  • Lots of people have asked for this video over the past 10 years. I've wanted to make it, as well. But I've tried and tried and never was able to get it done. I finally sat down today determined to film it and here it is. I talk about my childhood and some of the awful things I went through. I talked about my mom and what it was like to live with her. I show you a few good examples of the abuse I was dealing with.

    I think what's most triumphant and inspiring is how you have broken the cycle of what seemed to be a generational pattern of abuse. Mental disorders and all, the choices you have made post-childhood have set into motion a new age of understanding and empathy for your future family. And, of course, the friends you've made and will continue to make. You are a treasure to all, and an apt example of the true measure of a man. Peace to you, brother ♥ Keep liking you.

      Eh, sorry, but what cycle did he break? Sounds like he lost to the cycle, and the cycle broke him. Pretty sure he doesn't have any generations he's raised in a non abusive household. If he had kids, maybe he would destroy and ruin them? I doubt it, but in his mind he feels that way. Sounds like he was defeated by the abuse.

      Ultimate Russianman my mom was horrible like this for a while. Until she found the power of god she became one of the most caring people in my life. Before she would threaten to turn on the stove and put my ear on it and burn it. Or she would threaten to leave me on the side of the road and not comeback. But i just found out a day or two ago, it was before i could remember she caused so much damage to my dads house brought random people over to destroy it. Finally they got a divorce but she made him get two jobs so he could afford the child support but one day he went over and knocked on the door and my little sister said she would get the door but my mom told her not too. And he got her to cancel the child support. I moved with him and now we have a great house and everything i could have asked for and my mom is living a better life, side note we didnt have much at my moms. Ever since she found god and got a better mental state she has been getting a better income and having more things for my sisters. And thats why i thank my mom, my father, and god.

    You probably won't see this but about 8 years ago from today, you made a video about suicide. I just got away from home and enlisted in the service where I had many bad thoughts and couldn't bare what I was going through. I owned many forms of firearms and was gonna make the ultimate mistake. I saw your video and the words you said truly put my mind at ease and allowed me to contemplate things the way they should without the PTSD/Anxiety weighing me down. Today, I'm still in the service and just bought an nice house. I'm very happy and have many friends. I've lost many including my mother to an unfortunate accident but I've learned to be strong and carry on, I even dedicate most weeks to charity's which I learned to love. Just wanted to say thank you Boogie as I am one more person that wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you and so glad you still create these types of videos as they truly do help those out there.

      Thank you. It's so painful coming from an abusive home, then seeing people show no appreciation for how great their parents are because of a few imperfections. It's so painful seeing people act like what their parents do is the bare minimum and they want more. I have no doubt your parents have flaws, but they're doing their best. So make sure they remember that. Make sure they KNOW you appreciate all they've done for you.

      Forgiveness isn't for the other person, it's for you. If you don't forgive, you carry that with you. The other person isn't affected by your lack of forgiveness, other than they can't control you anymore. I had a lesser experience than Boogie did, but at 24 I finally forgave my parents and I have felt so much lighter since then. They don't know I forgave them because it was for me and myself only. I occasionally speak to them and I willingly spend time with them during the holidays when the rest of our extended family is there because they can't make me feel bad and my extended family is incredible. But yeah, rambling. Forgiveness is for your own mental health.

      @@julknowl thanks for the common sense, really! Hopefully most ppl can truly understand what you said.
      Too bad some of us can't forgive & mend ourselves 100% though... Because, in the end, I guess that's what you have to do to be able to forgive others.
      Personally, I'm unhappy just because I am a human😑 not sure if there's any hope for me, even if I never went through something especially bad/extreme (I always try to learn through others' mistakes and experiences anyway, doesn't have to happen to me - though that would make matters more difficult, obviously). My own parents helped me see how much better I am than them, in that I'm not as petty or immature, but also how powerless in front of their ego. As much as I despise cynicism and nihilism, their (and almost everyone else's) selfishness, stubbornness, short-sightedness, etc. have made me slightly -well, I control it- cynical myself... I can hardly trust humans in general (but that's a lesson to be learned anyway, humans suck, generally speaking). It's funny in what ways your parents shape you and how they can make you feel guilty of certain things even when you know you aren't guilty and it's their fault. Perhaps that's why I can't forgive them completely. In conjunction with the fact that I still live with one of them, lol - how can you move on when situation stays more or less the same?
      But, I'll have to be more thorough than this and see a therapist about it😅
      Either way, I *love* this kind of videos, about psychology, depression, traumas, etc., and the comments you can find under them! I used to chat a lot about such matters, so it's kinda nostalgic as well to me, not just therapeutic.

