My mother is the exact same. She is so funny and hard working, but at the same time, she made sure to make everyone around her feel so low because they weren’t like her.
Josh Brolin is very insightful and he is lucky to be able to integrate and accept issues and people from his life. Some people are never able to think that critically. Well done, Josh Brolin.
My mother in law is a narcissist and everyone including her sons and sisters are scared of her. She is 90 and still hold that certain power. It’s horrendous. I stay away from her.
Jane was the ultimate nightmare client at an animal hospital I worked at in Montecito in the late 70'. Scenes in front of her young son, Josh, and James just standing there allowing it. Horrible woman.
I am so sorry to hear this. I grew up in Southern California. I lived in Santa Barbara twice. Once age 7 , again at age 21. Back in the 60s And 70s it was such a wonderful place. I spent a lot of time on that big old warf. I grew up with a Nass- mom too. She spent about an hour and a half - 2 hours DAILY just doing her own personal grooming. Bathing, hair, make-up, nails, wardrobe. So sad to hear about the tension in the home. Especially your dad's unhappiness. I think I was a young teen when I first had a crush on the amazingly handsome James Brolin , and his silky deep voice. I was so surprised when he married Barbara Streisand. That seemed so unlikely. I hope they are happy. Glad you survived your wild youth.😊
@@jhcali71 After being raised by narcissists - Some choose the dark side, some stay in the Light, as painful as that is, it is the best option by far. Josh Brolin obviously chose the Light.
💔 ~ Damn, I had NO idea the hell Josh Brolin went through in his formative years with his "family of origin" and mostly in regards to his Mom! However, wonderful to see him flourishing at this time in his life ... ❤️🩹
It is so damn common how many are narcissists. Thanks to the internet it is a real avalanche of information and revelations. People being exposed left and right. A huge Bright Light is being shone on the dark, dank cesspit of familial and societal narcissism. People are waking up to it and its getting harder for these demon-pigs to hide in plain sight, to blend in and do their dirty deeds.
I despise seeing abusive people made out to be a force to be reckoned with. His dad should have manned up and kept him safe from this. There's nothing funny or interesting about how Josh Brolin was treated as a child. His mother had mental illness and his father didn't care enough to stick his neck out for his son. Period.
Narcissists know exactly how to manipulate everyone around them -- they use different tactics on different people. They bully some people, and with other people they play the victim in order to guilt their that person into doing whatever they want. Dad was also a victim of this narcissist.
Life in Hollywood… and it sounds like his life with his spouses after have not been much different. I remember with Diane Lane it was all over the news that he was arrested for domestic abuse and violence. Not easy to escape the turmoil you learned to be “normal life with a spouse”

My mother was a narcissist. Narcissistic mothers hate their daughters. 1972 She almost killed me. I wish she had. It would’ve been better if I hadn’t continued to suffer.
His mother needed him to be this rowdy, dangerous character that she could vicariously live through. So he was trapped in her fantasy and did everything to ensure her attention. She needed him to be a certain way so she could like him... (not love him which she was incapable of)...because he then resembled a romanticized version she wanted to reflect back on her like an extension of some sorts. My mother was the same but with sports.
I think more accurately, Boomers get accused of being selfish, there's a difference. And that's usually just from young people who feel entitled to what the older people/their parents have/had. Pure narcissism is the new world order among the young now, and it's been an increasing trend for 40 years.
For example a Boomer can't fathom why or how someone becomes an "influencer." They'll tell you to grow up and get a real job. The influencer may actually make more money than the Boomer did, but that's incidental. It's really about the motivation. An influencer doesn't want a boss or coworkers telling them what to do, they must be the center of everything. They don't work well with others.
@@D-Fens_1632it's just taking advantage of an opportunity present in society now. That alone doesn't make it right or wrong, that is what people need to do to get ahead, take advantage of opportunities. I don't think it's healthy to follow a lot of them but that's a different story.
I named my son brolin after Josh I have always liked him but knew he had issues now I know why he had issues very sad that it was because of his mum...but he will always love her childrens love is so Pure and unconditional...❤
How come there is no adressing of the impact, the chronic trauma, the hurt , caused by his mother, the lack of the natural loyalty and good calming things a litle child need from his parent(s) ?
My father was a narcissist up until he passed away and as bad as he was, I still want to see him. His negative effect on me in a weird way, is missing from my life. She shaped his life in a bad way but he still feels a strong connection to her
I mean come on... gen z is literally single parent and domestic violence central, sure the old guard had it ruff but don't pretend they didn't have parental guidance while we barely got scaps for that.
