Gezz, that 16 year old kid that confronted his ''dad'' only to find out he wasn't his dad makes me really sad. He hated someone his whole life for a lie.
Thats when those ancestry tests can come in handy
Dude the mom is human trash
Thats when you gotta step back and realize that his Narcissistic bitch of a single mother is the real bad guy here. Lied to her kid his entire life over some petty child support payments
@@jamesluqqy3697 I be cautious to people like that. If female & or male has any of the mental conditions. I worry to child or children being like that.
My mom did that to me to be honest, my whole life she told me my dad was this dude named James and I hated him because he wasn’t there. Well, I met my real dad at 14 and she had been keeping it a secret from both of us even though we were in the same town. She got drunk one night and told him.
he immediately stepped in as my father, I’ve lived with him since then, even now I’m 21 and crashing at his house while I’m in college. I was so confused about all my feelings and anger that I held onto for so many years to a person that I didn’t know. After I met my real dad all those feelings of hate and anger went to my mom.
I find the lack of cigarettes in this story disturbing.
Agreed
Fnord Fnordington
Look at the thumbnail.
@Fnord Fnordington And? I see millions of people smoking, the government isnt doing jack shit
@Fnord Fnordington i think its just you fucked up Americans Canada is wonderful cigarettes are legal weed is legal natives sell rollys for $20 for 200 everything is fine here should move
@Fnord Fnordington hey well smoking is --- *you know*
Can we get big respect for the boss who set him up for a new job
Yes.
Mega respect.
That's how mafia works
Respeccatory respectation in meganess of the highest order
That was amazing
All of those who left their abusers are incredibly strong. Makes me very grateful for my parents being not shitty.
Its the hardest choice they can do. But when they leave they leave the hate behind and life gets better. Those in abusive relationships. It not your fault. And theres no good in their heart.
@The TacomaKid Go away CIA
@@mr.serious707
Hey bud, it's okay to leave an abusive relationship. You don't owe them anything
Ughgh... receiving Abuse is basically my entire life, I got me and my Older brother away from my mother after realising she had been abusing and brainwashing us for 18 years, I'm 24 my brother is 27, I have numerous Mental health problems and my brother is "Normal" for the most part, he just can't break away from the brainwashing and learned behaviour, which basically means I saved myself and my brother from an abusive future but as my brother struggles with change all he knows how to do is give out abuse, alot of people are trying to help the both of us but my brother is ignoring everything everyone is telling him and it's getting real close to that time where I'm just going to have to abandon my brother for the sake of my own sanity and health as He is reflecting the abuse he witnesses my mother giving me. Sad times and I know he won't be able to manage on his own but I have to put myself first at some point otherwise I could end up dead and I'd prefer to avoid suicide... I'm very intelligent but I am an extremely broken person so I struggle with life, Smart thing is not to die though. Suicide isn't the answer for me either, the world has taught me that as 17 times I've walked to go off myself I've always walked into a friend who has no Idea to this day how many times he's saved me and has no Idea how bad I've been. One day when I'm doing much better or even when my friend feels like he's a bad person I'm going to let him know
Yeah but literally everyone on redit lies
My dad has been playing hide and seek with me for 18 years but I still can't find him
Maybe under the table
maybe in alabama
maybe in the liquor store?
Maybe at the grocery store, or the park?
maybe he is the best hide and seeker

5:03 Gotta give credit to the boss. It always amazes me to see some unexpected help from others.
Sad how many of those are men being abused by women and who are not believed 🙄
Yup. Both parents can be wrecking a family apart.
Lunsch Ski totally agree. If a woman hits a man she should have consequences as well. Violence is not the answer.
LovelyRamirez FamilyChannel ah yes a respectable woman
Yes
You saying this just proves how better of a woman you are compared to those cheap people. Heck even if you’re a guy you’re still a better person than them
Man this makes me very grateful for the awesome family I have, 99% of my parents, sisters, uncle and aunts are the best and I couldn't wish better. Thanks God.
