17 Years Without My Mother & Father | KARAMO

[@NoImBrandywine]

Mama is weird .. The son is numb. Prayers to him and the Aunt.

[@quintaseagle4660]

Something isn't right with that mom. She's detached

[@elnoawilson101]

Deep.

[@dawnlee866]

Exactly 🙏🏾

[@LaCreshiaify]

The son isn't young. He's still learning to process his emotions

[@rennaeh6682]

@@LaCreshiaifynumb is what was written, not young. You can become numb at any early age.

[@_justCee]

I love how the aunt went to the back to support and be there for him while Karamo was speaking, it’s clear she loves him like he’s her own.

[@sharoncooper9615]

I thought the aunt was going to cry because she so attached to the young man .

[@hannahroyster]

I love how the aunt did that too but the mom just sitting out there and not getting her ass up and seeing her own SON in the break room speaks VOLUMES on how little she cares about her own son, that shit was just crazy to me, just comes to show you that his aunt is more of a mother figure than his OWN mom is🙄

[@krystalbobbett5175]

Yes, Tyrill praised his aunt and mom got nothing. 😂

[@torry24]

Don’t be mad at somebody else, be mad at urself! I’m sure it took everything in the aunt not to cuss her big nasty a** out!

[@LONDONESQUE.]

Yes.. she tried to put the aunts environment and her boyfriend down.. just full of it. Thank goodness for the aunt❤️

[@hannahroyster]

EXACTLY and the fact that the AUNT was the one that went to the break room to go see him instead of the MOM bc the mom just couldn’t be bothered to get tf up out of her chair to go see her own son speaks VOLUMES on how much she cares about her own son, mom could give af less about her own flesh and blood son and that shit is crazy to me

[@cindyking1778]

Exactly right

[@peacefreedom4930]

It’s crazy that the biological mom is so disrespectful to her sister but makes sure to maintain relationships with every man from her past. It’s no easy thing to pour into a child. It requires sacrifices. She should be thankful her sister is willing to be selfless and raise her son. What’s wrong with her?

[@hannahroyster]

The mother doesn’t care she’s selfish and only cares about herself instead of her own son and everyone else around her, she didn’t even MAKE an effort to go into the back room to even see her own SON and that just speaks volumes to me, what a piece of shit mother she is seriously

[@kiera6288]

this is the comment I was looking for. Why is t with every guy the mom had just talked to him but couldn't be there for her son?

[@alwaysaccurate8725]

This is what happen when people have sex for validation and attention not to be a parent.

[@michaelrones8161]

Where’s his father?

[@ramonahamm6292]

Poor kid .. his mom is not mature enough to be what he needs. Thank goodness for his aunt ! I pray for her strength!

Crazy how the aunt, the boyfriend, and the man they thought was the dad were all more supportive and kind than the bio mother

[@danielvidal46]

This!!!!! 💯 Underrated comment!

[@AmaiaThompson2002]

This mom is infuriating. She says that Steve isn't a role model but she wasn't one herself. Props to the auntie!

[@Sharrial55]

I think you mean the aunts boyfriend Lamond.

[@dellarosa4204]

I recognize the numbness on that childs face. This boy has felt soo much pain and sadness that he doesnt feel anything now. Mama broke her own child.💔

[@concerned_citizen318x]

im glad karamo checked her, she’s a horrible excuse for a mother. i’m happy this boy has an amazing aunt in his life

[@QueenKila10]

The fact that she said she is a distant mother and thinks it’s jokes to helping her own child to find his father is crazy to me. She needs to be grateful that her sister took her child in and got his head on his shoulders and is helping him navigate through life without being a statistic. I am literally blown away right now.

[@StephysWrld18]

[@5995Jiol]

What a remarkable young man , this is so sad, sitting next to your own mother who feels absolutely nothing for you after hearing such heartbreaking news

[@CcBeautiful94]

Look at her just sitting there like a big lazy blob! She don’t care about her son that’s why other ppl raised him. She laughed about a second possibility her son had no clue about. Gave him a forced fake apology when he was owed that apology FIRST

[@IamCarrieNotBranshaw]

And I hope her son continue to thrive in the world, and I let his mother dictate him. I know someone who’s in the same position. Lucky he’s finishing school soon as is not living with his parents.

