The Truth Of DaddyOFive | Real Mom Speaks out.

[@simplyvince1744]

"I can't do my work when everyone is talking" That's a legitimate thing. I'm an adult, in college, and I can't focus worth a damn if there are too many people talking. I tried to do homework in a dining hall once and literally got dizzy. It's not just an excuse... Poor kid...

[@simplyvince1744]

@@jaschanel8063 ODD has more to do with resisting authority and not liking that someone else is in control. It has nothing to do with inability to focus due to sensory overload. Also, I'm sorry, but ODD has become the new ADHD in that any kid who is acting out for any reason is suddenly labeled as having it. That's not to say that it isn't real, I'm sure it is. But maybe in some cases if a kid is resisting authority there's an actual real life reason outside of a disorder with very loose diagnostic criteria. For example a kid who has been abused by an authority figure (such as a parent) may have trouble trusting authority. That isn't a disorder, it's the symptoms of trauma. But again. Regardless it has no effect on his ability to focus. What he said was that he asked the teacher if he could work in the hall so that he could avoid the noise of people talking. That's a reasonable question (obviously depending on phrasing, but the concept is reasonable). Growing up, there were a few people I knew who would occasionally do that. Personally, at his age I didn't need to because I could basically just force myself to hyperfocus on my work and everything else just disappeared. In college I've found it a lot harder and I do actually have to go to quiet places to work. So everyone is affected by sensory input differently.

[@sarunokamisama6496]

Simply Vince they don’t even have to be talking tbh. Just being in a classroom with so many people is distracting to me. I thought I had it rough with my military father, but this is just sad.

[@thedrunkenramblingsnorthea4201]

there was many videos where Cody would turn to his homework in fear and in some way to escape the torture they were going to inflict which he saw coming. He would always try desperately to use his homework as an excuse. Im so mad again rn remembering this

[@cinderheartmeow6032]

Danny Buoy - ADHD often runs alongside ODD specifically because those who have ADHD think and process emotional information differently. For some people who have ADHD this difference in development can lead to both hypersensitivity or emotional detachment. I have ADHD myself I am currently receiving treatment for it, but I have been born into a family of drug dealers/addicts, murders, narcissists, psychopaths, and somewhat religious extremists. That combination genetically and environmentally was unhealthy for me and all of my family members. I can’t lay out the whole situation here but I can say that I don’t trust anyone emotionally or physically, I hate being in the presence of large groups of people (like at family gatherings) because I feel like everyone who claims to care about me or support me is lying no matter what (it’s a weird paranoid thing that is fading with time), I still have large gaps in memory that are just gone or blacked out, I have some memories that I only start to remember or that just pop up whenever something similar to that specific memory happens and my mind apparently decides the time is right for some emotional dust to be disturbed, I become defensive when people press on or question my emotions and reactions to stress, I space out when some topics are brought up (hearing without listening or comprehending the words or meaning of the conversation), it continues to be hard to explain or defend my actions because it makes me feel emotionally venerable and that is not something i’m willing to be around people I don’t know are trustworthy, it’s hard to empathize with people due to emotional blocking a defensive mechanism for those who have been subject to constant verbal abuse, it’s hard to experience emotions at all due to an innate fear of being judged or mocked for having normal emotional reactions and on the other hand taking words too seriously or crying for absolutely no reason other than to let out the emotional buildup. These issues are all the result of the extreme bullying at school and neglect at home I experienced when I was young and although i’m working on sorting out my issues and becoming a better person not every kid has the opportunity to get away from those situations. In this way I empathize with Cody and his sister because I know what it’s like to feel so emotional and yet so powerless to stop the verbal and physical barrages. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cody blamed himself for everything, especially considering the way that Cody’s father constantly told Cody that all of the chaos, physical abuse, and mental abuse is Cody’s fault. Cody probably still looked up to his dad to some extent and I wouldn’t doubt that, after a while of hearing his dad say that everything is all his fault, Cody himself would start to believe that and may have blamed himself for all of the actions taken against him. I know this comment seems vague but describing the memories I have of that period of time is difficult even after four years of being out of that bad situation, and I guess the anonymity of a site like this one is the only real reason I feel comfortable with disclosing anything at all.

