True facts. It is probably the most despicable because children are innocent and they're counting on anybody older than them to treat them right, care for them, and protect them from evil and danger. It is unconscionable and those types of thoughts don't even manifest in the minds of a lot of human beings. Only someone of a depraved mind is capable of such a heinous act. Especially when they do it repeatedly. Those with clean hands and a pure shall see the face of God. Or as Jesus said in one of His parables " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God". Evil of that caliber is the work of the devil.
I was 5 and it continued till almost 9.He was my mother's brother our baby sitter that lived with us. Next he had me my brother and cousin doing this to each other.He said I would be a big trouble if I told. I thought it was normal. Found out some years ago that he got in trouble for molesting 3rd generation. It does affect you. Confusing life! 🙁 cousins… yes it
bruh...when he said, "If someone tells you there's a boogie man in their room...please go check." and then breaks down into tears...that shit hit me hard. This dude was deeply damaged as a child and all he wants is to get another chance at life, and to prevent what happened to him from ever happening to another innocent child.
@@melissa.3359 Same. The way he fears even being around his children because he doesn't want to put himself in a position where he could molest a child is truly the saddest part.
I don't think people realize the amount of weight this man was able to get off chest just by being able to sit down and tell his story. Thank you for what you do mark, God bless.
I just saw this comment as I glanced down, but had just thought about how relieved he seems to feel to be heard...so grateful I found this channel... amazing work...and amazing ripples are created by such truths...sure makes me realize how fortune my life has been
Damn, he said “I’m tired of just existing and I wanna start living.” That brought me to tears. I hope this man receives help, love, and support that he needs.
@@NatFRA-ho6epThat’s not something people predict will happen or choose to happen, that man had children and had a realization that he had been hurt and could hurt others through his lack of a childhood. That’s mercy, mercy is seen as love in many eyes.
@@niviavallejo7453 when humans stop blaming God and start taking responsibilities for our actions, the world will become a much better place to live in. God didn't do anything wrong to that child, it was a human being who did. I'm an Atheist by the way
His being afraid to be close to his kids shows a small example of the ripple effect sexual abuse has. It’s destruction affects not only its victims but everyone in its wake for generations to come. Thank you for your bravery, Tyrone.
When my mother was 89 years old she told me her secret. She was molested by her alcoholic much older brother as a little girl & shuffled around without anyone addressing it at all (she had ulcers by the time she was 7 yrs old & it continued for years). She told no one. Not even as a grown married woman with 5 children of her own. I asked her why she never told her husband (my father) & she simply said if she’d told him he’d probably have killed her brother. I was the only one she told . My uncle,her molester, came in through her window at night. She kept it all inside for all her life. How’d she manage? She became a comedian (and a wonderful gentle mother …never even spanked. )
It's unbearable to think that I've never told anyone either and I've suffered the consequences for that. To be quite honest, my life has been riddled with issues. I was addicted to oxy, cough syrup and xanax since I was 16. I largely got clean at age 24, but then I just got incredibly addicted to school and making a career for myself in Computer Science / Software Engineering (I have a great career now). I have always neglected my personal life and instead get obsessed with things to make excuses to not deal with real life. Generally that is being a workaholic. I'm an incredible programmer, but mostly because that's my way of not dealing with life is programming. As of recent, I've been on the verge of serious emotional distress. If it wasn't for the Xanax I am on, I'd probably end up in tears most days. I feel so incredibly alone. I don't know why but I carry the shame around from being sexually molested around, all my life. I was 4 years old when it happened. From the time I was 4 until I was 23, I had pretty much convinced myself that it didn't happen. That it was a weird nightmare that I'd had, but when I went to rehab, got sober for a few days, I came to realize it was a repressed memory with my therapist. I guess I started indulging in drugs the moment I found them to take my mind out of the uncomfortable place I always felt I was in. I was 14 when I first started drinking my mom's codeine, when I was 15 I was taking xanax methadone and codeine. By the time I was 16, I had my own access to a large amount of pharmaceuticals from my own source. I stayed out there, using, until I was almost 24. And today, my life still suffers because I've stayed quiet about it. For anyone reading this, it's not worth staying quiet about it. I need to find a therapist to speak to. I'm 30 now and it's getting unbearable. No lie.
The fact that he’s distanced himself from his children because he’s scared he will hurt them, because he was hurt as a kid, breaks my heart in pieces. So much love to you Tyrone ❤️
It is most likely not that he would hurt them, but because he was traumatized as a child he would see that through his kids, and he doesn't want to think about what happened to him happening to his children. Why he doesn't want to "even go there"
I have never wanted to jump through a phone, and hug someone so bad. This broke my heart. Thank you Mark for going to him, and giving him a hug. What a sweet man ❤Stay strong
My brother I sincerely feel your pain. Thank you for sharing your story. No one, especially not a child should endure such abhorrent behavior. You can’t blame yourself for mistaking abuse for affection. You didn’t know. What you didn’t know . I hope you find yourself . Keep your mind and your body strong .There is hope . Yes and if you start living instead of just being your ugly memories will fade to the back and replaced with new happier times .Talk to people bro . When you are at your lowest share your feelings . Get feedback . Talk to the right people. Here goes a hug my brother because I can relate and watching you hurt, killed me. Prayer is always good. Stay strong. I’m out Sincerely Your friend.
I read your comment and thought I was ready for the actual part of the video. I was not, absolutely chilling and sad. Makes me wish I could go back in time and save Little Tyrone.
16:41 that last moment tore me up. “It might not be what they said it was, but there’s something in that room. And you need to check.” I wish someone had checked for Tyrone. Goosebumps and tears. I hope he does find a way to start living.
He said he’s sorry for dragging on with his story and I’m sitting here holding back tears with profound respect! This is the most powerful story yet I’ve seen on this channel. Thank you! 🙏
@@moeynola6747 was simply repeating what the gentleman said. not here to give my opinions on whose to blame or any negativity. it would lead to unnecessary time spent in a long thread of arguments anger and hurt from everyone here . id say if this man happens to read these hes already been through enough of that . id rather him see what true love is from others , the opposite has shown it’s damage. why repeat it . he already knows the ugly side . just trying to show compassion .
I m so deeply sorry for this human being, abused, and never let grown as he should have been. It hurts so bad to ear such memories and think about that little boy
@@moeynola6747 look if this man could show compassion for his grandma an he's the victim, than their should be no negative comments coming from you, I'm pretty sure he had to deal with alot of emotion's over the years dealing with his grandmothers role in the situation to get to the place where he is now with out you adding any of your negativity to his situation.
The way he speaks about not knowing how to be around his kids gave me peace about my baby daddy having abandoned our daughter. He and his mom (and who knows how many others in the family) experienced child sex abuse and it kind of clicked for me to hear Tyrone' s tragic story in this way. Bless this beautiful man, may he find peace 💜
Being a kid and having that feeling of "why couldn't you just look out for me just a little bit?" is one of the worst feelings I've seen in somebody's eyes.
That’s how I know there’s no god. Life is just life. If there was anything looking out for us it would never allow some of things that happen to us especially as children.
@@gimmeehands1 HE gave us free will. It is up to us to choose good or evil. I suspect you once had faith and something happened that hurt and angered you. What is so beautiful is that HE will forgive you if you ask. I will pray for you and hope you will go to HIM and trust that HE does love you. HE created you from the palm of HIS hand.♥️🙏
@@kayjay407 The logical fallacy when someone tries to argue for religion (indoctrinate) is to always wait for an outcome, then adjust the starting point. That way they will always be right. Even when using their own talking points that falter in their own thought processes. It's what circular arguments are. You can't argue faith and then say that it's fact.
Man, this hit my heart! We talk about Fathers being absent for many reasons, but the discussion of this particular type of fear is rare. This man sacrificed a relationship with his children to make sure he didn't become what happened to him. He's carrying a lot & my soul weeps for him.
“There’s a difference between existing and living. Cause when you’re existing, you’re just here. When you’re living, you enjoy life.” is an incredibly profound statement that should resonate with everyone. (10:03)
