    The fact that you exist, Boogie, is a testament to the fact that while the impact of what is wrong and evil may remain, you can still be a light in the world. You, Boogie, are one of the brightest.

      People know males can be abused but because we're supposed to be the "alpha" gender, people think you're not a man if a woman can hurt you and control you

    i'm 21 and grew up in a horribly abusive home. i moved out at 18 only to be abused by an ex boyfriend. i'm living with my parents once again because i had to get away from my boyfriend who terrorized me. no one helped me growing up. child protective services, teachers, counselors, therapists, police officers, other family, etc all told my parents to hit me more and thought i deserved it. now i'm 21 and still in the same situation with no job because i am disabled (w fibro which most ppl who have it were abused and i have multiple mental health issues now). everything i've gone through is really bad and it's still bad. everyone has hurt me tbh.
    i don't understand how people just watched as you were being hurt and watched as i was too!

    I was emotionally, physically mentally abused for 8 years. When I was 5 my mom developed a drug addiction and my dad became abusive.
    We became so poor that we barely got food on the table every night. I developed severe depression, severe anxiety, and OCD at the age of 10. Only 10. Now I'm 13 and living with my grandparents, and I'm just getting help.

    There really should be something more than a like button, don't you think? That was the bravest thing I've seen in probably forever frankly.
    My kid (13) is doing a school assignment - a talk - where in part he has to define Greatness. His definition was of one who not only achieved something for/in themself, but where that person also motivated and helped others to do the same. He needs to reference people and situations that example the definition, and discuss why.
    One of the people I discussed with him ... was you, Boogie.

      +RolandRED Seriously. Look I normally like to stay away from using harsh language and talking badly to another human even if they do it to someone else but fuck off. This man has had horrible trauma and had his family literally come close to killing him multiple times and your sitting here insulting him. Fuck. Off. I don't know how you manage to sleep at night knowing that you insult people who contemplate suicide. That's the type of thing that kills people. You may not hold the dagger but when you say things like this to people who go through or are currently going through this your the murderer nonetheless. I realize that things are better for Boogie now and that hes learned to brush off hate but think of if you had said this sort of thing to someone else who wasn't immune after they confessed something like this to you. You are simply just a horrible person.

    I know this video is old, but I can't keep myself from commenting... All that you said here makes me see how strong you are, I doubt that if something of that sort happened to me I would never be in the spot you are right now. You may have all the problems you have, but you are better then someone that hears your story could possibly think you would be. And thinking of all the children that are suffering from the same kind of abbuse right now, and nobody helping just makes me even more sad. You will probably never read this, because of my timing, but anyways, you are incredible.

Boogie, you're an incredible person & going through that abuse doesn't make you any less of a man. If anything it makes you stronger, & I hope one day I can say that I grew to be as strong as you have.

    Im writing this now cuz I remember this video and how it made me feel but my whole life its been hard to talk about it.
    I can feel like these memories are on the outside of my skin and people can see them plain as day and night. But apparently thats not the case since ive been trying to be happy my whole life and joke away lifes strugles.

    It takes a lot of strength and courage to talk about being abused. I've only ever been able to talk to one person about my own experiences. Seeing other men come forward and talk about this kind of thing reminds me I'm not alone and I shouldn't stay silent. There needs to be more support for people who struggle with any kind of abuse. Your video moved me and i felt like I need to show my support. Thank you for sharing your story. Stay strong and my good things come to you and those you love.

I, myself, have not but I have/had friends that had gone through similar abuse or like yours and Matthew's. It breaks my heart to see anyone get treated like dog shit, especially in families and/or communities...whatever. You and Matt are brave. A true testament that people can survive through this and have a good life overall, no matter how terrible it was for them. Thank you for existing, Boogie. Thank you for being you.

