He thought children and siblings having s3x was normal. He actively avoids children because he’s terrified of hurting them. He cuts himself on his neck to feel pain he feels he deserves. This is one of the most honest, tortured souls I’ve ever experienced.
@YumiJutsu4 ай бұрын
I don’t think he avoids children because he thinks he’ll hurt them. He straight up said that’s not the reason. It’s because he doesn’t want people to even think that about him cuz they know about his case. I’m also thinking children remind him of what happened to him as a child and also what he’s done as a child himself.

And he ended up r.aing me so violently I had just had surgery for endometriosis a month prior and so it was agonizing he was so violent that he actually damaged my reproductive organs because instead of using his privates he forced both of his fists in me as hard and as deep as he could..... I tried to take my life that night by oding on some seizure medication and sleeping pills. I had already been r worded 2 other times by 2 different guys I thought loved me but this all fell on the same year.

@@loz1725 What are you talking about? What are the 2 wrongs? He is genuinely sorry and will forever be known as a child molester, even when HE was also a kid. Is his apology the other wrong?? I'm so tired of fake compassion. You don't care about that girl. She is completely unknown. We saw ONE story...his. We know absolutely zero about the girl. Saying her life was destroyed proves my point. You don't know that. The only life you can actually SEE is destroyed is his. No one said he doesn't deserve punishment, but I'm saying he also deserves forgiveness, because he seems sincere in his apology. How could any of that be a second wrong?! What you said makes no sense is extremely obvious that you are fake and pretending to be a "good person" when you don't even understand what it takes to be that kind of person. What is your goal? For strangers to think, "What a good person, who cares so much about this girl, who goes through comments to find something to criticize and try to compete for "most compassionate," and condemn anyone who has ever done anything wrong despite their apparent regret. THAT person must be absolutely full of goodness and never did anything to hurt anyone ever. THAT person must have no regrets and have no need to apologize because they are so good." Is that what you're looking for? You look foolish, and in your quest to seem better than everyone, you actually look like a judgemental dick who leaves no room for redemption. Forgiveness isn't a "wrong." It's what allows for growth, closure on difficult ordeals, and healthy human connection. If your goal was attention, I hope I indulged you. Savor it.

Psych nurse here, l've worked at the emergency psych unit many times. Most of the patients are off the streets experiencing psychosis. Once we stabalize them and get to know a little bit of their Why they eneded up this way..its truly heart breaking.😢😢MAJORITY suffered from CSA. It angers me so much that people are capable of hurting these little souls. I believe had they never experienced such abuse, they'd be pretty normal people with average problems like most of us...this type of abuse just does something to the soul that is very hard to recover from.🥺🥺🥺l hope David knows he was a victim.

@sarahalderman31264 ай бұрын
Yes, I am also a nurse (ER/ICU/Trauma) and a victim of CSA as well and I agree wholeheartedly. However I do also believe that our children need to be protected from these disturbed people. It does seem that a significant number of boys who experience CSA go on to become predators, whereas women who experience it go on to suffer from BPD and rarely end up as predators. Likely due to some innate differences between men and women. Regardless it is far past time to acknowledge the fact that we should be removing these people from society until we determine that they are not a threat to our children.

As a psych patient, thank you so much for the work you do. I have a few comorbid conditions and I've been hospitalized 3 times. Every time nurses made a huge difference. When a kind, empathetic and professional nurse takes care of us is incredibly healing, we don't feel humiliated or like a burden. Psych nurses inspired me to study in nurse school and hopefully specialize myself in psychiatry. I want to help as I've been helped. In my second hospitalization, I had a mate that was a guy, he was SAed with his little brother by his uncle or dad (I can't recall exactly). They forced him to perform acts to his little brother also, his brother never forgave him, nor he could forgive himself. He has BPD (me too, that made us share a lot of experiences) and other psych conditions, but he was being treated also to recover from the withdrawal from the substances he used. I was there for a big relapse with my MDD. A chill guy, older than me, attractive but you could see how the streets treated him. I cried a lot with him. I hope he's doing well.

Not literally, but I feel like with everything that he had gone through (and was going through by that time), his decisions were definitely influenced. I'm not saying that can be used as an excuse for anything. It's not like you can just say "well he had a bad childhood so it's not his fault". But I think that he was not able to think. It makes me sick to think about all the terrible people out there who feel no remorse for the people they have hurt, but then you see this poor guy that is not able to stop blaming himself. 7:40 in the video see how he's trying to make sure that the girl, wherever she is, doesn't feel like it was her fault? I feel like he's trying to protect her from the way he felt about what they did to him. I hope everything is going well for whoever reads this🧡 remember that you are loved🧡

This guy is so handsome and full of heart. I'm really shocked to find out how much older some of your guests are than they look, especially given how rough they live. You know I used to think about all the things I'd do with my money as far as amassing possessions, maybe traveling. Selfish things. Far from basic survival. I've been binging solely on this channel for over a week and now all I can think about is how in the world can we fix this giant mess. It's not as simple as money. It's not as simple as rehab. Each of these people need different things. They need time and a very patient support system. They need opportunities but they also need forgiveness rather than condemnation because when you have fallen to such a degree it's almost guaranteed you're going to make more mistakes before you get it right. Thanks so much for giving us these interviews, Mark. These have made me change the way I used to judge people.

This was hard to watch, I am a survivor of childhood sa myself and it’s never easy to overcome. Watching David cry in front of the camera as he tells his story, I can feel his pain, it’s soul crushing. May god give him the strength to heal and carry on 🙏🏼

this man, his story about being sexually abused at a young age, his life of being homeless and using drugs to cope, even his looks & stature, remind me so much of my husband. he was lucky enough to get clean off drugs & most addictions for almost a decade except alcohol which ultimately took him from me at 43. He spent years helping drug addicts with his experiences so I feel his life had purpose. good luck David

Sexual abuse messes you up so bad. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It’s something you never fully recover from. It stays with you. You learn to heal but you’re never fully recovered. I pray we all get the help we need❤️

Wow not even 10 seconds in and I'm feeling the tears flooding my eyes.... Interviews like this, really make me want to do something different with my life so I can help people.... I was an addict for over 20 years and was in and out of the penitentiary system.... It took me losing my baby brother to an overdose to snap out of it.... Life is so fragile and precious.... Be kind to the children, because they grow up broken if they didn't have love growing up.

The truth is that anyone with the power to even come close to helping keep kids safe in a bug scale doesn't give a shit. They don't care and more than that, many of those powerful people are doing the abusing and worse. Parents are supposed to protect their kids. Not all parents do, not all parents love their kids.
