Like this dude needs to be checked into some sort of hospital.

[@stitchedwithcolor]

YUP. like, no, it’s generally not a good idea to go swimming on your period, sanitary products generally do not survive getting submerged in water. But she’s a 13 year old kid; some kids don’t start their periods until age 12, so maybe not even a year of living with her courses, and she’s probably dealing with adolescent hormones plus period mood swings plus trauma to boot, of course she’s emotional. Poor kid learned EVERYTHING she needed to know and then some from the initial awful experience. What she needed was a hug, a towel, a change of clothes, and a dad who’d go to bat for her; what she got was punishments and a dad who joined the cruise staff in mocking his middle school-aged daughter. I think the boys are right and those punishments had nothing to do with hygiene or the daughter’s issues and everything to do with a man wanting to take his embarrassment out on someone and reassert control of his world.

That girl was mortified already, and the dad just traumatized her probably for the rest of her life. I seriously hope her mother divorced her father after that cruise. I would've gotten arrested for throwing that man overboard, if I saw that happen. At the very least, I would've gone off on him and defended his daughter. I'm only 19, but I'm 6'1 and weigh over 230 pounds. I wouldn't have stopped until that guy was as embarrassed as his daughter, or until he went overboard.

I had my first period at 12 in a pool at the water park area of a theme park. My parents werent there bc i went on a trip with family friends and their kids.

I was so humiliated and had so much shame about periods that i didn't even tell the adults I was with. (No cell phone bc I wasn't old enough and cell phones werent as common for younger kids to have yet) I spent the rest of the day at the park using toilet paper, cramping, and being worried that blood would come through. If an adult had punished me, shamed me, and mocked me for that....I probably would've broken down crying. This is already a core memory and nobody made me feel shitty about it!

And he was sooo off putting but even that could have been brought up in a healthy way and not been completely gross. The only thing a normal person in that situation would have had to do is just TELL her he thinks she's cute when she looks for stuff. And then instead of hiding her necessities like a weirdo, raise the possibility of buying her little gifts and tell her he hid them so she can find them like a little scavenger hunt But everything about exactly how this dude phrases stuff about her seems like he views her as more of a pet than anything else

The period story made me so angry. I was alone with my father when I got my first period, circa fifth grade. I was unrelatedly sick in the hospital, and he worked nights at the time while my mom worked days. The man didn’t panic. He didn’t shame me. Or make me feel worse than I already did. He got me clean clothes. Got pads from a nurse. And a bar of my favorite chocolate from my overnight bag started a Ghibli movie on our portable dvd player.

The story about the guy who hid things from his wife is the literal definition of gaslighting.

He is literally doing that. Making her slowly think she is going crazy and starts to build dependency on him to help her and gradually doubting herself and her reality. That is mental and emotional abuse. Narcissistic scum bag.

[@angellayaright9009]

No kidding. And I call BS that he thought it was 'cute'. I think he made all that up about her reaction when finding something just to soften what he has been doing to her and put a different spin on it.

She doesn’t know the guy and was very uncomfortable with the experience, we all were. When he came back to ask again, we said she left. He clearly didn’t believe us, there was no way any of us were going to tell him where she was. I was guarding by the window that faces the lobby. The guy was leaving and knocked on the window to get my attention. He mouthed “I know she’s there” as he pointed at me and then at the break room where the other lifeguards are. I told them and we were very worried. I turned to face the outside so I could keep an eye on him. While she was getting ready to leave, I kept seeing him pass by the window and peek in like a serial killer looking around the corner.

The father punishing his daughter for her period story legit made me cry. The trauma and shame that she's going to wrestle with for years to come!! And we can tell by the story that he's not a good father in other ways because if I'm a dad, and I see my daughter crying surrounded by blood, I'm gonna be frantically trying to calm her down and make sure she's okay. But no, this dad became immediately angry. Hard red flag right there alone.

I love Dark Damien in this episode. I was expecting Noah’s hot takes and Damien trying to give some room for forgiveness and growth. Nope. And he’s 100% correct on every take. More Dark Damien and honest af Noah please!

[@paygewyman5952]

The story about Sarah hit me HARD. That's the kind of shit my dad would do and then think he did nothing wrong. Her dad is the reason that girl will have trauma for the rest of her life.

Same, wow i actually started crying when shayne read it. i can just remember the feeling of not wanting to tell my family the first time, like many people did when they were young. But to think that she was probably even more scared because she knew what was bound to happen with such a shit father of hers

[@Scooter_Alice]

As someone who works with dogs, Damien is 100 percent correct about dog owners. There are soooo many dogs that come though my workplace who don't seem to have any manners whatsoever, and it's very obvious that so many of their bad habits are things they picked up as puppies and their owners never bothered to correct them. I genuinely wonder sometimes if the people who drop their dogs off should be disallowed from owning pets at all.

[@Andyyoureastar]

Definitely guilty of this. My mom got a dog and I’m trying to train him myself bc she refuses to. I’ve been frustrated to tears bc of his reactivity issues. I properly socialized our last dog but this one was not due to quarantine. Saving up for a trainer to teach me where I’m going wrong bc it’s definitely more so the humans than the dogs that need training.