I checked out a few channels that are literally begging for DOF to take their videos off of private and most of them are children (probably not even 10 years of age) who upload their own videos. The rest are very barren accounts that only folllow DOF content, which means they're most likely sock-puppets. That aside, I don't get how children find those videos funny.

Cody is going to have serious problems with forming meaningful relationships, and it's absolutely horrifying to watch.

His father and stepmother spend so many of his formative years telling him that his preferences don't matter, his emotional responses make him a bad person, and that nobody in the world cares about his suffering. I hope that Cody's mother is getting him quality therapy and I hope his father pays for it, because this kind of treatment is scarring.

Not horrifically wrong, but doing basic mistakes that every kid in a certain family makes. And my parents NEVER manipulate me to do something wrong to get awesome rewards or some crap like that. In my family, my mom always says to me when you make good choices, you get good results and when you make bad choices you make bad results. These parents never see that.

This is horrific. I’m in school for elementary education. These kids are fine. Cody looks like a good kid. He’s being so horribly abused. He looks like a kid who could flourish in a good environment. I’ve seen kids like him. The second they learn that people care about them and listen to them, they transform. It breaks my heart that he’s being treated this way. Imagine if someone would treat him like a person. The dad is so immature and hurtful. I’ve seen kids hurt like them. None of them deserve it. No one deserves that.

[@milasstudio409]

The fact that the so called “father” threatened his child to sleep in the hallway if he doesn’t put on a shirt he doesn’t want to put on is ridiculous, this is no way of discipline it is just GROWN adults being petty to what looks to be a 6-7 year old. And the behavior toward the child is horrible in general, even the pranks are cruel and usually end up becoming violent due to the dad extending it, such as, brothers bullying, punching, kicking, smacking and even slamming by the dad at some point. I’m truly hoping the mother gets custody of her children bc the way those “parents” yell at the kids is so ridiculous and sad and by the kids expressions it seems like they do it all the time!

After growing up the way that I did, I know 100% how not to treat my children. If my child has something to say I will listen, I don't need to raise my voice, my voice is already louder because of my authority, I don't need to intimidate my child with fear, they should be able to talk to me and laugh with me. I'm glad this man was shut down.

[@MenaceTheMary]

It bothered me a whole lot: the school doesn't revolve around you, the world doesn't revolve around you. As his dad you MAKE it revolve around him. These are formative years and school is there for him, not the other way around. In a job you work for your boss, in a school the teachers work for you and because of you so if they need to take extra steps just to get you through they should have to. I was a very "bad" kid when I was younger because I had undiagnosed adhd which would cause me to do things that irritated my teachers. My mom got me an IEP and I was sent to a specialized class and put on meds where instead of trying to avoid me like my other homeroom teachers they were actually trained to help. As a parent you do what you need to to make sure your kid can be the best they can be.

[@wickedashley]

Social worker here. I live in Tennessee, but I’m just gonna give some insight as to why children are left in abusive homes. It INFURIATES me and I promise that most social workers disagrees with a lot of laws in place. Myself and other social workers are working to change the laws, but it’s a long process. However, children are often left in abusive situations because the parents are often court ordered to do parenting classes, thus they leave the children in the home on the promise of attending parenting classes. There is also a shortage of good foster homes and shelters for them to go into. The system is broken and the children are the ones who suffer. I hope that one day it can be changed, but as of now preserving the family is the main goal of social services.

[@cmmuse]

one of the biggest key term towards Cody is that he says "I should be decorating with my family, but instead i'm dealing with you." Okay, let's just walk through that. Cody doesn't want to wear a shirt? fine. But seriously? That term is so isolating. "My family." Like Cody is a nuisance, which is untrue!

I hope Rose and his real family see this too and encourage him to keep up with his talents and smarts, he really is very special and I'm glad he has a chance to flourish now.