    When you said “the same teenage boy getting the living s*** beat out of” that honestly broke me because my ex girlfriend of 4 years did that to me every single day of my life until she moved away and still tormented me with verbal abuse and mental as well. When I feel low and my depression and memories get to, I still see myself as a 16 year old getting shoved, smacked, cut, punched in the face and even emasculated by other male students with her crude remarks. Even after it was just me and her after school. The constant put down, fighting and telling me I’m nothing without her. Makes me burst into tears while I’m rubbing my left arm since she almost broke it after I fell hard on the ground trying to get her off me.
    4 years with her. Even after she moved to another continent. I was under her strings. Until I said enough was enough but the damage still followed. Even now I still feel I’m not good enough for anyone my own age. I’m 24 and I’m just slowly coming to peace especially coming out to tell my parents especially my dad who I was terrified to tell since he raised me to be stronger than any other woman and man since he was in the army not that he was also father of the year sometimes. He told me it’s okay and he still loved me which made me cry harder since I carried that fear of him seeing me less of a man as his only son for 8 years..

    I have to say boogie you are a real hero to me. I can never feel the way you do. Or even understand the things you have gone through. To be honest I am still pretty early in my life and the only advice I can ever tell you if you ever see this comment on your old video is to stay strong and push away those bad memories but never forget. Because whenever it gets so tough you can't bear it, remember those memories and you look how far you have come. You have a fan base that loves you and will always stay behind you and support you. Never be afraid to express the way you feel.

    This is the 3rd video I've seen of yours, the first being your reaction to the Fine Bros announcement. One of the first thoughts I had of you after watching that had to do with how straight-minded and unbiased you were, and I try to keep a level head like that everyday. Seeing someone take apart a video that EVERYONE hated but show that there were good intentions behind it, you're the only one that I've seen do that so far. And now, hearing this, I'm even more amazed dude. I know it can be tough to go through life as a functional, normal person despite everything you've been through. But goddamn, you do so well at it. And I'm glad you found it in you to open up a bit on RUclips. 3 videos in, I can tell you're great at what you do online and offline. Keep it up man. You're inspiring.

    I don't get abused, but I feel you man. As men we are taught to grow up being tough and only part of that is true. Guys, if we express our guilt/regret more, we could come to forgive ourselves much easier.
    There is a great book about this called the Kite Runner where this guy named Amir as a kid had a friend named Hassan and basically Amir allowed very bad things to happen to Hassan, but if Amir was in trouble, Hassan would help or take the blame. Throughout the remainder of the book he goes back to Afganistan (his home town) and tries to make it better again. Thing is, he has been forgiven by others for his entire life and his journey is to forgive himself for what he has done.
    Boogie, I feel you man. I really appreciated the part where you said, none of what I did helped except talking to others.

