    Brian jumped in my car at 2am in Woy Woy one morning at the service station. He ended up coming out prawn trawling on the hawkesbury river. He is certainly larger than life. Glad to see he is in a better place.

    I wish you were here in Sarasota, Florida, USA to work with my 24 year old daughter who has autism! I’m not sure if she could actually play tennis, but I bet it would be therapeutic to have the chance with someone as positive and uplifting as YOU …….
    your story is so inspiring and I hope it spreads around the world🥰

  • @ParArdua
    @ParArdua 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Four things are concerning:
    1 He never takes responsibility for his behaviour;
    2 He appears to have little insight into his aggressive behaviour;
    3 There are inappropriate and insufficient boundaries between him and Ms Fleming;
    4 Such dependency on one individual can evolve into jealousy, possessiveness, and violence against the person, or those in their emotional network.
    Time for this man to be connected to other support people and services, and for Ms Fleming to be required to do some safe boundary training as part of the duty of care of the agency for whom she volunteers.

    • @MrLMD1234
      @MrLMD1234 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Did you even watch the full video? It mentions how he realized he is self-aware now. Fleming knows way more about Brian then you do. And now he is connected to other people/services because he is directly involved in the charity Ms Fleming set up.

    • @Meat12.5
      @Meat12.5 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You have no idea. I have known Brian for decades and still do. You do not know the full story and for you to hypothesise on here to inflate your ego only serves to show your narcisistic and egotistical bid for relevence. How does it feel to be judged by someone playing psych on Social Media? Get the message? 😉

      @@Meat12.5 I stumbled onto this video, there is no mention of Brian diagnosed condition, I had an Uncle in an almost parallel set of circumstances as brian but was never diagnosed with a mental health condition and was basically locked up by the local country police until his condition became manageable, it wasn't until after he passed away that I found out that he was Bipolar and unmedicated, which I didn't really understand until after being married for 3 years my wife had her first manic episode and I now have a massive understanding of Bipolar and Schizophrenia, there is no mention of who suffers or what we can do to help and understand how and what very intelligent people can suffer from intermittent conditions
