my dad lost his job over the summer and he was home the whole time and he never let me play xbox the whole summer and i was so mad that i was starting to hate him but after watching this video im grateful for having a dad and a loving family, family and school is more important than videogames. Thanks Dustin for teaching me to be grateful for what i have.

[@Chesty08]

Hearing you openly speak of this the way you have, and not wound up the way he was (no disrespect) shows a lot about your character, you sir have earned my respect

[@CODPrincessLuna]

Dustin, your story brought me to tears. I had the same thing happen to me when I was younger even worse now being a teenager. No one deserves that kind of treatment, I'm so glad your nothing like your father. Your going to truly be an amazing father, no doubt in my mind. :) just keep smiling.

[@surfer4life221]

You have all my respect to even be able to talk about and recount that story. I have heard many stories from my friends about family problems and even before they can start they just straight up bawl. But its always better to let your feelings out no matter what.

[@wahz913]

Hearing stories like this make me truly grateful for my parents. Your kids will be awesome, they have a lot to be thankful for with you as their father. Keep at it Pwn

[@ShrimpPillow]

I respect you Dustin, despite what you've been through you still manage to be such a humouristic and funny guy, but at the same time incredibly intelligent and mature. I really enjoy these commentaries! It helps me, and I think other people too, to get to know more about the guy we support by liking & favoriting and making us more enthousiastic and willing to put effort into that.

[@Pass-On-By]

You know life sometimes can just turn on its head in an instant and you're left with no resources to save yourself or get your life back on track.you live the nightmare because there's no alternative,even though you've tried. Respect Pwn as talking about this so openly can't be easy but you're doing it right.

[@muskie008]

be the best dad u can. be there for your kids. be a mentor and a shoulder to lean on. thats the true meaning of a dad.

[@Tygram17]

I didnt nearly have the childhood you did my parents have always been there for me. But I have gone through depression for over a year and i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I just graduated from Connecticut school of broadcasting and I'm happy again. Your goofy videos and alot of other things have gotten me back to myself so thank you pwn. Your the best commentator on KZbin because your honest with your subs

[@Eholmes96]

Dustin i take my family for granted after hearing this i can now tell you i cherish myfamily i just wish that yours could have been better, you are an inspiration to everyone, brave to explain your story and finally just an example of a geniune awesome human being!

[@Thatguitardude99]

just going through something similiar too pwn, i recently told my father i didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, it is hard, but remember that you have thousands of people holding your back, and now ive watched this video, i feel like you have my back too dude. keep ya head up

[@Chick34]

Man I know that feeling raising someone else child. Didn't find out my daughter is not my daughter until she was 11. Mess my life up completely, still trying to recover. Keep your head up dude. Be better than your dad. Peace!

[@Nerdgasm5]

Pwn, it's awesome that you can share your life with your subs. I had the same thing essentially happen, but with my mother, and her drugs and assorted things. I feel ya bro. Things will get brighter as the days pass, and you will learn to forgive your father for the things he's done. Everyone has their moment, and his happened to be a few years long. I know you can get through this with a level head, and being the better man. You've earned my respect man. Good luck with the baby.

[@spanky4270]

The saddest thing......so many of us can relate to you Dustin. This is to common now and our story runs parallel. Heart and Soul Bro

[@Nyghtrid3r]

Man I can't believe that you can tell us that. You went through so much shit and you can still tell us that. That's just amazing...

[@TaylorIreland]

Dustin these videos are so emotional I love I teared up on this one, I can relate to a lot of what you're saying but dude you're going to be a great father

[@Ymril]

Dustin, I don't want to make you sad in any matter, but this video made a lot more aware of a thing I was already aware of : my dad is awesome. Listening to you speaking about your dad made me sad because even if I don't know you personnally, I feel sorry for you, for not having the childhood you deserved. I'm sure you're an awesome guy and you should had an awesome childhood.

[@AwSomeNESSS]

Pwn I cannot even contemplate my thoughts right now because of watching all of these videos at once. You choose really deep into your thinking. So many mixed emotions from myself right now about what has happened to u and how some of the things uve said in these videos have somewhat connected to my own life. Please try and do these more often because this has really struck a chord in my heart for u. Keep it up pwn!!

[@JulesLeStrat]

You have all my support Dustun. Though I wouldn't really know how it feels because I have an awesome father ; I want to tell you you have all my respect and I know you will be a perfect father.

[@GingerNingerish]

I don't usually watch videos over about 10 minuets on KZbin but i have been all of this series and from start to finish and have enjoyed listening to your story, it really been an eye opener for me, i look forward to hearing more Dustin!

