[@AU-ru8hk]

Todd reminds me of my deceased father. He was always trying to help everyone. My father's way of helping was giving away money, and all that does is attract the blood suckers into your life. Even as a teenager at the time, I saw the end result of all that "Mr. Nice Guy" crap, and I warned him, but he didn't listen. Between his addiction and the women in his life taking all his money, my father soon lost his job, his house, his car, and was on the street. He was homeless the last 7 years of his life. All those people who sucked him dry, disappeared when the well ran dry, never visited him, but I was there regularly. I didn't like to give him money because it would go towards his addiction, but I would buy him food and clothes. I seen him in the worst conditions, skinny, malnourished, parasitic boils under the skin, intestinal track issues from eating bad food (vomiting), dirty- the smell of his homeless would stay on MY clothes for an hour after I'd hug him goodbye. I can still smell it. I remember visiting him one time and seeing someone had cut him all over his face and neck with a knife. You want to talk about rage... I wanted to destroy the world and everyone in it to get that one person who had hurt him. This was my father. He was supposed to protect me, but I couldn't protect him, not only from all these evil people, but worse, from himself. I tried to help him tho, get him help. He'd always refuse it. As a young man seeking guidance, I tried to have a "normal" father-son relationship with him too, like my friends had with their fathers. I would take him out to eat, but people would stare. They could smell him a mile away. Even when he was cleaned up, they could tell from his gaunt appearance, there was something not normal about him. I even tried to take him to a baseball game one time, do a father-son thing. I cleaned him up, new clothes, a shave. But his sweat was so pungent, he smelled so bad everyone moved out of the section by the middle of the game. By the time my father finally passed away at 54 from lung cancer, he was a shell of the man he once was. When someone you love walks a tragic road like this, commits slow suicide over years, it is burned into your memory and psyche forever. You can't help but be changed by it. At the time, my entire family turned their back on my father, everyone but me. No one would go see him but me. Every time I did, I walked away crying. Now, when I watch stories like this, which remind me of him, all those raw feelings come back to the surface, like he is still suffering. When it comes to my father, I can't cry enough tears, my eyes never run dry. There is a sorrow inside that is without a bottom. He taught me things about people and life, but not in the way you want to learn them. Get help, Todd.

[@maru_nation]

I cried reading this. I was abandoned by my mother as crack took her away. My aunt (dad's older sister) raised me and gave me so much love but i always felt like i wanted to do "family" stuff but never got the chance. My parents were really young when they had me so my dad basically just dropped all responsabilities on my aunt and never paid attention to me. My mom's actually rehabilitated right now but it makes me feel so bad that i actually don't love her nor do i love my dad. I never even been to the movies with them. It's just weird, they're "there" (separated, but both live in my city) but it feels like... nothing.

[@AU-ru8hk]

@@maru_nation - Your Aunt sounds like the angel you needed in your life. I also had an Aunt step into my life during my late teen/early twenties when all this happened with my father. It was my Dad's only sibling, his older sister. I was so broken and distrusting from the bad household I grew up in, I didn't believe people really loved anyone else at all, they only selfishly needed and if you didn't conform, you were thrown away with the garbage. My Aunt and Uncle showed me real, genuine love. I lived under their roof and was protected from the harsh world. The words- I LOVE YOU- would leave my lips so easy when I was with her, not like anyone else in my life before or after. She proved it the hard way, over years. She always had my back, always sought to elevate me, never gas-lighted me, always defended me, and NEVER let me down, never. She was the polar opposite example of my Father, her brother. To me, she is the angel that was in my life, and even to this day, she's been dead years, I still think of her often, remember how she loved me, and her love continues to light my life in my darkest hours. I'm in my mid40s, Maru, and I just want to share one more thing more with you, something I've learned over the years. Life will be ugly, fortune will dash your highest hopes and dreams, people will fail you over and over and over again in this world, but one thing I cling to like an anchor in my life- You cannot let the things that happen to you, the bad fortune, the bad people and their selfishness, the world just being cold and unloving, you can't let that be an excuse to co-opt yourself in your own self-destruction, either thru addictions or self-sabotage. I've built a secret fortress of love inside myself over the years, so all these things that happen outside me, will never break me enough to ruin myself. No matter what life throws at me, people betraying me, turning their backs on me, whatever, that is their selfish actions, but I won't allow that evil to penetrate the love I have for myself. Love yourself, Maru, and love that Aunty of yours. When they're gone, they can't tell you, "I love you too, honey", back.

