    I love Darryl Stephens, he's so dope. This was such a great short film.
    He good for sitting there though, I would've already walked away. Parents can be so toxic. A child never owes their parent their life. A parent chooses to have a child, and in that, it's their choice to be the best parent they can be for the child. Having expectations for your child (like to serve you) is toxic and selfish. A parent is supposed to be self-less.
    I'm happy he chose himself, and to be happy.

    • @vivicohen199

      @SirDave: Well said! Parents who make their children's lives Hell by not accepting they're gay are guilty of emotional abuse. This is as traumatic as physical/sexual abuse.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- OMG. She was Wanda Jo Howell Dickson, my mother, to a T! I am an only child and look exactly like my father.
    She NEVER let go of her anger over her fake marriage failing although she KNEW he was gay before marrying him because he'd slept with her brother. I found out after she died she was so detached from reality that she bought both her engagement ring and wedding ring.
    I'm telling you, this is my life on so many levels.
    I'll be 58 next Wednesday and if I hadn't gotten mental therapy at so many times during and after her death, I wouldn't be here.
    Thank you from the bottom of my ❤

    Sampson, I never heard of you until I saw your comedy gig on RUclips yesterday. It was really funny. Now I see you can act serious too. I'll be looking out to see what else you can do now.