[@Lycan3303]

My dad left my mom with me and two brothers all alone when I was only 7 and only saw him once or twice ever few years. This year I graduayed high school and personaly whent to my father to give him an invatation to my graduation. He looked at me gave the invatation back and said he didn't want to go becouse he had more important things to. Never said congradulations or I m proud of you. He just rejected me and walked away. I feel you pawn and I m a big fan of your vids. Keep on bro

[@TheHarRAR]

PWN ,YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION THE YUONGER CROWD LISTENS TO YOU AND YOU ARE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION .......THANK YOU DUSTIN

[@xXBaska]

You're an inspiration mate, being successful with a loving wife and kid on the way. Much love bro

[@1987RaPsCaLLioN]

I feel for you Dustin, I can't appreciate it but thank you for sharing- your a good guy. You choked me up with your Grandma Amtrac, and this stuff as well.

[@GR33NHAZ3]

Respect. All i got to say. I thought i had it tough, i've got two loving parents and i'm so grateful. Thanks pwn. Someone always has it harder than you.

[@contemplationstation87]

Hey dustin, man I gotta respect everything you have done, you are an excellent reminder to all of us that life is what you make it. Love your videos dustin and look forward to seeing the next one. Take it easy man

[@red83093]

this is so depressing but i can relate so well im 19 and just 2 months ago found out my father isnt who I thought I never knew my real father and apparently i have 5 brothers but i have grown up being beaten with a 2x4 from my stepfather who I honestly hate and when I found the truth my whole family turned on me lashing out about how its my fault and just being horrible I can relate so well to the story of your life that you are talking about and I love every video it brings back memories

[@Bashyb]

im surprised how u turned out, it gives me hope that no matter what happens in the past that u can overcome it and find happiness

[@oopsimdrunk]

I love these videos. We get to see the man behind the camera. Everybody is always like "ohhhh hes so cocky and thinks hes all that because he's on youtube". But in reality, you're just a human with problems like the rest of us.

[@PsycoDragonable]

I wont even lie. I don't like these videos, they honestly sadden me, but however i do support you and your videos and greatly appreciate you having the courage to do them. Thank You Dustin.

[@natebot321]

Dude. Wow. That's just... Wow. I'm amazed at your story but I'm also amazed that you held yourself together as you told this story.

[@ADragonsFear]

Pwn, I sincerely respect you and I may be young and I didn't have to deal with everything my brother did, but I didn't grow up with a father and I probably wont. Right now I live with my mom and I completely remember five year back when we were piss ass poor and we had to live off of mcdonalds dollar menu and like hot dogs and noodles because those are damn cheap. To be honest the closest thing to a father was my brother. I found out over summer foundout my dad is dead. Major Respect Pwn!

[@Frauenman]

I agree some things are very sad, but also it's things like this that makes life colorful. I enjoy very much listening to a person talking about his life, and actually have meaningful things to say. Imagine if life was only about parties, having the good time, getting drunk and so forth... kinda pointless and degenerative. Life is a very interesting occurance. If one stop and think about how things are and how people act around you, in good and bad ways, one will learn a lot.

[@cyrutvirus]

Shit. I didn't know a person could go through so much and be still as nice as pwn and have the morals of a good person. I am here for you man

[@d0tc0mmie]

I think i shed a tear :(

[@ayotonio27]

Pwn I really look up to you !! Like no joke you have opened up to random people on youtube, some haters , some fans like me & honestly I have learned so much from you about what you've gone through, I'm 15 I thought I knew it all, done everything but you made me realize that some people have it alot worse then me but still are such cool people like you ... Hope you actually read this

[@seanyboy107]

Damn, I am probably the luckiest person out there family wise. We celebrate everything together and everyone is super open. For simple birthdays we fly family members in from around the world just so they can hang out and get drunk. At family reunions we have to book entire ski hills and hotels. And not to mention we own a huge amount or waterfront land on lake of the woods for summers seasons. I was lucky. I may not feel your pain, but man if I could share with you I would!!!!

[@dannyfranco7628]

Very heart felt commentary pwn. Im sorry you had it so tough with your father. I personally think you turned out into a great person whose very outgoing and has an amazing personality. Dont let anyone bring you down or change who you are. Just keep being yourself. ;)

[@videogamers100]

(pt.2) this woman gave her kids anything they wanted, both eventually getting brand new, expensive ass cars when they turned 16. im 18 years old now, senior in high school, and i watched my life change in front of my eyes, my father was no longer mine, he was being controlled, and the woman whom i despised for half of my life(my mother) is now in the picture. i might not have been through everything that you went through pwn, but beileve me, i know it is probably the most painful experience.

[@warchief96]

Love you, pwn. Sorry to hear you had such a rough child life, and I hope talking about it helps you feel better, also knowing that we're listening. Stay awesome, man :]

[@jonaslum]

One of the best videos I've seen from you Pwn. I don't always enjoy the topics on some of your videos but you strike me as an intelligent person with an incredible speaking and storytelling ability (especially if the stories are true).

