I'm a mother of 6 adult children and Kirk doesn't owe us anything!!!!! Kirk is a man, husband, and father, HE's not GOD! Stop upholding to standards you can't hold yourself. Nothing but love for you Kirk.
He’s not God, but he’s a public figure and he should hold some kind of standard. He’s mad mad because everyone has a Skelton in the closet. Kirk been dealing with demons this is just another one! Do not anger your children, honor your parents, but give them something to honor!
You said it, "stop trying to give your kids more of what you didn't have. Instead, give them more of what we did have!" I can't tell you how timely this message is. Bless you.
Thank You Mr. Smiley for Giving this ENORMOUS message of Reality and Love. Everyday I have an example or just a comparison for my kids about Back then ( growing up the 80's) and today. I try to show, tell, and be the example my parents were for me. Believe me that sometimes I'll tear up or actually cry when I think of how Desensitized the youth is nowadays. No empathy, No respect, No consideration, No Shame, etc. The simple act of helping one another is almost extinct. Let's Stop Co-signing other people's BS and Hold those guilty of BS Accountable. Much Love to Everyone God bless you All.
I lost my mother when I was 12yrs old and I still have a hard time with that loss but I was blessed to be raised by the BEST DAD on the planet and lost him almost 5yrs ago 🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢. Anyone who still have both their parents living, you’re truly blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My wonderful daddy told me at the age of 14: “I have only ONE wife. You (the child) get what you need; you will get a job for the things you want. Your mom (the wife) gets what she needs AND what she wants. When you get grown, make sure you either provide both for yourself or marry a man who will do both for you.” This was the BEST lesson my dad could have ever lovingly taught me.
@@dreamchaser5758 I did....I understood that: #1: no one owed me anything #2 anything given to me was out of the kindness of folks hearts, and not their duty. #3 to work hard to earn the life I want...... and I have definitely done that and live what I consider a “charmed” life.
He's a singer, entertainer and in ministry. However first he's a man, husband and father. Raising grown children is still a challenge. No apology needed for me Mr. Franklin.
" Raising grown children " ? The very statement is an oxymoron . Unless these " grown children " haves some type of debilitating handicap then the act of raising should have ceased .
as a christian when a sin is made public by us, and witnesses prove it is true, you should publicly apologize, so Kirk did right there, if it was not made public, then he only needed to apologize to God and his son privately ,and his son to him and God, and try at least to work out their differences, if possible. If a christian publicly sins and refuses to repent, that sends a message to the world, why should they accept Jesus and repent, when christians are out their cussing their sons and fathers out, and then refusing to acknowledge it is wrong, or. apologize. Jesus started his ministry with repent for the kingdom of God is at hand, and in these last days, we need to repent, forgive those that wrong us, get rid of grudges, and follow the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, as time is running out, and judgement starts at the house of the Lord first, before the world. So I applaud Kirk for manning up, and being responsible for his actions, that could have been us, and we need to do the same, and then move on. I pray dearly, for both father and son.
Gotta quit trying to be their friend..parent's today are afraid of their own kid's..& like you said Smiley they kill their parents for money .Like the Mendez brother's..parent's also buy the kids gifts & money because they're ar work all the time. This era is a sad affair.. parents cant discipline their kids or they'll go to jail..shoot these kids need a good old fashioned whip that behind..we made it...just saying...
Yes, I knew that Rickey was going to bring the Truth! I'm 42, seeing and knowing how hard my mother worked and sacrifices for me, I will never! These youngsters now days are ruined. Mine jump and flinch when I walk pass.And then I grab and hug and kiss them. But they don't have fear anymore.
Family is still my bad disrespectful kids if that's the case and God created the family and we all need to repent and turn away from sin and pray if we really want God to fix it. No pride
My dad died i was 11 years old a year later at12 years old my mom passed,it breaks my heart to see kids being disrespectful and ungrateful to their parents these days!
@@wecountingmoneyoverhere2517 i was shocked and at61 years today sometimes,I'm still shocked to have lost them but i still remember lessons they taught us!
A gentleman once told me something that blessed my life. He said “When you know you’ve done your best, da hell with the rest” to include those self entitled ungrateful kids! What an epiphany!! 🙌🏾
I've read all the comments this is why I don't believe in Christianity. U can say whatever do whatever. As long as you go to your god and repent. Everything is okay. No accountability for your actions. As your religion teaches only your god can judge. So u treat people badly u hurt them. And now that u have found white Jesus it's all under his blood. U will pay for it later. If he decide so. Does anybody knows how this man was treated as a child. No! So he might have a reason to expose his farther. But your religion teaches no matter what your parents do u must honor them. Bullshit! Respect is
Respect is earn not given. Do you think our ancestors prayed to a white god. There was no Christianity. In black peoples life until we can here. Now it's gospel. It was given to us by slave masters. And u dumbies believe.
What happened before or after, middle whatever does not matter. A parent shouldn’t speak to their child this way. Doesn’t matter how old they are. They clearly don’t have a good relationship otherwise he wouldn’t feel the need to record it. I can’t imagine my parents speaking to me like this, even when I do get a little frustrated with them.
@Feed My Lambs Tell them again but LOUDER! Generational wealth is a concept unknown to blacks across the world. Generational wealth is the only way for blacks to have power in the world.
Didn't know my father he was not there from day one! But my father in-law. He was the father I never had and I miss him everyday 😔 I am 55yrs old and he as been gone for over 10 yrs. For you young people out here that have a good mother and father love them while you can! Because there will come a day that they will not be here and there is no going back.
I'm an adoptive father of 3 kids from a different race and time to time I have to watch this video for encouragement. My dad wasn't apart of my life and to do a job that NO ONE taught me how to do is sometimes hard and discouraging. Rickey thank you for your words. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
My brother's are 6'5 and and 6'8 and our 5'4 mama would be standing looking at them like a tree unafraid. And they would be crying or had tears in they eye's. Neither myself or brothers never step to her or talked back. RIP Mama we miss you every day! 💖
I don't have the best relationship with my mother but NEVER YA HEAR ME NEVER have I EVER disrespected my mother and called my mama out her name or even cursed. I couldn't even say the word lie!
I don't have my mom anymore 😕, as u said I've never disrespected neither my mom or dad ,better yet I don't disrespect older ppl . Glad you respect your mom even though u don't have the best relationship .
Kirk Franklin Soul is Sold To The Devil Satan Just like Other Gospel Artists like Sister Duo Group Mary Mary and Yolanda Adams To Name a Few, i Don't Know if He Did It Willingly or Not Willingly, But it Was a Done Deal, And They are All a Member of The Illuminati, Freemason and Occult. These Celebrities Does Have To Engage Secretly in So Many Satanic Demonic Rituals like Sacrificial Rituals, Blood Baths Rituals and Homosexuality Gay Rituals, and Other Satanic Demonic Rituals is The De-masculine Rituals and Feminine Rituals Where These Male Celebrities Does Have To Wear Certain Feminine Type Clothing, Wear Certain Feminine Like Colours, Paint Their Finger Nails in Certain Colours and Act Feminine Like in Certain Way, and Try To Normalized It By Order of Those Same Brotherhoods, CIA, Secret Society and Elites of Making It a Norm, and Getting Their Fans That Idolized Them To See It as That, That is Why So Many of Today Youths are So Mess Up.
LORD 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I don't know how you did it... Sending so much LOVE AND SUPPORT to you even now! I lost my mama last year and barely survived it!!! I'm almost 40 and I have days... Where I can't imagine walking with this hurt for the rest of life 💔
I literally just cried when he said, "sitting in the front row watching your parent sit in casket, bury your mother or father before you hit middle school". Took me back to age 10. I always appreciate and admire folks with two parents, even at age 39, it never leaves you. No money will ever replace your parents.