[@michaelamitchell1603]

he’s right like you can apologize to a stranger yet your son is not given the appropriate sorry? make it make sense. I see why adult kids grow up & treat their parents how they were treated growing up.

[@lexciib]

The aunt is a natural protector. She even stepped in to protect her sister in the end saying “he loves his mom” and got uneasy. God bless her

It seems like the mother is still stuck in the past her son got taken away from her she didn't fight hard enough too get him back 😢 aalso if she doesn't no who the father of her child is should've discuss that before she came too the show I can tell he was hurt and embarrassed

[@QiuniecaTaylor]

Thanks

[@904baybeecakes]

DCF made the correct decision when they removed him from her custody 🙁

[@Vidgamechx]

I ain't never wanted to fight a mom so much in my LIFE. She is a trash human. I wonder if she is a bit slow, or a recovering addict, but her choice of words baffled me. "He went behind my back and got a DNA" like BIH WHAT?!? He is entitled to that information! Then had the NERVE to smile in his face when the other man came up that he was "supposed to know who he was at the grandma's house". I am GLAD Karamo handled that the way he did. Bless the aunt and the boyfriend for being that baby's protection. WHEW..mi need a glass of whine now😂😂😂 now I got that out, I feel better😭🥲❤️

You can tell he’s a good young man. Very respectful.Blessings to him and his aunt

People just don't understand the things they do affects their kids.She mad with the sister.She is not mentally there to be a mom.Hurt people.Hurt people.Thank God for the Aunt.

[@KKandLex]

Karamo needs to have a seminar session on how to cope with trauma? How to deal with grief. The triggers are trauma absentee parents and traumas from childhood! I hope his biological mother really steps up

[@IamCarrieNotBranshaw]

I don’t think she matured for it and it shows.

[@chantiaclarke8344]

[@zathithalegrand7118]

Second to my favorite Steve wilkos, karamo really loves the kids and protects them. I love him for trying his best to protect the kid

[@kpatterson72570]

Mom’s shame and guilt has created a disconnect from her son. She is afraid to give of herself because she can’t take the rejection she’s bestowed on him. God bless the aunt and the village that have stepped in to protect this young king. Kudos to Karamo

[@ablacksquare]

What a class act!!! Love how you centered the young man’s feelings. I hope that he can be provided with the right match. He deserves so much more.

[@Nm-pk6uh]

The mom has a nasty attitude ! Ugh and then has the nerve to criticize other people with their parenting when she did something abusive to lose custody and never cared to get it since!!

[@justasimplenobody2666]

I think it's good that Karamo acknowledged the bond that young boy had with this man who is essentially his father figure; and asked specifically for him to take him backstage.. I think we often underestimate just how much those kinds of bonds mean to young men, I'm glad even if he didn't get closure today he still has a man who he can learn from and lean on in hard times, exactly like we saw Karamo encouraging today. I just hope the best for him going forward.. 🙏❤

[@brendawelch6477]

Nice of the Aunt for being supportive of her nephew bless her and him 🙏🙏🙏

[@quintonjones2065]

If I was able to speak to him as a big brother, I would want to remind him: You deserve protective, supportive, involved, encouraging, and loving parents. Please do not allow yourself to accept blame for their responsibilities, and promise me that you will not identify yourself by their selfishness. As children we all see our parents as “superheroes” and “perfect.” You are now maturing into the transition of surrendering/grieving the innocent perception of a “perfect mom” into accepting that she is simply another human who should have made better decisions. I pray that you have patience with yourself through this lesson. We can see the strength inside of you, by the you intentionally keep your heart open through all of this confusion you never deserved. The tool that brings the most healing is forgiveness, which is also not a “black or white” state of being, yet, more of a muscle you workout. Each moment you choose forgiveness, the lighter the pain will become. Lean into Jesus when you are feeling overwhelmed. Focus on the gratitude of your Aunt, I am so thankful she has been protecting you, which she volunteered to do (don’t take that lightly). Lastly, lil bro, don’t let all that love you wanted share with your parents go to waste. If you keep that hidden, it will produce resentment and an emotional wall of defense that will deceive you into thinking you are protecting yourself, when in actuality, you are hiding the light inside of you which I hope you will allow the world to see. Keep your head lil bro, safe and genuine love is a bare minimum of what you deserve. I’m keeping you in my prayer man! You got this🙏🏽

