The fact that he said “you put me on” speaks volumes. Women are ignoring the emotional damage he’s had to suffer for having to grow up soo fast..without a father and then having to step up and play the father role for his siblings. Who was taking care of him emotionally? Did his mom ever think maybe he drinks because he’s missing that fatherly love? She thought just buying him stuff was gonna make up for him not having emotional support as a boy? And do these women think they are helping him to stop? They are only making it worse. 😢

[@jj51424]

The fact that he said "You put me on" and they ignored it, is the real problem.

[@deathflame3849]

Parentification is when a child is forced to take on the role of an adult. When caregivers aren’t able to fully show up for themselves, children get put into developmentally inappropriate situations. As an adult, they may find it hard to trust others, manage their own emotions, and form healthy intimate relationships. They face a greater risk of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and eating disorders.

I can share something valuable to this almost nobody knows anything about. My father was abcent as well, but not as much as with this guy. (If this is real btw all of this seems like acting and weird body language if you ask me). Something people don't realize is that if a boy grows up with his mother and the father is abcent, this can cause the boy to resent the mother. Because the father is not present enough, the mother becomes TOO present for a boy. This causes damage to his male identity that every boy is looking for and this guy misses strongly. And then yes him saying ''you are my best friend ma''... your mother is not supposed to be your best friend... she is supposed to be your mother first, anything else second. So his father was not there for him. Even his mother was not there for him at times. And then the mother probably sees him as her ''best friend'' that she loves so much. His mother is the only source of love, and the only source of hurt at the same time. His mother is clearly emotionally fucked in the head (Reminds me of my own hurting mother). She is immature as shit.

[@fathomlessfitness8540]

@@jameswayton2340 damn! That’s DEEP. I didn’t think of her being “too present” or the resentment it causes some men to have towards their moms if the dad leaves.

[@shanelalitay1224]

His mother treated him like a substitute husband, “man of the house” spoiled him and probably never had talks about goals, having ambitions and now is mad how he turned out. These women are disgusting for how they treated him

[@jameswayton2340]

You absolutely nailed this and described it perfectly. This is what i was sensing as well. When he said ''she's my best friend'' i knew what he meant. Your child is not supposed to be your best friend. The mother is immature. Perhaps borderline like my own mother. And yes because she spoiled him and showered him with motherly love this only makes him reject his mother in the end. Of the father is not present and only your mother is, she automatically becomes to present. This guy is looking for his MALE IDENTITY.... Wich is the problem so many boys are struggling with. How are you going to develop that without a dad that is present? You can't. Boys not growing up with a dad that is mentally and emotionally present grow up with a male identity that is based on symbolism. This is what creates ''alpha douchebags''. Ohhh eat meat and muscle and have a big car and money and be like a super hero is male idenitty!... is what they think. And al these women don't UNDERSTAND that. This mother is fucked up, i bet she is only sad because her oldest child is not able to play that substitute husband/friend of hers. Thats not what real love is. She is like a copy of my own mother wich i am dealing with so this is a eyeopener for me as well. This video is not about depression alone, its about him being traumatized and emotionally neglected. And instead of a experienced psychologist specialized in trauma he gets to talk to these Goblin freaks who pretend to have his interests at heart and pretend to know what is good for him, as if they have knowledge on this topic... fucking retards. Serously this video really upsets me because i'm dealing with trauma right now similar to this. Its such a invisible wound you carry with you and people have NO IDEA about these things. Its as if so many people are fucked up themselves they don't even know how to seperate healthy/unhealthy anymore. Everyone becoming narcissistic and borderline and immature as shit.

[@bryangolding7463]

I got cussed out the other day because a woman said “having no man gives her extra time to spend with her kids”. I responded saying “please make sure you maintain a healthy balance and not burden those kids with your emotional burden.” She and others start telling me I have issues and I’m projecting 😂😂. I just repeat and left them alone because I really been seeing this since I was a kid. Never happen to me tbh caz I was the wild one who couldn’t be tamed.

[@mdhall04]

This was horrible. My heart hurts for him. There was true pain behind what he was trying to say. The host were horrible and so was his mother. The best description his mother could of gave of how he “used to be” was to describe how he handled responsibility she put in him as a child smh! They wouldn’t even let him speak and when he was able to get a word out they invalidated his feelings. How terrible! I pray he was able to get help and healing from REAL professionals and not paid to play idiots on tv.