Who are you telling. I never met my mom and appreciated just being alive. That hit so close to home it's ridiculous. I'm 37 and these kids now need reality checks it's not all about them. It's about loving each other and spreading the love and life lessons learned.
@@nicklh186 I have a former one. Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. So I refuse to put up with her foolishness. Kerrion needs to do the same, let his fraud pappy go.
I have 3 young adults and I agreed to buy each a car and pay their first 2 years of college. My youngest got cut off after acting entitled and disrespectful. I still am available for time and advice. I just save my money for my future and others who need help. Privilege isnt automatic. Its earned.
Say it AGAIN...same here I only have one and VERY slick at the mouth...try to give him a car I even set up account for him as his graduation present GONE...I BE DAMN...8 weeks of school left and his out of my house!!! When he graduates I'll watch him walk across the stage and I'm out no pic taking NONE!!! His dad brainwashed him so bad but I MOSTLY blame my son cause he 18 and he know BETTER I promise 8 weeks his out my HOME
That’s right it’s the same way for me and I wish I would talk to my mama like that all her brothers and sisters would checked me with no questions asked
My dad died when I was 6 and my mom at 14. Then my grandparents before the end of my teenage years. No matter who in your family steps up to raise you there is nothing like your parents. I appreciate my aunt but it just wasn't the same. I would've given anything to have my mom and grandmother back. I feel so hurt when I see people disrespect their parents and grandparents.
My mother passed away when I was 13 years old...every life event I experienced she was not there. Cherish your parents if they are doing the best that they can!
My Stepmom Died When My Sisters Were 7 And 10. Their 14 And 20 Now. The Youngest Does Not Remember Much About Her Mom And I Get LIVID WHEN MY BROTHER Disrespects Our Mom ARE YOU CRAZY????
I had my son by a no good joker. I decided when I raised him I was not going to allow him to be like his father. Lord knows I was not perfect as a mother and he hated me for it. Now he is a excellent husband, father and provider. He is a go-getter and he gives me much love and respect now! It is possible for them to get it. May just take some time. People need to look in the mirror before they start judging Kirk Franklin. He doesn't have to apologize for anything.
Rickey is telling The whole truth. When he said the only people that don’t speak to you are the ones you’ve helped I thought the people that turned their backs on me after they got my help.
Yes,from real far away,they have to take 3buses and two trains and three airplanes to come see you And then asked them for some money to guarantee they won't visit again
Don't let NOBODY treat you like a discount. Know that you are worthy! Let them go! It hurts I know but in time things will get better! You teach people how to treat you! Start a whole new chapter and say there's a new sheriff in town. I'm the head B in this piece! I don't owe you nothing! Bye!! Pooof!
This is so true!! I did that with my kids and they are grown and so damn disrespectful!! My heart is broken , but he'll with them cause I can not afford to disturb my peace!!!
And you’ll forever be alone because of that. You’re listening to Ricky smiley, but Ricky smiley has no business telling y’all to cut your kids off. You parents need to take a look at WHAT YOU DID TO CAUSE THE SITUATION AT HAND because that’s the only way to fix the issue at hand. Nobody is born with disrespect toward their parents ! And just because you’re the parent that doesn’t make you right in every situation... there’s such thing as toxic parenting
I felt that braces analogy. Spent $5K for my daughter's braces and then she refused to wear the retainer and had to get them put back on as an adult. I wish I had that money today to get some dental work.
My cousin had braces 4 different time. Each time after being removed they shifted.. My daughter had them 1x.. We paid extra to have permanent retainers installed.. That's really the way to go, to prevent shifting and getting re braced.
I did that to my moms and she was pissed. It wasn't exactly the same but nonetheless she paid for the braces but due to logistics I couldn't get the retainer
And if all you had was misery and lies??? Should I continue the cycle. Or should I give them the love and support I needed when I was their age? Some folks cannot give their kids what they had, cuz what they had was shit.
My Grandmother, Rosie, had a saying, "When you know you've done all you can for your children, you'll be able to lay your head down on your pillow at night and rest." These same words would then be passed on to me by my Mother when I became a parent. In others words, when you have done all you can to the best of your ability then leave the rest to God. I pray my Grandmother's words will be of encouragement to anyone out there experiencing something with their children, relatives, co-workers, whomever. Be still and know that he is God. Blessings to you! ❤
Man. I’m calling my dad today and apologizing to him. That man did everything for me... he wasn’t perfect but no one is. Especially not me. So. Yeah. Thanks for this. Hopefully he forgives me.
Called my 17yr old 3 times to check on him and see how he's doing in the course of a week...instead of calling me back, he text my parents out the blue and asked them to buy him a $62,000 car for graduation, don't even text his grandparents to say hello....My parents don't even have a $62,000 car for themselves!!!! I lost it, so I feel you Rickey and Kirk! Their sense of entitlement is ridiculous!
I would have cussed him out from amazing grace to an open opportunity . He got the nerves to asked the grandparents for anything . Forgive me Lord for what I’m about to do.
I hope your parents ignored that ridiculous request! And if your son doesn't want to talk or text you give him the same energy. Focus on the child that wants to talk to you or mentor a young person that will appreciate your kindness. When he's ready to be a respectful son, then you can have a good, healthy relationship.Let God whoop him. He'll get the message loud and clear.
I started a job in the social services field and learned a lot of things about child development. I was about 42 and my two children were 22 and 20. I cried because I realized the mistakes I had made raising them. I called each of them and apologized for spanking them over minor things and frankly going overboard. My son told me when he was 25 how he never felt he could come to me because I never believed him. He was crying and my first instinct was to be defensive because he was raised by me and his stepfather who did a great job. His bio-dad wasn’t as present as he could’ve been. But the Holy Spirit told me to be quiet and let him get it out. After he finished I was crying and again apologized and expressed how I Always loved him and did my very best with what I Albee at the time. I had to forgive myself and be okay with mistakes. I refuse to apologize all my life! Both of our kids are successful and are great parents. Thankfully they’ve learned from our mistakes! I’m praying for the Franklin family!❤️🙏🏽
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you. Some parents don’t realize that they can be good providers but sometimes the mental damage sticks around for a long time. An apology is a good way to help the kids heal instead of gaslighting them and making them think they are crazy.
@@saun_7 No because we were raised right and no better, and are Mom's would not hit a grown man or woman, but pray the blood of Jesus on them instead. To get rid of that rebellious demon.
I'm 58 years old and my Mother sometimes just Hurt my heart and I'm the child that has always done all I can to help her. But she can say what she wants I'll Never Ever disrespect My Mother Never.
Not healthy for your mental health. You can check her, respectfully, and still love her with all your heart. We pass these unhealthy traits down to our children when we allow should demonstrate.
That's not healthy. We need to start having the conversation about toxic parents. These parents raise hurt children who become hurt adults. Some parents are way too disrespectful. They talk down to you, belittle you and the moment you respond, the black community jumps on your ass because we believe that because they are parents regardless of their evil ways, they deserve respect. Nope. My mom is so toxic but I don't put up with it. I visit her every other week, male an occasional phone call. Unfortunately, she sold her house and moved in my sister's house without a discussion...visited and never left. Now the toxicity that my sister moved out of her house from after university is plopped right in her home. My sister's voice is now stifled. I don't join that.
My father gave me $20 when I was 15 and a blouse when I went of to college. I can count on my hands how many times I saw him over my life time. I wish he would have had the energy to even think about yelling at me. Mr. Franklin you have my respect.
While I never married and have no children of my own, I've allowed those whom I helped to disrespect me and now they don't speak to me but I don't lose sleep. I'll never allow anyone else to disrespect me.