    I have been abused in ways I won't describe in full detail here. I don't feel sorry for myself one bit. Instead of being upset and feeling bad for myself or feeling like a victim of abuse I decided to make a change for those that I can. I am not a victim. I was locked in trunks, I was sexually abused, I was beaten, I was subjected to drug abuse, I was lied to about how I was conceived, I was subjected to extreme racism, I was pulled from my family, I was moved all over the country every few months never being in one town for a full year until I was locked away in one for over a year, I watched my mother slice her wrists and bleed out in front of me, I watched strange men come into my home and tell me to call them dad, I fought 2 to 3 times a week to defend myself from bullies, I was put on OYA and used as an example for kids that still had a chance, ect... I could go on for hours about the bullshit I have been through. Hell my mom committed suicide when I was only 15 and revealed to me in the suicide letter that I she lied about my dad and that I will most likely never meet him because he is a rapist and I am a product of that. I was told I am suicidal, manic depressive, a drug addict, an alcoholic, and a threat to my community. I was prescribed a ton of pills and locked away in a cell with heavy therapy. Not once did I buy into that bullshit. We all have bad things happen to us. Well at least most of us do. We have the power to choose how we react to those bad things. We can choose to accept being victimized or we can choose to not accept it. We can choose to let those memories effect our future in a negative way such as being depressed, unsociable, acting out, turning to drugs or alcohol, or even just having a chip on our shoulder because we technically have the right to have a chip on our shoulder since we have been subject to victimization. However I chose to do something different. After attending my mother's funeral in handcuffs, shackles and a belly chain in front of all my friends, family and close to 1,000 members of my local community I had a complete meltdown followed by pure clarity. Everything started to make sense to me. Life is literally the accumulation of choices and reactions. Emotions are controllable and reactions are a choice. As I began to understand that and to apply simple accountability ONLY to myself and no one else my life started to change. I realized what my faults were, what my strengths were and what mattered. Simply quit caring about the judgments from others and only care about meeting your full potential as human. Do good instead of bad. Do right instead of wrong. Take the hard road when everyone else takes the easy road. If it is easy then it isn't the right option. If someone has to lose for you to win, don't play the game. I know it all sounds stupid but I am truly a living example of this. While my following is nowhere near as large as yours is I can tell you right now that this simple logic has helped to change my life and hundreds if not thousands of others lives at this point. I literally had my eye opener at 15 years old and have been on a mission to help others every since. I know this will probably get hated on because nobody ever wants to take accountability for the negative or the bad in the world but as soon as I started to acknowledge my own thinking errors, my own tactics to avoid accountability and stopped even paying attention to others faults, my entire life changed. Fast forward 16 years and I am still just as passionate about it and still stand behind that belief as it has continued to prove true. I wish everyone that reads this the best and hope that all of you find your inner strength. The people that abused me will never have the satisfaction of feeling that they hurt me because they didn't. They empowered me to do better than they were ever able to for themselves. #humanity #onelove

    Boogie, sorry that I don't know your name, but you are my favorite RUclips and person. It's bad to know that you had went through such torment and despair, but it's so good to know that you talk about it on youtube. I have been through abuse but not as bad as what you went through, and I thank God for that. Boogie you are a man, because you have the courage and heart to talk about this sort of thing, and that is what makes you one of the most respected youtubers on the whole internet, and I think what you do on this platform is something no man can do and so... Thank you, so much.
    You are my favorite youtuber, and for what you have been through that is what makes you a man to talk about that, and going through on what has happened.

    I can't totally relate to what you've been through. Ive been mentally abused by a gf. I did the same thing to her since i have suffered mental abuse from my father nearly every day since i was born and i hate having to gone through that. Since ive gone through some hardship in life i try to help people with theyre problems the ones that deserve it. Anyone that was physically abusive or mentally abusive i forgive that but if they keep it up i cut them out of my life without an apology and never look back. Ive recently had to cut someone out of my life for that very reason. Negativity runs through my head nearly every day. Your videos give me insight and inspiration to better myself as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

Good for you for sharing this. I have to wonder (and I doubt he’ll ever do a video on this) but was his mother an addict / alcoholic? Did the whole family know of this? And also- his siblings, how were they effected? Did Mom ever apologize? These are things I think of when I watched this... So frustrating to even image that situation.

    Hi +boogie2988
    Today I commented for the first time to another one of your recent videos.
    I am 54 and i still try to cope with the outcome of being molested and being violently violated in my childhood.
    Since a few years i started to open up about it. I do feel with you. Believe me. Every word you said, it resonated with me.
    We are not alone in this. Today i realized that again. Thank You.
    Greetings from Bremen, Germany,

    • @tapatvde

      +Plague Doctor Thank you. I managed to get better with professional help, but as ***** said a few times: It never leaves you. In recent years most of my days are pretty ok and i manage to cope with all that is inside of me and i live a pretty decent life. But then comes along some event, that triggers all the fear and brings back all the dark emotions and dark memories. Over the years of my childhood my mum broke about 30 of those long wooden cooking spoons, while beating me up with them. At least twice a month i got beaten with a leather belt by my dad. With a childhood like that you tend to get into abusive relationships, because that is what you know.

    • @daddydanks6660

      Joachim Rimer the worst I have suffered was some minor bullying, so I don't feel as if I will ever know what that kind of pain is like. This makes me relieved that people have the ability to find professional help to at least assist in coping with the trauma they recieve.