What about the other 1%?
@@user-jh7tl1yu3c there has been this uncle on my father's side with alcohol problems and was just generally rude and stuff, but he died around the time I was born. And a nephew who has big time money problems but doesn't want to listen to our family even though they all lend him help, but they won't fully support him until he stops being so stubborn and listens to them. But those are just 2 "rotten" (not even that bad) apples in my family. Either way the nephew is still a nice person overall, just stubborn and in a hella lot of debt. He probably also has alcohol issues but either way, my family overall is awesome.
Same man love my family and I am blessed 👌🏿🤟
Same dude. I've gained a whole new appreciation for my family
Ayoubelk please hug and tell your family you love them, I’m very jealous of what you have. Never take advantage of what you have been blessed with.
The one at 7:45.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."
It's TRUE meaning is that the family you choose is stronger than your blood family.
It is just misrepresented and people think it means the opposite.
Woah dude... That's awesome to hear that!! This video and all its stories are taking me on the feels train, partly because I went through something similar.
Thank you! Someone said it.
It always bothers me when people get this saying wrong and misunderstand its meaning. My dad uses it all the time, telling my sisters that I 'chose water over blood', and I just laugh because even when corrected he just won't have it.
The guy never acknowledges he's wrong, and he's always wrong. xD
That's false bro. That was made up after the fact
This has been debunked, the "covenant/womb" bit was added on to a mistranslation.
"The traditional proverb is believed to originate from medieval German poet Heinrich der Glîchezære’s 1180 fable epic Reinhart Fuchs (meaning “Reynard the Fox”) in which he states "ouch hoer ich sagen, das sippe blůt von wazzere niht verdirbet", translating to "I also hear it said, kin-blood is not spoiled by water" in English.
It’s believed this refers to familial ties not changing due to distance over the seas."
www.quora.com/Where-did-the-phrase-The-blood-of-the-covenant-is-thicker-than-the-water-of-the-womb-come-from
where did you hear that? Because it's been debunked.
7:16 I hate when people quote the blood is thicker than water saying because they always do it wrong. The full saying is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," meaning the bonds you forge by choice are stronger than the ones of family. It literally means the opposite of what most people think it does so when I hear it misquoted it bothers me.
Intresting. Thanks for the info
Is that so? A much cooler quote ngl
Thanks for that info. Very interesting.
I know what you mean, it really bother me too.
Googled it out of curiousity and it has nothing to do with family or relations. Its meaning points to the bonds of soldiers in warfare.
Sometimes we just gotta say-" I'm boutta head out"... and walk out of a shithole relationship/ situation we're in

It's obvious why he left you.
I have a pretty depressing story to tell.
Basically, around 7 years ago I was just chilling around my house when I hear someone frantically ringing my doorbell. I’m a very paranoid and cautious person so immediately I was freaked out. I checked who it was and turns out it was my middle school crush! Now I haven’t spoken to him since middle school so this is very awkward.
I opened the door and let him in, asking stuff that most people would’ve asked in this situation like “What are you doing here?” and “It’s been so long, how are you?”. He was shaking a lot so I asked him what was wrong. He didn’t really say anything at first, but eventually he opened up to me. He tells me about how is life has been shit for how long and that he can’t take it anymore since he has no one to talk to. I started to think the worst, that he might kill himself. He asked to stay for the night and I said yes. I didn’t have a place for guests to stay in since I had lived a pretty solitary life at the time so he slept on the couch.
Flash forward a bit to midnight-ish and I hear lots of crashing and rummaging sounds. Once again, me being paranoid thinks someone just broke into my house. I look into my living room and see my friend seemingly looking for something. Now if I was close with him I would’ve went OFF, but I wasn’t so I was concerned about his mental health by now. I approached him and he is shaking like crazy. When I asked what he was doing he turned around to look at me and started sobbing. He walks over and starts hugging me and crying on my shoulder. I was then very uncomfortable but I liked it you know (middle school crush remember). I didn’t know what to do so I just hugged him back.