My biological mother passed away it was the greatest moment of my life. A nasty, liar, manipulator, b**ch less in the world. Such a relief from a whole nasty childhood led by her.
The age group that's defending their self right now is a age where the parents moms was pregnant at 13 years old or some weird shit like what I research about the 60s and the 70s I hope you don't raise the future like that s*** was going on when Frank Lucas dope was running around town because we don't got the percentage of Ray Charles out there
Ricky you are telling the truth preach brother cuz I have to do that put people on my list cut them off in order to keep my sanity these are my blood people I start putting my energy just like you said towards people who appreciate what I'm doing for them and put of my positive energy course people who care about me and love me sometimes you can people can be your worst enemy they had jealousy in their heart don't know how to be happy for you when you accomplish achievements

I’m 36 and I needed to hear this in regards to my own mama. Dear God, I’m just lucky to still have her and my daddy. They’re 61 and 67. They still work and they can have what ever they need from me. We are just lucky to have them. Thank god. Tell it Rickey.
Some people "think" they have idiots for parents.... UNTILL they became parents....then a 💡 comes on. That was me and mom scenario....Ive grown to appreciate, as an ADULT, what I thought was an idiot, as a KID!!!!
@@josephnelson3287 I’m almost 47 and mine is still an idiot. Nobody likes jezebel. They are hanging around for her for her money. I’m not!!! I don’t do drama , and I’m not going to hell with her.

