FIRST TIME REACTING TO HARDY - wait in the truck (feat. Lainey Wilson) THIS IS POWEFUL WOW!!!

[@anthonyferruggia3202]

When a southern man says.."Wait in the Truck"..someone's gettn smoked.

[@ursulaturner7980]

That " HAVE MERCY ON ME LAWD!!!! HITS HARD!!!!!

[@bananamix7847]

I am going to say something to you that I have very very seldom said to anyone since coming home from my last tour in Nam, I would trust you to have my back anytime. You definitely get it. Love and prayers. Hardy wrote this because of a friend that actually went thru this. Note, he does not ask the court for mercy, he is asking the only one that can show mercy, the Lord Almighty.

[@ursulaturner7980]

Exactly!! I feel like so many don't get that.

[@debbiehopewell5544]

I Love your soul so much! When you said I have no respect for any man who puts his hands on a woman, I felt that through my heart❤

[@ritajohnson7437]

This is a true story! His buddy did this and got 20 years!!!

[@mamabear9325]

[@anitafoster4638]

Hardy is a Master song writer and this is based on a TRUE story

[@ursulaturner7980]

God bless you sweetheart ❤

[@mattbrentlinger1078]

Tell me that “thank you” after 5 years wasn’t worth it. Been that guy and appreciation counts.

[@lindalightfoot9837]

Excellent reaction. I could tell that you meant everything you said.

[@GreekLady188]

I felt that too!

As a victim of assault and family violence by my ex husband, this song rips at my heart strings.

I just had a 3rd back surgery recently and my spine was bolted to my pelvis and I have 18 screws…. The repair for years in an abusive relationship…. If only someone would have stepped in like this…. Karma got him though… he’s dead and I’m free….

I agree all this evil hearted crap MUST stop ... Our ancestors did not go thru what they did for us today to be living in the mess we have .. awareness is that start

[@PatiAnn]

Way I see it ... They got 2 tragic proofs .. the girl and the guy who protected her .. cause anyone abused knows if he just beat him up that girl probably would be ... Unalived by the sh#t.head who caused it 😢😢

[@peggyradeck9140]

She’s still in the truck

[@bren6967]

Great reaction! He was an Avenging Angel. Avenging Angels were the first angels created by God. As a teen in the 70s I saw so many abused women and young girls. Where I grew up women belonged to the "man" of the house (Bible Belt USA). However, every once in a while one of those "men" would cross a line and then just take off. The rumors were that they were in hiding under some random septic tank. What do I know? I was just a kid.🤷‍♀

[@tracypearson6315]

Amen Thank You and your up bringing your momma would be proud

SHES STILL WAITING IN THE TRUCK…. AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE WAITING IN THE FIXED UP TRUCK!!! WITH A BOTTLE OF SPARKLING APPLE JUICE!!!😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tammymyers9828]

Great reaction 😊❤

[@SilverbladeDagger]