[@alexnolastname9557]

People always think I can train their dog in three days and solve all of their problems forever

[@tarakennedy2512]

As someone who got their first dog that turned out to be a really difficult dog breed, I have endured so many bruises and tears and attacks on walks to train that dog. I put everything into her, but every method would stop working after a week. Some things we just couldn’t train out of her, and we had to settle for the things that we couldn’t change. She’s still reactive, but honestly I would take that over her biting and attacking us on walks. (And when I mean attack, I mean actual jump up and latch onto your arm and won’t let go.) She’s two now, and she’s a good girl and loves people, but she’s taught me that it’s okay for a dog to have flaws and they don’t need to be perfect, just at least don’t bite people or animals, and she doesn’t anymore.

[@grantkohler7612]

I used to work with a person who trained small dogs to use litter boxes, he insisted that the owners stay over the last three days of the two week training period so that he could train the owners on how to maintain their dogs behavior. I get that people don't understand how to train their animals, I had to be taught too. I think maybe a free manual should come with the purchase of the pets - even if it is a goldfish there are things new owners really should understand before taking on the responsibility for another life. - That said, I've never seen a dog walk on the kitchen counters like he owned the place, cats too often get a pass on behaviors that would not be put up with if it were a dog.

As a vet nurse, the whole owner not training their dog, thinking they are trained are the worst ones we see. Especially when they say “oh they are friendly”, tries to bite anyone that comes near them

[@ElleriaZer]

My dog barks at people and she isn't aggressive. This is why we are working on it. She doesn't get to go meet the human if she barks more than once. And if she barks constantly, we leave. One bark is telling me there's a person, and given that she sees better than me in the dark, I appreciate that bark. Any more than that is rude or may be seen as threatening. It's been a slow process because sometimes it's hard to get her out of sight of whatever she's barking at, but she's starting to get it.

[@Cashhhhew]

Same! We had a 160lb mastiff come in after mauling the owners own 9-y/o daughter. It boils my blooooood.

The poor girl who had the accident is probably gonna have trauma surrounding her period for YEARS!! And that father will probably never have a good relationship with his daughter ever again. My heart literally dropped when I heard what he did.

[@Storm_cryo]

It took me years to get over early period trauma from accidentally bleeding out in public when I first got mine. I can’t imagine what was going through this poor girls head as she got *punished* for something she can’t control. Especially, at that age when it’s still very confusing to get the hang of and get used to. John was easily one of the worst ones in this video

[@lakynsmith5744]

@@Storm_cryo yeah I drove home from school one time back when I was in high school and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I had COMPLETELY soaked through my light blue jeans. And i mean full leakage. No idea when it happened initially but by the time I caught it, it had definitely happened at LEAST an hour before. No one ever said anything so I try to tell myself no one saw but I STILL think about that almost 5 years later and that was with no one even mentioning it. Can’t imagine what it would’ve been like if someone had PUNISHED me for it.

[@CharlieApples]

For real. When I was 14 I went on an end of the year school trip to a theme park and got my period three days early as we were on the bus about to leave the park at the end of the day. I didn’t even know until I stood up to open my window and the two boys sitting in the seat across from me immediately started _screaming_ “EWWWWW!! FUCKING GROSS!!” and laughed and pointed at me. In a split second, every boy within 6 rows of seats of me jumped out of their seats like they were on fire and ran towards the front of the bus like I was contagious or something. The girl I was sitting with went silent and changed seats with a disgusted look on her face. I had no choice but to sit there bleeding and crying for the entire 3 hour drive back to the school, and do the walk of shame to my mom’s car when we finally got there while everyone laughed and “EEWWWWWW”ed.

[@blissfulmountain]

To me the worst is the dad who humiliated his daughter over her period accident. A grown ass man being that mean and demoralizing to his innocent young daughter is the worst.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Not to mention the fact that he's drilling into his daughter's head that her body and the natural things it does are disgusting and, by extension, she's disgusting. He's not only compounding her embarrassment and self-consciousness - something I know that any young teen but especially girls at that age don't need help with - he's making her feel like being a woman is a shameful thing to be hidden away from the world. On top of it, as they mentioned, if the other kids are boys, how are they going to think about women when they go out into the world if this guy is the one teaching them about life? Dude should not have children.

[@randyRKO1995]

He was definitely a bully in school

[@deanderthal]

A common theme is often the phrase "I would never hurt [person]!" - but when that person tells them they are hurt, they refuse to apologise and do mental gymnastics to make what they did ok/justified. So what they really mean is "I would never accept responsibility for hurting [person] and I think i'm in charge of deciding if and when their feelings are hurt."

[@luizaassis3567]

Exactly 💯

[@delaneykeller1389]

This!

[@cats1970]

yup. It just means "I don't want to be someone who hurts person so I've decided it never happened." part of growing up is deciding whether you care more about not feeling guilty or actually no longer BEING guilty.
