    This was the 1st song I ever heard from NF and I was deep into a heroin addiction and a single mom to my daughter. This song hit me super hard as I pictured my daughter thinking some of these things. This song was the moment that made me change and seek help. That was 17 months ago and I am the sober mom my daughter deserves and has.

    I’m so sorry for your pain sweetie 😥 I am a recovering pain pill addict, 8 years now. My mom and dad had to take my son from age 1-10. This song broke me when I first heard it. All I could think of was my sons pain that he never deserved and how selfish I was to stay in the addiction for so long. I regret it every single day, and this song reminds me that my son needs me and to NEVER use again! For all the kids reading this, or anyone who has a parent with an addiction- please know that it’s not your fault and your parent absolutely does love you. They have a disease and are struggling. It doesn’t excuse that behavior- and I know it may not help the pain that much- but from a mother who once was the mother in this song- addiction robbed you of one or both parents- you are not alone. And I know if every single addict parent could take back what they did to hurt their children, they’d do it in a second. Love all of you guys, and I just want to apologize on behalf of other parents struggling with addiction that is hurting their children. I am so sorry for all the pain and tears. Life is precious, and our children are the most important thing in this world. If you’re a child with an addicted parent reading this- I want you to know that I love you, and you are beautiful and you don’t deserve any of the pain you are feeling. I pray you all find peace and love in life. ❤️🙏

      Kudos for getting clean. I wish you continued success. My brother told my Mom once that drugs will always be an addict's one and only true love. Well, his true love assassinated him a year ago, leaving behind a 22 year old son who is completely lost. For the first time in his young life, he's started dabbling with drugs and alcohol too. I'm sure it's as a means to escape his grief and it scares the living hell out of me. My brother's addiction ripped us all apart for years. I can't watch his son go through it or worse, bury him because of drugs too.

    Van I appreciate your honesty. I used to sit on the front stairs waiting for my dad to turn up, every second Friday. I would sit on those stairs and I would watch every car come around the corner and would get my hopes up that it was Dad and then it wasn’t. I would sit there for 5 hours on the stairs till I would give up. I never break promises to my son. That’s probably the worst part of my memories of Dad. We don’t talk and I’m 50. I’ve only really known him for 20 years as I chased him down in my 30’s and saw him till I was 40. He has shunned me and he has two other sons so I’m some sort of diss appointment to him. I pray that my son never feels about me the way I think of my Dad. He was an alcoholic for the first 25 years of my life and I rarely saw him. He was always angry at me but I think it’s because I reminded him of my Mum. He just wanted to do away with that part of his life. I notice even till this day, I can’t be late for anything because he was late for everything or was a no show. Thank you Van for sharing and respect to NF. I have heard some of his stuff but now I am going to check out his catalogue. Peace and love from Australia

He’s 17 now and has 2 more years of school and he will be the first person in my family to go to University. I was eligible but I was to poor to afford it. I don’t regret a thing though. Providing him with better opportunities in life is my job. He’s also not entitled and he works part time and has an excellent work ethic.

    This is probably the only song that has ever made me shed tears. My mother struggled with pill addiction when I was in my teens and I almost lost her twice. Fortunately for me, after years of dealing with depression and addiction she got help. I'm not religious, but her faith was probably the biggest factor in her getting clean, along with my sister and I leaving to live with our father. But I could have just as easily been in the same shoes as Nate. So like you, this one hits me hard. My mom's been clean now for 20 years, but those feelings still rise to the surface when I hear this song.

    My son’s mom is still a heroin addict, just got arrested again... OD’d multiple times, she’s never here for him. This one gets me hard, I grew up with one parent and watching it happen to my son kills me. I can relate to this song wayyyy too much n now I’ve passed it to my son, I hate myself for it but I am the best damn dad I can be EVERY DAY.
    Love you brother, we all go through it. Respect ✊💙🙏

    I'm a single father with sole custody of my boy. His mom left us at the hospital to run through rehabs.
    I will never give up on my son. I could never. I hope to foster and adopt as my life progresses. Im only 26. My boy has special needs because his mother continued to use.
    She has never called. I keep the same number and have not moved. I hurt for him, but it fuels me when im feeling run down. He deserves the best.
    I survived over 10 years of domestic abuse.
    God will grant the strength to carry all burdens. For that I fear no evil as I walk with him through the valley.
    Be proud of who you are, what you've built. You are an amazing person.
    Thanks for releasing some real and heavy content.