This man was let down by every person in his life that was supposed to protect him and he's still here telling his story, that's a strength seldom seen, I hope he gets the guidance he desperately seeks
He pulled himself away from his kids because he didn't even trust himself to be around them. The fear and pain in his eyes when he says "when your kids, neices, nephews, whatever says there's a boogeyman in my room. Go check... Because it might not be the boogeyman but there's something in that room." Really stood out to me. All he wanted was to be protected...
That’s what broke me down even more bc so many of these babies use that expression to describe someone who’s hurting them the pain in he face & eyes tells it all please protect these babies they are all we got & the future depends on them I’m praying for this man anyone who has been hurt like this bc no one deserves to live with this type of pain 😢
"mama wasn't gon say nothing, mama quiet anyway." the fact that he still tries to reason with his mother's silence during his abuse hurts my heart more than anything.
@Christina Graham you make a valid point, but I dont get why you added laughing emojis. It's sad that he even attempted to rationalise his mother's behavior. He didnt deserve her silence.
Prayer may be worthless to you, but not to others. Respect people’s beliefs. God has a plan for everyone. Or, the universe does. Maybe marks channel is this guys first steps towards healing and moving forward
Despite his pain, and what may be deemed as “socially awkward,” Tyrone is highly intuitive, intelligent and compassionate. He has a big heart, and a mind of a warrior… due to his ability to keep moving forward. His strength makes many complaints people have as something to be appreciative. Since life as Tyrone knows/knew, is deep, profound and sentimental. In how each person deserves their dignity
“You have to feel it, to heal it!” I’m 47 and have been working with a brilliant psychologist for the last 2 and a half years. Healing from severe childhood and generational trauma. It’s never too late!!
@@carolinerowles5951 It really SUCKS GIANT BALLS at first. Bringing up and reliving all the trauma. But you have to do all the hard work to heal. Lean into the discomfort, that’s where the real personal growth comes from. Much love, strength and peace, all the way from Country Victoria. Australia. Xx
When he said “if a child says there is a boogeyman in their room please go check” broke my heart…So many parents don’t ever believe their kids are being touched, especially if it’s by a family member which makes them believe it’s okay and nobody cared or will ever believe them
I would go to prison or to my grave if a boogeyman was ever in my kids room. I promise that. I wish so badly that I could save all of these people as children. My kids will never EVER bear that burden. Never. I will help them put their fish tanks and lizard cages together and take them to gymnastics and basketball practices and go for walks and watch nature all damn day. Watch them play on the trampoline. Put things together with them. My kids will NEVER KNOW these boogeymen. I pray for him.
I had an alcoholic father too. My mother left him and we had an amazing step father, who adopted my sister and I. He was an angel. He never touched us. My father told him don’t ever touch my girls. Don’t ever lay a finger on them and he never did. That was the only thing he ever really did for us to protect us. My dad that raised us helped us with homework and he helped us get our first car. He helped us with anything we needed and never laid a finger on us but to tuck us in at night and hug us. My mother was never a very emotionally loving person because of her father and up bringing but my step dad was like our savior and he has played that same role for my sister and my children. His grandchildren. He never has biological children of his own, he fully took on the strong woman my mom was and my sister and I. He is a god send and I don’t know what my life would have been like without him to this day. I remember when my mom was single I was In a playground in a bad neighborhood playing with my friend and a man pulled up in a semi and flashed sex toys at us and told us to go with him. I have no doubt we would have ended up on a milk carton had we went with him. I am so thankful for my upbringing after that.
The one that breaks the silence is the one that heals a generations 🙏🏽. I avoid sad stories quite often just for my mental health, but as soon as I realized which direction this story was about to take I compelled myself to watch till the end, I'm glad I did. What a tremendously brave soul, may he receive all the care and healing he deserves 🌷
I have never once written a comment online anywhere & im 46yo. God bless this brother & his emence courage & perserverence. Through his story, there is a lesson for us all. God bless him.
@@vesturedippedinblood4450 Jesus Christ should have stopped that man from abusing him. Stop the nonsense!!! If your Jesus exists he watched it happen, making him an accessory to child abuse.
Both of you can blame god if it makes you feel better.... Just get over it, he is over it more than you both are and fighting ovee who to be mad at is toxic.
@@tonitorrez8290 1st, nobody's fighting over anything. Deflecting to deities is condescending and illogical. That was my point. And I don't know what video you watched, but that man is CLEARLY not "over it".
“Im tired of existing i wanna start living”:( my guy is 54 years old and still doesn’t know man this is the saddest video ive watch on youtube but makes me appreciate the parents i have
He hears songs now and sees things that take him back to that horror. He's traumatized....PTSD. God bless him. People watch the children, protect them.
This man hasn't said one bad thing about anyone, including the person that hurt him.GOD Bless tis man and thank you for being honest.Someone is destined to watch this that needs to hear this.
Tyrone I know this interview is 2 years old and you probably won't see my comment. I just wanted to let you know that hearing your words and your struggle opened my eyes to the fact that I need to be a better son, brother, grandson, nephew, friend and honestly just a better person. You really helped me remember the importance of family and how important being part of a family is, and how blessed I am to have a family that loves me even when I haven't been the best man I can be. Thank you for your bravery and for your story. I hope you are doing well bro!
@@lleris74 "bound" by his past, he darkens his future with his thinking. because his lack of guidance and proper care as child did not harbor a mindset that would let him Let Go. something that is hard for Men who all have pride, even if they were raised under the perfect conditions.
@@KreepKarnage everyone's different it took me 31 years to let go of something that held me back my whole adulthood which effected me as a person but more importantly as a father and husband. This past year has been the best for my family. God bless this man and hope he finds the answers he is looking for
I thought that too as I listened to him. He said he wanted to be as strong as his Daddy but whether he knows it or not he is actually stronger than his Daddy and very intelligent and down to earth.
I'm a social worker. Mr. Tyrone breaks my heart. He blames himself for his own abuse and struggles so hard. Thank you for giving him the time to talk. Being a witness to someone else's journey is important.
Social worker? Hope your a good social worker all the countless children in foster care or in a home that need rescuing and most social workers gave a blind eye or not enough skills to know the difference.
This poor man is nothing more than a little boy aching inside. We all are. We age but the secret no one talks about is that inside we’re still that child version of ourselves trying to survive
Society persuades us that if we act or look different that we should believe that we are lesser-than. "It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Kishnamurti
Very true, that is why so many people related to the film"Moonlight". It's a meditation on the idea that if we don't get what we need as children, we never really grow up. We might make alot of money, build big muscles or act strong and self confident, but deep down we remain that lost empty child looking for love.
@@eldiablo9726 We are all products of our environment until we learn to think for ourselves and understand that we are more than the cultural labels we are told we are.
Mark I'm so relieved that after the interview you got up and hugged him. I am not a religious person by any stretch but I just said a prayer for this man. I sincerely hope wherever he is today he is starting to truly live.
I’m tired of existing ... I want to start living ~ Tyrone ~ I think this would be a great saying to put on T shirts/sweatshirts... But I can only design my ideas in Photoshop.... I never had the capital to invest into a silk screener and start up costs...but if I did I would do this and donate all profits made to Tyrone.
This is a subject that black people avoid, we are so vocal in fighting against abuse for girls and women but not boys and men. The abuse from his childhood has completely destroyed him. I pray this man finds peace and healing. Because even at 54 he still deserves that
Blissfulblu~ Your comment is absolutely correct but in addition I would like to say: This is a subject that’s Avoided by People of Every Race. These detrimental acts of inhumane abuse some children endure doesn’t discriminate, they effect all walks of life.
Sitting here, 9.15 pm sunday night in New Zealand, - 16 september. - Hearing this man's pain. Exact words i have spoken to myself, " Existing, but not living". - " Bro, i feel your pain in my soul, " I don't have anything, to help, money etc, - but just know, - that i know. - and crying for both of us. much love, from other side of the world, ( small country - near australia ) xxxxx