After around a minute or so he stopped crying and tells me he is going to the bathroom. I am very worried now and wait for him on my couch. After how long, he still hasn’t come out. I check and the door’s still locked. I open it with my keys and he’s not on the toilet. I instinctively open my shower curtains and there he is.
He had slit his throat with a knife he found somewhere in my kitchen
Someone who I haven’t talked to in 10 years had just killed themself in my bathroom.
Skipping all the boring stuff about calling 911, if I murdered him, blah blah blah, it ended up with me having to decide what to do with his body. I chose to let him be buried.
To this day it still fucks me up whenever I think about it. I could’ve stopped him and he might still be alive today. Where ever you are Henry, I hope your doing okay now.
That last part about "I could've stopped him" No you couldn't have. It's not your fault. You did what anybody would've done. A lot more, actually. I wouldn't have let someone I haven't talked to since middle school sleep on my couch.
SilverSmoke
Thanks for that, this is the first time I’ve told someone this story and knowing that it might’ve not been my fault helps a lot
You did so much more than you know. That’s a fucked thing to go through, but you handled it so much better than anyone could have. Stay strong ✌🏼
You did the best you could and its not your fault
Whos henry? The middle school crush? Im so confused, i thought you said he died, so how could.you wonder where he is or if hes.ok??

Ay. Blood is thicker than water doesn’t mean “family is stronger than friends.” The full phrase is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Essentially that relationships formed through choice are stronger than those through birth.
New fav quote
That's been debunked.
natkatmac well technically it is now true, as people are using it like that nowdays
What is true cannot be debunked now can it? And language and meanings change
So it is nowdays said like that so theres noting to debunk
Ive heard it also rephrased as that tho TBH
@@eemelisaurila9940 The 'full phrase' is new, true. What I have beef with is people claiming that it's centuries old and that the short phrase is the butchered one. Look around these video comments for that.
"Blood is thicker than water" means "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." It literally means that the ties we make when we make a commitment to one another are stronger than the ties that are forced upon us by being related.
Source? Google search says otherwise.
@@natkatmac maybe it's just an alternative interpretation
@サイレントボイス Kind of. The first inscription is from Reynard the Fox from Medieval Germany. "Kin-blood is not spoiled by water." I haven't read the epic so I don't know the context.
Though, fun fact, a Navy Commodore used the phrase as his reasoning for helping a British ship during the Second Opium War.
It’d be nice if that’s what it means tbh. Not that I don’t believe I just haven’t heard that before

2:50 was a great line. "Car can't go in reverse. Don't care, I'm only going forward anyway."
Honestly the timing of this video being posted seems like a sign
TiaHaruka0 that’s exactly what I was thinking. I wanted at least to know the next step, but honestly watching the video just left me more confused than to begin with. I want to believe in the idea that you can start fresh, but honestly I don’t know how realistic it is... kinda sucks
The secret... Getting to the point in your life where you don't care what has to be done... Feeling that anything that could happen from the point you step out the door could not be worse than what would happen (or what you would do to yourself) if you stayed in said situation a moment longer (or ever again). Balls to walls is a terrifying place to put a human being... for both parties engaged.
When your smallish hometown gets mentioned in one. Holy shit that felt weird

There’s a difference between being blood and family. These people might share your blood, but they aren’t family if they treat you like that.
The title is slightly different from the actual video. Still, great video :D
The title is the thread and the comments are the comments from said thread. The video is exactly what it says it is, people just keep telling adjacent stories that don’t answer the actual question.

