I have PTSD (physical abuse), & those panic attacks are no joke, especially when you're driving! Prayer, breathing exercises, & medication have helped...counseling is forthcoming. God Bless you for telling your story! 👍🏽💯🤗
"Me too!" So sorry what happened to you. I get it. Thank you for sharing your story. More men should tell their story. Some folks think it only happens to girls/women. So NOT true. And, there is no closure - no matter what we do.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm a survivor as well. I like how this family was open and showed their children how to deal with this abuse. My mother denied it, called me a liar. I have been hurting for years.
You are the strongest person honestly. I respect your honesty and openness in speaking your full truth. You are honestly a breath of fresh air, setting people free in sharing your truth, healing, and seeing beyond negative structures and still living a positive life. You are amazing and awesome.
Thank you David. Your words hit home with me and your positivity is inspiring. Almost all of the feelings that you described were the very same as mine over the years. Thank you for making me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. 🙏🏽❤️
Jesus can heal you and save you. He really cares about you! To get saved so you can go to heaven, pray to him, put your faith and belief in Jesus. Confess to him that you’re a sinner (we all are) and ask him to forgive all your sins and to come into your life and save you. Realize that God rose Jesus from the dead and he’s alive now. Confess Jesus is Lord with your mouth and believe it in your heart and you will be saved!
I watched this particular case I'm utterly in tears just running down my. I feel for this man 💔 💙😭 I'm a victim of sexual abuse it happen 9 years ago. He's a truly an inspiration he's a TRUE DEFINITION OF A REAL 💯💯💯💯 MAN !!!
I truly respect you for this, I went through the same thing with two different people different times and it was horrible and still can’t seem to get over it because it still haunts me, the things I went through as a child and as a teenager 😞 honestly this makes me want to make a video about all of the things I went through to bring awareness to others, this video brought me so many flashbacks
You can tell your kids abstinence is best. I know they are older. My husband went to a hotel when my daughter had a sleepover. He was abused,but he never talks about his abuse. God is awesome and he helps us to forgive and live.
He needs to tell someone. Just because he looks fine on the outside doesn’t mean he is. Turn to Jesus for everlasting life, a great relationship with him and healing
Amazing. So good to know there are great men such as yourself in this world. Your story really blessed me.... Thank you so much for all your clarity, wisdom, and openness. You remind me of my brother-in-law. He's the only decent man I've ever really known. I, too, am a survivor and I deal with issues daily. God is Good. Its a process... and without my Faith I know I couldn't/wouldn't make it. BUT GOD!!!
Asthma attacks can be caused by anxiety / panic attacks (personal experience). May God bless this precious man and help him to heal. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds. Thank you, sir, for sharing your story!
I had never thought of this. I suffered with sever asthma attacks while living with my parents so many dr visits and now I dont use any medication I have no attacks I live with my husband and our children. My abuser used to live right across the street from us. My parents still talk to him and they know but whatever my children and myself dont go near them.
DEFINITELY an old soul, and I just love him for telling his story. I suffered an extremely traumatic situation at age 35. Before that, I used to believe people who said they suffered from anxiety and panic attacks were just weak. So i now joke that God decided that it was time for me to have a little humility. Panic attacks are just the worst. The worst thing ever. They have leveled out pretty much now. I am 42 years old presently, but panic attacks are the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. I would rather be in natural child labor...that's how uncomfortable they are. So I relate to this man very much with the driving scenario, and not being able to be in crowds. Doesn't work for me anymore. I wish this guy every happiness.
I know male family members that have been assaulted as kids... told me they thought it was there fault. 2 of my cousins broke down in front of me talking about it. They have had sooooo many issues. More men need to speak out so they can heal!
Very strong individual. this happened to my dear husband and he killed himself at age 54. The damage is real and has a ripple effect. Now i live with this loss for the rest of my life
Very Sad, what happened too you David, It’s harder for Men too talk about, stuff that happens too them, I can see that as time went by it made you a stronger person, and a very Productive, Father your Children 👶 Are and feel safe with a Dad like you, You have got yourself a beautiful Wife, great Family life, God is taking care of you...God bless....🌹🍀🍀🍀
Yes! you are getting through! Myself too, from sexual, physical and mental abuse as a child on up compounded with abusive treatment in adult life. But forgiveness of self first, is a powerful tool on the road to recovery and 'discerning' what to work on. Hate the stereotypes, they can be hindrances.
You have found very positive ways to process and cope...good for you. Great words of advice. I hope these years later, you are still doing well. Blessings.
You are an incredible and inspirational man. You have overcome so much with such positivity and dignity. Your family are extremely blessed to have you. You are such a great man with such faith. I wish you all the best. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!
