The silver lining is, if somebody thinks "I don't want to become like my dad", they're much better than that. Some people react to abuse by abusing other people, and others react to it by rejecting it completely.

[@deenice9169]

Dude same!!! I didn’t even see this comment yet and said “damn that’s deep” and almost cried (I never cry) when he said that part. Idk if you ever saw the WWE documentary “Beyond the Mat”. Made around 1999 or 2000. But when it focuses on Jake the Snake I remember he says how he hated his father not being present in his life and then he cries and says how he abandoned his daughter and says “I hated my father for leaving but my God, I’ve become the same exact thing...the same exact thing”. As a father, that part hit me hard

[@piratesfan1995able]

I wish Joe would have asked more on that. Maybe the sense is unexplainable but how he described the kid's behavior sounded like a typical shy kid too me. As a kid I was horrible at making eye contact, my parents would have to insist on me to say something when talking to a stranger, when I was real little I was one of those kids that hid behind their parents legs, but I was never abused. I guarantee throughout Jake's career he has talked to countless amount of shy kids. What's the difference between a normal shy kid and one that's abused?

My maternal grandfather died when I was 14 years old. I met him for the first time as he laid in a casket. My mother would never take us around him. She had to go through sexual abuse from him along with her sisters. Her brothers used to get beat with objects including hammers. They were even knocked out cold a couple times. She still suffers from all of this and living through it has made her a stronger and more compassionate and caring person. Jake has no doubt suffered because of his experiences. Takes one hell of a human being to be able to push forward like he has.

[@justinleandoer6821]

Him talking about being afraid of his own children is something ive learned. My dads dad was afraid of children and would never be alone with them for this fear. My dad never changed a diaper never hugged or told me or my siblings about how much he loved us untill we are all now adults. We are all closer to our father now and realized he didnt mean nothing negitive by it. We were never abused but very confused but jake basically said it word for word. Breaking generational trauma takes a life time and I believe my dad and his did made my life easier for me and my children now, who I tell I love and hug every day.

Anyone who says "all you need to do is get help" doesn't know anything about mental illness. It's day to day, sometimes minute to minute, because you really don't know what will trigger and episode because that monster you have inside your head controls everything. Pills make you a zombie, "getting help" buries you because you, as Jake said, don't want to remember, you want to forget and overcome it. . .and the lack of understand everyone has in the general public reinforces the monster's controlling thought that you are everything the monster makes you.

Jake was one of my favorites back in the WWF day’s. This guy made it through hell and back and I’m glad he got himself on track. So many damn demons he fought but he didn’t become a cautionary tale even through everything he endured throughout his life. God bless you, Jake!