“They thought I was just scared to go in the dark, be in my room by myself, but they didn’t realise I wasn’t by myself” Might be the most powerful and heartbreaking thing I ever heard, I doubt I’ll ever forget this interview and the bravery of this man
These are exploitive. ... It's wrong to profit off others pain... The lil bit of cash he give them not enough to change their lives. People exposing their souls like this deserve real comfort and help not to be used for views. Feel like this is more harmful than helpful.
The way he ended by saying he meant no disrespect just broke my heart even more. As if him telling his story might somehow be offensive or a burden to anyone. I’m so glad Mark walked up and hugged him after that. And I hope he continues to find safe spaces where he can process all he’s been through without thinking he needs to apologize for it.
Everyone needs to see this so that we can remind ourselves of our humanity . It’s easy to become calloused to the world around us. But their are times when we must someone who is more hurt than ourselves . Something as simple as saying hello or just listening to someone can mean the world to that individual . Everyone is allowed their dignity , it’s an easy thing to give.
Mark, is there any chance you can tell us how he’s doing, will help you were able to get him, and God willing at some point I’ll follow up that shows him on a path to healing.
This is really horrible to hear. I worked with children in state custody for over 20 years so I’ve heard a million of these stories but it still kills me to hear how people violate children. I just can’t understand how someone could violate that innocence. All I can say is God bless him.❤
There are powers of darkness in this world that have done everything possible to create chaos and bedlam especially abuse of children as a means to damage society in order to gain power and control over it. There's nothing that damages entire populations more than rampant sex abuse of minors. Praying for America's and the worlds children.
I am in tears. I can relate to his story. I was about the same age as Tyrone when my abuse started. It lasted from age 5ish or 6 to about 12. My mom allowed it just to keep a man...for YEARS so...basically my mom pimped me out to her husband so that her bills could be paid and me and my younger brother could eat. I told my mom when i was first raped at about 5ish or 6 and she beat me so bad that I couldn't even cry anymore. I'll NEVER forget it. I never received counseling until I was an adult. I used an entire box of tissue my first day of therapy. I could no longer just exist as I was....pressure started to burst pipes and the superwoman I thought I was came crashing down. I had to literally reconstruct myself. Bless his heart...and I pray that Tyrone does seek counseling so that he can "live" within.
I can't relate to what you went through but I hope you are in a much safer and healthier place now. It's horrible, I have no common ground to even begin to understand how awful it is, but I hope you have been able to receive support to heal ❤️
@@capSAR thank you so much. Yes I am in a MUCH better place than I had been. I can say that even though therapy was uncomfortable to start it helped me rebuild "ME" both mentally and spiritually, and I learned to not let my past dictate my future. It feels good. God is dope!
I'm sorry that happened to you. I pray for you and I apologize for your mom who was most likely broken n took it out on you. You deserved to be protected and was sacrificed instead. I bind my faith with yours for your healing n deliverance. ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I will never forget this beautiful soul's face. He's still that young boy trapped in his bedroom, stuck in a 54 year olds body. I hope he is able to get help from someone seeing this video and find peace, joy and love in his life. What courage he had to tell his story...My heart is aching out of my chest right now. Much love to this man...much love.
I don't think I've ever seen such a painful interview with another human being as this. The amount of trauma this man is just carrying around inside of him is staggering. You can feel it in every sentence of his story.
Damn straight. The guy deserves a medal. His father, on the other hand, deserved an ass-kicking. His number one job was not his job but protecting his boy from a paedophilic scumbag
Yeah this sh!t hurt me watching. I ended up sending this video to my mama with a nice little lengthy message attached to it. I won’t go into details but I let her know to NEVER let my child go around that sick, creepy a.ss “family” of hers EVER again in life. EVER!
Tyrone if you ever see this: you’re an incredible human who deserves love, healing, and protection. Thank you for telling your story, may you be released from your suffering. So many people you’ve never met love you
This broke my heart! Can’t tell me that his parents or other adults in the family didn’t know that he was molested by that man. They just let it happen. They were the worst stewards for a child.
Yup they must’ve , it ruined this guys life ...as he says he just exists i hope now he has addressed his demons he can get the help and support he urgently needs.
Jesus. I've been binging this channel with the comfort of objectivity from the other side of the world, but this one hit me like an express train. I don't think I've ever wanted to give another man (same age as me) a hug so much. I really hope he gets to read all the love in these comments and know that so many people are rooting for him to stop just existing and start actually living. I hope he can find a way to leverage that determination and start moving forwards. Big love to this man, big love.
The fact that he doesn’t see his kids because he’s afraid of what he might think is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard... I pray for him and his mental health.
Unconsciously rocking to console himself, telling his story from his young perspective with “Daddy” “Momma.” Heartbreaking. Those memories are still very vivid for him. Bless his heart. 🙏🏼
Another childhood violated. "He sat at the table." And "they let him in." When the adults that are supposed to protect you don't, the world Itself makes no sense. Ever in life.
I absolutely love this channel. It makes me realize that listening to others is the greatest thing you can do. This applies everyone but especially for men, having someone there who cares enough to just listen to you, is priceless. I hate that as a man, talking about my problems makes me feel weak. This is the perfect example of someone who just wants to be heard. He’s not weak for breaking down. He’s human. It’s beautiful.
This is the first grown man who has made me cry in my entire life. The amount of pain inside him makes me question how much a human can endure. Through all that he has been through and the wrongs that's been done to him you can still see that sweet little boy looking up for a hug. Brother if you ever read this, know you got love from me and try to understand that if you got through that then everything else in this life is a cake walk comparatively. You ain't never gone have to go back in that room buddy. Your safe now.
His story, the way he tells it... chills to my bones. I truly, truly hope he finds the way to start living and then finds a way to reconnect with his kids. Cause god knows, he deserves it.
We come out of our childhood as"damaged goods", with "issues". For our entire lifetime we pay a heavy debt we never owed - day in and day out. My heart is right there with you, Tyrone. I'm 71 years old. For me it's almost over, thank God.
The fact that he loves his children so much he has separated himself from them to protect them from himself hurting them. But it also hurts him that he cant be the father he needs to be to them. I hope his children will understand this segment and why he made his choices and the mothers of his children too!
Hurt people hurt people and he broke the cycle! His kids will grow up differently now but I hope they understand when they get older. I was existing before I finally became a mom last year at 35. I just want to hug this man and never let him go. He's still a scared little kid and it breaks my heart! Him and his kids are in my prayers❤
I have never heard anyone talk about sexual abuse as clearly as this man here. His message got through to me. This man told his story so well that no other words could be said afterwards.
Thank you Mark for providing a space safe enough for people like Tyrone to be able to speak their truth. Tyrone - I want to give you the BIGGEST HUG EVER!!! I'm so happy you felt you could tell this story, you should be so proud of yourself for having this courage
The fact that this man had the STRENGTH to admit his pain, and still have manners and respect for others, is inspiring and heartbreaking. Like so many of you wonderful people wrote here: NEVER JUDGE, because you don’t. know. what. they’ve. been. through.
When Mark hugs you? Yeah, you had a hell of a story for sure. I never cry watching these but I'm really emotional right now. Saddest story I've heard, sending love to you bro.
You never know what someone is going thru.. it took a lot of courage for him to tel this story. & took him years to get those emotions out..I feel for this man fr
Takes a helluva man to express these kinds of emotions and memories, especially on camera. Much love to you Tyrone, I hope you find peace in this crazy, crazy world.
@@user-2Hteyasizyc it's like you are trying to project yourself onto others. It's because of ppl like you, why ppl like this can't get over their past. Society has made it taboo to speak about. Mainly because ppl who commit these atrocities are the ones who make it that way.
"...they had their own thing going on and it wasn't me." Tyrone talking about his dad and uncle living their lives and leaving him to get abused. Absolutely heartbreaking.
I almost clicked away at 4 min. I thought to myself how weak am I? I can't listen to this man's story and he lived it? Tyrone if you see this comment know that you are strong to keep moving forward. Your father would be proud I am going to speculate. You have moved me to tears and saved children with your video. Every parent should see this.
Same! I clicked away because I couldn't take it only to come back today and finish it. Broke my heart but I'm glad I stayed to watch. It's important to hear stories like these! I have a male cousin who I've seen grow up. I never knew what was going on at his place and he didn't tell me till he was in his late teens. By then the damage had already been done. His step father molested him and his mom didn't believe him (took her husband's side). He went from being the sweetest kid to developing serious anger issues which now landed him in jail. It's so heartbreaking seeing him go from an innocent vibrant kid to a broken spirit angry at the world. Rightfully so! Betraying a child in this manner robs them of so much! They don't see the trail of destruction they leave behind. They see someone's innocence and pervert it for their own agenda. It sickening!
@@SC-sn3xs a lot of these stories on SWU hit so hard, from pimps to escorts to drug addicts. I listen cuz it gives such a wide perspective on life, especially cuz I’m only 16. It’s hard to listen to but I almost feel like I need to because all he wants is to be heard
I was so relieved to see Mark give him a hug there at the end. Because that’s all I wanted to do was just give this man a hug. That was one of the most heartbreaking few minutes of my life. Prayers that God gives this man peace.
@gxlbiscuit The teacher is always quiet during the test. Believe. I too am getting back to my faith but I do believe in our heavenly loving father. Through his only son he has given us access for eternal life! Christianity is a force for good in this world, a force we so desperately need !!
It's disturbing and heart breaking to see how many children had their innocence ripped from them. It only takes one person to speak up and they all failed him. I wish him peace
This man just broke my heart into a million pieces... apologizing for himself and his emotions! Why do people have children if they can't protect / care for them??
Because, like mom says, I kept getting pregnant! Not because she wanted to! Hope this helps you understand. Stay safe and beware the alcoholic single mom! Danger to her children and full of self!
Do you know how many happily married people I know that didn’t “plan” on a second or third or even first kid… it’s not always methodical and planned out. So if smart good people mess up… don’t you think these other people do the same thing? The only difference is being ready for it, not so much purposely having the child when suitable for one. I was an accident and had unbelievable parents and family. These people would have failed in life even without a baby. It’s called sex and semen tends to be more potent than others. And Women tend to be more fertile than others… plain and simple.
I am so glad Mark just let him vent, I was so invested in his story.. He is self aware, so open, and honest with himself. I really hope he gets the help that he needs, I can tell that this man has a heart full of gold. He deserves peace and healing. Looking forward to an update on Tyrone in the near future
I’m speechless…thank you Mark for providing this man with a safe place to get this off his chest😢, I’m heartbroken. Please update us on Tyrone if you haven’t..🥺
Absolutely broke my heart to see the broken inner child of a grown man come out through his tears. He has a beautiful soul regardless of everything that has happened to him and i hope he heals from everything that ever happen to him. Where ever you are brother god bless you, and when a child tells me the boogyman is in their room i will always check.
You are so right, this interview was with the child not the man. Such a courageous thing to do especially for a man. Mark is the perfect listener, providing the space and trust for this person to be heard, the chance to tell someone finally.
He looked like a child when he said “please go check that room if your kid says the boogeyman is in there” and it broke my heart. All he wanted was someone to care. I don’t think I’ve seen someone with this much pain before. I want to give him a hug so badly.
Mark ...I admire that you didn't overwhelm him with questions... you let him pour out... that was needed, he has released...and I know exactly how he feels , my cousin was the boogeyman and he got in the bed with me, my mother worked nights...yes the boogeyman is REAL...watch your children and pay attention to them ...listennnnnn❤
Ive always protected my daughter from anyone like my past stepdad. I will watch my granddaughters too until my last breath! My mom also worked night shift and was never home. She drank when she was off. I was scared to say anything to prevent more chaos in the house. God Bless anyone going through this!
My Dad used to send me to Egypt to stay in my Holidays with my family there. Each time my cousin used to abuse me. My Dad never did anything and my mom either. They did not know. And what you don’t know does not heat you up. But i knew, and still know how painful it was.
I'm a therapist. Watching this is heartbreaking. NO ONE SAVED HIM! He's been going through trauma for 50 years. I'm proud of him for letting his guard down and speaking on this secret he's held for decades. For him taking about it now, he understands he wasn't his fault.
You carry it long enough it either kills you or it bleeds out of you. Every time you have a conversation it pours out of you because nobody's listened to you yet, so you may as well tell everyone on the off chance someone, anyone listens.
I'm so sorry you went through that. I am even more sorry you are still carrying it. I hope you find a professional that you can tell and that will help you. Sending love, compassion and blessings.
Tyrone: "I always wanted to be like my dad, he was STRONG!" little does he know how much stronger he actually is than his dad, few men are as strong as you Tyrone

