I am one of the 9 who never spoke of the abuse. My abuser was my 4th grade teacher. Even worse, he became my brother in law (married my sister)! I also fell into patterns of despair and defeat. I am 50 years past the abuse now, and I still harbor that pain. Thank you for telling your story. It helped me.

Same!!! I have a ton of admiration for you and your fight, Clark. You are so easy to listen to and so easy to be inspired by because you're being sincere and genuine. Anyone who thinks you're a fool simply doesn't understand, it's nothing you can change, only life can. Please ignore any negativity. I can unfortunately relate to so much of your story and so can countless others. Those of us in this boat are receiving more from you than you can understand. ❤

I am a 72 years old female who is still haunted by the pain of my molestation by my own father as a child but the one thing that hurts me the most and always will was my mothers disbelief, her accusation that I had lied and thus ruined her marriage. A bullet to my heart would have hurt less. We never really made peace with that before she died. I believe Clark, every word.

[@heidi32500]

​@@clarkfredericks3309 I looked for a way to email you, but couldnt find. So, here I am. Clark. I have a brother that has served 2 sentences, one for 10 years, for pedophilia. I vowed I would never speak with him again. I did not want to ever see him again. I have written him out of my life until a seasonal event occurred. I am the lone sibling taking care of my 89 y.o. mother with dementia at an assisted living. I also have adult children who need help, I had to retire from nursing. Lots of other storms for the last 5 years seem not to let up in my life. A brain tumor, my brother committing suicide, Yada, Yada, yada. It's likely going to shorten my. All the stress and trauma. My brother is let out of prison and wants to have time with our mother before she passes. He has been very helpful by keeping an eye on her. We started talking. Something I vowed I wouldn't do. He has helped my adult son navigate incarceration from a negligent homicide case. (An unimaginable tragedy). I am really on guard about boundaries. My son even worried whether he should even talk to my brother. I told him it's his choice and whatever is said does not suit my son's higher purpose then let it go. I feel torn. I think I will not continue the relationship with him when my mom passes. We shall see if he continues speakimg with my son periodically. My son is the one doing most the calling when it comes to legal matters. My son I speak of was sexually assaulted while living on the streets. I am a victim myself. So we are very sensitive about what he did with other children. He feels he served his time for his crimes, is in therapy by choice. But I can't shake this feeling he is grooming me, as an adult, so he can keep up a relationship. I am the only family member left that allows contact. I feel mixed up. I will talk to my therapist about this. Not sure if I have a question but just want some perspective of the best thing to do. All my best. Agnostically yours in common love of our fragile yet resilient nature.

Clarks videos are hands-down my favorite. I have a very similar life experience and his testimony helped give me strength to have a talk with my family about it. Years of therapy and healing were not enough, but having confirmation from my loved ones helped alleviate a lifelong heavy depression. Clark encouraged me to reach out to my childhood sweetheart, which has been the most heartwarming part of my process. For the first time in decades I have hope. Thank you Clark and thank you mark.

I just watched the first video with Clark and cried my eyes out. I cried for that little 11-12 year old boy, I cried for the angst filled teen looking for redemption from horror that was not his fault, I cried for the young man that destroyed so much of himself because he couldn’t silence the trauma and yet couldn’t put words to it either. I cried for all of the survivors. I cried for myself and my traumas that I’ve never spoken of. I cried for the guilt I have for not speaking up and there being more victims because of my silence. Thank you Clark, thank you for your bravery to speak of the things we’ve been threatened and shamed into silence. Be well my dear.

He doesn’t sugar coat recover from addictions, sexual abuse, his personal demons, his family’s trials and tribulations, and his incarceration. He helped me realize better that there are good and bad times, ups and downs and we take each day to try and do better, be better, give to others in their struggles. I love how he answered when Mark asked him what was the most important lesson he had learned in his life - he said it so perfectly, and simply…Love. ❤

So inspiring Clark. Sorry for the loss of your brother

[@teresastephens3698]

I'm 60 years old now and just starting deal with my sexual abuse. Your Story was so empowering. Thank you

[@Anastasiapajarillo]

What a breath of fresh air! What a resilient, sentient and health oriented strong guy! If only we had more people like these in society. Hope he has more of a great life and good surprises 🌹🙏🏼🍀

[@kellycallen3195]

Thank you Clark for sharing not only your story, but how to make a strong foundation for yourself. We aren’t alone.