So this isnt my story but my brothers but we've had a rough couple years since 2015 my mother has been dating an arse hole of a guy which me and my brothers and sister had to deal with for a long time he has physically abused us and mentally scared us as well but one day was a day i dont think i can forget,A chill evening im watching my brother play his video games with his friends enjoying himself as well with my little brother watching too, We're watching him play then my mothers boyfriend calls down my older brother to have him do something he may have forgotten to do as maybe something simple as a chore (dish in the sink,take the trash out etc.) Call him down and....... it went to hell so fast the previous night they had a little argument because they dont get along very well neither of us do soo, but he calls him down to yell at him for something he didnt do and sh*t escalated quickly and (we'll call him bob as my mothers bf) and bob grabs my brother and yanks him into a wall now keep in mind bob is like 35 my brother is 16 huge difference there puts a whole in the wall and continues to bang on my brother while im watching this from the top of my steps from my room and i call 9 1 1 while my mother is trying to get bob of my brother finally hes stops my brother walks outside and just keep walking while he was walking bob took his stuff and tossed it onto the porch (game,clothes,everything) and my brother hasnt been home since lives with his best friend of probably 6 years now and he's been doing amazing since that traumatic night works a part time job gets good money has money saved up for a car almost has his license ready and has a trip to Puerto Rico for his gf family and i really look up to him cuz my father hasnt been much help with the situation and that was abt 3 years ago so dont worry life has been pretty good since thanks for letting me share :)
I'm happy that you shared, it usually makes feel better to talk about such things. Have a good day, both you and your family!
R u still living in the same house as Bob
Actually, the one around 8:40 is my boyfriend. And I'm the girl his family was 100% against. :D
Ooohhhh
Lies
I know this isn’t reddit but I’ll tell my response here :
I left my old life 2 years ago and it had been the most difficult but best decision. My father had a tendency for kicking me out and then getting pissed when I would actually leave so he would call the police. They always caught me at school. Well he finally did it during summer and I took that opportunity to get the hell out. I was 15. My mom lived 16 hours away but somehow after about a month I convinced someone to drive me. And even though some negatives have happened I feel like if I hadn’t left he would have bullied me so badly to the brink of death. I’m still not in an amazing state but I just got an apartment with my partner of 8 months and right now I’m feeling good. So I say if you have the opportunity to leave a shit situation fucking grab that bitch by the balls.
gl with whatever you doing stranger!
clement to you as well!
I was in a really, REALLY bad relationship with my mother for years. Four years ago i realized i was done with her bullcrap after a huge argument. I was crying and said that I'll go for a walk to cool off. I took only my wallet, phone, charger and nothing else and just never came back, moving to a different city.
She didn't even message me after for once.
7:43 Actually it is but the full quote goes as follows:
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb"
Actually no it doesn't, stop believing shit you read on tumblr
Throne Deathfall actually yes it is, a two minute google search would tell you this. But it’s actually an old quote that actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Even though we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all.
Throne Deathfall family is what you make it. If it’s through genetics or friendship. It all depends on the circumstances
Mikasa Ackerman I did the 2 min search, it actually does refer to family, and how being across seas from them doesn’t weaken that bond.
Dude, these legit made me feel really awful. Each and every one of these people deserve any happiness they found.

Tbh the thought to run away is very appealing. I have nothing much to look forward to. Thinking about just getting in the car, driving in a direction , walking when the gas runs out, and just do whatever I want until I drop dead.
My mom lived in California, was in college, worked two jobs and was in a very abusive relationship. Her (obviously now ex) had smashed her table and that was the moment she decided enough was enough. She packed everything she could into her car, drove across the country to NJ to stay with her dad. She got a job, made new friends. Her friends asked her to go out for a night (two weeks into jersey) and that's when she met my dad and never looked back. Its been over 25 years:)
Can somebody help me figure out which poster is my dad?
lmao
@@Verschal what if they're not joking.
I think it's the one with the Abusive Mother... not surprising really. Unlike what they want you to believe, statistically women are more likely to be the aggressor in abusive relationships. But what they want is for the man to hit back and then the media becomes in a uproar and accuse the male. Disgusting really

These stories give me hope that I'll be okay when I run away from my abusive family. Thank you for posting this.