I wasn't in foster care nor in the states custody but in WV they check on Kids that have been abandon to make sure the person who takes them are fit.

      I definitely know. I spent many years in the system growing up. Thankfully at 32, it has molded me into the person and parent I am today. With therapy and patience as well. Makes me sad that it wasn’t the same for my 3 brothers. All of them are in prison and substance abusers. There’s some things you just can’t forget and you damn sure can’t forgive. Painful to think about. I hope someday they find peace. I know they’re hurting. Much love to anyone who’s been through it.

      Yo I was in foster care for 2 years and homeless a little before that and let me tell you... the system would’ve broke me if I had not believed that my dad would’ve found me and my brother and got us out. I’m hitting 30 this year and I still fight demons from when I was in the system at 7-10 years old. Not trying to preach or be religious but faith is a powerful weapon. And a man who goes without his mother is just as serious as a daughter without his father and vice versa

    Thanks for your reaction and sorry. Ususally the NF family gives reactors big warnings before they do this one. When I saw you do your normal intro before this song, I thought to myself “oh no, he’s about to run full speed into a brick wall and he has no idea.” But it’s songs like this that make NF fans fiercely loyal to him. And it’s ok to cry or feel overcome with emotion. I could see this brought up real stuff for you. Respect. ✊

    There's something special about this song. Even if you don't relate or can't directly connect with the story, the delivery of it and the heartbeat and passion that come through can still get to you. I didn't lose a parent like NF, my parents got divorced when I was really young. Even though my Father stopped trying to be a part of life, only calling when his booze gave him the courage, I grew up happy with my mom and my stepdad, and this song still gets me. Just that feeling of being alone, like you weren't good enough. Cause as kids, we don't get it, and by the time we do understand we still got all this baggage hanging around.
    This song's not on any of my playlists, but whenever I have a shitty day and need to just be alone and feel all the shit inside, this is one of my go-to tracks. This song will always be in my mind and in my heart.

    You're not alone, brother. I'm so sorry for what you went through. I could see it on your face. I recognize that pain. The first song I ever heard from NF was Mansion and it hit me like a ton of bricks because I was also abused as a kid. Then I read in the comments of that video someone mentioned his mom died from pill addiction and talked about this song title being about it.
    I also lost my mother to an OD of pills and alcohol. She ended up having a seizure and it caused brain damage she was a vegetable till she died a few months later. I heard this song and fell apart, the way he writes and expresses himself is like someone took my deepest darkest thoughts and feelings and exposed them. I fell in love with NFs music after that. Bought CDs and MP3's of his music and still working on getting them all. Thank you for sharing your reaction and just letting it go.

  • @CarriedAwayChannel
    @CarriedAwayChannel 3 года назад +38

    That’s tough. My 3 sisters and I were left by our Mother when I was 9. I was the youngest. She, and her new husband started using pills because of her “pain”. I try not to blame her today because she’s just a very dependent person with some mental issues, but it’s hard. I’ve taken care of her for 5 years now. After her husband died, she needed someone to care for her and my sisters wouldn’t. There’s a lot of pain even now. She had nowhere to go, she’s disabled & she is still my Mother, so we took her in to live with us. But I still feel the pain from her leaving every time I look at her, even though she’s here now. She’s not the same person she was when she was “my Mom” back then. I look at them as two different people. But I’m trying.

I thank God for giving me the strength to do it and give my children a second chance, giving myself a second chance at fatherhood. I pray for those whose suffering from addiction. The addict and also the families that are destroyed by addiction.

    I'm glad I subscribed to you brother man. I've seen so many reactions to this song but you're the only one who's had the same life as us. The good thing for NF is that his mom's gone now. She can't hurt him anymore. My mom is still doing it to me promising she'll change and this song made me realize where she's headed and I can't stop her.