[@Gabrielle-Gloria]

You can tell how especially trigger this one was for Karamo - he did a great job maintains as much composure as he could be mediating the situation

[@deidreemcdowell2814]

Karamo was so done with that incubator. She had him, then abandoned him. Then tries to act like he's supposed to have so much love and respect for her. That young man's heart was crushed by her, and she can't even see it. She's too focused on herself. I hope he finds peace, love, and joy throughout his life. Thank God for his auntie who stepped up. smh

[@andrejamal5438]

The pain in this young brother eyes and heart! I’m upset, and shame for the mother behalf! But in the end, young man, this will pass. Don’t allow this to deter you, use this and become a better man!

I haven't seen alot of this show, but many would have the kid up on stage. It shows alot of empathy to talk about his trauma in an area away from the crowd. it literally hurts me how much pain you can hear in his voice Also it says alot about who is actually his mom by who gets up to go to him in his time of need. She didn't argue or make it about spite. He needed her and she went. Thats a mom

[@reatherhollingsworth2097]

Kudos Karamo, I truly love how you handle your shows. The Mother showed clear the lack of parental guidance that she has given over the years. Comments like, "parenting from a distance" and "if you wanted me to go back there" and "I told you it was 2 possibilities." This language and thought concept isn't going to strengthen their bond. All praises to the aunt and her spouse for stepping up. Thanks to the male who was falsely accused for understanding and requesting to be a friend.

[@annetterichard7425]

Enjoyed this episode. Karamo is so wise. Both ladies are beautiful. The mom seems mentally delayed. She is really detached from her son. It's great that the aunt is there for the children. Good luck to all. ❤

[@DivineHardy]

The son deserves better

[@lisaaloune]

My heart goes out to this young man. How sad that bringing a child into this world and take no responsibility. Millions of children are suffering from absence of their fathers. You have no idea what kind of trauma those kids are dealing with emotionally and mentally. Parents’s responsibility not only to protect the children but also to educate them and build their future. It’s unethical, and immoral as a mother to tell your child that you were sleeping around that’s why you don’t know who’s his father is ???

[@TokelBoyd-t4r]

A bond with a dad is stronger than anything in the world and it build a good man into the world and he need his father to show him to be man and respect a good women when get one . A bond with a mother is very precious and it will make the world good place and teach the son how to treat a good women .

This is the most disgusting mother she has no remorse, no compassion, no sympathy for her son at all. She is a liar and a deceiver. She knew that man was not her son‘s father. She has blamed everybody else but herself. I love the he she’s pretty much ignored his mother the whole time.

[@kingdjack6]

I saw worst than her this mother came to do a DNA test for her daughter who now wants nothing to do with her as she tried to claim she told the man who see tried to say is the father he wasn't the father out of anger but she said the same to the daughter out of anger but than she said the daughter looks like the other man the father never sign the birth certificate the mother said he did but she didn't have it the judge bought it in and it showed that she lied and that she had sex with this guy and DNA test show the man tested wasn't the father.

[@damianu4082]

Mother Patricia should be thanking Aunt Aquaysha for protecting, loving, guiding and building up Tyrill to the fine young man that he has come to be. You can tell by her actions and statements, by the young man's declaration of love for her and by her Boyfriend's statements the kind of relationship and environment she has created for this young man. I pray Tyrill gets the closure he deserves and the support he needs.

[@jerrseyy1088]

She reminds me so much of my sister, sadly. Due to deep insecurities and people always taking care of her, she treats her kids as 2nd and 3rd priorities. Men are always first. What she needs or wants is first. She’s not a bad person, but completely oblivious to how everyone else takes care of her biggest responsibilities and she just sits back and complains. All the while living her life on her terms. Same with this mom. Thank God for her sister!