"Blood is thicker than water"
You know what else is thicker than water? Shit.
Just because it's thicker, doesn't mean it's better.
Yeah, and the original version of that saying is 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb' - meaning the exact opposite of what it means today. The bonds you choose are more important than the ones you're born into.
Tacita Koe “original version” :’)

7:30 “My grandma knows my parents are crazy.”
Someone with this family dynamic explain why your relatives don’t believe their own mother. In my experience, mothers ALWAYS know which of their kids turned out the craziest.
How did they get the money to escape? I love hearing these stories, but the pain of knowing no one is there to support you or catch you when you fall is soul crushing.
"Narcissistic Personality Disorder is more common in men than women"
"Men only abuse women"
Both sayings are completely incorrect in my opinion. Reading these people's experiences, most of the abusers are women, very narcissistic women, and most of the victims are men. I can relate to this. Most women in both my dad's side of the family and my mom's side of the family are narcissistic. My abusers have all been women. As a bisexual man, no male that I've dated treated me like dog shit, but the women I've dated have. Men that are victims never come out to admit it because society expects them to be emotionless. My mother abused both me and dad for so long, and we knew if we stood up for ourselves, we would be the ones in trouble, not her. I only know a few sane women in my life right now, my dad's gf and some friends that are girls.
Again this is my opinion, okay?
From what I've read, narcissism is somewhat equally spread throughout the population as a whole, but it tends to show more often in some bloodlines than others simply because people are incapable of standing up for themselves without fear of repercussions. More often than not, abusers are made from narcissists who have found somebody to control, not born independently of them.
you cant say a personality disorder being more/less common in a sex as an "opinion". a statistic is not an opinion. you are using a couple of personal stories to make a very general assumption.
Yeah it’s kinda a way for them to lie
:(
9:41
*"It isn't YOUR choice to move"*
That first story may one day happen to a cousin I know. Some woman told him he's the father and for like 2-3 years he was this kids dad. He moved to find better work opportunities and be closer to family in another state, and to my knowledge stated in contact with the mom and the kid. Well, him moving away and not being around, and her unwillingness to follow him probably lead her to finally reveal he wasn't the father and she got into contact with the real dad. I'm pretty sure the cousins name is on the kids records and if it one day turns out that this new guy isn't the father as well I can see the kid one day looking him up thinking he's the dad who left his mom. Even if still together the kid might make a phone call to talk to his father of 2-3 years.
Side note. This whole situation had made adamant about asking any girl I'm with in the future who gets pregnant, girlfriend or wife, for a paternity test. I get its probably insulting to the woman, but I wouldn't back down about this. If the relationship gets serious I'll probably bring it up before any planned or unplanned pregnancy and hope hearing about my cousin won't make them feel I don't trust them. Seriously, I'm not taking any chances.
A real woman should be able to accept that in my opinion. Especially if you tell them your intentions before they ever get pregnant
Thats dumb
i love reading these and understanding that random strangers can be more genuine kind and happy for you rather than your close ones
My mom went to the grocery store and hasn't been back for 7 years. I guess she still can't find the milk. Ha! I love my mom!

Hide and seek champion 18 years
My story isn't the exact same as the ones in this video. But I left my dad and his wife just before Thanksgiving during a therapy session.
Due to my dad giving my younger brother a concussion, custody changed from my dad to my mom for the first time in over 10 years since they divorced. We had been constantly abused physically, mentally and emotionally from my father nearly our entire lives. It's to the point where I have no self confidence, my brother and I both have depression, and I have severe social anxiety. After the custody change, we were assigned court ordered therapy to talk things out. During one session, my father, mother, brother, therapist and myself were all in the same room. My therapist I think was asking us what we're all thankful for since it was nearly Thanksgiving. I honestly couldn't remember what anyone said until I was spoken to, being asked to give my response. I looked around the room, into my dad's eyes and told him, "You said you could replace me with Dan (half brother) and that you could do it any time you wanted. Feel free to. I'm not going back." And I sprinted from the office into the downstairs bathroom. I nearly cackled with delight from what I did. It wasn't untill I was called by my mom that I left the room and hugged my mom and brother.