    Taking into account everything your mom has done to you, I doubt anyone would blame you for pissing on her grave. Hell, with all due respect and as cruel as it sounds, if that was me I'd probably throw a celebration. What's really incredible to me is, you chose not to do any of those things. On her dying bed, you decided you were going to love yourself and forgive her. It's irrelevant whether you believed your words or not -- you CHOSE to show love to someone who hatefully abused you mentally and physically. That takes strength and it's strength I'm working towards now.

      @WhiteIce2112 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know a lot of people would be like "I would have stood up" and shit. But we didn't grow up being abused, we are "normal." When he and many other people were growing up, they were different because of this abuse. Standing up to someone is impossible at times, and as he said he only did it by accident from reflex, realizing he actually COULD do something.

    • @Lousigpi25
      @Lousigpi25 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You say you would stand up to her and it's easy to think I would do the same. However, when you put yourself in those shoes it's entirely different because you would have grown up differently and your brain would have developed differently. Yes I agree monsters like that should be taken away but it was also a different time. Nowadays if you went to most school all bruised and fucked up they would immediately know something is wrong and do something about it. So yeah it's easy to say you would just put that monster down, but you really can't know what you would do if the shoe was on the other foot. I'm just glad to see Boogie has broken that cycle of abuse and doesn't let it define the person he is today.

      @LilChuunosuke 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      His story with public services is a very common one, I'm sad to say. As someone who comes from an abusive home, who read and listened to many stories of abuse victims to remind myself it wasn't my fault I was abused, and as someone in an online support group for victims of abuse, the letdown by public services is an everyday occurrence that needs to be fixed. I've not only had mandatory reporters tell me repeatedly I was making up my abuse for attention, but I've had them tell me that if I claimed any sort of physical abuse, they would call my abuser and tell them of the accusations "so you can talk things out with them".
      And I consider myself lucky. Because my parents never once found out about the dozen reports I made of their abuse. I've heard many stories of the abuse actually being reported and either someone from CPS or DCF comes to the home to "help talk it out", then just leaves after for the child to be beaten as punishment for letting someone find out, or they take the child into custody, decide the abuse isn't bad enough (including one story I heard of an 11 year old getting 3rd degree burns on their back from their parents forcing them to "mow the lawn" with safety scissors on the hottest day of summer), then just tosses them back into the home.
      To say America's public service system for abuse victims is broken is the biggest understatement I've ever made in my entire life. Reporting a child being abused will only make them suffer severe punishments for their abuse 99% of the time. And on the rare occasions they get out of their abusive home, they get moved into a different, horrible living situation. Reporting abuse only puts a victim of abuse in more danger. The entire system needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from scratch. There needs to be severe legal punishments for not reporting abuse or deciding a child isn't abused when there was sufficient evidence of said abuse. The system now only puts them in more danger.

But I don't think that takes away from how much I sympathise with you and how much I respect you for who you've become. I don't know how you are as a person, I only know what I see and hear, but to go through that and still be able to set goals and live a relatively normal life, it's very impressive. It shows strength that I always thought you had.

My mom didn’t physically abuse me, but she did a lot of reckless/unhealthy living, not listening to her doctors etc, that would make any child worry about their parents. She knew that out of me and my younger brother, I was the worry wart, I was the son that was there with her the countless times she was hospitalized. She end up dying at only 61 from congestive heart failure/COPD

    Have you ever considered writing a book on this? I can understand if you find it too difficult to relive those moments, but I think it would help a lot of men/young boys who are being abused by women to not think of themselves as 'weak', but get out there and seek help.

      Aaron McGuire yeah, that's exactly what I did. But my life wasn't filled with nearly as much violence as his was. My parents treated me like garbage, made me work at 13 doing 12 hr shifts almost daily, offering me no respect for my efforts to help the family in our time of need. They always said that we dont respect them (me and my siblings) but everyone's definition of respect is unique. theirs basically saying you are their slave, who nods their head and does what he is told. I was mocked by my own parents. Made fun of by my own parents infront of other people and my relatives. I was undermined as a person as a whole. Then however, I started to pay attention to society and school. Looking at how the past social lifestyle differed from the present. After finding out the distinct differences between my parents culture and mine (Indian born vs Indian american born) I was angered, and fo rd ced my self to educate on the ethical, civil, and truly mutual form of respect normal people have these days. I dont give a single fuck of who says anything anymore, be it a relative or a stranger or my close family. I started to stand up and talk back, which often led to lots of fights and arguments and lectures and being called a failure. But I was and still am glad to be called a disrespectful failure if I dont have to live like a donkey. If wrong, change it.
