[@judsonjohnson6872]

I grew up with your dad. First day of school in 7th grade. , Pete and I were at the back of the lunchline, and both grabbed the last pack of peanut butter cookies at the same time, we went to the ground battling over those cookies. Neither one of us got them, and ended up getting licks in the principals office. We were best friends after that. Remember the good times bro.

[@Sifuthc]

Every time I hear this man sit down and speak his mind the level or respect and administration I have for him grows. Thank you Struggle for sharing your intimate thoughts and parts of your life that are private with us. I am very happy you found closure in such a situation, it really shows how far you have come in your spiritual battle with your enter turmoils and walk of life.

[@rollinghillstrucking]

With tears in your eyes struggle you did an amazing interview here! Overcoming the hurt to tell your story! I love you bubba

[@jackburmingham6716]

Thats why she was always there for him. It was out of guilt.

[@Kent-vv9pz]

I do t think I’d call it guilt it was paying her debt to his father from the way he explained baby she didn’t feel an ounce of guilt plus guilt would’ve made her distance herself from him she wouldn’t be able to look him in the eyes

[@pureogkush4207]

So she didn't actually live him it was all guilt

[@charlibaltimore7641]

I don't think it was guilt. She may have regretted what she did but, he didn't describe a woman who lived with guilt. Guilt also doesn't enforce love and what she felt for Struggle was definitely love, don't take that away from him. Her regret wasn't for Struggle, it was for what she did to his dad, isn't about Struggle. I'm impressed with his ability to forgive, I'd be pissed if no one told me why. God bless you Struggle.

[@shanasmith4176]

Not just guilt but love too

[@laurarobbins7795]

Your dad was always one of my faves. Glad to see you putting out some music to

[@PK-bh1ww]

His Dad? I think you are confused about who his Dad is. It's not WAYLON Jennings. Struggle's Mother is Jenny Eddy Jennings Harness and she is WAYLON's "stepdaughter." So that makes Struggle the step grandson of WAYLON. Jessie Colter had Jenny by Duane Eddy before she married WAYLON. Jenny took the Jennings last name. Now Struggle uses the Jennings last name. His real Father's last name was "Harness".

[@patbrown463]

[@josephwebb7220]

Thanks for all your efforts mr JENNINGS. you sir are helping the world

[@PK-bh1ww]

Actually it's HARNESS. But he uses the name Jennings because his Mother was the step daughter of Waylon Jennings. Her Father and his bio grandfather is Duane Eddy. He was famous in the 60's R & R genre. And played some great guitar music. And is still alive at age 83. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4jdgYiVpZx8bck The family is loaded with musical talent.

[@FREEDOMGUNNER]

Why doesn't he ask his uncle why? He already spilled the beans on Baby Baby, might as well get the full story.

[@joemema7254]

cuzins knew why too

[@DTA707]

Very sad childhood. The trajectory of one’s life is very much dictated by the time and place life begins. Many are born into poor families by the mere coincidence of genetics and geography.

Being poor isn’t the problem. Ignoring, abusing, grooming etc children can happen in any household. My very good friend had very poor parents but they helped him with every problem he had growing up and were really there for him and he is a doctor today. Plenty of kids come from money and they are completely fkd up