Child molestation is truly the most damaging and despicable crime there is.
True facts. It is probably the most despicable because children are innocent and they're counting on anybody older than them to treat them right, care for them, and protect them from evil and danger. It is unconscionable and those types of thoughts don't even manifest in the minds of a lot of human beings. Only someone of a depraved mind is capable of such a heinous act. Especially when they do it repeatedly. Those with clean hands and a pure shall see the face of God. Or as Jesus said in one of His parables " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God". Evil of that caliber is the work of the devil.
The crazy thing to remember is that a huge percentage of people that damage kids were damaged children themselves.
Comparing trauma 💀💀💀
I was 5 and it continued till almost 9.He was my mother's brother our baby sitter that lived with us. Next he had me my brother and cousin doing this to each other.He said I would be a big trouble if I told. I thought it was normal. Found out some years ago that he got in trouble for molesting 3rd generation. It does affect you. Confusing life! 🙁 cousins… yes it
@@jessicaveylan4265 I was molested by my dad. He was molested at the same age he did it to me. My mom was also molested.
bruh...when he said, "If someone tells you there's a boogie man in their room...please go check." and then breaks down into tears...that shit hit me hard. This dude was deeply damaged as a child and all he wants is to get another chance at life, and to prevent what happened to him from ever happening to another innocent child.
Straight up! Don't brush it off they not lying

