Mr. Peterson I lost my father 24 years ago the 20th of August. I never learn to forgive him and understand why he let his addiction destroy him. Now I’m a single dad to two boys 9&3 watching their mother struggling with the same fight. I did everything I thought was the right thing I’ve worked hard and always put others first only to feel broken. Your content helps me realize i was raised by weak minded people who allowed the opinion of others to dictate the way they lived. I feel like I’ve had an outside looking in pov of life feeling like I never existed. 🇺🇸✊🏼

Dr Peterson, I wish I could support you when you need it.

When I got the call at 6 am that my father passed and I had to go identify the body and console his girlfriend and wait for the funeral home to come and it was a small woman in a dodge caravan and I had to pick up his body and put it on a gurney and load his body into a dodge caravan and I told him I was proud when I closed his eyes because I knew how hard his life was and that he didn't kill himself. I didn't cry or even feel bad for myself I felt bad for his girlfriend cause it was going to impact her everyday life.

[@eistran2347]

Growing up I always viewed my father as emotionless. I have never seen him cry or shed a single tear. I have heard from my family that he didn’t even cry at his dad’s funeral. One day I mustered the courage to ask him why he didn’t cry when his father who he was very close with passed away. He said “everyone around me is falling apart, I needed to be the wall so everyone can lean on. If I fall, who will they lean on?”. From that moment on I realised that through all those tough times my dad deep down suffered alone for the sake of others and it broke me.

[@moonwalker-i8f]

My Dad and I aren't as close... mentally, emotionally and physically. I still respect him as much because of who he is and the few things he tries to teach me now and then. While he is around, I will shoulder his burden and when he is gone. I will still shoulder his burden.

He has just poor self respect and wants to help others for the burden to suffering himself which is the illusion of society. Suffering so others don’t which is why so many people suffer. Endless nonsense. Pain is only physical so if I break your leg you feel pain. Suffering is emotional and it’s chosen and this man simply choses to suffer which by itself is a lack of self respect.

Man, this hit me hard, my Mother was hit by a truck that ran through a road work area while my mom was flagging traffic, she was pulled out of the way by a guy that saw what was happening just in time for it to hit her arm in a way that’s caused nerve damage and countless other issues over the years. I was in first grade when that happened, I’m 28 now and have been taking care of her my whole life, my grandparents were my rocks, born on my grandmothers birthday and named after my grandfather, he told me that it was going to be very hard and unfair but it was my responsibility to make sure my mother was taken care of. I still have my father in my life but once my grandparents passed he would kind of start taking advantage of the fact that I was always there for everyone and asking me to do things that were unnecessary. I’ll never forget one time he was having hard time with something and with tears in his eyes his asked me for help, I do feel bad for what I said to him but it needed to be said, “I’ll always love you pops, but I want you to remember this, all the times I cried alone, asking God to help me for all these years when it was just me, all I had was my dog while I was a kid taking care of it all” to this day he apologizes, and to this day I still have the loyalty of my dogs, they’ve never let me down, there for me when I was too young to understand that what I went through most grown men couldn’t handle. I’m thankful for that struggle and suffering, it’s made me stay calm no matter the situation. You’re not alone, even in the darkest times remember that there’s always someone else who’s in a similar situation. I’m extremely sorry to hear about your loss, and I’m sorry you had to do it alone, but know this, we are able to deal with things that most never could.

I was 12 at my father’s funeral. I never considered it a generational transition, but I knew I had to be a rock for my mom. I feel like I’ve silently suffered alone ever since.

[@Kaiser0hmega]

Relatable. I grew up in a household where my parents were divorced before I had any real memories of my mother. My grandmother from my father's side stepped up to fulfill that role instead. So when she passed, I had to be the strongest person on the funeral. I had to be the pillar of strength for my father, because he lost his mother. But nobody was there for me, so I had to silently suffer alone because I lost my mother as well..