Hell no. The 60s and 70s kids got it way easier compared to 90s kids 😂 you don’t know anything.. your generation literally raised ours, your generation is the ones that pushed technology on us, your generation got music instruments pushed on yall, yall had skateboarding which promotes learning how to get up and keep trying when you fall down … we got Gameboys , then the 60s and 70s generation pushed IPhones and the internet on us .. yall created these new generations
A middle school kid, a friend of my sons, back in the 80s, talked to me and said he wanted to move in with us because his mother wanted him to fail. I was stunned, first that he said it, and second that he was aware enough to have realized it. Smart kid, and he turned out to be right. After a few bumps in his life he squared himself away, works hard, has a normal wife and child . . . he did not turn out to be the failure his narcissistic mother was aiming for. Narcissists are some real family devouring creatures. Horrifying actually. Rather like an animal which eats it's own young. Just yuck.
Before I get to main point. Josh brolin is a Superb actor. He wasn't that long in prison. He had Dad hollywood actor father James Brolin bailed him out.
Sadly my ex and our second daughter are so this. My daughter is so much like him mom. I’ve tried. We have spent time, I’ve done so many therapies with her and solo to be the supportive parent, to connect with her, to understand what is happening… I kept asking people over the years from 8-18, what to do. To this day she eats people up. She has no real friends, she has a new love of her life every 6-9 months, the One, and then ruins their lives, goes from love bomber to to angry victim like the switch of a light.. it’s brutal to watch and it seems I can do nothing now … to anyone who it might matter, seek support from people other than therapists. Our education system has failed at the university level. That’s the place I might have done better. If I had better support for myself, maybe I could have seen how to be a better mom. Seen what she needed. I fully know it’s on me; as the parent. I did try. These conversations weren’t there, I could not see the places I could have been present or listened better.. or whatever. We really need healthy community, tribes, when raising kids. …
I was on board with your comment till you got to the part where you claim it essentially "takes a villiage". Children need focused parents not random neighbors. But even a good parent can't always prevail, if the other one is a sabateur. I'm sorry about your child. It's so hard when a child you love is either mentally ill, or just chooses a bad path. I have a niece and nephew that have both chosen to be selfish, hateful and criminal. He's a pedophile on top of it all, & even tried to drown his 2 daughters. Our family is destroyed.
I’m 64 and I love that JB had a wrongful criminal past as a juvenile as I myself had some harrowing stories because the juvenile court system didn’t know how to handle noncriminal youth that were deemed incorrigible or runaways (like Steve McQueen) and I from 12-18, ended up in foster-homes, group-homes, children’s homes like Hollygrove and institutions like California Youth Authority (CYA) and Boy’s Republic but Santa Barbara courthouse architecture has got nothing to do with Mexican architecture. What he should have said is Spanish architecture; the Spanish territory now the United States existed for over 350 yrs, much longer than the our 248 yrs. ps. My mother was not diagnosed but she was a manipulative self-destructive alcoholic control freak that ruined my father my family and the childhood of her 5 children who with her, existed on welfare but still managed to persevere beyond her own achievements.
Sandra Locke wrote a book on her relationship with Clint. And this was a woman that they knew quite well. Sandra had nothing but bad things to say about her. Described her as absolutely nuts and a major manipulator.
the same weird "thing" happened in pockets all over with kids in the 90s, i was in it and witnessed it, took my first "hit" at 13 as well, in 90. there were a pile of us kids that were that "thing", but only a handful that truly lived it, to many didn't survive, those of us who did are still kinda in it, in a way, we share a connection that transcends regular relationships and people. anyway ✊️ still sometimes stoned, still sometimes immaculate
he told the childhood stories of many, many 70-80's teens from coast to coast. wild & free, but angry, single motherhood changed it all by the mid-nineties, and the slow moving kids always got caught and ratted out everyone else crying to mommy
appalling. I am not a "fan" of this continued overemphasis on one's childhood but I must say it appears he has made constructive use of the experiences and that is the takeaway which justifies such public exposure of his early life.
Yep ... Poor,rich,Black, White, and Mexican.... My Gen X crew was diverse before diversity was forced on everybody. Our commonality was Parents that were too busy to pay much attention to any of us.
He just reminded me, he was going to read his account of taking acid at 13 on Rogan but got interrupted, I don't think he ever told the story. I wanna read his book.