[@1rtwilson]

Sorry to hear all this bro :/ You really had a tough up-bringing, I respect you a lot for being able to tell us, share with us your personal stories and issues. Much love man seriously

[@torell95secto]

pwn this hits home .. im half tempted to show my dad this the one time i see him a year...

[@ZekesGamerTag]

Best one yet. Felt like hours listening to this. Can't wait for more.

[@unspokenbazinga]

Im happy to see that Im not the only person whose gone through this.

[@Takhar7]

This series is deep man... damn. This hits me. Really hard. Keep it up Dustin - really enjoying it

[@lindvi0r]

My dad was never around, I'm in my 20's now. I don't know if it's really affected me. My moms been both, she's a great mom and a dad :P. I feel for you Dustin, glad you're where you are now :)

[@the_kretz]

Fuck me, I didn't think I ever cry on a iPwnstar4hire video. You've had a rough life man, and getting through all that...I am both proud of a man older than I, and I have a ton of respect for you.

[@smartyd13]

This the saddest thing I have ever heard. I feel sorry for you Pwn. I hope things get better for you.

[@richpirates1]

pwn if you like fishing theres some good fishing in a couple weeks in michigan. there will be a salmon running into rivers around the great lakes, and it's one of my most favorite fishing times.

[@CMoon2040]

your a good man pwn, and will be an excellent father. kudos for opening up, its not easy but i hope after you make this series you will feel better after having explained it all. thumbs up for pwnstar, loving husband and soon to be father

[@Minilepracorns]

Its interesting to see how other people grow up I grow up with a happy stable family on the other side of the world. Its interesting thank you for opening up

[@HockeyPRO5000]

He kinda sounded like he was about to cry.Its amazing he was able to stay strong talking about this topic

[@DomesticDiscount]

My dad died when I was 1. I never knew him. My parents were teenage parents, and he didn't leave, He put his family first. But I guess he had to be taken for some reason, I really don't know why. My mom is the hero in my opinion. She managed to raise me by herself, with no support from her parents, because she was a teenage mom, had 2 jobs, and still went to school. It pisses me off when people say "I hate my parents" Please, be grateful you even have two parents, because there r people who dont

[@DaGn0528]

I hope everything gets better through the years

[@TheClutchman32]

you my friend go through alot of shit and i respect u for that keep doing what ur doin

[@JoshDamn03]

Pwnstar is the only man only commentator that I will watch 20 minutes worth willingly and not pause it. LOve u Pwn, glad to see what kind of man u have become. i am one of the original subscribers

[@jcolonna12]

Keep it up man!! I just started to watch it today during my free time and i cant stop watching them, i was sad that this was the last episode that was uploaded so far. Cant wait for the next one!!

[@tellis9844]

Puts things in perspective when i think about the shit i ve complained about all my life, and then you here someone with real weight on their shoulders. good on you Pwn

[@Ez.Here0]

After hearing about you in this episode pwn i feel the sadness and pain you have to go through. Eventhough i never encounter this problem in my life it feel sad to hear about it.

[@donaldncao]

You know, I never thought I'd say this to a guy that makes battlefield videos but, I respect you more and more each About Me video.

[@TvojaMama024]

Thank you Dustin, up unti now I thought my dad was bad, because he was more of a friend to me than a dad. But now I know I dont have it so bad. Thx

[@Ky40291MJ]

Deep shit pwn, this gave me a little better insight to my own life and why I kind of don't get alonge with my own father that well. I hope things work out man and keep your chin up.

[@Panttz12]

Thank you for your honesty Pwn. Stay big champ

[@manuteag6]

I was really touched by this vid man... U already became a greater man that Ur Dad will ever be ^^ Keep on the good vids

[@Allig8rGaming]

Pwn...this is a great series and its really good that your getting this off your chest and us getting to know you better.thanks dustin!

[@SynergyxVeNN]

Sorry u went through this man. I sort of can relate. My mom broke up with my dad and then 2 years later he got into a car accident and died unfortunately. I was devistated at age 9 :(

[@FarAway959]

It was like that for me to dustin, my mom and sister raised me, but my dad was the same thing. He didn't cheat as far as I'd known, but he didn't have a father growing up either, his dad died after being in a war. But I never talked to him as a father, he let me play all the video games I wanted, we had a NES with duck hunt and all that, but he never talked to me about things. I know how you feel in a sense, he still isn't really a father now, I don't talk to him, still.

[@Joshyouare94]

everyone in the comments seems to be talking about borderlands 2. pwn, i'd just like to say i feel so very very much for everything you've been through, and im sorry that you've had to go through all this, but i wish you all the best for a very successful future :)

[@jondoese22]

props to you and your mama. i got mad love for strong women

[@theBROWNKNIGHT1]

pwn after you've finished with this series can u do a q+a with u and ur mom taking the best questions from all the ep. i think it will be a great sum up and it would be great to hear ur moms side of the story.