[@HLpC4495]

I just love this human. Clark, your story, your voice, courage and faith is so important to this world. You are an inspiration and you are needed. Thank you for sharing your advice and also to remind others that it never goes away completely, there are situations and times all the pain and anger resurfaces and it takes so much effort to regulate again. As you say, having a foundation to fall back on is everything. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, may he now be at peace. Thank God for you and God bless you. Please always remember how important you are. Best wishes to you and your girlfriend for a very happy life together.

I have seen soo many SWU interviews and for the first time I just have to comment on it - just saw first and the second interviews and oh my, Clark, thank you soo much for putting your heart in front of us and articulate your whole life in such an amazing way. I am soo touched but also inspired at the same time, your purpose in this world was obviously greater - to point out to those monsters, to stricten the legislature, to draw light to child abuse, to help some to speak up and some to recognize signs with their children. I am sending you a lot of love and hope that one day I will have a chance to shake your hand and hug you for a moment. ❤

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Wonderful message, thank you so much

[@kellyhealey7968]

His first video was the first swu video I ever saw. I was hooked, and now am obsessed with marks strong foothold in genuine angelic-like goodness. I can’t wait to hear this follow-up!

[@MG-zu4st]

Congratulations on moving in with your old flame, Clark. I'm so happy for you. I love your wise advice about creating a morning routine and foundation for life. I am trying to establish this for myself. Finally, thank you for your courage to speak out against the scourge of pedophilia that continues to destroy lives immeasurably. You are an inspiration for so many.

[@clarkfredericks3309]

My absolute pleasure

[@mikefry472]

Clark is just so inspirational. Love this guy

[@izzy0363]

I am so glad I came across your story, truly inspiring. The fact we do not all have the foundation and tools needed to deal with trauma certainly resonates. Thank you so much.

[@tokonio]

Clark I have deep deep respect for you. Your story is so dark but powerful. Keep fighting the good fight you are my hero 💪🏼

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Much appreciated

[@storm260]

Hey Clark, fellow bro/believer in Christ. God bless you man, thanks for sharing your testimony. It was encouraging, faith building, and God glorified. All the best bro, from Australasia

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Love you

[@candyce6233]

Your first video was a big one for me personally. I shared it with everyone I knew. Your story stayed with me for weeks. As soon as I saw you on the SWU notification I clicked immediately. ❤

[@Thestripper1]

The chains are not the problem it's the sound engineer who placed the mic wrong. Thank you for telling your story. It was very strong.

[@StardustMoneybags]

Thank you Clark for sharing … I needed this today. I had back to back physical accidents with concussions. Working out was my freedom …. Focused on my foundation, therapy and working out. Daily Wins! Brakes on from spiraling. Rereading Man’s search for meaning and The Power of Now because of you

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Damn, that is so awesome to hear. You got this

[@johnwyne3495]

One of my favorite guests. A true Class Act. Synchronicity is real if You are on the right side of God. Live well and God will provide.

[@TEM14411]

AMEN!!

[@baublesanddolls]

So glad that Clark told his story and brought some awareness to this topic. Too many keep it a secret, exactly how their predators want it!!!

[@maryramireztorres]