Josh, your mom, an Agee, is related to Mathieu Agee who came to US in 1699 and settled outside of modern Richmond, VA. You have ancestors from Nante, France and St. Malo, Brittany, France. Being Huguenots, they fled persecution after the Edit of Nantes was revoked in 1685. My dad, an Agee, born in San Miguel, CA.- 1920. His grandfather, Samuel, is buried in Texas. My dad's family is buried in Paso Robles. Most Agee's in US are related. Being slave owners, there are many who took the name. Love it if you did Finding Your Roots.
These actors are such pos, I can't look at them the same anymore. Plus, he thinks he only been to juvenile detention twice? That's something you don't forget trust me
Of course he was heading down what his mom considered to be the “right road”. She more than likely had been programming him for that path his entire life.
EVERY actor has this stupid backstory about their "emotionally difficult" childhood. Like they all are heroes for "surviving". And that's what gives them that "deep well" to work with. They are all narcissists themselves. Newsflash.....everyone's mom and or dad was hard sometimes/all the time.
Just watching this, I agree. I had a vile nasty dad yet my mum stayed with him. We all have our stories, I’m a mum to one daughter who I had at 42, I’ve made mistakes because she’s spoiled, but at 22 she’s doing good. I just hope when I’m dead and gone she doesn’t think I treated her bad. My own mums alive and I think the world of her But even though she enabled him to hurt us, but such is life
My mother died when I was 13 and my father left me to take care of myself. He was a pilot. I had tons of cash but nobody gave a shit what I did. It pretty much ruined my priorities (as I tried to emulate my emotionally unavailable dad) my thought structure, my coping mechanisms, my life. When I was raising my own children I was still trying to please my unpleasable father. I didn't prioritize my own kids as I did him. Thankfully, I woke up before it was too late, and I have two wonderful children in their 30s who love me a lot. God knows there are times I let them down, but I have abjectly apologized & changed my ways. I can't change what happened in the past. But they have forgiven me. I'm very lucky.
Interesting how he blames his parents getting married solely on his mom and his dad has no responsibility in it. 🤔 I bet he has a hard time in relationships with women.
Parent's who are in a constant and consistent state of self-preservation narcissism and have also not surrendered their hearts to Jesus or God in order to become Holy Spirit filled, often lead their kids toward worshiping them, because they are relying on those kids to feel better about who they are instead of knowing who they are in relation to God. And satan is all to happy to reinforce these parents keeping them in that direction in hopes that it warps the child and eventually adults understanding of what a loving Heavenly Father is. It also is self-perpetuating generationally until someone young enough discerns what is happening and says "enough." For me and my house, we will serve The Lord.
Narcissism is a mental disorder… it has nothing to do with religion… My mother was a full-blown narcissist and the most self-professed Christian… We all were unhappy and walked on eggshells around her…
Amen. It's nice that all are welcome to comment in this public forum, instead of being bullied by hateful extremists who want to shut down free speech.
A person deals with the realization that their mother has used them to gratify her own life & self image, instead of raising them to have a productive life themselves, & you think he wants to screw her? The internet has seriously dumbed down young people. Nothing is more corrupting than a little bit of knowledge.
Sounds like you were very lucky, & have nice parents, so you can't imagine what it's like to have parents that are comfortable using you to gratify themselves. Thank your lucky stars.
I love that he can speak so openly. His truth-telling helps more people than he knows.
A narcissist will only bring drama and chaos to your life. Drama & Chaos. That’s all they have to offer.
One narcissist can poison lives of dozens.
A little leaven leavens the whole group.

Including inducing suicides.

That's ridiculous you can only speak about boomers you know well. It's as stupid as saying your gen are all limp spoiled brats.

My dad's family is buried in Paso Robles. Most Agee's in US are related. Being slave owners, there are many who took the name. Love it if you did Finding Your Roots.
he has famous parents and they didnt help???
I know this guy , and he knows me , I had a bit faster of a life , but real close .
No idea who this guy is but Ilike him.
Love Josh ❤
America was better back then. Kids were aloud to be kids. It worked out fine.
Nostaliga is an illusion. Every 15 mins someone commits suicide in america. Its been that way for a while.
What part, the heroin, the being in a gang, going to juvie...that's what he was doing "back then".
At 3:30 looks like Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon
That narcissistic grin is real..
These actors are such pos, I can't look at them the same anymore. Plus, he thinks he only been to juvenile detention twice? That's something you don't forget trust me
You're damn right! Sounds like a picnic compared to what I went through.
