His dream of moving to the Philippines shattered\ Nick’s Story

[@75daddygonzo]

Very sad story. I had some trouble in my youth but I turned to God and changed my life around. Im 48 and now I’m saving and investing, hoping to retire in the Philippines as well. I have a trip planned in a few months to go there. Love your videos. God bless you and your family

Tragic story. As you told the story, my mind kept going from different people I have known over the years. People, very loyal, great friends, and confidants. But would have an addiction that held them back. Or other emotional issues. It’s so sad. So much potential. I’m hoping he gets another shot and makes the most of it.

Sad story, Monty. Life can be a hard journey. People can make all kinds of mistakes along the way. But that doesn't necessarily make them bad. Kudos to you for giving him a shot and standing by him.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Thank you Gary 😊 Yeah but he was there for me as well through the good and bad. I truly hope that he can straighten his life out. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well

[@garylawson7801]

@crewfamilyphilippines I have witnessed 1st hand the debilitating effects schizophrenia has on sufferers and the stigma they face. I pray he is getting the required treatment and support needed to help him. Through a family member. I became aware of the disease almost thirty years ago. I have witnessed the roller coaster this person has gone through in their life. With the advancement of medication support services and a better informed society, with perseverance, they have managed to maintain a more settled life. I wish the same outcome for your friend.

Very interesting tale, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm 38 living in Texas and I make a lot of money but I'm in a lot of debt, trying to work hard and clear it all so I can actually start saving up money so I can early retire there in PH, I've known for sure I want to retire there by the age of 50 years ago. Your story reminds me why I need to make sure I do what I need to do and not try to get everything last minute as that can just be such a bad experience as you've had i'm sure. Take care and god bless.

Thank you for watching Brother. You are doing the right thing. I’m broke as a joke but I’m completely out of debt and I sent money to my wife when I was working to build our house here so we don’t have to pay rent. God bless you and I hope that you’re able to retire early and enjoy life 😊🙏🏻

Heartbreaking. Nick can get no assistance in navigating the criminal justice system, Meanwhile those burning down buildings in the name of equity, tolerance and diversity are met with zero punitive response from the government. I hope to be able to meet you someday Monty. You are a solid guy. Dave from Cincinnati.

Thank you so Much Dave. I was born in Springfield. I looked forward to meeting you when you make it over here 😊

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

SSSSSooooo you do not believe in equality? Tolerance? Diversity??? DO you believe that white, christian males should rule over all others? You talking about people fighting for equal rights as if you would have lynched Dr Martin Luther King Jr if it were up to you... Do you know how many black and brown people are being done far worse than him by the justice system? Funny that when a black person complains about the justice system, you demons tell us to "stop crying, criminal"... But when its one of yall.... "ooooohhhhh the justice system is so unfair and corrupt". Guess Trump has taught yall well. Im glad he cannot come here... one less colonizer here pretending to be human. But anyway... I want to know how you answer my first three questions... WS burned down entire cities in the name of supremacy... Bet you would love to be able to do that now huh?

[@florantevillaruz287]

Don't take your son in the Philippines if he is a trouble shooter guy

[@elmoelbow]

What does civil protest have to do with Nick’s condition. And how has their protest impacted his life or denied him any opportunity. Based on the story, Nick had support of several people and made choices at an early age that affected his entire life. Maybe the fault lies with his irresponsible, alcoholic parents who abandoned him at a critical time and age while providing zero resource or support after he turned 18. No Black or Brown people were mentioned anywhere in the narrative. So maybe shelve your racist tendencies for a moment to just feel compassion and empathy for a human with a good heart but bad luck. Hope he gets out and is able to realize a portion of his dream before he goes toes up. Good luck 🍀 Nick! From a concerned Black person.

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

@@elmoelbow TheInvisibleAmericanMan is just a Trumpanzie that needs to point to black people at any opportunity he can find. He wants to reach back to a peaceful protest, but I guess thats because those that participated in the terrorist attack on our capital are being rightfully punished (even if the punishments are not strong enough)... Well all except for the leader of the attack.. Thats his hero, and since Trump hates black people... he hates black people too.. Most likely he has never had a black person do anything wrong to him, but I bet he has has several white ones do him wrong... Sad that he hates black people so much, but only does so because he has been taught to.