[@Opportunities88]

[@JohnDoe-rc3qu]

Man God bless y'all in Jesus name Amen 😢 Thanks for sharing your pain, now you guys lost your dads but imagine having a dad in your life and never really being able to figure him out, to get his walls to come down at least for YOU! To be your friend as well as let you in his life and feeling like you only had a part time dad. It's one thing to never have one and my dad lost his when he was 8 and the devil used that misfortune to affect mine and our relationship! The moral of the story is that the only Father we have truly I tell you is GOD! But we don't seem to want the only Father who never dies, who lifts us up when we fall, who let's us into his life, the only one who dresses us up with a crown and rejoices when we turn back on the path like the progidal son! We don't have to be tough, we have to realize that nothing dies and that we will be together one day and the devil won't touch us anymore, only through the king of course, Jesus Christ! God bless y'all ❤

I struggle to write down my feelings about this. My father died 12 years ago and today as a man in my 30s I desperately wish could have been stronger for my sisters or mother during such a time. I was still young immature and not as strong of a man as I should have been. I wrote a speech yet I struggled to even get the words out during my father’s funeral. I wish so desperately to have been a better man at that time for my mother and sisters to at least lessen their burdens even a little but I was spoiled with a blessed life with a wonderful father mother and sisters.

You lost your father and you were understandably grieving, I think stereotypes on men to be 'strong' is so unfair and what's wrong with society, yes men and women being strong is great but at a time where you've lost one of the most important people in your life, then no, cry, be vulnerable, be upset because you're human and loss is a insane thing to process, particularly as a teenager. I was a teen when we lost my brother, I remember it was the first time I seen my dad cry, and although I was shocked cause I never seen my dad like this, it just highlighted the seriousness of everything, I would much rather my dad would have conveyed his true emotions than feel he had to hide them from us, he demonstrated its okay to grieve and be vulnerable

[@alexe8330]

Coming up on the 4 year anniversary of my dad passing. His funeral was on Halloween 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. Some of his own siblings couldn't attend due to Covid. The one bright side is our church allowed us to film it. My eulogy to my father was singing one of our favorite songs, The Gift You Are by John Denver. A lover of karaoke my entire adult life, it was the only time I'd been so nervous I almost couldn't perform. But I'm proud to say that, when my time came, I took to the podium, and not only sang the entire song, but managed to get a laugh out of the crowd before the song started. One of my most cherished memories

I lost my father. At a 500 plus funeral. I’m the one that did not cry or show pain, until I had gone and by my self at the stroke of midnight, after the police came knocking on my door saying that I was reported missing from many people. Then I lost my eyes with the biggest waterfall running down my jaw line. I thought I was not caring or showing emotion. But realising that my father made a real man out of me.!! My message to all men and women that have lost someone close to your heart. If you don’t emotion, when everyone else is. No issues. You are a strong person. Like a lion or lioness in jungle showing class and self power in the heart that you can be there for anyone and still with your pain.! ❤️💯❤️

I was 16 years old exactly one week before my 17th birthday when I lost my dad. My dad was my best friend. We worked together on my summer breaks from school and We did everything together… When I was very young I remember going to my dad’s mom’s funeral. Everyone there was crying. Everyone but my dad. My dad didn’t cry And I saw this and thought how strong my dad was but I was confused about why he wasn’t upset. It wasn’t till he passed away that it made sense to me why he didn’t show emotion. He was being strong for everyone else. He held it in… When my dad passed I didn’t cry at the funeral or viewing that ended up taking place on my birthday a week later. I tried to be strong for my sister and brothers. It went full circle. I felt like I knew what I had to do to be strong for my family. It wasn’t till I went home and was alone that I let myself cry. I cried all night.

People always wonder why Peterson cries so often when he talks about strength, whether mentally or physically. You have to remember he spent decades helping a lot of people, working in hospital with suicidal, bipolar, and more generally, destroyed lives. He accumulated that for years, it takes a bit of yourself away, when you see such sad lives playing out for people.

So sorry to hear that for you. Thoughts and prayers

[@drunkfisherman2136]

I’m sorry bros

[@MaryComba]

This man is overflowing with such amazing, deep & profound wisdom. Appreciate his verbal fluency. He makes complex principles much easier to understand. What a heart!!! RESPECT!

[@ES-bi1hq]

The hardest thing a man can ever do is be a real man. It’s a lifetime commitment. It’s not about pride or superiority… it’s about love and caring for those you love by providing them a safe environment to live happily. It’s about teaching others by example and being the person they need when they are in need. 🫡Respect to all real men 🫡 Respect to all real fathers.

[@SlappinCheeks]

Absolutely 100 percent. Well said.