That got me; hit like a ton of bricks.
You couldn't have worded it any better 👏🏻 I 100% agree with this, I had a semi rough child hood but not like this man.
@@melissa.3359 Same. The way he fears even being around his children because he doesn't want to put himself in a position where he could molest a child is truly the saddest part.
I don't think people realize the amount of weight this man was able to get off chest just by being able to sit down and tell his story. Thank you for what you do mark, God bless.

Damn, he said “I’m tired of just existing and I wanna start living.” That brought me to tears. I hope this man receives help, love, and support that he needs.

@@niviavallejo7453 when humans stop blaming God and start taking responsibilities for our actions, the world will become a much better place to live in. God didn't do anything wrong to that child, it was a human being who did. I'm an Atheist by the way
His being afraid to be close to his kids shows a small example of the ripple effect sexual abuse has. It’s destruction affects not only its victims but everyone in its wake for generations to come. Thank you for your bravery, Tyrone.
When my mother was 89 years old she told me her secret. She was molested by her alcoholic much older brother as a little girl & shuffled around without anyone addressing it at all (she had ulcers by the time she was 7 yrs old & it continued for years). She told no one. Not even as a grown married woman with 5 children of her own. I asked her why she never told her husband (my father) & she simply said if she’d told him he’d probably have killed her brother. I was the only one she told . My uncle,her molester, came in through her window at night. She kept it all inside for all her life. How’d she manage? She became a comedian (and a wonderful gentle mother …never even spanked. )
@@ziggy33399 Most comedians have dark pasts, and they use comedy as therapy
It's unbearable to think that I've never told anyone either and I've suffered the consequences for that. To be quite honest, my life has been riddled with issues. I was addicted to oxy, cough syrup and xanax since I was 16. I largely got clean at age 24, but then I just got incredibly addicted to school and making a career for myself in Computer Science / Software Engineering (I have a great career now). I have always neglected my personal life and instead get obsessed with things to make excuses to not deal with real life. Generally that is being a workaholic. I'm an incredible programmer, but mostly because that's my way of not dealing with life is programming. As of recent, I've been on the verge of serious emotional distress. If it wasn't for the Xanax I am on, I'd probably end up in tears most days. I feel so incredibly alone. I don't know why but I carry the shame around from being sexually molested around, all my life. I was 4 years old when it happened. From the time I was 4 until I was 23, I had pretty much convinced myself that it didn't happen. That it was a weird nightmare that I'd had, but when I went to rehab, got sober for a few days, I came to realize it was a repressed memory with my therapist. I guess I started indulging in drugs the moment I found them to take my mind out of the uncomfortable place I always felt I was in. I was 14 when I first started drinking my mom's codeine, when I was 15 I was taking xanax methadone and codeine. By the time I was 16, I had my own access to a large amount of pharmaceuticals from my own source. I stayed out there, using, until I was almost 24. And today, my life still suffers because I've stayed quiet about it. For anyone reading this, it's not worth staying quiet about it. I need to find a therapist to speak to. I'm 30 now and it's getting unbearable. No lie.
It almost sounded like he's attracted to his own daughters when he brought that up, he's all fucked up from his childhood experiences.

The fact that he’s distanced himself from his children because he’s scared he will hurt them, because he was hurt as a kid, breaks my heart in pieces. So much love to you Tyrone ❤️
It is most likely not that he would hurt them, but because he was traumatized as a child he would see that through his kids, and he doesn't want to think about what happened to him happening to his children. Why he doesn't want to "even go there"

The end broke me. "If your child tells you there is a boogeyman in their room, please go check!" Jeez. I pray this man healing!!!

This man deserves to be held and to just weep. His soul deserves a deep rest.

It's even worse seeing those eyes in a mirror.😥

@@kayjay407 The logical fallacy when someone tries to argue for religion (indoctrinate) is to always wait for an outcome, then adjust the starting point.
That way they will always be right. Even when using their own talking points that falter in their own thought processes. It's what circular arguments are.
You can't argue faith and then say that it's fact.
Man, this hit my heart! We talk about Fathers being absent for many reasons, but the discussion of this particular type of fear is rare. This man sacrificed a relationship with his children to make sure he didn't become what happened to him. He's carrying a lot & my soul weeps for him.
Oh wow. I never thought about this as a way of understanding absent fathers. This is food for thought.

1 year later and I hope this dude is living, not just existing. Super glad he got that hug at the end...
He pulled himself away from his kids because he didn't even trust himself to be around them.
The fear and pain in his eyes when he says "when your kids, neices, nephews, whatever says there's a boogeyman in my room. Go check... Because it might not be the boogeyman but there's something in that room." Really stood out to me. All he wanted was to be protected...