Thank you for sharing your story from the masculine. I've found reversing the negative scripting supports me to heal so when I think of those statements such as "don't let know one touch you" I flip them to a positive statements which can be said out loud "no one has the right to touch me negatively" or "I am for positive touching" the more this is recited, with the same or greater intensity/frequency that it was heard, then the sooner it heals in me at a cellular level.
THANK YOU FOR THE RESPECT I FELT SIR. FOR YOUR DIGNITY, YOUR SERIOUSNESS, YOUR ACCEPTANCE, YOUR WHOLENESS, YOUR UNDERSTANDING, YOUR CALMNESS, YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR MESSAGE OF SALVATION AND HOPE. I SAW THIS VIDEO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. ON THE WAY.
You are a good man, a good father, a good husband, a good person, a good friend. What about a hug, what about a massage, what about just holding someone's hand and deep breathing. It's gonna be alright, we got this. GOD is right beside you and gives you peace. Be still and KNOW that GOD is the powerful I AM.
My Mothers father was a pedophile ( now deceased ) My Mom grew up in a home of 6 girls. I suspect some or all were abused but my mother would never confirm this. My mom had 3 daughters and one son. My oldest sister was abused by my mothers father. My sister told my mother and she was mad but did nothing about it. We still had to stay in the home and nothing was done. I was not even informed it happened and was told about it when I was older.. My Mom's father tried to do something with me and my cousin unexpectedly came in the room and I who was very young at the time about 5 got up and ran out. My cousin coming in the room saved me from anything severe happening. I never told anyone until I was older and my family acted like it was no big deal. I am now 61. The haunting never leaves you. I think what disturbs me most is people in the family knew we were at risk and didn't protect us. In the past month my sister and I spoke about this and she who was even abused stands up for my mother. Its so disturbing to me that she accepts it and she told me I should too.
Sometimes It Happens to US Because God Knows the We will Break The Cycle of Abuse And Shame With OUR Children!!❤️❤️🙏🏽God Bless You Brother And Your Family
ty mr david. this helps to understand not only child abuse but any childhood trauma and the effects on one's life. i am so happy you are a strong good man spreading the message. i also use jedi tricks to protect mines too!
Where is the anger and the self pity? He was man enough to rise above the tragedy he experienced and move on even in spite of the damage he is still having to deal with. Makes me realize i have nothing to whine about. Much respect to a real hero.
Amen. I have such hard feelings about parents who blame or disbelieve their child. I cannot wrap my head around it. The very people charged with protecting that child, harming them in such a core way.
Thank you David for sharing your story. God saw what that man did to you he is the ultimate judge and will handle people who sexual abuse children. People need to let their children come to them with coming to them with these issues. This will stop this ish before it starts and all parents should be able to stomp sexual abusers into a coma without criminal prosecution.
What a sweetie. And a good Daddy. Very inspiring. I hope he can come to closure. Leave it in God's inbox. He will bring justice. Understanding why the world is so wicked, and what God's purpose is for the near future will ease the pain. We don't have to grow old and die to see God's purpose. He promises to cleanse the earth of wickedness. The whole bible has this message. You can see it even in the Lord's Prayer. Matthew 6:10 "your kingdom (government) come, your WILL (or his purpose and desire) be done, as [it is] in heaven, also UPON THE EARTH. No violence, no sexual abuse, no injustice and no death in heaven. Revelation 21:3-5. So we pray his government, by means of his son, King Jesus Christ bring those same conditions on earth. And the rest of the prayer is asking for help for us to endure until it arrives. Daniel 2:44. Psalms 37:9-11,29. Peace to you sir.
The boy was father was raising in his home where I lived didn’t molest me but when he used to tickle me he used to rub his private against me and I never said anything 🙈😰🤬 that’s why I protect my kids with everything in me!
Thank you sooo much for sharing your story. I’m so glad you were able to talk to your wife and that she could be there for you. God bless your continued efforts. I was molested and later raped as a teen. What you said is so right. People don’t understand how damaging it is for the person. It’s not a single act or something that you can put away. It effects your whole being.
God bless this awesome gentlemen, he's a great father, husband and human being,he turned around what he went through and made good out of it and that's hard when you've been so deeply hurt, so honestly I wish you and your beautiful family the best of this world and all the happiness and peace in the world, cause you so deserve it 😊💖💖💖
Wow. I have been binging this channel and I must say... David speaks in a way that makes me feel he is telling my story. The part about being abused may cause people to wonder if you are an abuser.... my worst fear is someone to imagine I would abuse a child. My goal in life is to raise my own children and protect and educate children around the world.
He was not O.K. he tells the varying stages of dealing in effectively with this. So many problems, so much disfunction. It causes life long problems. Heavenly Father help us.
Hearing from a man is critical. God bless him.
I agree, so important.
Yesssss
I have PTSD (physical abuse), & those panic attacks are no joke, especially when you're driving! Prayer, breathing exercises, & medication have helped...counseling is forthcoming. God Bless you for telling your story!