Ricky is one of the best dad that I know every time he's talking about his family it's all away positive and he's always trying to encourage young people i don't know who you are talking about but it's not Ricky
@mystique yinyang thank you and I can’t believe people praying for Kirk wth pray for the damaged son he’s clearly hurt by his dad and this has been going on for years he just exposed it this time
Thank you Ricky!Speak it louder!That rude ass punk!To my brother Kirk God understand.God isnot mad at you.Your son is the one that will not be under God's covernant for God to bless him abundantly and to have long life.STOP dishonoring your PARENTS!!!!!😬😬😬😡😡😡
@mystique yinyang Ricky is old school and you wouldn't understand he's not being disrespectful are abusive as long as you are giving a kid what they want you are the the best parent in the world and when you don't they want to say every nasty thing about you I don't know if you have any kids but like my mom said you keep living you will see what I'm talking about God is of love peace not hate God
Facts, I was traumatized at 35 in 2020 watching my Father in a casket. I don't understand these disrespectful kids and grown kids. Ima call my mama right now
Because your own kids know the real you. People don't want to accept the abuse they put their child through. Instead they wanna talk about respect. you gotta repair the hearts you broke at some time. this only happens in our community. These men become successful and forget about the hell their oldest children endured.
I had to block my 24 yr old daughter for over a months for being disrespectful to me. Kirk Franklin is a parent and he's a parent with emotions. He don't owe anyone a apology.
Dad passed when I was 3 , Mom when I was 13. Mom was tough when required, following in her footsteps. Knowing my place, showing respect kept me alive. Thank God !
I promise I felt every word. I was a spoiled brat when I was younger. I didn’t get everything I wanted, but I had everything I needed. I was so disrespectful but my mother’s love for me never wavered. She passed almost two years ago and I’m finally understanding all she did for me. I got to apologize before she passed and she knew how much I loved her. But for the rest of my life, I will replay all those times that I was a spoiled brat while she went without things to provide for me. Appreciate The people who truly love you and care for you cuz one day they could be gone and all you have is memories.
He don't owe his son nothing because if with out your parents you would never have been thought of these youngins need to understand that y'all keep being friends instead of a parent??????? Get it together!!!
I lost my mother a month ago and the pain is so great its feels like I am Dying Because there's a lot of things that I regret.... when my mother only told me what was right And I had to learn the hard way.. and those things I am still paying for right now. so anyone that's older wiser than me.. I take every single advice to make the right decisions and the right choices in my life Because when your mother is gone or your father is gone You're gonna wish like hell you listened whether you liked it or not... RIP mommy You're watching over me..🙏💕 thank you Rickey Smiley for these words of Incouragement...
I never knew my father and my mother died 20 years ago. Some people don’t know how lucky they have just have the ability to pick up the phone and talk to a parent.
My father always told me SON I BROUGHT YOU IN THIS WORLD N I WILL TAKE YOU OUT. it always stuck with me and I'm thankful.... He passed when I was 17, and it was one of the hardest times of my life. Thank you dad!!!
@@reyrey7775 It's a figure of speech to that NO DISRESPECT will be tolerated IDIOT!!! I wouldn't be the man and father I am today. 1 child has already graduated college my 2nd starts this year!!! Go back to sleep!!!
EVEN THOUGH WORDS MAY BE HARSH, WE WILL NOT ALWAYS HAVE OUR WORDS SEASONED WITH SALT (TASTY), BUT KIDS NEED TO SEE STRENGTH AND BOLDNESS IN A PARENT WHEN IT "IS" NECESSARY. IF THEY STAND UP TO YOU, THEY WILL STAND UP FOR YOU. IF YOU "SEE" THEIR STRENGTH AND BOLDNESS, YOU FEEL SECURE AND SAFE AND CAN STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES, BOYS AND GIRLS ALIKE . THEY WILL NEVER BE A PUSH-OVER.
I know what you can do for kirks Franklin's son give him the newspaper and if he asks you what is this for a job because I will not be giving you any more he'll think you went crazy and if you think you might need some help you better go get it and if the doctor diagnose him as being bipolar then you just have to ease up on them cuz he don't mean it
man, this one hit home real hard. letting go sucks but i have a peace in my mind now and peace in my heart. what Mr. Smiley said was true because i have sacrificed so much trying to keep a connection that no longer exists. there are complete strangers who treated me way better than ANYBODY that is related to me. different races and all. you want a piece of mind you gotta let go!🙏🏽✊🏽💪🏽🤗😢💖
Do not cast pearls before swine. People have a tendency to give great things to(and do things for) people who don't deserve them and then act surprised when they don't return or show gratitude.
Hard true right there.. My friends I loan money too to help them out ends up hating me for asking when they gonna pay me back. They tell me in a month they pay me but I gave them like 2 years without saying a God damn thing.
@@catfishlol1498 I usually remind my friends as to the reason why they're borrowing money from me (specifically). It's usually because no one else will loan them money, and I tell them keep the same energy when you pay me my money back as you had when you came to borrow it. Also maintain a pretty strict set of rules when it comes to letting friends borrow money. 1. Never loan money that you need, or don't have. 2. Never loan money to friends who are irresponsible. (Living outside your means,drug habit, having kids you can't afford, Liars, gambling habits) 3. Never loan money to someone who is NOT celibate. (If can't borrow money from the person you're having sexual relations with... Why are you sleeping with them!?) 4. Never loan money to someone who will not make it a legally binding agreement. 5. *I'm not built or programmed to take a loss and because of that if I don't get my money back you will regret it.🤗
So very true. My childhood friend lost both parents when she was 9. A drunk driver killed them in a head on crash. My friend was never the same. She's struggled with depression before we even had a name for what her problem was.
Thank u Ricky right on the head. We cannot put our lives on hold. Let people talk, misinterpreted, judge, we must live. Let the kids roll on their journey
He embarassed Kirk. The son was not screaming I'll kill you and I'll put my foot up your azz, but Kirk was. Kirk needs to learn to control his anger, and exercise control...and not to let his ego and arrogance get in the way.
Exactly the son is grown.....My 4ft grandmother always told us I don't care how big, tall or old you get you better respect me. PEOPLE sitting in glass houses with dirty windows passing judgement knowing good and well they wouldn't tolerate that foolishness out of their child. I wish one of my grown kids would curse at me....when they wake up from their coma they will never try me again. Kirk is human and at the end of the day NOBODY CAN JUDGE BUT JESUS!
I'm 48 yrs old and I still have the same level of respect for my mom and dad as I did when I was a toddler. That fear becomes respect as you grow into adulthood. Young man and young ladies learn to CHERISH YOUR PARENTS! God has only given us ONE!!! Thank you Rickey for speaking nothing but the truth my brother.
Carlo Lauderdale; While respect can certainly grow into, or perhaps lead to love; fear and love are two differing creatures that though they might coexist as opposites, will always be opposites. Also, not every parent is entitled to anything more than a minimal base line of respect as human beings.
@@jamesguilford6807 I agree that all parents haven't earned their children's respect which simply comes in the raising and teaching process but I merely speak on behalf of the REAL parents not the microwave parents as I call them
@@carlolauderdale7161 ; As a very general rule, people who are being, and or have been raised by decent, loving parents do not need to be ''commanded'' to respect those parents. There are exceptions to almost every rule though, even that one !
My mom was christian and let me tell you, she cussed our lil behinds out and thought nothing of it. Kirk is human and God don't judge us like we see us. I pray his son finds his way. I know his friends and their parents are like that kid is dangerous and if he did that to his father then no ones exempt. Keep public figures private lives just that. I STILL LOVE KIRK. His music saved so many lives. #kirkthistoshallpass
You should read James 3 and really key in verses 10-12. What your mom was doing was wrong. Yes we're human and yes we mess up, but when you doing the same thing consistently, its no longer messing up. It's a choice. God knows your heart and He will judge accordingly.
I would say his music may have saved so many lives from suicide . Also from going down the pathway of unrighteousness. Oh and I’ve felt the anointing overtake Kirk at different times in songs. Melodies from heaven comes to mind. It’s a certain part close to the end of that song Kirk goes off ! I scream every time I hear it! I refuse to harm Kirk with my mouth. No matter this , and other dirt the devil coming for Kirk with. Kirk is a child of God and God takes care of His own. God knows Kirk and what he’s in need of. God be the judge, and judges righteously. And Christians we must pray ye one for another. Amen 🙏🏽
He needed to clear his own conscious and make restitution. When you have a conscious, as most God fearing people do, you want feel free until you have been punished or paid for what you did wrong
Nowhere near the truth. If you don't know the realities of parenting, you're lacking qualifications. If you know, but can't admit the realities of parenting, you're lacking qualifications. Parents f&@# up way more than kids.
@@kevinbrown7955 People don’t realize that Toxic Parenting is real. You have parents who were verbally abusive or physically abusive to their kids. Some were even control freaks. So I see BOTH sides of the story. Kids should be much more honorable toward their parents & parents should learn not to abuse their authority.
NO apology needed. Any parent who is investing in their kids with home training, love, finances, lights, food, shelter and extras, no judgment hunni. Kirk you good! Look at David and Absalom God knows sir!
I want to thank Kirk’s son and his foolishness! Out of support for ELDER KIRK, I forgot how FIRE Kirk’s album “whatcha lookin 4” was!!! Been playing it all day!!!
Nobody but the Franklins know what's going on behind close doors in their family. However, it is difficult to think that it is a one-sided story in which Kerrion is the familial antagonist who developed a substance use disorder coming out of a loving and nurturing relationship with a father who not only cusses at him but threatens him with great bodily harm, even death. I believe that Kirk physically and emotionally abused Kerrion because violence and verbal aggression is tolerated in society so long as it's being committed by a parent. Even with all of the research based evidence, and disapproval from mental health experts and human developmentalists, some people will dismiss abusive behavior with irrelevant anecdotes such as "oh my parents whooped me and I came out fine." They don't get the impacts that it can have on a developing mind. Although, teens can be ungrateful and very difficult there are parents who can be quite toxic. After all, child protective services would not exist if every parent with a mouth like Kirk was only an imperfect human being. Perfection is not the standard, but anger is a choice, and your words are a choice. Kerrion recorded his father to show that there are two sides to the story.
He ain't lying. One of my "good friends" who i was always there for over a decade stopped talking to me for over a year cause of the one time i couldn't be there for them. They tried to come back in mu life and I told them it's over. You let one time I couldn't be there outweigh the thousand times I was and that's not a friendship I need,
I am 61 years old have children and grandkids, when my mom speaks I listen. Guess what my children do the same. I be damned if you give me talk back. Respect your own parents.
You are speaking SUCH truth! My daddy passed when i was 7 and he was my hero. When in high school I remember listening to friends talking so BADLY about their parents and i thought, "I am glad my father is dead. I would rather him be in the grave as my hero than for me to EVER disrespect him like that." For real. Then as a mom, I had to be that tough mom to my teen and grown children. I always ask myself, "if i keep giving in to their foolishness, how will they be able to function when I am gone? " You have to love them enough to let them fall.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2day with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for q and in the it of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on (+2347012338752)tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you................................
I have never in my life said one curse word in front of my parents, both are gone now, and my mother cursed like a sailor. I could never curse before either of them.
Back in 2017 two days before Thanksgiving, my baby sister died in her sleep.She was divorced and raising 2 girls.I took on the responsibility of raising them because their dad by birth didn't want to.I have no regrets in doing so, i wish that they had their mom still because you see the sadness in their eyes. Those who still have your parents better thank God for them and be good to them.
@@josephinenatsui4267 yes it is. There is such a thing as cursed money . I’ve been there. I told mine where she could put her money . She was spiritually blind enough to think I was gonna bow to her over her satanic toxic dollars. I burned everything attached to her thousands of dollars of stuff. I can get my own and have peace🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. That’s what I did 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. Her dollars are going to burn in hell with her
Thank you so much for this! Our son discarded us a couple of years ago and has not cared enough to even see if we’re still alive during the pandemic. Never responded to us when we’ve reached out to see if he’s ok. My husband and I have been the best parents! Our other five sons and their wives think so and don’t understand why he has provoked us and bad mouthed several of us. It’s heartbreaking. But Rickey Smiley is right. Some kids will never be grateful no matter what you do to bend over backwards for them. As a mother who birthed this child on my own birthday, who breastfed him, nurtured him, even homeschooled him for a few years, gave him cars, musical instruments, college tuition, living expenses during and after college...I will never be the same again. A young Black man who can discard his own father...a great father...it’s just so painful!!
@@charlottewashington1756 He didn’t want more. He wanted less...of his own family. His own mother and father. His own brothers. His own nieces and nephews. I don’t know how we raised such a callous individual. We never spanked him. Barely raised a voice to him. He was such a good kid! Who grew up to hate us for no reason. Pushed our buttons so he could share a voicemail I left him when I finally broke down over how he was treating me. I didn’t even cuss at him in real life or on the recording, but I can relate to the Kirk Franklin situation. And Rickey Smiley just made me feel ok about the whole thing. We still pray for our son but I had to give up on him when it started affecting my health. My husband is just done.
Your story is testament to how strange life is. You don’t need validation from me but your other kids are testament that you did it right. I don’t know how Dear but that negative gene is just in the one who didn’t get it! Nothing you can do about that!
@@PezDawg8 Thank you. We still haven’t seen or spoken to our son and it’s still devastating. Our attempts to reach out to him over the years have either been smacked down or completely ignored. So we’ve had no choice but to move on and enjoy our lives. We’re not getting any younger. He knows where we are and how to reach us if he ever comes to his senses. Hopefully he wakes up one day to realize how much he was and still is loved, and how much he has thrown away.
I'm 53 years old and my mama can still give me the look and I know when to shut up. Give me a thumbs up if y'all out there know what I'm talkin about
And tell you to go home!!
I know the look Joe. That look is cold and deadly.
Joe I'll give you 20 thumbs up on that one!😉

