Rex Ogle on Growing Through Being Kicked Out of Home
Rex Ogle, author of Road Home, describes being forced from his home in Texas after his sister outed him to his dad.
His father gave him a choice: if you want to be a part of this family, you must be straight, go to church, see a therapist. If you want to be gay, you will no longer be a part of the family and will be cast out. Ogle is gay and said to his dad, 'this is me,' and his dad kicked him out.
Ogle spent the next three months dealing with homelessness and hunger. He went to New Orleans and contacted an older gentleman he had recently met and stayed with him for a while. Since Ogle had no money and nowhere to go, there was a power differential in the relationship. Things got shifty, b...

Thank You for sharing ... 💕
Good message. Respect
I am so very sorry for your loss!
I was compiling 9/11 memoirs and found this. It's earth day 2024. I thought of you.
This tragedy couldn't have happened to a sweeter woman. I couldn't even fathom losing my 2 girls. I give her SO much credit and praise! She's one amazing woman!!
Kudos to Ms. Jamison. Your story and courage are inspiring.
I'm sad this doesn't have more views or comments. It's important. I'd say asians suffer more oppression than blacks. And all of our bouncing back was self-made and earned. Always fight back. A lot of these westerns think you're weak. Step or get stepped on. Art can liberate you, conceal you, but always be ready. Always be armed. Why else would america value weapons, firearms, so much? Value the sword, the bullet, the word.
Saw you in Belfast 1978. Sorry to hear about all you have gone through.
Wow! God really helped you through this! ❤
Great recount of existing as an Asian North American person
Very good book. I enjoyed it
Saw you in Oxford in 80 and Bolton in 81. They were great days.
"He was a Running-Back in Chinese."
So He is a narcissist, right? My husband is a narcissist. If I try to leave him, he would probably dot he same. I have to wait until HE finds a poor new girl to trick. Then, he will be too distracted by her. And maybe he won't try to get half custody. He cabt have ANY custody. He's evil and he cabt and won't ever take care of the children if they're by themselves with him. I'm trapped.
Yes,and plan escape ,dont telll him nothing ,,call family friend ,lawer,social,anybody to help you,dont tell him till you move away ....good luck
@snezanavasilevska3586 I don't have any friends, and my family didn't believe me. Now they believe me, but they won't help. They say I just need a marriage counselor!!!? Nobody understands. They're too stup*d and naive to get what a narcissist is. I only had guy friends, and they def won't be able to help me and FOUR whole kids. When I started having kids, I didn't have time to do anything other than work and take care of them (especially since I'm doing it on my own. "Married single mother," they call it. When you do everything and the man does nothing.
Inspiring
I resonated so deeply with her words and advice. Truly grateful for people like this who are willing to share difficult experiences so candidly and earnestly...as well as exactly how they overcame it. It's these people who build a better world and make a true and lasting impact.
May Allah bless you dear sister ❤️ your children will surely be in paradise and that asshole will be rotting in hell
In his video on the black rifle coffee company YT channel he’s playing a song at the end on the guitar does anyone know the name of that song please?
You are an INCREDIBLE strong woman that deserves the world. Please consider EMDR or trauma therapy by a psychologists if you haven’t already.
Thank you for that. I’m from Massachusetts and just learning about your story. Hang in there and don’t give up. You keep the rest of us going! I lost my whole family in one day and 32 years later I’m still struggling. “It’s one day at a time.” Thank you and keep up the encouragement. “It means a lot for many people.” XO
Keith, thank you your encouraging comment. It sounds like you have your own experience to share. If you would you would consider telling your Grow Through It story, please contact us at gti@growthroughit.org. Thank you.
We could use an instructor like you at skate Town in roseville california, close to where I live.
💜
💕💕
anjum, you are such an amazing and strong woman
R.I.P. March 2022
A lot of people go through hell with no one. My hell wasnt as bad as yours but it still was horrific. I was alone.
It’s ok Anjum you do have the right to complain! What you went through is horrible. Your ex is evil. I know your daughters are very proud of you and waiting till you meet again👼👼🌹♥️
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤
I wonder what his daughter thinks of him now?
Thank you, Florence. I'm reading your book Heartbreak right now and am touched by your honesty, humor, compassion, and wisdom. Your journey is a gift to many.
Thank you 🙏 Much of our pain comes from our resistance. PS: The cat 🐈 is cute.
I’m sorry for your bad luck, because you were not there to harm the bear, but she was a momma protecting her cub. They are immensely powerful, and I’m usually the bear defender, as I still am in your case. If you frequent bear country often enough, you’ll meet a bear, unfortunately this one saw you as a threat. Considering the slaughter we bring on bears, it’s a miracle they don’t try to kill us more often !, I’m sorry for all you have suffered, but admire how you have turned your life into something so positive !
Wow. You have blown my mind dude!
Heard you on Teri Gross's show. Being a "dude" I don't have a lot of patience for chat about emotion, and I'm a loner too, but you did a great job of compartmentalizing your break-up and re-emergence with humor and intelligence.
Been there like your guts being ripped out. Only thing helped me to make it was Jesus Christ in me.
Really helpful! such good advice
thank goodness you’ve made it. 💙
13 demons gave this firefighter a thumbs down. What amazing character to survive this evil attack and share a positive message for us. God is good and I’m so glad you made it.
Strong words for a man whose been to hell and Back.No one knows the physical and psychological pain he went through.Thank you for your service.
You went through so much i feel ashamed to complain. Wow u are amazing i cried listening how you were amputated without anesthesia my heart couldn't take it may the LORD be with you always.
Can’t believe this guy got buried TWICE!!! This has got to be the strongest man I’ve EVER heard of !!!!!
Once again the United Nations stood by watched and did nothing . How have they never been disbanded . Not fit for purpose. Wast of money . A joke force .
How come I never heard this ! Wow
Steve! Buzzers are fave band ever and I wish you the greatest of luck,always <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Wow..thank you🙏
I love his admission of never taking vows seriously because he never thought he'd have to live up to them. How many of us do this? How many of us live to recommit like this man? Do it today.
Oh Steve, I had no idea that this had happened to you? I knew you had relocated to the USA, I Always worshipped you as a musician and a Man in Buzzcocks and 'The Teardrops' ,my first ever gig was Buzzcocks at Belle Vue Kings Hall, supported by The Fall, I saw them many times over the years with all the lineups (except Garth), I saw you all again at the 'Back to Front' gigs I Love Howard Devoto, and yes 'Garth Smith' Played on Orgasm Adddict. but 'YOU' completed the 'Classic line up ' of Buzzcocks with ; Pete, Steve and John! God Bless you Steve Garvey! Absolute legend of Manchester Punk/New Wave music! dx
When Tommy Macnamara gets the medical bill in the mail 🤨 God bless all emergency personnel that laid down their life during this tragedy.