    • @tapatvde
      @tapatvde 8 лет назад +4

      Plague Doctor I think pain is an individual thing for every human being. I would never tell to anyone that his or her pain is not as painful for her or him, as my pain was for me. At that moment when one has to go through pain, it becomes the focal point of ones perception.

I love that you're using your platform to spread kindness and understanding to your friends (and total strangers such as myself). Without going into too much detail, I want to say that I was also a victim of sexual, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of people I trusted as a teenager. Watching your videos makes me feel a strong connection to you; I'm 10,000% sure that I was meant to discover your channel. I'm SO glad you and your wife found each other, and that she loves you the way you deserve to be loved. ❤️ thank you for being a beacon of light in such a dark, unkind place.

    My whole family had dealt with abuse and/or are abusers themselves. I think it takes strength to talk about it. It's really easy to just ignore it and "move on." I hope everybody who's dealing with it can eventually find a way out of that situation and be able to find someone they trust and talk about it and heal.

  • @angeemima
    @angeemima 8 лет назад +235

    Goddamn Boogie, I felt that. I felt that SO deeply - wow... I wasn't ready... But then again, are we ever REALLY ready? If I may, I'd like to share. This will be a first for me, so my apologies in advance if I jump all over the place.
    I too was abused as a child... And like you, my abuse came at the hands of someone who was supposed to LOVE and PROTECT me from the world... But, my father failed to do that. My father RUINED me. And now, at 33 years old, I am
    still picking up the pieces. I made a promise to myself years and years ago that I would BREAK the cycle. I vowed to NEVER, EVER turn out like him - I will NOT let him have that kind of power over me... Those days are OVER. And, if I am someday blessed with a child of my own, they will never - NEVER - experience the things I experienced... the things that could have so easily been avoided, but weren't.
    My abuse came at the hands of my father - a military man. He was like a real life Dr Jekyll& Mr Hyde... He had his public persona, and then there was the REAL him that we saw behind the scenes. Everyone that knew him LOVED him. As a high ranking officer of 33 years in the military, he was highly respected. He was also highly regarded at his civilian job. My peers knew him as my High School's Frosh/JV/Varsity tennis coach. I knew him for his TRUE self and saw him for what EXACTLY what he really was - a fucking MONSTER abused the ever loving SHIT out of his child simply because he could. As we walked around the grocery store, as we marched in the parade for my softball league, as we took communion at church, everyone came up to him and showered him with love and friendship... And there I was on the sidelines, staring in absolute DISGUST because I knew it would only be a matter of time before we were home and that "switch" was flipped. He "justified" his actions by saying, "My father raised me this way, so I will raise you this way too." To this day, that has easily been the most DISGUSTING and DISTURBING thing that I have EVER heard in my LIFE. My grandfather was a Drill Sergeant and a 3x Vietnam vet. I'm sure you can imagine what kind of "parent" he was and where my father got these fucked up ideas.
    I wish I could say that, I no longer hold resentment towards my father, but that would be a lie. I also wish I could say that I have nothing but love in my heart for my mother, but that too would be a lie - I have never understood, and frankly, I've given up trying, how she could possibly allow my father to do the things he did. HOW?! WHY?! My mother would take my sister out for walks just so they wouldn't have to witness my father beating me with his pistol belt and so they wouldn't have to hear my cries for help. My mother knew EXACTLY what was going on and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop it - not one goddamn thing. And, to me, something so DEPLORABLE is straight UNFORGIVABLE.
    I "divorced" both of my parents several years ago and, while closing that chapter of my life was INCREDIBLY painful (afterall, they ARE myPARENTS. They ARE my family), it was the absolute BEST decision I've EVER made. Up until the very end, my father still tried to control me with his mindfuckery and evil, EVIL ways. As expected, my mother still turned a blind eye. But you know, while I will never understand it, I have fully accepted my past. To that, I also welcome the future with excitement and open arms. I alone am in charge of my destiny and I will NOT let my past - or my parents - have power over me ANY longer.
    I can honestly say that I'm VERY proud of the woman that I have become. Whenever I am lost I need direction, all I need to do is think of my father and choose the exact OPPOSITE of what he would do or say, and things ALWAYS work out. I now know what LOVE is and have been lucky enough to experience it on a daily basis - turns out that I AM worthy of love afterall!
    The road to healing is long, windy, and full of potholes, but that does not deter me. The work I have done, and will continue to do for the rest of my days, for/on myself has been very, VERY painful. Actually, "painful" doesn't even come close to describing it - I don't know that my experience and feelings can actually be captured in words. But, I keep going. I have to. I owe it to myself to be the very BEST version of me possible... and that's what I'll keep doin - with a smile in my face, and love in my heart, I WILL break the cycle. ❤
    ((THANK YOU everyone for allowing me to free myself this morning... I feel like I just offloaded 350lbs. LOVE and LIGHT to all reading this... Please, if you need someone to talk to, I am only an email away - I will gladly, and humbly, lend you an ear or shoulder to cry on. We all need SOMEONE, and I'd be HONORED to be your "someone" if you're in the market for one. 😊))