I have a healthy respect...and fear of my mom and I'm 46. I love that woman with my entire life!
I'm a mother of 6 adult children and Kirk doesn't owe us anything!!!!! Kirk is a man, husband, and father, HE's not GOD! Stop upholding to standards you can't hold yourself. Nothing but love for you Kirk.
Well you look damn good with 6 adult children. You go gurl.
Amen

He’s not God, but he’s a public figure and he should hold some kind of standard. He’s mad mad because everyone has a Skelton in the closet. Kirk been dealing with demons this is just another one! Do not anger your children, honor your parents, but give them something to honor!

Thank You Mr. Smiley for Giving this
ENORMOUS message of Reality and Love. Everyday I have an example or just a comparison for my kids about Back then ( growing up the 80's) and today. I try to show, tell, and be the example my parents were for me.
Believe me that sometimes I'll tear up or actually cry when I think of how Desensitized the youth is nowadays. No empathy, No respect, No consideration, No Shame, etc.
The simple act of helping one another is almost extinct.

My mother used to say blood makes a relative.... Their actions make them your family....
Your mom hit the nail on the head. Wise woman. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to remember her words. How so very true 👍.
Amen!
When people ask me if I have a big family I say nope but I got a lot of relatives though. 😉 And I don't feel bad about it at all! 😊
Oooooh now that’s a word!

Saying.
I lost my mother when I was 12yrs old and I still have a hard time with that loss but I was blessed to be raised by the BEST DAD on the planet and lost him almost 5yrs ago 🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢. Anyone who still have both their parents living, you’re truly blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@Leslie Givens I send you my condolences.
Leslie I'm so sorry
I lost my mom 7 yrs ago and I miss her everyday . I still have my dad and love him a lot .
You right.
I lost my dad in 2017 and I lost my mom this year in January. When I tell you I’m lost! I miss them so much!
My wonderful daddy told me at the age of 14: “I have only ONE wife. You (the child) get what you need; you will get a job for the things you want. Your mom (the wife) gets what she needs AND what she wants. When you get grown, make sure you either provide both for yourself or marry a man who will do both for you.” This was the BEST lesson my dad could have ever lovingly taught me.
Beautifully stated. Did you find that in your own life?
@@dreamchaser5758 I did....I understood that:
#1: no one owed me anything
#2 anything given to me was out of the kindness of folks hearts, and not their duty.
#3 to work hard to earn the life I want...... and I have definitely done that and live what I consider a “charmed” life.
@@MoonLightOnWater1 Then your father's efforts were not in vain. Continued blessings
I love this!
Damn, 4 months later I felt that
He's a singer, entertainer and in ministry. However first he's a man, husband and father. Raising grown children is still a challenge. No apology needed for me Mr. Franklin.
" Raising grown children " ? The very statement is an oxymoron . Unless these " grown children " haves some type of debilitating handicap then the act of raising should have ceased .
Raising?? Lol
as a christian when a sin is made public by us, and witnesses prove it is true, you should publicly apologize, so Kirk did right there, if it was not made public, then he only needed to apologize to God and his son privately ,and his son to him and God, and try at least to work out their differences, if possible.
If a christian publicly sins and refuses to repent, that sends a message to the world, why should they accept Jesus and repent, when christians are out their cussing their sons and fathers out, and then refusing to acknowledge it is wrong, or. apologize.
Jesus started his ministry with repent for the kingdom of God is at hand, and in these last days, we need to repent, forgive those that wrong us, get rid of grudges, and follow the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, as time is running out, and judgement starts at the house of the Lord first, before the world.
So I applaud Kirk for manning up, and being responsible for his actions, that could have been us, and we need to do the same, and then move on.
I pray dearly, for both father and son.
@@Tigerex966 accept he didn’t REPENT to God....🤦🏿♂️
THE SAD THING IS HE ISN’T GRIEVED FOR SINNING AGAINST GOD🥲
I'm 30, and I would NEVER, NEVER talk to my parents like that.
What about talking to your child like that?
facts.
Would your parents ever talk to YOU like Kirk talked to his son?
@@Tigerex966 he’s not a child tho. That’s boy is a man responsible for his own actions.
He son spoke to him in the way his father showed him to...🤔...
Now you spoke when you said "give these kids what we had and stop trying to give them what we didn't have!! Now that sums it up right there!!
Gotta quit trying to be their friend..parent's today are afraid of their own kid's..& like you said Smiley they kill their parents for money .Like the Mendez brother's..parent's also buy the kids gifts & money because they're ar work all the time. This era is a sad affair.. parents cant discipline their kids or they'll go to jail..shoot these kids need a good old fashioned whip that behind..we made it...just saying...
Yes, I knew that Rickey was going to bring the Truth! I'm 42, seeing and knowing how hard my mother worked and sacrifices for me, I will never! These youngsters now days are ruined. Mine jump and flinch when I walk pass.And then I grab and hug and kiss them. But they don't have fear anymore.
Amen 🙏
Grown folks have no idea what parents have gone through
Yessss
'family is the people you surround yourself with, those that show you love and affection...' I FELT THAT.
Family is still my bad disrespectful kids if that's the case and God created the family and we all need to repent and turn away from sin and pray if we really want God to fix it. No pride
Let the church say Amen. Cut the cord and keep it moving. Rickey, you said a mouth full.
Yes because it's not worth it.
Amen 🙏🏽🎤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amen!
Amen.
Amen 🙏🏾

