    I didn’t know much about Viet, but this is making me respect him on a whole new level. So admirable to hear how he rose above and left so much trauma behind.

    Viet is so incredibly strong like seriously, running away and realizing the abuse wasn’t normal and that he deserved a better life, I’m so glad he’s better now

    Viet Trap's story is tragic but it feels like they all downplayed the trauma that his sister had being not just physically but also sexually abused by their father. No one mentioned how degrading and humiliating it must have felt for her, as a CHILD, to tell CPS she was getting raped and molested by her own father, only to be hooked up to a lie detector to recount her abuse and relive it all over again. The commentators were even agreeing that it was necessary for her to be hooked up to a lie detector. Adults doubting children when they say they are being sexually abused is the main reason why these abusers continue their abuse and are never caught.

      I think they didn’t focus on it because it’s her story to tell and not Viets. They weren’t saying that it was necessary more that it was understandable for cps to do that, most people know that cps is shit. Plus lie detectors aren’t admissible in court which is probably why cps didn’t do anything.

    I just want to give Viet a hug… I really appreciate the Sweetea boys for doing this very deep, emotional podcast episode. You usually don’t get this type of content, to this extent of real life matters being brought into light of what people go through. Being Vietnamese myself, I feel like I understood Viet and I truly heard him. Again, thank you to the Sweetea boys for basically raising awareness so that other people can get a sense of realness. You guys always can put humor in topics that are tough to hear about. Much love for you guys and Viet 🤍

    As a soon to be teacher, I am going to have to agree with this. A lot of us are underpaid for sure. Never realized how much teachers actually did until going to school for it. Not all teachers, just to clarify that. BUT there def are quite a few out there that put their heart and soul into teaching. That’s why I am making it an effort now to learn to pick up on those signs that students experience and bring to the classroom. Not just physical signs of abuse and neglect, but social and emotional ones, as well, because they are for sure out there, we just have to have the proper knowledge, awareness, and training to know where to look. Hope to touch a few souls and hearts out there for people like Viet, who deserve the care and respect he sadly did not receive as a child, both at home and within public systems that should have supported him. Proud of this young man, big things coming for him for sure. All the best to him and to Sweatea, u guys are awesome for putting a podcast like this particular one together :)

    Na cuz this podcast has me in tears because one I can relate to some of this and two it’s really good to see a man actually come out and speak about abuse and what they go through in general .. because ik there is a lot of men that keep that inside.

    I work for APS, which is for adults and it’s actually kind of wild the things I hear on CPS side.
    I constantly have to go to therapy for secondary trauma. Seeing this just pushes me to investigate even harder because you never know.

    Watching this really hit home for me from my childhood, watching it and hearing about it just reminds me how mine wasn’t all unicorn and rainbows like everyone else was you feel like you can’t really talked to anybody bc you feel trapped and seeing how he is doing so much better makes me think that we really can accomplish stuff tough situations rather it be alone or with people I’m so happy for him

  • @macyc9043

    I came from a broken home my dad was a junkie and alcoholic abusive towards me siblings mother. for years til this day i stopped talking to him for about six years now. That affected my relationship with my parents friends relationships it’s a lot of trauma that I’m still overcoming by talking to a therapist. That situation made grow up to be a very humble and kind individual it takes a lot of strength to get out of that situation he’s very strong and look at him how I’m happy he is a good place. Many hugs to you

Growing up in a Mexican house hold getting hit for who knows what reason just taking it because he was my “dad” and felt like I had to because I had too and it’s brought up conflict in my life today associated with the wrong people because they felt comforting and ok when I’m reality nobody can care for you more than YOU can! And I love you for that ♥️ #GETRICHBABY

    You know you lived a somewhat sad life in your eyes when growing up when you say your parents/the things you saw are everything you didn't want to be/do. The example of what not to be.
    Edit : crazy how much i relate to him my situation wasn't the same but it's just crazy bro your parents make or break you. Have and had the same mindset i want to die and would do things but i could never bc i was scared so i always have the same mindset i prefer someone to kill me instead. My friends are everything to me and psychoanalyzing myself i think i relate it to the fact growing up i was and am still back and forth never belonging anywhere and literally being told it and with family being tough and all.... Friends are like family. I'm not scared to fight but i would rather be passive when it comes to me but friends i have fought for before and i don't care. Blood relations have no value to me bc general and specific situation to myself. Obv i have blood i care about but if you're a good friend you're the best next thing to family. Saying he'll imagine dying like a martyr. It's crazy how in common we are. Martyrs people who spoke their personal truth and beliefs and died for it
    I get him
    He's definitely intelligent and growing as a individual and i hope anyone who watches this, stumbles upon him, or this comment knows that and doesnt doubt him. Wishing him health and success (:
