      You know, I was actually thinking about his story for months... Then one day I thought : What if his father objective was to make him the toughest person he could be. Like... He wanted say to him "Look, son, no matter how hard you work, there will always be people who will treat you like shit". I mean, chances are slim, his father was probably a jerk. But if his objective was to raise a resilient kid, he succeeded. As Thomas said, all he knew was work

      No the father resented him from birth, that he had to provide for him. No doubt his own father was that way to him. You can't teach what you don't know and you can't give what you don't have. His father was, sadly an empty shell, hard and mean. His son finally found someone to teach him otherwise, and ran with it. The father never did, sadly.

No consideration to the fact that his work ethic was solely a cry for his father's love. The man had time to sit in the car but couldn't watch the hockey games.

I'm 24 and none of my parents have ever hit me (except once when she threw a Chancla at me because I was being a hurtful brat), so yes a lot of those neglectful parents had abusive ones but you always can be better than them but that requires work and not a lot of them want to do that.

The problem with millenials was the fact that they were raised with having a high self-esteem from participation trophies and etc. So now they don't know whats it's like to fail and are completely narsisitic. So again not trying to offend you here, but try to use self confidence from now on because your kinda apart of the problem in our future generation's success.

  • @foxbear60
    @foxbear60 3 года назад +2

    At some point in grad school, I had a professor talk about how the way we label negative behaviors will dictate how we view ourselves forever. One of the examples they used was about a child who takes something that doesn't belong to them. Instead of them developing the understanding of "I am a person who has stolen," they are taught to believe "I am a thief."
    Society teaches the person to label themselves with a permanent stamp. That then lingers as a factual belief in their minds, so it will be used to excuse their future behaviors. "I'm so sorry I stole again, it's who I am."
    Rock's story here is a perfect illustration of what that state of mind can do, but it's also proof that beliefs can be un-taught with the right support. Everyone should have at least ONE PERSON - friend, family member, counselor, doctor - whom they can turn to for support and feel is on their side. If you dont know who that person is for you, start sharing your story with people and see who responds; it only takes one good support to make all the difference.

    I think one of the biggest lessons any father hopes to teach his son is the importance and reward of hard work and how far it can take you. But do so in an uplifting manner. Sometimes there is a need for being stern, but it shouldn't overshadow encouragement. Belitting, degrading insults do absolutely nothing to "toughen up" kids from a young age, if anything it breeds resentment and anger which is counterproductive. Give discipline where it is needed, but always remind your son that he is loved.

      Check out the Personal Development School...it addresses the core wounds and helps with reprogramming. It helps so you can reset your subconscious and parent your child in a conscious way, so they have a secure attachment.
      It’s so powerful.

      Sounds like he was talking about my dad’s relationship with me up until I was about 25.
      I stopped paying so much attention to his abusive behavior about then. I told him in the kindest way that I just wouldn’t stick around and listen to it. No one should have to.
      Also he started respecting my personal space once I asked him to. I used to say, “give me an arms length please “. He was always a close talker and in my face. Funny how 6 feet back seems to be just what the doctor ordered these days. I’m 49 now and have what I call a pretty good relationship with him.

    Every child should listen to something like this as they grow up, as inspiration for what they can be, and every parent, to learn what not to be.
    If you're a parent, learn from this and do better. It's not about making your child's life too easy, because life isn't easy, but it is about rewarding effort, learning from failures, celebrating successes and showing that you care. One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time, and your approval. For all us kids (and at 42 I'm still a kid inside) this shows what putting in that effort can get you. Anything worth having is worth working hard for. The harder you work the sweeter the rewards. Also don't base your value on someone else's approval. Compete with yourself to be better today than you were yesterday.

He never came to any thing, was never there for the hard times and didn't help me when I was going thru depression. He didn't save me from suicidal thoughts. He's a piece of shit and I feel sorry for my mum.

    My Father was a very broken man. He was the toughest man I've ever known. He got that way; because his life was so hard. He had epilepsy when it was considered a mental disorder. He was sent to a hospital for the mentally insane on several occasions as a child. He was kicked out of school because of his seizures, yet was an amazing student. Had a sharp mind even into his final days. He wasn't able to drive and was never hired for a normal job. He worked odd jobs for anyone he could. For years, the only thing he lived for were my grandparents. Once they passed he had nothing to live for. Going to church and meeting my mother, I believe, saved his life. They had me when my dad was almost 60. He was not good at showing emotion and was very frugal with words of praise. I'd only seen him cry twice.
    As he grew closer to his death I'd learned a lot about how little love he'd received in his life. Even though my mother, brother, and I would tell him we loved him, he always had a bit of doubt that we meant it. He almost had the attitude that no one could genuinely love him. He was convinced that he was the reason I grew up with physical issues. I learned all of this from other people; because he never talked about what he'd been through. Towards the end of his life, I told him everything I had felt as a kid. I mentioned my frustrations about our lack of time spent playing together. I told him that I loved him and that it wasn't his fault for my physical conditions. After that conversation, we bonded as Father and Son for the first time in my life. As I said he wasn't emotional, but I knew he loved me. He started to say he loved me first, and expressed his pride in what I've done in my life. Once I learned to understand him better, and expressed it to him, our relationship became so much better. I'm very thankful we were able to become close at the end. I know, not everyone has that opportunity, so I realize I have reason to be grateful. I love him and miss him and Mom so dearly to this day.

    Lord, can I relate to this. My father committed suicide when I was four, and my mother was a narcissist and clinically depressed. She never once said, "I love you" or "I am proud of you." She was cold, critical, and broken. I thought my dad was in heaven watching over me, and I strove for perfection, trying to be a perfect daughter, ever seeking my mother's love and trying to make my dad proud. When I was 13, she said, "You are nothing and a nobody and no one will ever love you." I will go to my grave hearing those words, never once hearing "I love you." For years, I set about reprogramming my brain. Those who didn't know me probably thought I was the most conceited person in the world, but I felt like the smallest person on the planet. It's amazing the effect that broken parents have on a child. More amazing still is the resilience and strength of character that it can build if that child as an adult can overcome and rise above it. The cycle must be broken.

I only saw him once or twice before I was 10 and I can't even remember what he looked like. But when I was much older my mother, who is an amazing person, told me she left him because he was a drunk or had a major drinking problem. And he tried to come take me back one night when I was visiting my grandparents. He was clearly drunk and aggressive. So I feel now I was alot better off without my dad. But I still love him in an abstract way.

I decide who comes into my life nowadays, I decide how much I disclose about my life now to anyone. I choose who gets to walk along side me in life now. And if one day I decide to let my family back into my life, they will know my boundaries and they will respect them and I will demand respect from them. Or they will just get cut off, and not just them, anyone who passes my boundaries on purpose is not family/friend nor someone who has your best Interest. Keep sticking up for yourself.