Despite his pain, and what may be deemed as “socially awkward,” Tyrone is highly intuitive, intelligent and compassionate. He has a big heart, and a mind of a warrior… due to his ability to keep moving forward. His strength makes many complaints people have as something to be appreciative. Since life as Tyrone knows/knew, is deep, profound and sentimental. In how each person deserves their dignity

When he said “if a child says there is a boogeyman in their room please go check” broke my heart…So many parents don’t ever believe their kids are being touched, especially if it’s by a family member which makes them believe it’s okay and nobody cared or will ever believe them
Did you go through something like that?
Yes this touched me too. So heartbreaking but so important 💔💯
I would go to prison or to my grave if a boogeyman was ever in my kids room. I promise that. I wish so badly that I could save all of these people as children. My kids will never EVER bear that burden. Never. I will help them put their fish tanks and lizard cages together and take them to gymnastics and basketball practices and go for walks and watch nature all damn day. Watch them play on the trampoline. Put things together with them. My kids will NEVER KNOW these boogeymen. I pray for him.
I had an alcoholic father too. My mother left him and we had an amazing step father, who adopted my sister and I. He was an angel. He never touched us. My father told him don’t ever touch my girls. Don’t ever lay a finger on them and he never did. That was the only thing he ever really did for us to protect us. My dad that raised us helped us with homework and he helped us get our first car. He helped us with anything we needed and never laid a finger on us but to tuck us in at night and hug us. My mother was never a very emotionally loving person because of her father and up bringing but my step dad was like our savior and he has played that same role for my sister and my children. His grandchildren. He never has biological children of his own, he fully took on the strong woman my mom was and my sister and I. He is a god send and I don’t know what my life would have been like without him to this day. I remember when my mom was single I was In a playground in a bad neighborhood playing with my friend and a man pulled up in a semi and flashed sex toys at us and told us to go with him. I have no doubt we would have ended up on a milk carton had we went with him. I am so thankful for my upbringing after that.

I’m tired of existing ...
I want to start living
~ Tyrone ~
I think this would be a great saying to put on T shirts/sweatshirts...
But I can only design my ideas in Photoshop....
I never had the capital to invest into a silk screener and start up costs...but if I did I would do this and donate all profits made to Tyrone.
Everyone who been in and out of rehab say that homie. How dude got 2 black eyes though???
Literally everyone at some point in there life.
You: Wow. Amazing.

This is a subject that black people avoid, we are so vocal in fighting against abuse for girls and women but not boys and men. The abuse from his childhood has completely destroyed him. I pray this man finds peace and healing. Because even at 54 he still deserves that
I agree💔
yes yes yes say it louder for the people in the back
Blissfulblu~ Your comment is absolutely correct but in addition I would like to say: This is a subject that’s Avoided by People of Every Race. These detrimental acts of inhumane abuse some children endure doesn’t discriminate, they effect all walks of life.
Amen 🙏😢