[@thack3r182]

I have had similar things happen in my life, so I know what you are going through or what you went through.

[@MrThreeWorlds]

Actually I subbed because I love hearing him commentate. He's a great guy and in some ways he's kind of like my friend who I've never met or spoken to. The gaming is just a bonus. If you don't like these videos then don't watch them, I don't think he's gonna quit posting these because allot of people like it.

[@Oman666444555]

I love you Dustin, your gonna be the best father.

[@TheRazorHail]

amen.

[@alleycat2697]

i dont know weather or not to like this vid bc its very heat breaking love and support to you and u have a wonderful life and i can see the type of man you are and im sure you will not do that to you children

[@dakohrs21]

pwn, i went through the same thing you did, except it was both my parents. it sucks, and i feel for ya bro.

[@Reapz22]

Dustin , your life isn't miserable.You will have a child that will love you and you also will have the chance to forget all the bad things that happened to you

[@exstreamgamer]

better to not know a parent and imagine the outcome in a posotive manor rathor than faceing a potentially dark reality that you dead parent living might have been the worst case scenario props to pwn for confessing this stay stronge dude

[@Cpt.Iceviper]

@iPwnstar4hire pwn i just want you to know i respect you with every fiber in my body for what you are doing here... i know for a fact that these stories cut deep in the feelings i mean i had a brother i knew a rather short time because he died at the age of 7 months and that still hurts knowing you had a brother but never able too talk too him.

[@sm9496]

That was an awesome commentary own. I'm sorry that you never really had much of a father growing up. But you still turned out to be a great person nevertheless. Keep up the good work. Your child will be lucky to have a dad like you

[@DoNkEyDuK]

me and you have had the same daddy issues pwn and stepmother issues, due to my father i was in hospital for a month and that is the reason i have asthma. he just never gave a shit and played pc all the time.

[@hanzmullervonsmuts1801]

Seriously this was a very moving video! Loved it and keep doing them!

[@AnvilMotionPictures]

wow pwn man that was deep bro I'm sorry to hear all that was your relationship with your dad.

[@TheClearHD]

This thing actually happened with me and my father but its been a year since I didn't see him and I started to not care ... love your vids pwn !!

[@TheSuperced123]

Every time i watch this i cry...

[@Leeroyumbop]

thanks for such an insight into your live. such a well told story that I think can help people that have had similar upbringings to you. also some great entertaining gameplay Pwn we love you!!! :D

[@HeavysRib]

It's all good Pwn, I find it huge that you're revealing so much of yourself on youtube, cuz we both know how many dicks there are here. I like this series very much, it's interesting to see what you think about what happened to you and what you think when this happens to others. Keep it up, we'll will keep watching your vids.

[@m110588]

I feel so sorry for you PWN but don't let it get you down.

[@pyroninja72]

It's cool to hear this kind of stuff because I can relate. I have a shit dad too and we have the same hobbies

[@NastyyNate]

Damn pwn that takes a lotta balls to confess this to the whole world dude I never would be able to do what you're doin with this series, but it seems like our childhood is a lot a like except my dad left me and my mom when I was 2 weeks old and like you he got me into gaming he'd cook a steak or something then go to his room get drunk and left me with his mom and dad (he still lived with them) and I would go over friday at 6pm and come home sunday at the same time. And he still says I'm not his.

[@SomeGuy62121]

Your story sounds a lot like my step dad, except my step dad would beat my mom and I just grew up frustrated that I couldn't help her out. I was fortunate to have a real dad that was a great father though.

[@fredflinta11]

This is amazing! i dont have propper english to give tribute but finally somone does something real, gonna go throu your other videos but can already tell your on to something good

[@31v13]

I've never watched you before this day but I just wanted to tell you that we, the audience, are here for you if you need us.

[@awate3]

I love hearing your story pwn. props for opening up

[@mastergokuvageta]

next month im going to be seeing my father for the first time since i was 5. im 19 now so it will be interesting to see how things go.

[@PickleishBILL]

Worked so be thankful u had a father but still not very good of one

[@LightningChild241]

Pwn, my 2 year old nephew has the same problem. Deadbeat dad, who even FAKED joining the military so he could run away and get high. My sister is in rehab currently. This poor child is having to be raised by my parents, his grandparents. He is running around all day saying "Mommy!" or "Daddy" and all we can say is "They arent here right now".

[@TheZuzupeste]

pwn is there but he needs to wake up right now he is 100% wanting to make sure that his family is happy (and probably he is 100% cause of hit childhood :() so as a a loyal sub all you can do to "awake" him is to support him at his need (like now)

[@coletrainatec]

that last part about the guy in the army reminds me of the beggining of me, myself, and irene with jim carrey