[@maru_nation]

I've never felt so eager to read a response from a stranger!! You are one hell of a man and i relate so much to your story. I type this as tears run down my face because that is exactly how i see my aunt and exactly the way she was/is with me. I randomly cry at the fact that she's 72 years old and i will probably never have someone like her in my life, but it gives me peace knowing that we loved each other like mother and daughter UNCONDITIONALLY and i will forever be grateful for that. This was a nice exchange of experiences, i wish there were more people like you.

I get the impression that this person is in major denial about where he is at in his life and his addiction. He speaks a lot about being victimized by the people around him but doesn't really take any responsibility for where he is at or who he is probably hurting. Hopefully he can get some help and get off the streets 🙏

[@TenThumbsProductions]

A constant with all these interviews is when they are on a "good one" they just disappear.

[@H0kram]

@Patrick Bateman This must be an absolute hell for the relatives. Not that I consider shame as a solution, especially because it reminds me of how it is to have someone with mental disease ( depression and troubled personnality ) in your life. Feeling helpless in the bad moments, the disappearance etc. Except a drug addict did a choice at some point, not the sick one. Not drawing too much parallels but these videos sometimes remind me of that, and in both cases shame just make it worse I guess.

[@CHNL.s]

ive been there long ago. Its because the high you and the sober you are two different personalties. The high you doesnt care about family. Priorities feel not important. Almost like how you are when really drunk. You dont care about work tomorrow when you are 12 shots deep. Now imagine a drug that affects you way more stronger. You stop caring about life, never mind ur job in the moring for weeks, until you burn out and come to your selses. Then you reilize what u have done and go into depression. If you dont use you will feel depressed for weeks, if you do, you fall deeper. but you know, this isnt me, this is just something I do in secret. just a few times. no one knows one more time of fun isnt going to hurt. Ill go back to normal life after this last time. Ill go back to being the old me after this last hit. Somewhere long the line, the party ends and you go back to life. Or you do it so much you forget you the old you used to even be.

[@elcid8889]

Yep, and then they comeback for another payday!

[@nicolleparker200]

He reminds me of a friend I had. Smart, always on the edge of being clean, until one day his heart exploded.

[@millymousekavitch1788]

He said "stuck for 3 weeks", over n over. We natives say..."only dogs get stuck." He enjoys being a victim so his stories give him the appearance of being too nice and not a crackhead. Its cool dude. No one is perfect.

Left my husband of 35+ years last July. Caught him cooking some drug at 3:30 am in our bathroom. Fully functioning human. Fully fooled me. Was shady AF. Now I KNOW. All of the constant lies about even the smallest of things. Love bombing to keep me, but gaslighting consistently denying all of my suspensions. He is in terrible shape. Thinner than ever. And diagnosed with congestive heart failure last February. Now I know why. And on top of it was adamantly denying his Hepatitis B diagnosis while hospitalized for two weeks. The love of my life has chosen drugs, and the lifestyle that goes with it. Sadly. If he is lucky he will turn 63 the end of this month. What a tortured soul he must be. Love and care for 3.5 decades was not enough for him. I am learning to live on my own again at age 57. Thank goodness for our pets. They keep me from depression and worrying so much about him. Out there. Somewhere. Best wishes to those that love an addict. It's brutal. I have no answers for the addicts. But I am sending peace. Healing. Awakening. 🌿🕊💕🌍