"I'M TIRED OF EXISTING...I WANNA START LIVING!" ...DAMN BRUH, THOSE WORDS CUT ME DEEP!
Right, same here.
😃😀😄😆😅😂🤣
We all need to examine that question in relation to our own lives.
Got me when he said "but 8 don't know how to live"
Me too cut REAL deep
Sitting here, 9.15 pm sunday night in New Zealand, - 16 september. - Hearing this man's pain. Exact words i have spoken to myself, " Existing, but not living". - " Bro, i feel your pain in my soul, " I don't have anything, to help, money etc, - but just know, - that i know. - and crying for both of us. much love, from other side of the world, ( small country - near australia ) xxxxx
Sending you a hug and hopefully some light. The mitten state! 🇺🇸🕯😢
My heart breaks for his pain. He is soooo strong for being so transparent.
Soo transparent, gripped me differently 😥
Very strong and brave. He’s coping the best he can and helping so many. God bless him.
MY GOD!!!!!😥😔🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️
Me n him share the same experience...... The tears!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💞💞💞💞I totally understand where he is n his life!😭😭😭😭😞😞😞🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😞😞😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💞💞💞
Yes he is,bless his heart ❤ Dear Lord bless 🙏
“They thought I was just scared to go in the dark, be in my room by myself, but they didn’t realise I wasn’t by myself” Might be the most powerful and heartbreaking thing I ever heard, I doubt I’ll ever forget this interview and the bravery of this man
I couldn’t agree more with you, I felt so emotional listening to him and I’m still crying ❤️
It took alot of courage to make his story known. This was the beginning of his healing process.
Wym you are never alone?
The part where I lost it was at the end, when he said that if a kid says there's a boogieman, CHECK, because there just might be.
These are exploitive. ... It's wrong to profit off others pain... The lil bit of cash he give them not enough to change their lives. People exposing their souls like this deserve real comfort and help not to be used for views. Feel like this is more harmful than helpful.
The way he ended by saying he meant no disrespect just broke my heart even more. As if him telling his story might somehow be offensive or a burden to anyone. I’m so glad Mark walked up and hugged him after that. And I hope he continues to find safe spaces where he can process all he’s been through without thinking he needs to apologize for it.
Everyone needs to see this so that we can remind ourselves of our humanity . It’s easy to become calloused to the world around us. But their are times when we must someone who is more hurt than ourselves . Something as simple as saying hello or just listening to someone can mean the world to that individual . Everyone is allowed their dignity , it’s an easy thing to give.
Mark, is there any chance you can tell us how he’s doing, will help you were able to get him, and God willing at some point I’ll follow up that shows him on a path to healing.
Poinient. Genuine. Beauty in this human emoting.
Yeah...its good to see the human side off Mark!🥰
This is really horrible to hear. I worked with children in state custody for over 20 years so I’ve heard a million of these stories but it still kills me to hear how people violate children. I just can’t understand how someone could violate that innocence. All I can say is God bless him.❤
After 19 years of being online, this is the saddest internet video I've ever seen. That poor human being. Love to him.
There are powers of darkness in this world that have done everything possible to create chaos and bedlam especially abuse of children as a means to damage society in order to gain power and control over it. There's nothing that damages entire populations more than rampant sex abuse of minors. Praying for America's and the worlds children.
I am in tears. I can relate to his story. I was about the same age as Tyrone when my abuse started. It lasted from age 5ish or 6 to about 12. My mom allowed it just to keep a man...for YEARS so...basically my mom pimped me out to her husband so that her bills could be paid and me and my younger brother could eat. I told my mom when i was first raped at about 5ish or 6 and she beat me so bad that I couldn't even cry anymore. I'll NEVER forget it. I never received counseling until I was an adult. I used an entire box of tissue my first day of therapy. I could no longer just exist as I was....pressure started to burst pipes and the superwoman I thought I was came crashing down. I had to literally reconstruct myself. Bless his heart...and I pray that Tyrone does seek counseling so that he can "live" within.
I can't relate to what you went through but I hope you are in a much safer and healthier place now. It's horrible, I have no common ground to even begin to understand how awful it is, but I hope you have been able to receive support to heal ❤️
@@capSAR thank you so much. Yes I am in a MUCH better place than I had been. I can say that even though therapy was uncomfortable to start it helped me rebuild "ME" both mentally and spiritually, and I learned to not let my past dictate my future. It feels good. God is dope!
God bless
@@harlowgreen6916 God bless you as well
I'm sorry that happened to you. I pray for you and I apologize for your mom who was most likely broken n took it out on you. You deserved to be protected and was sacrificed instead. I bind my faith with yours for your healing n deliverance. ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I will never forget this beautiful soul's face. He's still that young boy trapped in his bedroom, stuck in a 54 year olds body. I hope he is able to get help from someone seeing this video and find peace, joy and love in his life. What courage he had to tell his story...My heart is aching out of my chest right now. Much love to this man...much love.
I really hope this helps him
He's taken a healthy step forward by telling his story. He doesn't need to carry the burden alone anymore. Best of luck to you Tyrone.
“They thought I was just scared of the boogeyman and to be by myself on the dark... they didn’t know I wasn’t by myself” listen to your kids 🥺💔
this. this is what got me in tears 😭
They aren’t believing my granddaughter….
God, that shit broke me!!! This was a heartbreaking story. 💔
I see a lost child inside this grown man. Prayers for him to get some acceptance and some peace and closure. He’s a sweet soul.
He looks grown to me, nothing about him is childlike. He was hurt as a kid but that’s it
Do you not have empathy for this poor man? Or do you always come across as cold and hardened?
Empathy but not trust how about you trust him to babysit your kids
He such a sweet soul
I don't think I've ever seen such a painful interview with another human being as this. The amount of trauma this man is just carrying around inside of him is staggering. You can feel it in every sentence of his story.
Damn straight. The guy deserves a medal. His father, on the other hand, deserved an ass-kicking. His number one job was not his job but protecting his boy from a paedophilic scumbag
Yeah this sh!t hurt me watching. I ended up sending this video to my mama with a nice little lengthy message attached to it. I won’t go into details but I let her know to NEVER let my child go around that sick, creepy a.ss “family” of hers EVER again in life. EVER!
Yes, he broke my heart
So many of the interviews are like that. 😔
Ex transgender that just dropped is almost unbelievable. These are unbelievable almost. Speechless
i just want to hug him so badly. this man deserves all the love and patience in this world
Tyrone if you ever see this: you’re an incredible human who deserves love, healing, and protection. Thank you for telling your story, may you be released from your suffering. So many people you’ve never met love you
Exactly! You are Loved and Beloved Tyrone!!
AMEN!!
This broke my heart! Can’t tell me that his parents or other adults in the family didn’t know that he was molested by that man. They just let it happen. They were the worst stewards for a child.
Yes, I agree
I agree as well.
As bad as the monster that did it.
Yup they must’ve , it ruined this guys life ...as he says he just exists i hope now he has addressed his demons he can get the help and support he urgently needs.
I think they sold him out to dude... I'm reaching... But I think perhaps...
This is why it is SO important to talk to your kids, ask questions, more than once.
This poor man. 💔
Jesus. I've been binging this channel with the comfort of objectivity from the other side of the world, but this one hit me like an express train. I don't think I've ever wanted to give another man (same age as me) a hug so much. I really hope he gets to read all the love in these comments and know that so many people are rooting for him to stop just existing and start actually living. I hope he can find a way to leverage that determination and start moving forwards. Big love to this man, big love.
The fact that he doesn’t see his kids because he’s afraid of what he might think is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard... I pray for him and his mental health.
Unconsciously rocking to console himself, telling his story from his young perspective with “Daddy” “Momma.” Heartbreaking. Those memories are still very vivid for him. Bless his heart. 🙏🏼
Another childhood violated. "He sat at the table." And "they let him in." When the adults that are supposed to protect you don't, the world Itself makes no sense. Ever in life.
So true!
The world and people never make sense ever again. So well said!
Its getting to be ..END OF DAYS...
Protecting your kids and raising them up is literally your job as a parent. If they have failed that, they failed; doesn't matter the circumstance imo
@@tattyk665 sounds like you dont understand intricate human relationships,
I absolutely love this channel. It makes me realize that listening to others is the greatest thing you can do. This applies everyone but especially for men, having someone there who cares enough to just listen to you, is priceless. I hate that as a man, talking about my problems makes me feel weak. This is the perfect example of someone who just wants to be heard.
He’s not weak for breaking down. He’s human.
It’s beautiful.
This is the first grown man who has made me cry in my entire life. The amount of pain inside him makes me question how much a human can endure. Through all that he has been through and the wrongs that's been done to him you can still see that sweet little boy looking up for a hug. Brother if you ever read this, know you got love from me and try to understand that if you got through that then everything else in this life is a cake walk comparatively. You ain't never gone have to go back in that room buddy. Your safe now.
Lord bless this man heart an soul
Man 😔
The sad thing is he never left that room I hope one day he will
Thank you for this. 🤙✌️🖖
As a trauma survivor, the whole “everything else is a cake walk” is a real double-edged sword. I echo your sentiments wishing him peace.
If your kids say there's something in their room, please go check. A tear dropped from my eye after that.
“They didn’t realize that I wasn’t by myself.” Instantly made me tear up. Listen to your babies man. They need you. They don’t speak for nothing. 🥺🥺
That statement alone sent chills down my spine and I was instantly choked up
I’m speechless by it all
@@magicallyme96 Oklahoma Oooooooo
His story, the way he tells it... chills to my bones. I truly, truly hope
he finds the way to start living and then finds a way to reconnect with his kids. Cause god knows, he deserves it.
We come out of our childhood as"damaged goods", with "issues". For our entire lifetime we pay a heavy debt we never owed - day in and day out. My heart is right there with you, Tyrone. I'm 71 years old. For me it's almost over, thank God.
God be with you
I hope your final years are full of happiness! x
You have to just accept that you are fucked up and be better
Best comment on this channel ever. So true.
I love you. I understand you. I don’t know if there is anything else that could possibly be said and mean anything. I’m so sorry.
The fact that he loves his children so much he has separated himself from them to protect them from himself hurting them. But it also hurts him that he cant be the father he needs to be to them. I hope his children will understand this segment and why he made his choices and the mothers of his children too!
Yes. For him to have been through so much and have that type of emotional intelligence speaks volumes of his character!!!!
To have gone thru all he did and to not ever wanna hurt anyone the way he was hurt is real love, real unconditional love.
Tears running downing my face 😥
Hurt people hurt people and he broke the cycle! His kids will grow up differently now but I hope they understand when they get older. I was existing before I finally became a mom last year at 35. I just want to hug this man and never let him go. He's still a scared little kid and it breaks my heart! Him and his kids are in my prayers❤
I have never heard anyone talk about sexual abuse as clearly as this man here. His message got through to me. This man told his story so well that no other words could be said afterwards.
@kevin p are you okay? Majority of your comments are negative on this channel. Do better my guy.
@kevin p you’re still maturing so we’ll let your comment slide.
@kevin p your gay
Definitely intelligent person
Thank you Mark for providing a space safe enough for people like Tyrone to be able to speak their truth. Tyrone - I want to give you the BIGGEST HUG EVER!!! I'm so happy you felt you could tell this story, you should be so proud of yourself for having this courage
This dude imagine if he grew up different the empathy he has for others after all hes been through... hes a good soul
Facts
The fact that this man had the STRENGTH to admit his pain, and still have manners and respect for others, is inspiring and heartbreaking. Like so many of you wonderful people wrote here: NEVER JUDGE, because you don’t. know. what. they’ve. been. through.
When Mark hugs you? Yeah, you had a hell of a story for sure. I never cry watching these but I'm really emotional right now. Saddest story I've heard, sending love to you bro.
For sure on this one. Broke my heart listening to him.
I just started crying and praying! So so sad!
I agree. Punch in the gut.
I was saying the same thing this was a terrible story.
You never know what someone is going thru.. it took a lot of courage for him to tel this story. & took him years to get those emotions out..I feel for this man fr
Takes a helluva man to express these kinds of emotions and memories, especially on camera. Much love to you Tyrone, I hope you find peace in this crazy, crazy world.
Or it just takes a man. There just arent any. Try being one.
@@user-2Hteyasizyc u mad weird bro
@@user-2Hteyasizyc it's like you are trying to project yourself onto others. It's because of ppl like you, why ppl like this can't get over their past. Society has made it taboo to speak about. Mainly because ppl who commit these atrocities are the ones who make it that way.

