Wayne's story is so real. One tragic event as a child was life altering for him as with so many others. I've noticed this pattern with some of the other interviews on this channel. Wayne, you are going to be fine moving forward because you learned an important lesson...Believe in yourself. I learned some things listening to you.

I hardly ever comment on these videos. I am more of a “ghost watcher”, but Wayne’s story really touched a special part of my heart. Wayne is a very well spoken man. You can just hear the hurt in the soft way he speaks. I wish I can go back and hug “kid Wayne”. So much pain he went through as a child. As a parent, we are supposed to protect our kids. I cannot imagine what his little heart felt going through all of these emotions and tragedies alone. I pray he finds peace in his life. 🤍 Btw- Even after his rough life, he looks amazing for his age. We are all rooting for you, Mr. Wayne!

[@CassieBee88]

Child abuse (more specifically child molestation, but not limited to) is like murdering their victims. Murdering their innocence, their hopes and their dreams, and leaving them an empty shell filled with guilt and shame. It has an everlasting affect on their psyche, their being and their relationships (sometimes the lack thereof, of the latter). It is despicable. The path that Wayne took is so very normal. It’s a symptom of the problem. The man Wayne is today is truly a success story. Wayne, you’re a beautiful person. I am in awe of the man you became. They were trying to prevent that. Trying to prevent the strong, forgiving, gentle man you are. The place you are at in your life is solely because of you and your drive, and I find nothing more admirable than that.

Very moving interview. He talked of his past and how it relates to his life path with a sincere heart and clarity, i find it to be very motivational. Learning to self reflect is very difficult. by speaking the truth, not just HIS truth, gives him the power he needs to overcome. And by speakingly so eloquently, so candidly, i think gives all of us a bit of power too. So many of us out here in the world dont give a second thought to how spirituality can reshape meaning in our lives. I have faith he will work his 12 step program and perhaps even grow to become an excellent sponsor to those in need of guidance. Forgiveness starts with self. We dont judge you Wayne, only God can.

This one was one of the hardest. Because my ex husband was molested and never told his mom and his mom thought he was basically crazy because of how he acted. He self medicates to this day and just could not get help for the trauma because it was too much for him. I HATE whoever it was did that to him. I don’t know the person- never met them (it wasn’t family). They’re a huge reason we didn’t make it- marriage wise. I hate that boys being molested is much less talked about than girls. I hate that likely feeling like they needed to be “strong” is why they never said anything. Watching this man cry about his mom made my heart literally hurt. He is too pure. There’s so much pain. He never, ever deserved what his dad did. It disgusts me that a father would do that to their son. I wish I could hug Wayne and tell him that he is no less due to what happened to him. I believe in him and I believe he can get sober. I’m also a recovering addict so in that aspect I also relate to. It’s so often that we self medicate to forget, numb, ignore, and cope with trauma we endured especially in our youth. Wayne- if you’re reading this. I believe in you! You are worth it. Take it one day at a time. Forgive yourself and reclaim the remainder of your life ❤ sending him so much love and hope. He is an excellent teller of his story and you can tell he’s very intelligent- he’s just in emotional pain.

This has to be the best interview you've done so far 💓. I've never resonated with someone's words so much, the middle of the interview till the end felt like something I've always wanted to hear myself say out loud but never had the self love to do so. Thank you Mark and Wayne for opening my eyes to my current way of living, and how you truly do need to figure out how to remove yourself out of your way so you can be the person you are truly meant to be. Such a wonderful thing to hear, experience, and feel 🙌

@@wesleyalan9179 your hair is getting long old man!lol! Cherish it while you can, as soon as my daughter was born the hair lose began. She's 17 now so you can imagine there ain't much left, lol. But I'm way past giving a shit what my hair situation is. I just grew a long goatee. Pretty soon I can do a comb under,,,, my chin and up the back of my head. It will look AWESOME!!!!!!!

Seeing how free you felt by the end of the interview genuinely made me happy Wayne. Thank you for sharing your story.

Congratulations Wayne on your sobriety and everyone else in this comment section that is sober. I have been sober for 5 years so I get it. Keep up the good work, that not only goes to Wayne but to everyone reading.

How anyone could do that your own son (let alone a child) is bizarre to me. How could u do something so evil? This is a godless world.