One huge thing is we all have to get right with the Lord. Even a wonderful woman cannot competely straighten us out. Life is rough, but keep a stoic, prayful daily life. Much better to stay calm than angry. Keep it cerebral. And stay busy. Nick gets out, just day by day build things up. But, again, keep up the prayer life.

It’s a sad story, and it reminds me of my brother. We all had a very bad childhood, but my sister and I went one way, and our brother went the other way. He’s had a life of extreme alcoholism, drugs and arrests. Always a good heart, but always an F up. I’ve tried so many times over the years to help him, but he’s now 60, and I don’t think he’s going to change his stripes now. It’s sad, but he’s a grown man and has to help himself too.

I had a friend from high school who gave me a similar story. I believe he was bi-polar. When he was not depressed he could get great jobs and live right. But suddenly he would go into depression and destroy his life and the lives of everyone around him. In one of his good times, he married the perfect girl. I was tempted to warn her but didn't. They had a son and named him after me. He ended up addicted to heroine and lost wife and son. On my trips from the Philippines to the USA, I would try to contact him, but he was either in rehab or living on the streets. Finally, about 10 years ago, his father called me here in the Philippines to tell me he committed suicide. I was sad, but I understood. He was never going to get his life back together was obvious. He just couldn't face living his life anymore. I was sad and think about him often, but it was the first time I realized that,for some people, suicide makes sense. It was his only way out of his hell.

I understand all to well Edwin. I hope that he doesn’t do that. I picture his mind a living hell. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia and he’s bipolar so that affects him as well

Sad story and tragic. You seemed to be like a father and mentor to that guy and the one good positive influence that he ever had. He'll not do the full 15 years and will probably parole in about 6-7, but even so, he'll be under the watch of his PO and won't be able to travel far (let alone out of the country). Financially wise, your right, he most definitely won't have the funds to survive there in the Philippines and as a foreigner that's the last place to be if your broke. I'm on the cusp of retirement right now and my wife and I have a house in Tarlac, so we're trying to figure out if we want to stay there full time or go back and forth to Hawaii.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Hi Irish. Yes that would be a hard decision for you and your wife to make. I hope that it works out in a way that you will both be happy 😊

[@DoubtingThomas333]

Its a shame he didn't just ask for help. Even a local library or some organisation could have helped him.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Hi Thomas he is super embarrassed about it. I wouldn’t go to jail I would have asked for help 😊

[@brianbaxter3913]

Hi Monty. Very sad story and I hope he can get himself straightened out and have another chance at life. I have 2 friends that were alcoholics. One with the help of his girlfriend who he got married too got him sober and the other had to go through a lot of hard life lessons to get sober. He ended up losing his license 3 times for DUI. He also got married to a good woman that helped him get his life straightened out and they have 3 adopted children now. So it can be done just have to work hard to get life back in order

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Thank you for watching and commenting as always brother. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts and schizophrenia which also affects him

[@edic2619]

I had a business for 10 yrs in construction like yourself. I helped a guy like you did. A similar thing happened to me. My helper was very sincere, he ended up costing me big big problems and a lot of $. I ended up getting out of bus because of the mess he brought my way. Work so hard and another person causes so many problems.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Yeah thank goodness he wasn’t my biggest problem but he could cause chaos at times. I’m sorry to hear about your issues with your guy Edic

[@piacash5216]

Wow How Sad Hope , he gets help and Better 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️👍👍👍

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

A very good life lesson for young person.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Yes that’s the reason why I made the video so maybe a younger person might watch it and try to change before it’s to late 😊

[@topscris]

Really heartbreaking. Based on your story, I hope someone can help Nick with his probation but better yet, on his case. Because, unless the stabbing happened first that the guy had to fight back and stop the attack by detaining Nick with physical force, if not, then the guy should know that he would be the one facing charges for illegal detention of Nick, and then possibly jail time.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

I agree Chris no the old guy held him back and hit him with a chair. The whole house is on 24/7 video Nick got arrested the next day the detective showed up. Conveniently everything was a erased. I’m not saying Nick is a Saint but I think he was railroaded

[@marcrichard7251]

