This interview made me tear up guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@yellowwomen3602]

I have PTSD from this guy, I swear. Years ago he was performing in town and my boyfriend at the time took me to see him. Problem was my boyfriend owned a bar so we got there late. Luis proceeded to call us out and embarrass the hell out of us over and over. Literally stopped the show had everyone turn and look at us, ask us if we knew how to tell time. I am one of these people that hates attention drawn on them. I just wanted to crawl in a hole in die.

[@zfan2591]

Louis talking about anger and animosity “burning away with time” really hit home. It’s so true. We learn to forgive our parents for their flaws as we get older because we realize that we have our own flaws.

[@Kal-EL_Volta]

Not just that man, the fact that our parents are just products of their environment.

[@forestsunset9617]

depends on what they did

[@colinrussell2017]

Great comment. I think how we view our past is coloured by our present. If we are at peace with our present, overall, we will be forgiving and understanding with the past. If our present is turbulent, chaotic and toxic, we will view the past the same way.

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

Goddamn, this one hit home really damn hard. My mother, while not perfect, has always been a saint to me. Just the thought of one day losing her absolutely crushes me. She raised three children without any support from my father. My father was an extremely mentally and physically abusive man. And at 6' 5", 240lbs, he was an imposing figure. He's only gotten worse with age, and now he's an alcoholic as well. My siblings were smart enough to cut my father out of their lives earlier in their lives. They saw what I couldn't. I always gave my father the benefit of the doubt, even though he's never once proven himself worthy of it. Just in the last six months, I've completely cut him off. I'm nearly thirty years old, and he's still the exact same man now that he was twenty five years ago. I spend a lot of time analyzing my mother and my father's family history in order to try to better understand their motivations, and I simply could never make sense of my father. Having said that, I wouldn't trade my father for any other. He taught me some hard lessons. Terrible lessons. He taught me how not to be. And I'm thankful for it. Plus, my mother is now remarried to an absolutely incredible man, who's treated me more like a son than my own father ever has. He's a great man, deserving of a woman like my mother. Life is hard, y'all. I don't know all the answers. I don't even know the answers to my own questions, much less anyone else's. I'm still figuring shit out.

[@Shortstacksandticktacks]

Chances are your mom isnt a saint at all. Shes codependent and irresponsible in her own way.

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

@@Shortstacksandticktacks I can assure you that that isn't the case. I did, however, say that she isn't perfect. No one is. Not that it matters to you at all, since you know everything about everyone.

[@blankcrow2204]

sorry to hear that man. seeing as you always gave your father the benefit of doubt id say that makes you a more empathetic person. but im so glad to hear your mother found a great new stepdad who gave you all that fatherly love and care that were missing from your biological father. and everybodys still figuring shit out man. im 10+ years older than you and i think i might be on the right track now, so lol, dont let that dissuade you 🤣 better later than never. some people may never find out their stuff, but better to start right now, right? :)

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

@@blankcrow2204 Yes, sir!

[@elainemorris4806]

What a stupid comment from Shortstack. Ugh. Anyway, I'm so happy your mom found a great man who treats her AND you so well. That's awesome! It's awful when a parent is abusive in any way to a child. It f's you up mentally. You're supposed to love you parent, but then they treat you like crap for years and years. You are supposed to look up to them, and they let you down big time! It's just terrible. It's okay that you're still figuring shit out. It makes you feel good when you do figure some things out, doesn't it? It took me years to accept my mom's alcoholism. I'm glad I did. It helped ME. Good luck to you.