[@piedaddelsolarvaldes9136]

I lost mine. I was the strong person at his funeral

[@christopherc6157]

[@Jagpreet-sj1fx]

U got this

[@Angelo-i1k]

Make you're dad proud and good luck

[@chibuikeernest7491]

😢 stay strong chief

[@thelastofitskind3034]

Don't confuse being strong with not caring at all they both almost the same

[@lexbustamante757]

I did the same when my old passed. I held my mother reassuring her I was and would be there for her. I guided my younger brother. I thanked those who came to pay respects to him. In side I was a wreck, only months later did I allow myself to fall apart after all was settled and laid to rest. I had to become the shelter in the storm, how I felt and what I thought mattered not, I did my duty as best I could I took over the watch and I’m trying my best. He once told me the shelter takes all that is thrown at it to protect the ones inside. I hope to withstand just as good as he did. Miss you old man, you are never forgotten, but always missed.

Yes I is a necessary trait of being a man and taking responsibility, we exist to absorb energy and be a radiation of hope and strength

[@rubenmejia425]

I'm not the oldest. But I'm looked to the greatest upon my siblings. I've lost my baby and oldest brother. I've prayed that when my dad's day come. I able to be what they all see. I ask to be what they all preserve and an anchor for them to hold onto. Please GOD. LET ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESIGNED

[@dumbreacts333]

Ty Dr. You are an inspiration. Your constant forward movement in the face of adversity of the highest levels is admirable, sir. 🤝

[@RobinsonRobert-c7y]

You won't believe how much I love my father

[@S.E.S.SoldierOfDemocracy]

Me too man

[@AlanBridge-x1m]

All of your words I have been privileged enough to read or hear evokes long forgotten precious teachings and memories of my childhood. They never fail to reinforce the morals , ethics and values that carry me when I think I’ve nothing left. May the universe grant me an opportunity to shake your hand and respectfully thank you in person. My efforts here are but a shadow of conveyance , compared to my actual gratitude dear sir

[@wilfredjohn878]

😢 As an African, it wasn't easy but was expected of me. I swallowed my sorrow and be the man.

[@mark598]

I didn’t hear this till after my mother’s funeral but as it played that’s what I was trying to do then. First time I have had a tear in my eye listening to this since her funeral in February.

[@enazcrainial7677]

"Strongest person at you father's funeral" dam that's deep

[@kel6385]

I feel you, J P. ❤ You're a great man x

[@ChrisavelliOCE]

I was 15… I was probably the weakest in the whole place didn’t even want to stand up and say words. I’ll forever regret that

[@onimendez7735]

Please try to give yourself grace, you were a child. Wishing you much sweet serenity.

[@tonik8179]

Dont be so hard on yourself ❤

[@goranowski]

if you were 15 its no shame bro

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]

It will help you when you have opportunities in the future, if you allow it to move you instead of hold you back. You KNOW what happens when you don't take opportunities. Let's step over that like we step over potholes and legos, what do you say?

[@demitrisk2311]

This reminds me so much of my grandpa hes lost so much of his family but never cries only talks about the good times.

[@arnoldchristopher4079]

Sir you gave me clarity when I was lost! !!!

[@Perfectlybad]

Very powerful message. Shows you can handle the transition well and probably even better than your farther.

[@ClaudioBallvePini]

It's a hard pill to swallow

[@davidfaulkner7456]

Your greatest reward in life Jordan you truly made a difference in so many people life's a reward so few in life truly obtain

[@BigChungus378]

Fellas...You don't need to be the strong one at anyone's funeral... it's ok to not be ok.

[@Arthog627]

Missed the point.

[@yog7122]

You absolutely should be selfless enough to be strong for your family

[@lucasoal9449]

I lost my mom and God made me stone at her funeral. It hearted so much seeing my dad, my brother and my sister crying during at that time. I was the only one showing peace of mind and telling them that everything would be ok. Our lovely mom is with god now ❤

[@JasonHarding-e9w]

Love you real Brother

[@alanehler3729]

Mr Peterson is a man who is needed in this time. A great thinker, who should be given respect he is greatly due

[@danielcrowder8572]

His passion to help people is so great. You can see his emotions behind it

[@BriKel8524]

What a beautiful human

[@victorhorbowiec9046]

My father recently passed and I have seen this clip before. Family and friends complemented me for being so strong. Speeching and looking into the crowd. No words on paper, but spoke from the heart. I felt powerless and powerful at the same time it gave me comfort and being there for others honouring my father. Most difficult time of my life, but that purpose held me together. Always thought I would not have to deal with this, this early in my life. Life is hard and cruel, but that also showed me how blessed I was with my father. And those memories and the person I became because of him. I will always carry with me. Love you Dad!!!

[@laurafrank7768]

I love when Jordan gets emotional when he talks. It gives me such comfort knowing how willing he is to be vulnerable in public that I can believe what he is saying without any doubt. He truly is a man of God. ❤❤❤