Wow, Monty….😮 that is a very sad story I guess I just have to keep him in our prayers that he gets delivered from drinking alcohol if anything yeah the only thing I could see him doing if he got 600 a month if he could be successful on KZbin, but that’s no guarantee but if he was a hit that would be his only way out in my opinion I could be wrong

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Thank you so much for watching Marc. I believe that he needs to decide that he wants help and wants to change before anyone can do anything for him

[@Feetonthesand]

What everyone needs is to have God and a spiritual life.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Yes I talk about that a lot. We all have a emptiness inside of us. Some people try to fill it with alcohol, drugs, other people and all types of bad things. Until you fill it with God you don’t feel complete. Thank you so much for watching Gerald 😊

[@bobbythespaceghost51]

It's very unfortunate. The foundation of all of this is taking a chance with a significant other, especially the way Nick was.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

It’s a sad situation Bobby

[@dr.detroit2877]

Monty, It sounds like Nick had alcohol fetal syndrome. Look up alcohol fetal syndrome face and see if you recognise the markers. He never had a chance in life other than the chance you gave him. Without you there, he had no guidance. Monty, why wasn't a contract drawn when you transferred your fencing business over to the other party? You still have some litigation you could do.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

I did have a contact with them. I have control of it now but without being there it has been difficult to try to sell it now

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

I will look that up but yeah he had a very bad addiction to it along with weed

[@dr.detroit2877]

@@crewfamilyphilippines Monty, You might want to contact a business broker. Do you have a list of inventory & tools? Comps of other fencing companies? A list of customers that were happy with your work? I would think Florida would have a big need to repair/replace fencing because of the weather and shifting land.

[@Abelius]

It's kind of ironic how the self proclaimed land of freedom is so unforgiving. I can't understand the cultural fascination from the rest of the world, really.

Mr Crew. Have you been able to talk to the young man. And do you feel this maybe the time for him to reset his life?? 😇🙏

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

I talk to him every Sunday he calls me from jail. He’s always good while he’s in jail because they give him medication for his schizophrenia and bipolar disorder but when he gets out of jail, he gets off of medication and refuses to take it.

[@Robert-k7m]

I can u destiny what your saying My .middle daughter Jennifer was on a self destruction and ended up dieing from that stuff called fintinal. I thought that was gunna send me into a Deep depression, and make me fall away from GOD, But it only made me focus on Ho.

[@homesteader2839]

Unfortunately, he dug his own grave. Made very bad decisions. Had an opportunity to salvage his life after some bad decisions but ended up back in prison. His mentality and wiring would have always lead him down a troubled path.

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

I have to agree with you. Unless he wants to change nothing will change. I’m not sure with his depression, anxiety schizophrenia etc that he’s capable of changing

[@homesteader2839]

@@crewfamilyphilippines He would need professional help to manage his conditions as best as possible. Not sure how he is treated in prison.

That’s a very good plan. I wish that I would have started much younger with a plan for retiring here.

[@stevef7798]

Great story Monty. I''d be interested in hearing more about your divorce if you're comfortable sharing. A lot of men get hammered with it and it alters their retirement plans. As a younger guy, I'd be interested in hearing what you think. Cheers!

[@crewfamilyphilippines]

Hi Steve thank you so much for watching. My ex wife subscribed to our channel because she is evil and she wants to make sure that I don’t say negative things about her and I have a 18 year old son who watches so I must be careful what I say.

Wow Monty ... what a story. So tragic how Nick was mistreated by his boyfriend, and locked up like a rat in a cage. Now the State's locked him up in their own cage. I hope he keeps looking forward, and, notwithstanding his predicament, makes the most of the rest of his life ... that's all we can do

Well I spent many years in prison my self for stupid young stuff however I turned my life around build a beautiful home in the Philippines and have a beautiful family here I got out started driving truck thomen bought my own semi and saved for few years every penny sold all my stuff then applied for disability I paid in all my credits so I'm pulling 1850.00 a month plus I got 16 months back pay I'm only 42 now so I can enjoy my life we started a piggery for income here and as far as your friend he will get back pay when he applies probably only a few thousand in back pay but he can use that to fly there and get set up and if he stays single he can live in 798.00 a month for SSI he can become a truck driver government will pay for school and most will hire felons hope he does well but we all make choices in life and we have to live learn from them