I love my sister. I'm the oldest, then my brother, then my sister, and we're all very protective of each other. My sister and I are very close, like I am to our dad, and we can finish each other's sentences, think alike, and even say the same things at the same time. My dad owned a couple rental properties, and when one was vacant and had all the copper stole out of it, my dad let me and my sister and niece live there. My sister had to move back to Michigan from Wisconsin first, so I helped her fill up a UHaul and get it back here. There was a brand new charter school around the corner, so my niece had a close by school to go to, and I'd walk her to and from school every day. Thing was, within the first week of living there, my sister picked up a sort of stalker. Every night for about 8 months he stop by, pick her up and take her out. Sometimes she wasn't home when my niece got up for school the next day. He was obsessed with my sister, and she wasn't interested in him that way. I warned her multiple times he was no good, and she never listened. It got so bad that he'd stop by my niece's school to try to pick her up, or to intercept my sister, which was usually when they had a falling out. Still, she didn't kick him to the curb, she always caved to his manipulations. It drove me nuts. I even saw him slide a finger down the side of her pants when she fell asleep on the couch next to him. Also, he'd drive by all the time, and I knew it was him, since he had a distinct car. When he caught on that I was watching, he had people from his work drive by to tell him if her car was in the drive, someone else's car was there, or not. I even caught him parked in the neighbor's driveway staring at our house and waiting for her to come home from a concert she went to with her friends. Super stalker. This is the short story, but eventually, eventually, he got the hint and left her alone. However, he had many run ins with me, and since he was way bigger than me, he thought he could bully me, even telling me to get out of my own damn house! That's a bunch of stories for another time... Next, my sister got a real boyfriend and moved out. He had issues with anger, and my sister tended to be a bit selfish, self-centered, and well... it drove him crazy like she did me. A while went by where they were living together and he blew his top. He knocked her to the floor on multiple occasions, not exactly punching her, just pushing her. When she'd come crying to me, I ask her one question, "Are you willing to pull the trigger, or are you going to resolve this yourself?" It wasn't literally pulling a trigger, but giving permission for me and my brother to step in. She always backed down, but she knew that it would only take 20 minutes for my brother and I to get together, go over there, and make a murder scene so bad that hardened cops would run out puking. She was still living with that guy when she met another guy that lead to the worst stuff she and our whole family endured... My sister was working with the city rescue mission when she met this new guy. The other guy was more of a roommate at this point. There was something off about him. Then I did a background check on him, seeing over a dozen mug shots and associated crimes he was busted for. Within 3 weeks of meeting this guy, she was engaged to be married to him. I pleaded with her to not do it and not to rush. I told her of his past, and she didn't care. So I told her she has to pick him, or pick her family, but not both. She picked him, and I cut myself off from her. I didn't speak to her, I barely acknowledged her at family get togethers like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthdays. It wasn't 2 weeks till this "thing" was drunk and abusive. I was still living in town on my own, while my sister and my family were getting all this crap from this "thing". If he wasn't drunk, he was getting high on narcotics, or other stuff. He'd pawn off his stuff, her stuff, and my dad's stuff to get the money to get alcohol and/or drugs. He'd come up short on rent and other bills, and my dad would help him out. He went to jail, my dad would bail him out. Then the beatings, verbal abuse, and non-sexual abuse of my niece happened. It got messy, and my niece dropped out of school and lived with her dad's parents. Eventually, my sister and her "thing" moved to Florida, and then it got even worse. She had been beaten so many times, and he arrested several times. It was hard to take being across the nation away and not being able to do anything about it. Finally, a cousin of ours was in South Carolina and heard my sister was planning an escape, so she headed to Florida, picked her up, and brought her back to Michigan with my two infant nephews, the clothes on their backs, and little else. So they moved back home and it was an adjustment, because my nephews have special needs. The oldest is autistic, and doesn't speak. The youngest was born with spina bifida, which was corrected with surgery just after he was born, and is also autistic. The not speaking bit is hard, because if we took them somewhere and managed to get away from us, they can't communicate who they are, who their mom is, or any of that. Also, we have to watch for certain triggers that could get either one of them to kinda go berserk. Anyways, it took 2 weeks of living at home for me to attempt to speak for the first time in several years to my sister. I didn't talk to her out of principle, because she didn't listen to my warnings and I was trying to protect her. But since she left her "thing", which I hoped for good, it seemed the time to make things right with her. We almost immediately were back to where we were before all this crap began, and felt like a family again! October 2021, her "thing" got into some medical trouble in Florida. She still was locked to him legally, with things of hers in his name and vice versa. So she had to go back down there, get her things, and get him out of the hospital. She got that over with and came back to Michigan, only to have him follow her here. He was living in a car in our driveway for about a month before moving in to a halfway house till he could get a job. That was when my dad was put in a hospital, and a month later died. So there was a lot of chaos then that I won't get into. February came and he got an apartment, and since we had little space here, my sister and the nephews moved in with him. It was a couple months later he was caught drinking again, and my sister called the last straw with him (better late than never). He went into rehab, and as far as we know, he's been clean and almost human again for about a year now. He's on regular shots that make him sick if he consumes alcohol. I'll say this: If it wasn't for him getting cleaned up this last time, there would be a crime scene but no body to find. I wouldn't ask my sister for permission, I wouldn't even hesitate. He's put our entire family through hell with his narcissism, manipulation, abuse, and so much more. With my dad gone, it leaves me to protect my family, I promised him I would, and if that meant something drastic, then I'd do it for them. So far, he's been good. I'm always looking for the other shoe to drop though, and I won't hesitate to make him a bad memory if it meant my sister and the kids can live without that kind of hard life. She loves this song, and it makes her cry since she relates so much to it.

[@terrybeasley5931]

If you call the cops, they do nothing and the guy is even more pissed. He comes right back, but this time he kills you. Happens all the time.

[@maryreynolds5723]

I went through it for 17 years. I never told anyone because he was dangerous. One day a voice in my head said, don’t go home, he’s going to kill you today! I went into the safe program and I got tough and wasn’t afraid anymore. After being followed wherever I went, I had enough! I called him and told him I don’t know if it’s you or somebody else following me, but the next time will be the last. I carried a 44 magnum pistol and he knew it. I grew up with guns and hunting and I knew how to use them! AND I MEANT IT! One of us is going to die and I didn’t care which. He never bothered me again! Fast forward 35 years and I live in one of his rental houses. He’s my son’s father and I forgave him through God’s Grace! We are both remarried. Do I trust him….NO. But I’m not afraid either!

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

This is a true story. The man did 20 years, got out and she still had his truck. They got married and had children. They are still married and the man is a roady for Hardy. They are living in Alabama.

While his actions may have been wrong here, many dont understand that men whom have had a wife, mother, sister, child or dear friend abused have a completely different mindset. A large portion of this reaction comes from witnessing over and over again how the judicial system had failed abused with generally leads to more abuse or even death...

Nothing insulting about it at all? We had fun. We got along. He said it, not me, lol. He never insulted me, and I never insulted him. Back then, everyone (to a degree) could have fun and enjoy each other. There was not this animosity that exists today, thanks to Obama.