33 year old should be asking Dad What can I do for you Today.
Exactly
Or " my son wants to see his grandpa "
This! How are you in your 30’s not helping your parents out now?
Very true 👍.
True... but instead all bout him and his selfishness, Kirk probably tired and just lost it on this ungrateful grown man
A gentleman once told me something that blessed my life. He said “When you know you’ve done your best, da hell with the rest” to include those self entitled ungrateful kids! What an epiphany!! 🙌🏾
This is one of the greatest messages I have ever heard. Job Well Done
I've read all the comments this is why I don't believe in Christianity. U can say whatever do whatever. As long as you go to your god and repent. Everything is okay. No accountability for your actions. As your religion teaches only your god can judge. So u treat people badly u hurt them. And now that u have found white Jesus it's all under his blood. U will pay for it later. If he decide so. Does anybody knows how this man was treated as a child. No! So he might have a reason to expose his farther. But your religion teaches no matter what your parents do u must honor them. Bullshit! Respect is
Respect is earn not given. Do you think our ancestors prayed to a white god. There was no Christianity. In black peoples life until we can here. Now it's gospel. It was given to us by slave masters. And u dumbies believe.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Kirk touched a boy and that’s what y’all fail to realize
People usually only record the part they want you to see or hear.....
Whole lot of wiggle room using the word usually
Good point. We don't know what happened before or after that piece of recording.
say that again for the ppl in the back!
That part!
What happened before or after, middle whatever does not matter. A parent shouldn’t speak to their child this way. Doesn’t matter how old they are. They clearly don’t have a good relationship otherwise he wouldn’t feel the need to record it. I can’t imagine my parents speaking to me like this, even when I do get a little frustrated with them.
A family friend who is a doctor told his son "whatever wealth i have is for me and my wife, I've given you all the tools you need to start your own".
My parents told me the same when I was 14 years old. You must make your way in this life.....👍🏽🍻🙏🏽⚓️
Absolutely
I love THIS??
@Feed My Lambs Tell them again but LOUDER! Generational wealth is a concept unknown to blacks across the world. Generational wealth is the only way for blacks to have power in the world.

Omg. You just made me tear up. I have the same wish.
Miss my dad too and my mama
I'm an adoptive father of 3 kids from a different race and time to time I have to watch this video for encouragement. My dad wasn't apart of my life and to do a job that NO ONE taught me how to do is sometimes hard and discouraging. Rickey thank you for your words. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
My brother's are 6'5 and and 6'8 and our 5'4 mama would be standing looking at them like a tree unafraid. And they would be crying or had tears in they eye's. Neither myself or brothers never step to her or talked back. RIP Mama we miss you every day! 💖

There's a friend that sticks closer than a brother-Bible.
My mother passed away when I was 13 years old...every life event I experienced she was not there. Cherish your parents if they are doing the best that they can!
My Stepmom Died When My Sisters Were 7 And 10. Their 14 And 20 Now. The Youngest Does Not Remember Much About Her Mom And I Get LIVID WHEN MY BROTHER Disrespects Our Mom ARE YOU CRAZY????
My father was murdered when I was 6. My mom was all i knew.
I had my son by a no good joker. I decided when I raised him I was not going to allow him to be like his father. Lord knows I was not perfect as a mother and he hated me for it. Now he is a excellent husband, father and provider. He is a go-getter and he gives me much love and respect now! It is possible for them to get it. May just take some time. People need to look in the mirror before they start judging Kirk Franklin. He doesn't have to apologize for anything.
Rickey is telling The whole truth. When he said the only people that don’t speak to you are the ones you’ve helped I thought the people that turned their backs on me after they got my help.
Right and now I need help and no one is around in my siblings and son.
For some people it’s NEVER enough! I’ve learned to keep it moving, I have nothing to prove.
We can create a family of choice if our siblings and my satanic son that care nothing for me. But my Heavenly Father sees their deeds.
Right thats so true.
My God. That comment spoke to me!!!! "The ones you've helped can't stand you". Now that's a word.
Judge Karen said "sometimes You have to love family from afar", SO TRUE!
Yes,from real far away,they have to take 3buses and two trains and three airplanes to come see you
And then asked them for some money to guarantee they won't visit again
Love? That's not love. That's what Christian black people call love😂
Fact!! I sure do and we never speak... you have to protect your peace and energy.
Yup
Absolutely
I am in tears right now, He spoke everything I have been feeling. Lord Y'ALL DON'T KNOW MY STORY. I feel everything he said

Don't let NOBODY treat you like a discount. Know that you are worthy! Let them go! It hurts I know but in time things will get better! You teach people how to treat you!

You parents need to take a look at WHAT YOU DID TO CAUSE THE SITUATION AT HAND because that’s the only way to fix the issue at hand. Nobody is born with disrespect toward their parents !