A true example of taking back your power and courageous enough to speak out .👍👍🙏❤️
Advanced being! 😇
Wow, so this is what it's like to have a loving father...maybe my next lifetime. What a man!
🙏
God bless you David. This is a very moving and transparent video

I pray this helps someone listening to this right now. God bless this gentleman and his heart. May he continue to heal him.
You are indeed the man, the true definition of a man.

I wish my kids had a dad like you. Thank you brother.
You're so brave and strong and are helping so many others heal David!
oh lord now i have to watch my children from predators until they get to 16!
@@veronicamorgan6916 why are you saying 16? I would NEVER stop protection.
I’m 41 years old and still hurting I’m still crying I never get closer I never gotten to really sit and tell someone my story I have numerous panic
🙏
If you can,start by writing. Write every day. It doesn't matter what you write about,you never have to show a soul. Take this first step. Heal well.
Jesus can heal you and save you. He really cares about you! To get saved so you can go to heaven, pray to him, put your faith and belief in Jesus. Confess to him that you’re a sinner (we all are) and ask him to forgive all your sins and to come into your life and save you. Realize that God rose Jesus from the dead and he’s alive now.

@@amberrose1108 why was it allowed to happen? Your "god" failed to protect him at such an vulnerable age.
I'll pray for you. I'm so sorry... It stays with you for life but does get easier....
A real man. That's all that needs to be said about David Moody. An inspiration on so many levels. God bless.
I appreciate the way he articulates his experiences with hope.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm so proud of your life time of recovery.

Dude took it by the reins and took control. You are the man, Moody. This is victory.
David spoke right to my heart. This has helped me SO much & has given me some guidance. Thank you David. You are amazing.

Thank you for having the strength and character to expose this. It helps so many.
Great story I wish I knew this man when I lived in Lithonia very inspirational and a good man many should hear this
Worst thing a doctor can tell someone who has panic attacks is you are fine.
Very strong individual. this happened to my dear husband and he killed himself at age 54. The damage is real and has a ripple effect. Now i live with this loss for the rest of my life
sad to hear that.
Sometimes someone speaks & it just resonates through you. 👐💞

Ethna Lee That's not correct, abuse is a silent crime that even women open don't talk about.

I'm so afraid of somebody hurting my son that I don't trust no man around him.😔
Thts d fear I av for my daughter..
@Kathryn Dorsey exactly. And because society really doesn't see them as a threat, they're easily undetectable.
The boy was father was raising in his home where I lived didn’t molest me but when he used to tickle me he used to rub his private against me and I never said anything 🙈😰🤬 that’s why I protect my kids with everything in me!

OH MY GOSH ----tthe muscle twitching. That happens to me. Thank You Jesus i am not alone on that one.
Your channel shines so bright...🙏💛
He was not O.K. he tells the varying stages of dealing in effectively with this. So many problems, so much disfunction. It causes life long problems.
Heavenly Father help us.
Strong, strong and brave.
He definitely did it to others, but it is in no way your fault! I hope he was caught and punished.
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing.