Clark ❤ Your story 😢 the first video moved me to tears seriously I had to stop driving pull over to the side of the road and look at your face as you told your story You have so much wisdom in you and what you have gone through would have utterly destroyed 99.9% of the population But you said something important in the first video and you kind of allude to it here. And that is FAITH and faith is something so intangible and it is completely a Grace I am truly sorry for everything that you’ve gone through. I’ll give you my most utmost respect and I also offer my condolences for the loss of your brother. As I was listening to this second part the follow up video and you were telling me about the seasons of life that is life. Nothing lasts forever ( well only one thing)… No bad thing last forever no good thing last forever and so we must be grateful for the moments life is exactly what you said it comes in seasons it comes in waves I am not joking when I started jumping up and down in my kitchen with glee to know that you are still together with your sweetheart. That you guys have weathered the most inexplicable horrific situation and I promise I’m going to pray for the two of you that you guys make it that you guys can find a level of happiness within one another because I believe that you deserve nothing less and neither does she… To see someone you love being so much pain and be unable to help them is like torture , I am very glad that you were able to find each other again. And on a side note Being a New Yorker I kind of like your chains lol 😂 that’s what’s up !! I hope that your story continues to illuminate the world to the darkness that is within our world and that this world can understand that the darkness does not last forever. ONLY LOVE DOES (Love is willing the good of the other, it is sacrificial) And so as I see in your videos that you like to have motivational phrases… I’ll leave you with this one i’m paraphrasing Dr. Martin Luther King: Hate cannot destroy the darkness only love can do that I cannot wait til your book comes out ❤ Dios te Bendiga!!!!!! And to Mark thank you for the work that you do this channel is life changing

[@maureenconsiglio6355]

Clark, you are more an Amazing person than you realize. You are very courageous in your ability to face your issues and your frank honesty. Thank you for the sharing of yourself

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Thank you for that Maureen

[@PippiLong1]

It is hard to find a spot to stop and find the way out. It's like trying to swim your way to the top. Your talk has helped so many people who needed to hear this. Adding how to move from this is so powerful. Thank you for sharing again with us and Mark. Do take care of yourself and keep "The Power of Positive Thinking". I read the book when I was 15. Happy for you and your Girlfriend!!! ..... coming from New York. 🗽

[@ipreferplants]

Much respect to Clark and his ability to so well articulate his story. Wishing you many more good seasons ahead ❤

[@yi-chunlai4195]

I can’t describe how much I appreciate you telling your stories. Although it’s two videos summarizing your life, I felt the energy and power and all the life lessons you’ve learned deeply with you. I wishes you, your family the best and I am looking forward to hearing you continue inspiring people around you.

[@LaGinGis]

I love how passionate he talks when he delivers the message to inspire others, straight from his heart, pure and sincere… sorry for your loss, and best wishes for your new chapter in NY with your sweetheart!

[@clarkfredericks3309]

Thanks for that

[@timscimeca978]

Hey Clark, great to see you again on here. Your interview was one I always will remember and what a survivor you are. I remember I left a comment and you responded. Which I was very excited you saw my comment. Your strength and survival will always be remembered by me. Hope to see you again on here. I'm a recovering drug addict myself. I've been clean for almost 4 years. From opiates. So I know how hard getting off drugs can be. But it was no surprise that you were able to get off drugs, knowing everything you've been thru in life. Love and respect from Stillwater, Oklahoma.

[@gilyp4205]

Dude your story is amazing, I can relate. I've fallen many times, blamed myself way to many times, Hell, still do! I'm a man of faith myself but I'm guilty to say, I've turned my back for a little bit on the most high. Just wanted to drop this comment in hopes that you would read this. You're an amazing person & are giving alot of tools through Mark's channel. Take care & God bless brother.

[@ThatMargaret]

When Clark speaks he reminds me of all of my Italian family up and down the coast, specifically Mass and New Jersey. 💕lots of pain back east, my parents took us to Colorado and start new in the 90s. Much love to you Clark, I get your passion!!

[@blairwaldorf-bass8180]

You’re always so amazing and inspiring to listen to. I’m so sorry for everything you went through recently 😞🤦🏼‍♀️ but you’re a warrior and you always get back up

[@rileym8346]

I watched part one for the first time last night, and wake up with part 2!! Inspirational for me who is trying to get into healthy habits and build a foundation. Will be reading your books you mentioned in part 1

[@melissamartinez3593]

Honestly Eckhart Tolle, Joe Dispenza are life changing plz do look into them ! This amazing man is proof anyone can b healed !

[@markfugasi4498]

Clark, I am a detective working child sex abuse. You are helping more people than you know with your talking. Stay strong.

[@clarkfredericks3309]

I appreciate that Mark, thanks

[@kennethobrien8439]

Clark, you are making me repeat myself…You, Sir, are an inspiration. Thank you for being the legend that you are. I wish you nothing but the best!
