our lives. We should not judge others for what they are going through, or have gone through. Give the man some credit for having the strength to overcome his problems, and advocating for others in the same situation.
Great chap.
Poor man !!! I think he’s a great man it’s not his fault what the family did
I appreciate his humanity
What a price the family endured. Often excellence almost taken for granted when love prevails that's leadership.
CHAPPAQUIDDICK
He’s so brave to come out with this.
BS
I think he is a gentle soul
That was nice, May God Bless him and his family
"irreparable harm..." from Charlie Rose? Priceless!!!!! LOL!!!

Patrick Kennedy's memoir reminds me of why I'm writing my SZ memoir I call Ayesha's Story: The SZ Memoirs. I am really into memoir writing. He is so brave.
He wouldve been a good president...its cute they named him patrick after Jackie lost her baby patrick.
Ted Kennedy was a great man as long as you didn't take a car ride with him.
Ted Kennedy Sr. Name will always be linked to MaryJo and her drowning. I personally believe he became a better man and a better Senator. Ted made a bad choice but should always be remembered also as a Senator whom helped get laws passed which helped millions of people. 🙏🏽
Best Kennedy yet.
Every family member has a different perception of their memories.
It is good that Patrick K. tells the Truth at last the Kennedys are a big family in which a few members also have bigger problems
it is psychologically so bad, to swallow all yr issues n pretend all is good, when yr life is falling apart you must deal with it!
Truth>>>Come on what politican tells the truth... JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Trump, Bush, FDR yeah and I could go on and on.
As long as you know your truth.........
Ted Kennedy as the greatest American senator ever?! Please! These people are so out of touch with reality.
I totally agree with you Nic B!
well he was. a flawed man but as a senator he spent 47 years standing up for the little guy
Evan Bernard if by little guy you mean his rich, corrupt family members and the likes then yes, I guess you’re right.
His father was a coward and a murderer! nothing more...nothing less
Thank you Evan. Do you love the people who went to the theater and saw Chappaquiddick and now believe they have a coherent argument for their low opinion of Ted Kennedy?
Sure, he has trouble with addiction, which is a shame. But his bigger problem is lying publicly about the Church.
Family in denial

weird..
This gent is toast.
How was his career going?
He's no longer in politics
Without his daddy around to buy him his RI congressional seat he was forced to drop out.
Welcome To July and Happy Eid Adha Mubarak 2022 😇🙏🇮🇩🇺🇲🇮🇪🇪🇺
He has the same accent as Jeff Bezos
What a Freak
Kennedy line here, we have same issue. Prayers.
He sounds like a dope to me. The problem with mental health benefits is that you could easily go through the whole budget paying for psychotherapy. Everybody wants it and the therapists think everybody needs it, like over 90% of the people, and it's not cheap! So how do you give 90% of the public something for free? The free stuff has to come from public tax revenues!
Makes the Kennedy’s feel more human.
Throwback!

Dirtbags.
This the crazy Kennedy boy, voted to repeal Glass-Steagal in 1999. Joe P. Kennedy III is the good guy.
Well, let's just say JPK III is the least evil. He claims to be a "practicing Roman Catholic" and yet, hypocritically, he supports abortion. You can't be a Catholic and support abortion...it's duplicitous.
Double Ghod that’s what makes him a good politician, he understands that not every American is a Catholic so he doesn’t allow his religion to dictate his stances. He might not support abortion in his own life but supports the right for women to have the option to do as they please with their bodies.
His father killed a woman.
his family killed many people!
Nope
He’s a wreck.
Maybe you are
@@chadk890 Sticks and stones? What are you in third grade? F off.
Alcohol et his brain.
alcohol et his mom's brain, Patrick has no brain.
He's a JFK lookalike!!
Rachel Demain You need glasses lol. JFK was a looker....Patrick not so much.
No.
Not at all
@@trinapayan8820 Correct! And actually he never looked like he was the son of Joan or Ted Kennedy. They were a very striking couple despite the fact the marriage was not too happy.
He seems insane.
He should have kept his mouth shut
This bum simply needed a buck, period.