Facts ‼️‼️
I felt that braces analogy. Spent $5K for my daughter's braces and then she refused to wear the retainer and had to get them put back on as an adult. I wish I had that money today to get some dental work.
That was kind of you. I wish I had some millions and I would take care of that for you. One day 🙏🏾
Same here. Just money down the drain.
My cousin had braces 4 different time. Each time after being removed they shifted.. My daughter had them 1x.. We paid extra to have permanent retainers installed.. That's really the way to go, to prevent shifting and getting re braced.
I did that to my moms and she was pissed. It wasn't exactly the same but nonetheless she paid for the braces but due to logistics I couldn't get the retainer
My son did the same thing. Plus had to have all kinds of fillings in his teeth when his braces came off.
"Focus on giving kids what we had as opposed to giving them what we did not have!" Morals over materials...thats powerful
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Also a line from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
And if all you had was misery and lies??? Should I continue the cycle. Or should I give them the love and support I needed when I was their age? Some folks cannot give their kids what they had, cuz what they had was shit.

My Grandmother, Rosie, had a saying, "When you know you've done all you can for your children, you'll be able to lay your head down on your pillow at night and rest." These same words would then be passed on to me by my Mother when I became a parent.
In others words, when you have done all you can to the best of your ability then leave the rest to God.
I pray my Grandmother's words will be of encouragement to anyone out there experiencing something with their children, relatives, co-workers, whomever. Be still and know that he is God.
Blessings to you! ❤
Man. I’m calling my dad today and apologizing to him. That man did everything for me... he wasn’t perfect but no one is. Especially not me. So. Yeah. Thanks for this. Hopefully he forgives me.

Very mature of you. I haven't heard from my son in months.

Good for you! It's NOT too late!
God Bless
Called my 17yr old 3 times to check on him and see how he's doing in the course of a week...instead of calling me back, he text my parents out the blue and asked them to buy him a $62,000 car for graduation, don't even text his grandparents to say hello....My parents don't even have a $62,000 car for themselves!!!! I lost it, so I feel you Rickey and Kirk! Their sense of entitlement is ridiculous!
I’ll be your new kid lol
I would have cussed him out from amazing grace to an open opportunity . He got the nerves to asked the grandparents for anything . Forgive me Lord for what I’m about to do.
I hope your parents ignored that ridiculous request! And if your son doesn't want to talk or text you give him the same energy. Focus on the child that wants to talk to you or mentor a young person that will appreciate your kindness. When he's ready to be a respectful son, then you can have a good, healthy relationship.Let God whoop him. He'll get the message loud and clear.

I started a job in the social services field and learned a lot of things about child development. I was about 42 and my two children were 22 and 20. I cried because I realized the mistakes I had made raising them. I called each of them and apologized for spanking them over minor things and frankly going overboard. My son told me when he was 25 how he never felt he could come to me because I never believed him. He was crying and my first instinct was to be defensive because he was raised by me and his stepfather who did a great job. His bio-dad wasn’t as present as he could’ve been. But the Holy Spirit told me to be quiet and let him get it out. After he finished I was crying and again apologized and expressed how I Always loved him and did my very best with what I Albee at the time. I had to forgive myself and be okay with mistakes. I refuse to apologize all my life! Both of our kids are successful and are great parents. Thankfully they’ve learned from our mistakes! I’m praying for the Franklin family!❤️🙏🏽
This! 🙏
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you. Some parents don’t realize that they can be good providers but sometimes the mental damage sticks around for a long time. An apology is a good way to help the kids heal instead of gaslighting them and making them think they are crazy.
This the thread right here!!! Yes and Amen!! ❤️
My mom passed away and I still won't disrespect her, period.
My condolences 🙏🏽
And neither will she disrespect you.
My condolences also.

@@saun_7 No because we were raised right and no better, and are Mom's would not hit a grown man or woman, but pray the blood of Jesus on them instead.

I'm 58 years old and my Mother sometimes just Hurt my heart and I'm the child that has always done all I can to help her. But she can say what she wants I'll Never Ever disrespect My Mother Never.
That's toxic as hell
Yep! Despite my moms being in and out of my life, my family knows I love my mother despite the past!
This is exactly how my parents get treated by my grandparents do everything for them more then anyone and still gets the short end of the stick
Not healthy for your mental health. You can check her, respectfully, and still love her with all your heart. We pass these unhealthy traits down to our children when we allow should demonstrate.
That's not healthy. We need to start having the conversation about toxic parents. These parents raise hurt children who become hurt adults. Some parents are way too disrespectful. They talk down to you, belittle you and the moment you respond, the black community jumps on your ass because we believe that because they are parents regardless of their evil ways, they deserve respect. Nope. My mom is so toxic but I don't put up with it. I visit her every other week, male an occasional phone call. Unfortunately, she sold her house and moved in my sister's house without a discussion...visited and never left. Now the toxicity that my sister moved out of her house from after university is plopped right in her home. My sister's voice is now stifled. I don't join that.
That was the ULTIMATE bitch move! Me and my parents didn't always see eye to eye, but I'll be damned if I put family business out for CLOUT!

"The only people that don't speak to you are the people you have helped" I felt that, that's so true.
That one hit me hard also. I vividly remember people I've helped and they would pass me straight in the street. It shook my core.

My thoughts exactly!
I had to block my 24 yr old daughter for over a months for being disrespectful to me. Kirk Franklin is a parent and he's a parent with emotions. He don't owe anyone a apology.
Dad passed when I was 3 , Mom when I was 13. Mom was tough when required, following in her footsteps. Knowing my place, showing respect kept me alive.
Thank God !
I promise I felt every word. I was a spoiled brat when I was younger. I didn’t get everything I wanted, but I had everything I needed. I was so disrespectful but my mother’s love for me never wavered. She passed almost two years ago and I’m finally understanding all she did for me. I got to apologize before she passed and she knew how much I loved her. But for the rest of my life, I will replay all those times that I was a spoiled brat while she went without things to provide for me. Appreciate The people who truly love you and care for you cuz one day they could be gone and all you have is memories.
He owes his grown son only but love... And for the ones throwing stones; don’t forget you live in a glass house yourself!
Thats what i say when y’all judging gays
Mines is more like a small cabin/tiny home, but I get your point.

Also maintain a pretty strict set of rules when it comes to letting friends borrow money.
1. Never loan money that you need, or don't have.
2. Never loan money to friends who are irresponsible. (Living outside your means,drug habit, having kids you can't afford, Liars, gambling habits)
3. Never loan money to someone who is NOT celibate. (If can't borrow money from the person you're having sexual relations with... Why are you sleeping with them!?)
4. Never loan money to someone who will not make it a legally binding agreement.
5. *I'm not built or programmed to take a loss and because of that if I don't get my money back you will regret it.🤗
Truth
The example Ricky Smiley gave about kids who lose their parents while their in middle school is heart wrenching.
So very true. My childhood friend lost both parents when she was 9. A drunk driver killed them in a head on crash. My friend was never the same. She's struggled with depression before we even had a name for what her problem was.
I lost my mother at 9. If only.
Facts Lost My Daddy And I Was Elementary
I did at 11..my Mom
That was me. I lost my father in middle school. I envy those adults that have their parents in their lives.
Thank u Ricky right on the head. We cannot put our lives on hold. Let people talk, misinterpreted, judge, we must live. Let the kids roll on their journey
He's speaking from experience. I bet my life that he's going through this right now.
Him and Brandon went through this he stopped talking to Rickey but he needed Rickey before Rickey need him
You might be right, I didn't think about that because he's speaking as if he experienced this same thing, so he knows what he's talking about.
Oh, he NEVER been silent about that...it was on his show

The son embarrassed himself honestly. Hes 33, a "grown man" bad look.
I thought it was some 16 year old child i never knew it was a silver back azz man
A bad look for both of them. That was no way to talk to your child.
He embarassed Kirk. The son was not screaming I'll kill you and I'll put my foot up your azz, but Kirk was. Kirk needs to learn to control his anger, and exercise control...and not to let his ego and arrogance get in the way.
Exactly the son is grown.....My 4ft grandmother always told us I don't care how big, tall or old you get you better respect me. PEOPLE sitting in glass houses with dirty windows passing judgement knowing good and well they wouldn't tolerate that foolishness out of their child.