Wasn’t Josh Brolin an Army Ranger at one point? Or am I confusing him with another celebrity?
Of course he was heading down what his mom considered to be the “right road”. She more than likely had been programming him for that path his entire life.
EVERY actor has this stupid backstory about their "emotionally difficult" childhood. Like they all are heroes for "surviving". And that's what gives them that "deep well" to work with. They are all narcissists themselves. Newsflash.....everyone's mom and or dad was hard sometimes/all the time.
Just watching this, I agree. I had a vile nasty dad yet my mum stayed with him. We all have our stories, I’m a mum to one daughter who I had at 42, I’ve made mistakes because she’s spoiled, but at 22 she’s doing good. I just hope when I’m dead and gone she doesn’t think I treated her bad. My own mums alive and I think the world of her But even though she enabled him to hurt us, but such is life
You sound like a douchebag.
My mother died when I was 13 and my father left me to take care of myself. He was a pilot. I had tons of cash but nobody gave a shit what I did. It pretty much ruined my priorities (as I tried to emulate my emotionally unavailable dad) my thought structure, my coping mechanisms, my life.
When I was raising my own children I was still trying to please my unpleasable father. I didn't prioritize my own kids as I did him. Thankfully, I woke up before it was too late, and I have two wonderful children in their 30s who love me a lot. God knows there are times I let them down, but I have abjectly apologized & changed my ways. I can't change what happened in the past. But they have forgiven me. I'm very lucky.
7:55 His parents got divorced and they both ended up broke because it all went to the lawyers. What a SCAM!
Insane!
RKL shout out! 😮
What a shame he had a Mother like this.I hope he learned not to be like her and not to carry it on to the next generation.
I bet you no one respected or cared for her. That’s probably the real story
Interesting how he blames his parents getting married solely on his mom and his dad has no responsibility in it. 🤔 I bet he has a hard time in relationships with women.
It seems that his father is quite submissive. Not that uncommon.
This guy and Dennis Quaid are pure Americana.
makes sense why Thanos did what he did😂
Sounds like a rather extreme case of unresolved separation anxiety🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I always thought Barbara Streisand was his mom.. lol
wow been there done that. my mom was the Best. Dirt bikes Two Tracks Guns And Fun.
Bigfoot Bjornsen?
Something about this guy is off. I'm thinking a lack of intelligence but it could be something else.
It's always the mother.....nuff' said.
No plenty of dads like this too.
Parent's who are in a constant and consistent state of self-preservation narcissism and have also not surrendered their hearts to Jesus or God in order to become Holy Spirit filled, often lead their kids toward worshiping them, because they are relying on those kids to feel better about who they are instead of knowing who they are in relation to God. And satan is all to happy to reinforce these parents keeping them in that direction in hopes that it warps the child and eventually adults understanding of what a loving Heavenly Father is. It also is self-perpetuating generationally until someone young enough discerns what is happening and says "enough." For me and my house, we will serve The Lord.
Narcissism is a mental disorder… it has nothing to do with religion… My mother was a full-blown narcissist and the most self-professed Christian… We all were unhappy and walked on eggshells around her…
Stop bringing your god into a conversation just because you're delusional doesn't mean to rest the world needs to be.
@@anitakephart3851 I wish you the best 3851, we can agree to disagree on spiritual warfare.
Ahmein JC! HalleluYah!
Amen. It's nice that all are welcome to comment in this public forum, instead of being bullied by hateful extremists who want to shut down free speech.
Oedipus complex?
Excuse me? 🤯🤯
A person deals with the realization that their mother has used them to gratify her own life & self image, instead of raising them to have a productive life themselves, & you think he wants to screw her? The internet has seriously dumbed down young people. Nothing is more corrupting than a little bit of knowledge.
Na all set w this guy ….. who cares
Does he ever stop whining about his privileged background?
Having a narcissistic mother is not a privilege.
Most people have a messed up parent. It could have been much much worse, she sure was extremely attractive though.
Yes, it was all his mother’s fault. Gimme a break.
Boo hoo.
Everyone wants to blame their parents... I'm sure they did the best they could in the situation.
The most toxic response. Hit a nerve much? If that was “their best” then try to imagine their worst
People don't necessarily try to do their best.
Often they just just do the same year after year and never look introspectively.
@@anitakephart3851Awesome response!
Sounds like you were very lucky, & have nice parents, so you can't imagine what it's like to have parents that are comfortable using you to gratify themselves. Thank your lucky stars.