[@HasanPikerIsADouche]

That the mother will pay for, and has probably already sent him to... this is a simple case, she throws him out of the house, stops paying for him, and maybe he builds some character

[@dorenjackson1166]

The conviction in that white ladies voice when she read his bar tab was so irritating. His face said it all. Then she had the nerve to say “on our tab”. I also struggle with alcoholism. I would say I am a functioning alcoholic but I’d lie if I say I go a day without a drink. I’ve had my own life problems & I don’t find it as an excuse but I get my peace when I get a drink & listen to music & podcast. Smoking used to be my thing but I need to stay clean for my career so that led to drinking. I say all that to say that I understand when you’re depressed it may lead to you finding things to take your mind off of it. I actually lost a friend of 20 years, two years ago to suicide. & we are only 28. From the outside looking in, it looks like life is going great. I live in a wealthy city, make good money, I take the gym very seriously but it’s what’s inside my mind that makes me feel like no one will understand. I totally empathize with this guy trying to talk to ppl who can’t even show sympathy

The way they dismiss him is disgusting. How can he be spoiled if he’s stepping in to be a father to your other kids because of his mothers decisions? How can he really have friends if he is taking care of his siblings and there is no family structure or guidance? Also there are NO MAN on this panel let alone BLACK MEN…he needs therapy with a black therapist preferably male. This is what happens when young men don’t have male role models in the home and present mothers. Disgusting

Facts ‼️‼️i really hope he finds the men that can relate to him and not these delusional women that could never because This situation might scar him even more now and then it will be these same women that will turn around and be surprised why all of our strongest men murder themselves.

[@dontbedarius]

What he is saying is that he is tired of pretending to be his mother's husband. This usually happens to the first born of a single mother. The mother is basically making the kid become an adult before he finishes being a kid. When you have that kind of pressure on you, it definitely puts you in a dark place. You are basically being asked to be the father (a parent) to your siblings, while no one is there is being a parent for you. It's like asking a kid to fly a plane thru a storm and they were never taught how to fly a plane. However the mother is working hard to afford a nicer plane to fly. Hopefully that makes sense. In this video, he is asking how to land the plane but all these women are judging him that his flying skills are shit. Meanwhile other kids that grow up in 2 parents house holds are still at the flight academy, learning how to fly before they become adults. When he mentions the fake friends, he is basically saying his friends were jealous that he is already flying while they have to finish the academy before flying. I just hope he gets the help to land the plane and can continue with life rather than crashing that nice ass plane his mother guilted him into flying too early in life.

[@Kureemy]

They dont know what hes going through because they havent been throught it but when they end up like him they try to get people to understand them and they dont they critize them and make them feel unworthy and de graded in front of a buch of people that only agrre with the people citizing them because they are followers and that can make you feel like the whole world has turned on you and thats why so many people have taken their lives

This is a respectable young man among non-understandable older hags & I’m sorry he had to go through this on TV but hope and pray he got through this state & would love an update to know if he’s doing better

Probably because women don't think men don't go through shit in life, without realizing men's suicide rates are higher than that of women. If they step into our shoes they'll know how we live and struggle. There was one women that changed her gender to prove men have it easy in life. Only to commit suicide after 7 months of depression for being a man because she discovered that men have it harder than women and that women are very very evil in nature. Her name is Norah Vincent.

As someone with depression I’m so upset for him they didn’t even listen to him he’s drinking to numb the pain and thoughts he has you may be a single mother but how was this kids childhood there is more to it I just want to hug him and then people wonder why we don’t open up because of the judgment and criticism that’s your child sit down and speak to him understand where he’s coming from get him the help he needs don’t go on a live show to humiliate him further when he’s already feeling down he’s asking for help he’s telling you he’s in pain they made his feel invalidated

[@lay3243]

this makes me sick, he couldnt even express his feelings without them interrupting him, you could have gave him a chance to open up about his depression, so could have his mom, she could have at least sat him down and talked to him, he kept trying to tell them that he was in a dark spot, but all they wanted to talk about was his drinking problem 😭🙄! He had to yell because his mom kept talking over him, but as soon as he started talking, they wouldnt even let him finish, I could see why he was very emotional . The judges cant even feel his pain, i feel so bad for him, a lot! 💔🤬‼️ .

Its not sympathy he needs, its empathy. Not having friends can put you in a very dark ans lonely place for sure. The mom overcompensated because she felt bad that she was a single parent who put a lot of responsibility on him. She gave him STUFF instead of finding him a Father Figure.

[@lochan8180]

2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I personally experienced how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️ To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life. "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15) Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. 🙏

these people must not understand depression. it doesn’t matter how well somebody treats you or how much you love them, you can’t control your emotions. they say “tell us how you feel” and then say “you got it twisted” this is the worst way to approach depression. he probably has issues from not having a father and having to help raise his sisters, it’s not easy. not to mention her saying “where’s that kid?” after he says he’s depressed is so gross. i’ve been through depression and when my family forced me to do things and told me constantly i changed for the worse, it made me feel so much more shittier. all of these women aren’t understanding him. he’s blaming his mom, yes, but that’s because he’s feelings things he doesn’t understand. as a man, to openly talk about depression is hard already because you’re expected to be manly and not cry. these women genuinely frustrate me. he’s admitting he’s depressed, listen and get him help before it’s too late.
