The son needs therapy. He’s traumatized and seems to have a lot of anxiety around abandonment from his parents. His feelings are valid and understandable. However this is likely C-PTSD. It can’t be resolved over the timeframe of a talk show. He wants his father to “ unbreak his heart “. That’s not going to happen. He needs to heal himself with therapy. EMDR might be extremely helpful for him.

[@Meemooooi]

Exactly. You can see him get triggered at the end.

[@marathonbleu]

The father is going around telling ppl about his sons HIV status… THATS THE REAL ISSUE THAT THEY BLEEPED OUT. the dad even told the entire audience without a single apology. The son needs to walk away.

[@leondasmith7185]

We are all someone child so if that's the case everyone is a child but these are excuses that man is disrespectful his dad kept telling him no son let not put your business out there u can't get insurance and what did that grown child do tell the world he a hypocrite that cheats on his wife so his dad told the world why he can't get the insurance under his name his dad sat there quietly but his child is mad at the world sometimes that's not the person fault that's getting disrespected just like when women get with men that abuse them it's not they fault they get beat on because the abuser say it is that's a person that wants 2 blame anyone 4 pain as a parent u shouldn't have 2 walk away in your house when a 34 year old child disrespecting him I honestly feel like it's the son out of 11 kids he the only one with the problem that man don't care about him being gay it's the best way he acting while he is gay and the choices we don't know what his son has done but what I seen was a father that just sat there and just listen and the sun still was mad

They skipped something! We missed what happened!

I think he just went for the paternity test, not necessarily to mend the relationship. The son thinks that the father treats him different from his siblings due to the lack of a biological relationship. But as we can see, that's not the case.

I don’t know about the “controlling himself” part because the Dad stopped to him so’s level and allegedly blurted out that his son had HIV.

[@jjdynomite6526]

Yea dad just staying quiet so his other side doesn’t show on TV. You can tell they edited a clip out. If his dad mentioned his son’s HIV status, dad has an issue with his son’s sexuality. If he treats him differently from his other kids and dna test proves that’s his son, it don’t get no clearer than that.

Seems like Dad had no choice but to mention the HIV status as the son kept bringing up the insurance policy Dad wouldn't put in his name. Dad said you don't want your business put out here but you know the policy cannot be in your name you have to have insurance under me I probably for that very reason but he was not trying to blurt it out until the son kept running his mouth and he had no choice. Son needs to get off his pity party realize his dad did the best he could and try and build forward from here. The Son kept interrupting everything the dad and Karamo said, he wouldn't let anyone else talk. Very disrespectful.

[@tincredible]

I agree with all you typed except about the son being spoiled. I don't see having two absent parents and having to be a stand-in parents for younger siblings as being spoiled. That's quite the opposite. I think of spoiled people as folks who've been pampered and who've always had things handed to them. It sounds like he had a childhood that grew him up too fast, and he's still bitter about it.

[@galaxygalore1111]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this. Now I know this a short show and we don’t get to see the full break down of dynamic between Father/Son; but I some what feel the son is being manipulative towards the Dad and using the fact that the Father was away during childhood as a means to “get his way” and to ensure the Father has him added into his will/insurance policy. Trying to make the Dad feel guilty and shameful is manipulation and make him feel he owes you the world even tho you have to share him with other siblings. I know the Dad made poor choices as a teen having these kids at a young age but it doesn’t make him a bad person. Also Karamo stated as a Dad he should walk away when the Son is ready to go there with arguments when in reality the Son need to walk away and seek supportive help at age 34. The Son couldn’t anwser straight forward questions bc he is use to shutting down and crying so everyone feel sorry for him so he gets his way! The Father see the act the son puts on and doesn’t fold to his demands😂Lol. Either way I wish both well and hope it’s healing in the future for them

When we traveled, we never stayed more than 24 hours. Horace was a good guy and still is. He loved his children. Like I told one of the others in the comments he was hustling, doing the best he could without too many male figures in his life. …And not only was he an amazing dancer, but also a great singer.