Parents need to learn to CHERISH THEIR CHILDREN. Children are a direct reflection of their parents. #FoodForThought
Carlo Lauderdale; While respect can certainly grow into, or perhaps lead to love; fear and love are two differing creatures that though they might coexist as opposites, will always be opposites.
Also, not every parent is entitled to anything more than a minimal base line of respect as human beings.

You should read James 3 and really key in verses 10-12. What your mom was doing was wrong. Yes we're human and yes we mess up, but when you doing the same thing consistently, its no longer messing up. It's a choice. God knows your heart and He will judge accordingly.
@Legba daniels if don't mean a thing why are you tuning in to a "Christians" life? It obviously means enough to you, if it has your attention
I would say his music may have saved so many lives from suicide . Also from going down the pathway of unrighteousness. Oh and I’ve felt the anointing overtake Kirk at different times in songs. Melodies from heaven comes to mind. It’s a certain part close to the end of that song Kirk goes off ! I scream every time I hear it! I refuse to harm Kirk with my mouth. No matter this , and other dirt the devil coming for Kirk with. Kirk is a child of God and God takes care of His own. God knows Kirk and what he’s in need of. God be the judge, and judges righteously. And Christians we must pray ye one for another. Amen 🙏🏽

Nobody but the Franklins know what's going on behind close doors in their family. However, it is difficult to think that it is a one-sided story in which Kerrion is the familial antagonist who developed a substance use disorder coming out of a loving and nurturing relationship with a father who not only cusses at him but threatens him with great bodily harm, even death. I believe that Kirk physically and emotionally abused Kerrion because violence and verbal aggression is tolerated in society so long as it's being committed by a parent. Even with all of the research based evidence, and disapproval from mental health experts and human developmentalists, some people will dismiss abusive behavior with irrelevant anecdotes such as "oh my parents whooped me and I came out fine." They don't get the impacts that it can have on a developing mind. Although, teens can be ungrateful and very difficult there are parents who can be quite toxic. After all, child protective services would not exist if every parent with a mouth like Kirk was only an imperfect human being. Perfection is not the standard, but anger is a choice, and your words are a choice. Kerrion recorded his father to show that there are two sides to the story.
It more to the story..I believe
He ain't lying. One of my "good friends" who i was always there for over a decade stopped talking to me for over a year cause of the one time i couldn't be there for them.

God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2day with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for q and in the it of your family.

You are one country off. We are (were) missionaries in Uganda prayerfully waiting for the opportunity to return.
I have never in my life said one curse word in front of my parents, both are gone now, and my mother cursed like a sailor. I could never curse before either of them.
Back in 2017 two days before Thanksgiving, my baby sister died in her sleep.She was divorced and raising 2 girls.I took on the responsibility of raising them because their dad by birth didn't want to.I have no regrets in doing so, i wish that they had their mom still because you see the sadness in their eyes. Those who still have your parents better thank God for them and be good to them.
Not everyone wants their toxic parents in their lives. We don’t owe them anything
@@melmel3703 but their money is not toxic
@@josephinenatsui4267 yes it is. There is such a thing as cursed money . I’ve been there. I told mine where she could put her money . She was spiritually blind enough to think I was gonna bow to her over her satanic toxic dollars. I burned everything attached to her thousands of dollars of stuff. I can get my own and have peace🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. That’s what I did 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. Her dollars are going to burn in hell with her
@@melmel3703 good for you. Apparently Kirk's son still feels entitled to his dad's money.
@@josephinenatsui4267 and he also could have be you know what by his effeminate daddy, as alleged. But he gets a pass because he’s your god
Thank you so much for this! Our son discarded us a couple of years ago and has not cared enough to even see if we’re still alive during the pandemic. Never responded to us when we’ve reached out to see if he’s ok. My husband and I have been the best parents! Our other five sons and their wives think so and don’t understand why he has provoked us and bad mouthed several of us. It’s heartbreaking. But Rickey Smiley is right. Some kids will never be grateful no matter what you do to bend over backwards for them. As a mother who birthed this child on my own birthday, who breastfed him, nurtured him, even homeschooled him for a few years, gave him cars, musical instruments, college tuition, living expenses during and after college...I will never be the same again. A young Black man who can discard his own father...a great father...it’s just so painful!!
Some people don't care how much you do for them. They always want more.
@@charlottewashington1756 He didn’t want more. He wanted less...of his own family. His own mother and father. His own brothers. His own nieces and nephews. I don’t know how we raised such a callous individual. We never spanked him. Barely raised a voice to him. He was such a good kid! Who grew up to hate us for no reason. Pushed our buttons so he could share a voicemail I left him when I finally broke down over how he was treating me. I didn’t even cuss at him in real life or on the recording, but I can relate to the Kirk Franklin situation. And Rickey Smiley just made me feel ok about the whole thing. We still pray for our son but I had to give up on him when it started affecting my health. My husband is just done.
Your story is testament to how strange life is. You don’t need validation from me but your other kids are testament that you did it right. I don’t know how Dear but that negative gene is just in the one who didn’t get it! Nothing you can do about that!
@@PezDawg8 Thank you. We still haven’t seen or spoken to our son and it’s still devastating. Our attempts to reach out to him over the years have either been smacked down or completely ignored. So we’ve had no choice but to move on and enjoy our lives. We’re not getting any younger. He knows where we are and how to reach us if he ever comes to his senses. Hopefully he wakes up one day to realize how much he was and still is loved, and how much he has thrown away.
I hope your son has a change of heart one day and reaches out never give up hope, It can happen one day
I am not willing to side with anyone. I don't personally know these people. God be with them.
Right we don’t know how he treated him as a child. And we don’t know if the kid is just an evil spiteful person. We don’t know.
You have no kids. So, you wont overstand
It's not about siding unless you are the true perpetrator. Or If you have children, you would understand.
@@ibillyduncan3512 Actually I do and an estranged husband. The precise reason I posted the comment.
@@isharee3039 You totally get it.
Love ❤️when you speak on this. Helps me get through my own struggles in this area. A lot of parents are going through this