    Hi, Boogie. I'm not the victim of abuse like you are, so I'm afraid I can't completely empathize with you. However I am a victim of bullying, and I know how scarring such an experience is. I was bullied for years when I was younger, and it caused me to completely change my life, mostly for the worse. But I want to assure you, even though you've probably heard it a lot: men don't have to be tough. We are just as human as girls are, and we are liable to the same kinds of pain - mental, physical, spiritual. I'm just glad you finally found a woman who can treat you like a man, and not a punching bag. Stay strong, because while the past might be hard, the future is bright and always full of hope.
    (to any of my fans who might read this: please don't reply. This is Boogie's video, and I'm just here to support him.)

    I had a similar experience as a kid, my childhood was rough during the ages 6-14 years of age. My mom was addicted to pills when she had my brother. I was berated, yelled at, beaten and made to feel guilty until she went to jail at age 14. I haven't had contact with any of my family after that and it still hurts me from within. Both my parents fought each other and witnessed domestic violence and it really fucked up my life. I'm glad I'm not the only one who went through the same stuff I went through.

I am tired of seeing men and women being assaulted and traumatized who are afraid to stand against it because people don't take them seriously or don't believe them.

      I fell in love with a women, and I was extremely romantic. I was going to propose to her, and I had it all planned out. We'd be in the forest (in april) the rays of sunlight would brake through the canopy like something out of a fantasy movie, then after a few mintues of bewilderment what merely looked to be dead leaves would burst into life; 60,000 monarch butterflies. As fate would have it the night before I'd been disillusioned; she'd been cheating on me with a married man. She tried to attack me, then she tried to get me jumped, then she called the cops on me and I was in jail. I didn't eat sleep or drink for 12 days (I know it sounds medically impossible, but I now know that it isn't). I certainly almost died. On the other hand my sister walked in on her friend being raped while she was passed out drunk, and the cops were dismissive. So it's not that simple. Now sadly her friend gave up after a local hospital said they don't do rape kits. It's a multifaceted problem, and a difficult crime to prove; especially without a rape kit. I think one major part is people don't want to believe it; but at the end of the day police vetting and training needs improved, and much more difficult society improved. What's needed most in these situations is level headed objectivity.

      Bryn Bryn I will certainly look into it. I've only been taken advantage of once; she just happened to be really good at it. I think you've got me all wrong, though I'm willing to question my own notions (logic not pandering lol).

    I’m so sorry to hear that you suffered abuse in your lifetime. As an adult now who also has suffered from abuse at the hands of a parent I understand where you are coming from and I hope this video was a cathartic experience for you and you can begin to heal from it. Send love and prayers your way.