This was about three years ago, I haven't seen or talked to my dad since and I honestly couldn't be happier, my mind may not be as stable as I wish it was but it's better than when I was there.
4:27 hope he thanked that friend like, *a lot*
Yeah
not surprised that many of these are because of abusive women
@Lavish
....what does gender have to do with this
@@kae2818 you always here about a man being abusive but you never here how women can be abusive to men and this brings it to light
It’s actually really interesting. It may be because this is how men deal with abuse compared to women, which is why this subreddit has a male focus. But regardless, a lot of the mothers/girlfriends/etc. In this thread sound awful.
Lavish If someone were to comment this about there is a lot of men, they wouldn't be able to hear the end of how it's all feminist BS. Gender really has nothing to do with this, both genders can be equally horrible.
Women are more likely to abuse their children
This makes me wanna run away though I have no reason to lmao
Username checks out
4:41 imagine chilling in your house and your friend from 5 states away shows up and wants to crash on your couch
as someone who's lived abusive with family all my life and plans to move out soon this was the most motivating and satisfying video i've ever watched.
Don't daydream about it. Sit down and plan things out and make preparations (get a job, save up money, etc.). Best of luck.
Gonna prank my dad when he comes home!
Day 818: Gonna prank my dad when he comes home
i wish i was in a situation to where i could leave. My mom gets emotionally and a little verbally abusive. And she drinks at least five beers a night. If i could leave i would. I would do almost anything. but i cant (legally or without causing a scene). props to you all for having balls enough to get out. Always remember all types of abuse are abuse, you are not invalid.
This was a lot more inspiring than I thought it would be.
I was actually expecting more of these stories to be ones where a person ditched their spouse after having a child with them because they weren't ready to be a parent yet and went on to regret leaving, but never having the stones to go back.
I have a story of my own. I was super depressed and a harmer. I even had my suicide planned for December 13th 2017. And an old friend reconnected with me. He found out my depression had worsened over the years and convinced me to move halfway across the US and live with him and some buddies. I did. I told my mom I was going to spend the weekend with my grandma the next town over (15 min away). I went over there. Dyed my hair, cut it short (not in that order) and had my older sis take me an hour in the opposite direction so I could catch a bus. Why'd I leave? My mom was emotionally abusive and manipulative and had just married a man who kept trying to force me to pay rent when I worked a minimum wage job and already payed for my own food and did chores. Would progressively take my things if I didn't apply for 5 jobs a week. Last straw was when he took the TV out of my room. I was 19. I'm 21 now and I guess me showing I had the balls to up and leave was enough to put them in their place cause now they treat me the same as my sister. (I had to move back to my home state for reasons.)
5:58 Can we get a round of applause for this grandma
don't mind me, just looking for my dad here lmao
"Sometimes I see people I used to know, and sometimes they recognize me, but mostly I just keep to myself and spend time with better people than those I left years ago."
I think I'm in the middle of one of these sentences right now =(
I can hardly even keep hearing this. The bravery and courage these people have.
I feel like I just watched a sad AMV. Anyone that’s going through tough times just know that one day it will all get better
OP lookin for his dad, also WHERE DID YOU COME FROM WHERE DID YOU GO, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM ABANDONING PERSON
Where did you come from, Where did you go, Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe
*Banjo banjo banjo*
@@cecilyvincent6173 thank you. You made my day
*Banjo intensifies*
@@chaytonnnn no prob your comment made mind:)
It can be a real eye opener to here someone's life story so unfiltered but it is what it is. My parents were strick but cool, I remember thinking that I cried to my parents for cool shoes in middle school, so immature and spoiled. If you ever get a chance to see the world, do it. It will change your prospective.