If a person says they love you and you don't receive it, that is not on them. The dad is a hot head. But the son kept pressing the button and he popped off. Now you want to cry. It doesn't work like that.

I think there is more going on with this kid than his father not being there. I see a father willing to try and all he kept saying was I'm done, I'm blocking him, he doesn't love me blah blah, and all that emotion may be coming from a deeper place. I would recommend he start by getting his hormone levels checked and screened for depression. I respectfully disagree that his father needs to walk away during arguments because if he does, his son will still have problem with that and process it as him not listening to him or acknowledging his feelings

[@tangeladillard8628]

Karamo you’re my baby because I see so much I’d love and breakthrough that you have helped ppl overcome no matter how they feel. You have strengthened so many and help so much even in your mishaps

[@realmnthrwknives]

The son always needs to get a word in. Talking over his father, talking over Karamo, we're only seeing a snippet but what even was the point of coming on the show for help? I don't know what the father said since it was bleeped and it probably was nasty so i in no way condone that. But the son isn't even trying to hear him out. I think they can get better and heal but the son has to give an inch.

The amount of trauma held down. It’s insane ! I hope he heals. He deserves to heal with or without his father. Parents have a huge responsibility. I have nothing to say about his father. Genuinely.

[@kevinscottbailey8335]

And all the comments seem to be buying into what seems to me to be the father's gaslighting.

[@truecannon4922]

The father was a child himself who chose to step up as a father & probably had no father figure as an example being that he was raised by his mother. Parenting doesn’t come with instructions and it’s even harder when there’s no example to follow. So I commend him for at least trying and also willing to right his wrongs. I pray they get past the painful past and can move on in peace with eachother because life is too short and it hurts more once you realize it and it’s already too late 🙏🏾

[@theresamilton6522]

He's not ready to move forward and heal. His pain is his security blanket and if you're not fluffing it with him .... shut down.

[@chicitita10bien23]

I saw the argument that they didn’t show here between dad and son. When it started the dad kept warning the son to stop more than once and the son kept going becoming more agitated and rude. Then dad blurted something out that was really bad. It’s a sad situation. Separation might be the best thing for them right now. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

[@sigurneykirby9473]

I figured it was much more to it. I did hear Karamo say that the Dad embarrassed the son. It is a sad situation.

[@tlbell89]

I see a few comments saying the father outed his health status. Where is that clip? That’s ridiculous Omg

[@quentinmoten8871]

Anyone can have a baby but it takes a real strong man to be a father. And kids resent a parent that's not actively interacting with them as little children. And hold them accountable for not being there in person. Being a father is the emotional interaction between the two of them not just a simple title. The son is saying that you can't tell him what to do because he's now an adult and their was never a bond built as a toddler on up.

[@iamcecesargent]

When he said I don’t have no more fight in me lord knows I felt this pain because I’ve been at a place in my life where I felt the same way . 😢hurt and tired . Parents being absent from their kids is not acceptable. Even when they grow up and become grown they still carry on that hurt 😢

[@Reach4dSkye]

So I have read the comments and many say that the “father did the best he could” but your best isn’t good enough if the child is saying I have a void. As a parent I demand respect, BUT let’s not forget that parents are not to provoke their children. Ricardo is hurting and although he is in his 30s he is stuck in the pain of that child. The father is saying he stepped up, but if your son is hurting you need to keep stepping up. You don’t stop being a parent because your child makes mistakes, you continue to love them and pray for them and wait for them to make the necessary changes. I pray for both the father and son. No judgement here because no one really knows what is going on, only what you think or what you observed. I pray this young man gets the help and acceptance he needs. I hope he finds the love he seeks and that he will love himself.

[@peacelily7751]

😂😂😂 Why was he making children at sixteen. He was a child himself and didn’t know how to be a father.