    The fact that you're still living and changing your life for the better proves that you're strong. It's crazy that society and people just do not intervene when they know something is happening. I'll never understand that. I was bullied in school, never physicly beaten by anyone thankfully, but i was always afraid, every single day at school. And still to this day i remember those people, and even though i've surpressed those memories a bit they still come crawling back every once in a while. Thank you for sharing this, i hope it made you feel better. I sat and cried with you. It's sad that the nicest and most heartwarming people always have the worst background. But maybe that's why they're the nicest. I always enjoy watching your videos and i hope for the best for you in the future! - Michael

      Regardless of your somewhat insulting/rude comment, you do have a morbid point.
      It seems as if though he is obese, and obviously this can impose some serious health risks such as heart disease. I'm also going to assume he spends the majority of his time in his chair, doing activities that does not involve moderate physical exertion.
      And it would be a shame if he were to die so early considering his way of going about things in a sincere and pragmatic way. He is one of the few so called "real RUclipsrs" out there, at least from what I've gathered thus far.

      +fill it fillit all he can move so little he is incapable of what most people would call exercise :(
      Mostly as a result of his obesity, he has joint damage/pain, lymphedema (fucked up legs where they swell up and hurt), a permanently bad back, and of course bad cardiovascular health. He also says he has naturally very low testosterone and always has - this doesn't make much difference now, but if he were a healthy size it would mean it would be harder for him to put on muscle.
      Regardless, he cannot exercise. If he goes grocery shopping or to conventions he has to use a mobility scooter because he physically can't walk for more than a couple of minutes.
      He did swim for a bit (which is relatively low exertion if you go slow) but says its really hard pulling himself out the pool and impossible when his back is playing up.
      Basically, his body is fucked up. Dieting is his only option. Don't let yourself get this big.

      +Zoe Adams I suffer from most of the same problems, in addition to considerable damage from a couple of injuries. Yes, he (and I) can exercise, can diet, it just takes a great deal of pain and effort (just, what the hell am I saying?). Hard to do, but worth it. Water therapy is one good means. Hard to keep up though, the pain makes it a hard road to walk. I do admire his courage however.

    Boogie, I've started to follow you recently and I've loved the videos where you talked about your life experience. I think you're not weak at all, you're a very, very strong person. It's not important if it was done by a man or a woman, the abuse you've suffered is real and horrible, and I'm so sorry that it happened to you. I've seen your latest videos and I'm so happy that you've taken your life in your hands. You're so brave! You're great! You only deserve the best in your life, and do not allow anyone to make you feel bad, because you're awesome. I felt your pain in this video and it made me cry.. You can't cancel the past, but you can live a beautiful future, that one still hasn' t been stolen from you!

    As a psychotherapist that has worked with a number of young men, I can assure you that this sort of abuse is a very real and far from uncommon issue and that there are a number of men suffering in silence. I do admire your courage in creating this video that is clearly doing much to increase awareness. If you do ever need support with anything, please feel free to let me know as for you there would be no charge.

    Thank you for being strong enough to share this, it takes a lot of courage to talk about these things. I have been in relationships with a man that suffered such abuse from his mother and his children's mother. It breaks my heart that a woman with such a gift from God to be able to carry a child from the very beginning of conception could and would do such a thing to that very gift she was given. I find it even more outrageous that a mother could hurt a child, let alone get very own child! The man I speak of finally gave in to the pressures and took his own life about 7years ago. It killed me inside to see him struggle for so many years with the ptsd, mental anguish and illness. I'm thankful that I could be there for and with him many years and was able to help him see the love that he deserved. I was out of town when he took his life but he left me a letter to explain he couldn't handle his mind reminding him anymore and he feared that his own kids would suffer more with him around then without him. That is what his ex-wife and mother of his children told him as she too abused him in multiple ways. I'm so thankful that you haven't given up and I have faith that you will love a long happy life and that you will continue to help many more people suffering along the way. Thank you for overcoming the fear and sharing your story too! Much love Boogie!