Man the family stories make me so grateful for my family.
That all happiness thing just made me wanna leave home
Me: *sees title*
Also me: *makes joke about missing dad*
Everyone: 😂👌
I was with my friend the day her mother decided to abandon her and her family. We were around 8 or 9 years old and I still remember perfectly when her mom said "I'll go to get a new haircut, I'll get back in a few hours"
When it was getting late we started to worry, we spent the rest the day searching in every hairdressing, until all of them closed, asking if they had seen her mother and all of them said no. A few days later they got kicked out of their house (the owners were my friend's aunts, how can you leave your 8 y/o niece without a home??).
Years later her mom returned, and told her she left her bc of her drug addiction and promised her that wouldn't happen again. The promise lasted 2 months... My friend hasn't seen her mom ever since
But now my friend is happier, her father stopped taking drugs, he got a job and is a really good and tolerant father. And she has a lots of friends and is loved by everyone :) she's really kind-hearted, it's impossible not to love her
I feel so bad for all these people. Having an awful home life is something I can't imagine living through. You all have my sympathies.
I wish I could give every one of these posters a hug.
I am with you. +1hug to everyone from me.
The guy who left Pasco Washington surprised me. Pasco is in the tri cities, which consists of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland. I live in Kennewick
Me too I live in Richland near costco

Rachel Fajardo I lived here for a year and mostly I seen mostly Hispanics in pasco

You go my dude! Hope you’re still living a happy life!
We need more people like this who publish happy content it makes me feel better and forget about life problems keep up the good work
Happy?! Did we watch the same video?
Dear dad, may this day be as free of parental responsibility as ever other day of the year for you.
Imagine thinking youre about to roast your dad, just to find out your mom was actually sleeping around and somehow couldnt find the real biological dad... how upsetting.
That kid held a grudge for 16 years only to find out he had been hating the wrong person his entire life.
Wow. I'm glad I came from a loving family. Nothing but love and support in my family.
These kind of comments and videos make me incredibly grateful for the life and familial relationships I have. My heart goes out to so many people in difficult situations.
why did you leave, where did you go. where did you come from cottoneyedjoe
I walked out on my dad during an argument last year. He and his wife (my step mother) were screaming at me because I used my computer to write stories instead of work (for reference I was 19, and am currently 20). I got so tired of their shit that I just got up from the couch, and walked out the door. I ended up getting a ride from one of the neighbors who saw me sprinting down the block, and I got taken to my friend's house.
Currently, I live with her and her family as well. They treat me wonderfully and I finally graduated from community college this past Spring. I hope to move on to University as well. I've spoken to my dad and his wife a couple of times, but now have his number blocked on my phone because he started to harass me about not spending time with him more. Not a long epic saga, but it was quite the experience!
This made me a big sad. Also really enjoyed the music. Reminds me to tell my parents I love them as much as possible.
the story at 7:47 hit me hard because i love my father and he is a caring man to me and my family, and to just see that someone lived longer and knew nothing about their own father hits in a way i cant explain
I get so irrationally angry when people say "blood is thicker than water" because that's _not the right quote_
When I'm older, I'm planning on doing this. Cutting off all contact with my family.
If that's what you think is the best thing to do for your own health and future, do it.
I did that with my dad a few years ago. When I’ve saved up enough money and I’m done with school I want to either move the L.A. or NYC. I don’t have a great relationship with my mom either but she’s no where near as disgusting as my father. Anyways I don’t know how to pay bills, set up a bank account or really live on my own. I also don’t want to leave my friends and my pets behind. I’m sick about everything and I don’t really know how to get out on my own.
Hello Updoot Everything, I'm new here and I wanted to say that YOU'RE the magnificent one. I really liked the end clip 🥰 thank you, Peace and hugs man❤Lily❤
I found this very cathartic. I can relate in different ways to many of these.