[@Ami_E_Bowen]

I hate hate hate DaddyOFive. What Cody and Emma went through reminds me of my own childhood where our stepfather abused my younger brother and I by playing “jokes” like threatening to spank us and going so far as to making us take off our pants and underwear and bend over to be hit with a plastic baseball bat and right when we are both sobbing in fear, (getting spanked like that was common so our fear was not unfounded), laugh and say “Just fucking with you!” And we would also be forced to fight each other where the kid with the “best finishing move” like kicking the other into a wooden dresser, got a prize or a treat or praised. Of course our stepdad favored his own kids and we, my brother and I, would get into trouble if we told our mom what was going on while she was at work. She worked graveyard shift as a nurse and was gone all night and slept all day leaving the house and childcare up to our stepfather. One incident that sticks out the most in my memory is a time we made cookies and everyone got some except me. I don’t remember if my brother got any or not. As a six or seven year old this was the most unfair thing in the world and when our mother called from work to check in I was the one that got to the phone first and I told her about it in tears. Fast forward to later that night as I’m being woken from a sound sleep by being yanked out of bed and shaken violently until I woke up while being screamed at by my stepdad for “going behind his back to get his kids in trouble.” In my adult life I’ve dealt with addiction and mental health issues and my brother is no longer with us as he killed himself in 2008. I know he was diagnosed as schizophrenic but I would bet how he was treated as a kid had just as much to do with his problems as an adult which included drug addiction and mental health issues. The only difference between what my sibling and I went through and what Cody and Emma went through was we didn’t have a camera pointed at us because this was before the internet was a thing. I really feel for those kids and those evil fucks should be under the jail.

A child acting out with feces is one of the biggest red flags of physical and emotional abuse. I have 3 step children and I did everything I could to show them I was an ally and a friend. I never disciplined them myself. That was their dad's job. There are lines you never cross as a step parent.

I had a difficult family and my mother and step father really didn't catch what place the stepfather is supposed to take in the family, what he can or can't do. It was indeed very difficult to live. Every family is different, what the stepparent can or can't do depend on the family situation, but it's true, there are things the parents must do and the stepparents shouldn't do.

[@morningstar4873]

Forcing a child to wear is teaching them that they have no control over their own bodies. You are their parent not their fcking owner. You do NOT force them to wear, or alter their bodies in ANY way. This is psychological abuse. This is telling the child that his/her opinion doesn't matter and will lead to a traumatized adult who will either disregard his own health and opinion or do the same things to others. Hopefully, it's not too late for him to grow with a healthy mindset.

[@morningstar4873]

@Bersa Brie I never had someone tell me what to wear. If you sexualize your kids is no wonder they sexualize themselves. Depends on how old they are but at 16 you can do nothing about what they choose to wear. Kids will have their phases, restricting them will only result in them acting out and doing it behind your back anyway. I rather have a kid that is in a phase but tells me everything rather than a kid who is going through a phase behind my back. It's always good to communicate with teenagers rather than restricting them, creates a healthier bond and a safer environment for the kid.

[@morningstar4873]

@Bersa Brie I used to wear really revealing clothes but I didnt do it to be 'sexy' it was just comfortable wearing shorts and little clothing (my country goes uo to 50 degrees celsius in the summer). I didnt mean you specifically sexualize your kid, but restricting a kid from wearing anything is as though you do. I never had my parents treat me as though I'm a slut cuz that was never my intention. I think raising your kid to know better than to conform is a lot easier than trying to fight them when they grow up.

[@morningstar4873]

@Bersa Brie your kid's still young, be her friend more than her parent (but discipline is still necessary as you probs know already)

[@morningstar4873]

@Bersa Brie I'm not attacking you xD don't worry I don't feel attacked.d That's why I told you about conformity. Teenagers do what they do just to feel accepted by their friend group a lot of times, so teach your child beforehand to not do that. I don't recommend projecting it to your child, and I do recommend seeking professional help, it's never too late to help yourself. To me communication and guidance is far more important than restriction and punishment when it comes to raising a child. Make sure you raise a mature human being who doesn't care about what anyone else says, and is comfortable in her own skin no matter how you felt/feel. I'm sure you don't want the same for your daughter, I understand it must have been really hard for you but there is a greek phrase which basically means "for whoever doesn't like me, I shouldn't even try" so it's a good phrase to tell yourself.

[@morningstar4873]

@Bersa Brie your kid's still young, if she doesnt want to wear something she'll cry and complain and you'll know. But as long as she is young it's not an issue, the issue is choosing clothes for someone who is 7 or older. Bu that time they should decide for themselves (about clothes) and you can force them to wear a jacket/coat. Then, teens are hard to control so I wouldnt even try and I wouldnt recommend it.

[@Monica-zt8yo]

This is what my entire childhood was like I'm now getting help for problems ranging from slight social awkwardness to doing really horrible things when i'm having a breakdown triggered by the pain of being abused.

[@blasphemygalaxy]