"...they had their own thing going on and it wasn't me." Tyrone talking about his dad and uncle living their lives and leaving him to get abused. Absolutely heartbreaking.
I almost clicked away at 4 min. I thought to myself how weak am I? I can't listen to this man's story and he lived it? Tyrone if you see this comment know that you are strong to keep moving forward. Your father would be proud I am going to speculate. You have moved me to tears and saved children with your video. Every parent should see this.
Same! I clicked away because I couldn't take it only to come back today and finish it. Broke my heart but I'm glad I stayed to watch. It's important to hear stories like these! I have a male cousin who I've seen grow up. I never knew what was going on at his place and he didn't tell me till he was in his late teens. By then the damage had already been done. His step father molested him and his mom didn't believe him (took her husband's side). He went from being the sweetest kid to developing serious anger issues which now landed him in jail. It's so heartbreaking seeing him go from an innocent vibrant kid to a broken spirit angry at the world. Rightfully so! Betraying a child in this manner robs them of so much! They don't see the trail of destruction they leave behind. They see someone's innocence and pervert it for their own agenda. It sickening!
@@SC-sn3xs a lot of these stories on SWU hit so hard, from pimps to escorts to drug addicts. I listen cuz it gives such a wide perspective on life, especially cuz I’m only 16. It’s hard to listen to but I almost feel like I need to because all he wants is to be heard
👍👍 to you Mr. Paxton
Well said 💯💙💎
@@ywjhyhy you are already wise beyond your years. Keep it up.
I was so relieved to see Mark give him a hug there at the end. Because that’s all I wanted to do was just give this man a hug. That was one of the most heartbreaking few minutes of my life. Prayers that God gives this man peace.
god didn't help him we he needed, why rely on god now. he needs good people
@gxlbiscuit
The teacher is always quiet during the test.
Believe. I too am getting back to my faith but I do believe in our heavenly loving father. Through his only son he has given us access for eternal life! Christianity is a force for good in this world, a force we so desperately need !!
It's disturbing and heart breaking to see how many children had their innocence ripped from them. It only takes one person to speak up and they all failed him. I wish him peace
😡😡😡
We all shut up then we protected abuser's
This man just broke my heart into a million pieces... apologizing for himself and his emotions! Why do people have children if they can't protect / care for them??
Because, like mom says, I kept getting pregnant! Not because she wanted to! Hope this helps you understand. Stay safe and beware the alcoholic single mom! Danger to her children and full of self!
Because anybody can have sex
@@CadiKane, yes. That is precisely the problem!
@@plinda5109 when you think about it , sex is the main problem in the world
Do you know how many happily married people I know that didn’t “plan” on a second or third or even first kid… it’s not always methodical and planned out. So if smart good people mess up… don’t you think these other people do the same thing? The only difference is being ready for it, not so much purposely having the child when suitable for one. I was an accident and had unbelievable parents and family. These people would have failed in life even without a baby.
It’s called sex and semen tends to be more potent than others. And Women tend to be more fertile than others… plain and simple.
I am so glad Mark just let him vent, I was so invested in his story.. He is self aware, so open, and honest with himself. I really hope he gets the help that he needs, I can tell that this man has a heart full of gold. He deserves peace and healing. Looking forward to an update on Tyrone in the near future
I’m speechless…thank you Mark for providing this man with a safe place to get this off his chest😢, I’m heartbroken. Please update us on Tyrone if you haven’t..🥺
Absolutely broke my heart to see the broken inner child of a grown man come out through his tears. He has a beautiful soul regardless of everything that has happened to him and i hope he heals from everything that ever happen to him. Where ever you are brother god bless you, and when a child tells me the boogyman is in their room i will always check.
You are so right, this interview was with the child not the man. Such a courageous thing to do especially for a man.
Mark is the perfect listener, providing the space and trust for this person to be heard, the chance to tell someone finally.
God bless this soul and heal his heart mind and soul ! Heart wrenching and soul bending.
He looked like a child when he said “please go check that room if your kid says the boogeyman is in there” and it broke my heart. All he wanted was someone to care. I don’t think I’ve seen someone with this much pain before. I want to give him a hug so badly.
Mark ...I admire that you didn't overwhelm him with questions... you let him pour out... that was needed, he has released...and I know exactly how he feels , my cousin was the boogeyman and he got in the bed with me, my mother worked nights...yes the boogeyman is REAL...watch your children and pay attention to them ...listennnnnn❤
Amen...you speak truth
Ive always protected my daughter from anyone like my past stepdad. I will watch my granddaughters too until my last breath! My mom also worked night shift and was never home. She drank when she was off. I was scared to say anything to prevent more chaos in the house. God Bless anyone going through this!
My Dad used to send me to Egypt to stay in my
Holidays with my family there. Each time my cousin used to abuse me. My Dad never did anything and my mom either. They did not know. And what you don’t know does not heat you up. But i knew, and still know how painful it was.
@@Lion_Hamza I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve any of that.
I am truly sorry you had to live through that.
I'm a therapist. Watching this is heartbreaking. NO ONE SAVED HIM! He's been going through trauma for 50 years. I'm proud of him for letting his guard down and speaking on this secret he's held for decades. For him taking about it now, he understands he wasn't his fault.
Just another day in the ghetto.
60% underclass,richest culture in history.
You carry it long enough it either kills you or it bleeds out of you. Every time you have a conversation it pours out of you because nobody's listened to you yet, so you may as well tell everyone on the off chance someone, anyone listens.
Oh my heart breaks for Tyrone. I wish I could give him a big hug. 😔
@@jeremytee2919 more white lies and false facts from an inhuman racist.

Tyrone: "I always wanted to be like my dad, he was STRONG!"
little does he know how much stronger he actually is than his dad, few men are as strong as you Tyrone
You probably won't read this Tyrone , but Montana is right. Your tough as nails, real men ain't afraid to lay it all out.
@Montana is absolutely right 🤞🏾✨
His dad was an alcoholic that left him, he was weak.
It’s his parents fault and no one else’s
How real
@@freedomisbrightestindungeons 😂 Yeah, it’s totally not Tyrone’s fault. Personal accountability is totally lost on you liberal nutjobs. That’s why most of you are immoral losers.
This was one of the hardest SWU videos to watch. A grown adult still haunted by a bogeyman. 💔💔💔 This child deserved so much better.
You can feel his pain through the screen. That was as real as it gets.
I love you Tyrone. You seem like someone I could sit and listen to all day, and learn so much from… I pray you find healing.