[@markydan1232]

Young, dumb, and uneducated. My sister was pregnant at 14. She jumped in bed with another lil boy and the two dummies thought shr couldn't get pregnant if she bathed after. The adults in his life failed him, that's the only way a 16 year old ends up with three kids.

[@sallysson]

The son is immature. He wants validation because his dad didn't play catch with him as a kid. What are the tears for? Miss me with that.

[@kareemcooper3996]

Really really sad cause he just wanted his father to be a good dad and now he's TRYING to find SOLACE AND PEACE IN HIS LIFE WOW I HOPE THINGS GET BETTER FOR THIS YOUNG MAN

[@Valencia6842]

Horace was like my little brother. He was a good dad… as much as he can be as a 16 year old. This young man is disrespectful. At a young age he didn’t want anybody telling him what to do that’s why he was in trouble. I commend his father for not going into the details of his son’s rebellious years.

[@kareemcooper3996]

THERES NO EXCUSE FOR HIM THE FATHER ABOUT HIM BEING A CHILD THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR YOUNG AND DONT LISTEN TO UR PARENTS THAT CHILD HORACE DIDNT ASK TO BE HERE HE DIDNT SAY TO HIS PARENTS GO HEAD AND HAVE ME THATS THE CHOICE THAT WAS MADE FROM A MOTHER WHOM IS NOT AROUND AN A FATHER BEING OUT N THE STREETS AT A YOUNG AGE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING AROUND WITH HIS FRIENDS INSTEAD OF IMPREGANATING. Young girl cause he wanted to be a lover PERIOD BE A MAN Take responsibility and accountability for your ACTIONS I PROMISE YOU HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO FORTH COMING AND OUT RIGHT RUDE OR DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS HIS FATHER HE FEELS AND FELT ABANDONMENT PERIOD SO ITS NO EXCUSE FOR THE FATHER CAUSE A MAN IS GONNA BE A MAN BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A CHILD IF YOU Take the time to have a kid then tKe the time to raise a kid and they way his attitude is the father I'm speaking on the child wouldve been more respectful i believe cause i was raised frim my mom and dad an we had NOTHING BUT RESPECT BE WE KNEW BETTER THAN TO DISRESPECT OUR PARENTS

They edited out the part where the Dad tried to expose him. That’s why he had that breakdown and couldn’t stop talking over Karamo. Fortunately Karamo recognized it and redirected.

⁠@@KTQ333actually no, go watch again. The son brought up the life insurance policy issue and said It was the dad who began bringing up his health status to other siblings. Let me be very clear to some obtuse straights in this forum….THAT WAS NOT HIS PLACE. And if he did that, that more than justifies the trust issues the son has and why he brought up hypocrisy (those girls Dad knocked up at 16, what if instead of getting pregnant, they had HIV). There’s homophobic gaslighting seeping through this entire interaction, and many of you just don’t see it because you’ve not had those lived experiences.

I'm surprised so many ppl are taking the dads side. I feel like there's soooooo many layers to the breakdown between them 2. Abandonment, immaturity (dads side), losing grandma, not having mom around, queerness, +more y'all have to realize even tho dad was young he had a responsibility to his kids and by the sons reaction to him you can tell he dropped the ball. Even dads first statement when he came out about the son being in facilities and how he couldn't be there for him that's just 1 of probably tons of times dad could've did more & didn't . I hope they find healing but I feel for the son!

These kids get on my nerves! Smh. As a teenage parent, I worked hard to get thru school, to get get thru college, and also work and teach my son viable lessons. As a 27 yo man, he understands it all. His dad could've been an addict or deadbeat but he wasn't. As a parent, we want to work and support. His grandma stood up, THANK GOD. The son has to know that that's an extension of his dad. I'm not a grandma yet but when the time comes, I'm going to have my sons back wholeheartedly...especially if he's doing his best to parent. It's no manual on being a parent. As long as you show up..and try.
