Terry Crews Fought Dad For Beating Mom & Tells Story Of Dad Rejecting Kiss On Cheek At 5-Years-Old

Terry Crews explains fighting his dad for beating his mom and tells the story of his dad rejecting his kiss on the cheek at 5-years-old:
“I remember kissing him on the cheek and I was just waiting for this, ‘I love you son.’ … I said ‘I’ll never do that again.’ And it kind of became where I knew that’s where we were going to be.”

Men of past generations are built different. My father in his own way apologized to me for not being more affectionate. He told me he was envious of his friends that had close relationship with their sons and choked up in front of me. When this happened I was in my 30's. I hugged him, told him we were good and that I was grateful for all the sacrifices he made for us. I told him there was no need to be sorry. It helped that I was already a father at the time and understood the sacrifices a man has to make for his family. We have a good relationship and we are pretty close now. Sucks Terry never truly got that relationship.

Man I can relate me abc my dad relationship starting to get close when I turned 28 now I’m 32 and he’s my best friend I get to hug him now before I couldn’t do that as a child nor in my teenage years. He was a tough MF. His parents gave him up when his was young so he never really had love!

THE (OFTENTIMES, HIDDEN) BACKSTORY OF A CYCLEBREAKER!!!

[@denysejones4716]

5 years old is a very important age. I will never forget my first day of kindergarten. I looked around and the kids were all over the place, COMPLETELY out of control. In that moment I made the decision that I wasn’t gonna have kids. Everyone said I was gonna change my mind. 40 years later and I STILL feel the same way I felt at 5 years old.

[@mbyrd6713]

We dealt with our grandfather being an abusing alcoholic. He’s still alive and my grandmother was the one who had cancer and passed away. I wondered why he lived and she died but I found peace in knowing that she’s no longer suffering.

[@soniavalera8386]

[@indiawashington-charles9739]

I'm so sorry . The one who does the must evil mostly has that outcome. The same happened to my beautiful grandmama😥🙏🏿. I'm still praying to God remove the hate I have for Grandpa

[@Bumbumbudahbumbumbumbum]

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I've been grappling with losing my grandfather and aunt to cancer for some time now. You're absolutely right in that there's peace in knowing they don't suffer anymore. Sometimes it's the only solace I can find when I'm missing them the most. I'm sure your grandmother knew how much compassion you felt for them. I know it helps me to think about that in my situation. I hope it helps you as well

[@adrianwillis66]

Many mothers were like this too. Not saying I love you. But it teaches that love is not just a word but an ACTION.

[@MrCHICOBABY23]

My Loving Great Aunt was like that. She wasn't a I Love you baby. She was that I never gave you a reason to say it. She was all Action in her Loving!!

From what my mon told me im. 70 years old now and i'll never forget this as.long as i live i forgave him but i will never forget so much love to. Fathers that show affetion to their children.

[@TeagenJegels]

Man Terry aged well, bro looks in his early thirties 😂

[@winluvwinluv3734]

His father is jealous of him, and always has been. I wrote this before Terry said his dad was jealous. It's okay to let parents be if they are not good in your life my husband's dad, and he didn't have the best relationship. Sometimes you have to distance yourself to save yourself. I have heard my husband say some of the things Terry has said about his dad.

[@zest4life7777]

I have this same relationship but with my mom.

[@heartdonations2532]

For all of us...we are bigger than where we come from!

[@siyabongakunene5052]

I kinda went through a bit of the same things with my father but the big difference is, I knew he loved us. He reciprocated love. His love for his family made up for all his shortcomings. We still miss him dearly. I hope TC and his father can make up and spend what is left of his life together as father and son. P.S. what Shannon said about kids not putting him in a certain position. That goes for parents too. Don't put your kids in a situation where they have to see you as something other than their parent. Respect goes both ways. That's what I always tell my wife. Even when you're disappointed with the kids and have to punish them, do it with dignity. Don't cuss em out. Explain what they did and why it is wrong and then give their punishment if you have to.

[@twilderlm2559]

This is by far the best interview , ever man needs to see this one

[@drsssssssss]

Thing is, many of us who experienced that kind of father, become fathers and do our best to make up for it, telling our children we love them all the time. It helps fill the holes we have in our own hearts.

[@shaun04]

Why isnt this interiew is as big as the katt williams or monique's interviews

[@AmeerBeats]

Because they were talking about drama and not personal growth. Unfortunately most ppl only care about drama

[@sargaa8471]

@@AmeerBeats it was not just drama buddy it was more than that, it's culture history, from what I saw he was here in the industry before terry

[@jasonwages9784]

When a father does not conduct himself as a MAN, he can’t expect his children to respect him the same. That woman may not always be the father’s wife, but she will always be the son’s mother. No excuse for hitting a woman.

[@ChuckTay23]

My woman’s father was never in her life and mine was but we had no connection or relationship whatsoever and I always told my lady I don’t know which is worse her not present father or mine that I see everyday but don’t know at all. I experienced something similar to Terry’s experience, after that rejection I shut down completely. Never tried again, he’s up there in age now and it’s a shame all the wasted time.

[@thomasharris5151]

Terry’s “father” is jealous of his son’s success and wishes it was him instead of his son… that’s sad! Parents are supposed to uplift their children & give them hope. Some people are EVIL and even if it’s your parent you should abandoned them… bad people are bad people.

[@seensay2132]

It goes deeper than jealousy.

Its crazy how the people who have not been through this always thins like - oh yeah try to fix things, you never know when they’ll be gone” - its literally ALLLLL we ever try to do! Children of addicts are always trying to save the relationship…BUT ADDICTS are the WOOORRRST!!!

[@MalBeats]

But you don't have to find a way Terry you can cut him loose and keep being a great dad to your own kids. It sucks not having a relationship with your dad but some people are so toxic and so far gone you can't do anything to help them

[@rahjeel]

The only good thing that came from my father being an absolute piece of garbage with almost zero emotional intelligence is that I learned exactly what I should never be. I love my little girl so much I cannot imagine denying her kissing me in the cheek and being affectionate. I have done my best to make her feel loved always, the one thing I fear in this world is I haven't done enough for her. That is a terrible thing to experience for Terry because I can relate 100%, even to the point that I actually beat my dad for being an abusive jackass.

I have. I like sports themselves, I played a bit, it's fun. Team sports I sometimes have trouble focusing (daydreaming in outfield) But I hate watching sports on TV, I hate what major sports turned into. A lot of the reason I hate watching is bc my dad and brother SCREAM, not out of excitement. And bc it seemed like there was a game on every day and we never did what I wanted

Mine looked like terry does now, but with a moustache, sniper, bodyguard, bouncer, welder, the man who at 5yo told teacher when asked, he wanted to be a lumberjack. Absent from day 1, yet this man would get soooo mad when i Didn't kiss his cheeck when greeting. Culture, Love, but life's choices made, the situations what they were. Though i Could have an opinion on how things went, no matter how tough this man was, he didn't force His views of being a man onto the world. For sure he did/still does think a man should be a man. I'm glad let me become my own man. Instead of expecting a copy of himself. "When a child is born. Show it the ways of The World, not Your World." Ladies, Gents, if you had parents, give them a kiss on their cheeck.

He wasn't bad to me or anything ( he's been too good to me) but I don't know why he loves me when I've just been a problem to him. I get afraid to see him sometimes because I think the day will come when he rejects me and what will I be then? At the same time I am scared to lose him because who cares for me unconditionally like him? Sometimes he calls me and I'm afraid to pick up and I don't know why. Think I'm going nuts sometimes.
