    I’m sorry I couldn’t finish your story. It’s just so heartbreaking. I have a son, my only child. & I couldn’t image how your mom felt knowing she missed that call. I feel so bad for the both of you. I absolutely hate this happened in your life. But it seems you have learned to be much stronger mentally than before & in the end that’s what we all strive for! I’ve been in that depressed state, too. Sometimes I still am. But everyday is a chance to fight against the demons. I’m glad you’re here with us. I’m glad I’m here too. My son kept me here when I didn’t want to be. In the end I see you’ve obviously matured immensely & you now know you ultimately have the control over your life. You & God. God & You. It’s beautiful to see you thriving & choosing to be happy. You definitely gained a new sub & follower.
    Lastly, I just want to say: it’s okay to cry!! I think men should cry more often. Say how you feel. It’s not shameful to express yourself. I’m not saying cry for attention or cry for results. But cry for emotional release! Emotions get in the way of logical thinking. Men make fun of women for being emotional & crying but in reality, it’s just because society says men shouldn’t do those things so they think it’s a feminine characteristic. I never teach my son that. I anyways taught him to express himself & use his words. Cry if you need to. Cry to your parents. Or cry to yourself if you want to. But please LET THAT SHIT OUT!!! It’s not healthy to hold it in & like you said, the chemical reaction depression has on our brains makes us do stuff we would NEVER dream of really doing. Crazy thoughts that are not even your own. When you have that emotional release, it’s soooo helpful for our brain to fully understand what we’re dealing with & gives us a chance to fight back logically. I’m wishing nothing but the best for you!! ❤

      @AldeneFerdinand 6 месяцев назад +8

      I really don’t think his wife is emotionless quite the contraire! She is married to this man and the very least has supported him emotionally and physically. He has openly declared in this said video that she’s the only one he’s even made aware about his previous marriage and all of the other happenings. Everything he now shares on his public platforms, she’s already helped him to live through in private. In preparation for this live interview they more than likely had to do multiple “test runs” before coming on “air,” so t’m sure she gave him what he needed privately. In this capacity she was an interviewer, tasked with getting the story out. He had her there cause, he knew she was the best one “for the job.” Please cut this woman some slack because she did an excellent job asking him tough, relevant questions and leading him into the most honest answers, even at points where he became very emotional. Thank GOD he survived the suicide attempt incident, he often refers to as an accident but there is a difference. The Good LORD spared him for a purpose and I hope it will come to fruition. I can see see that some of what he’s accomplished is already motivating others. Hope him, his wife and village will have a long healthy, happy GOD centered life. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️!

    Hi Kevin & Kassy
    I'm so glad I found ur channel. Thanks for keeping it 💯.
    Ur angels r with u. I was shocked about the bullet.
    Thank u Kevin for even going oversees. I know I couldn't do it.
    I don't even want to say this but I have had depression for awhile now.
    I was a critical care RN for 25yrs and then someone hit me at 50mph. I was at a stop light. I was hit so hard my seatbelt strangled me and fx C3-7 and bleeding. I was very concerned about my airway. They did airvac me quickly though.
    Of course this person didn't have insurance. This accident took my career away. I loved being a nurse, that's all I wanted since I was 5.
    I'm not paralyzed thank God but I have RSD that now spread to all my extremities.
    I'm in pain daily. I feel like I'm getting shocked by electricity in my extremities.
    I had a C3-7 fused. I can't swallow well. I hate that thickened liquid crap.
    I just wanted to tell u thank you for being open with us.
    I won't really tell anyone but my husband. I haven't tried to take my life though probably bc I'm too scared to. I took care of a few patients that shot themselves but didn't die.
    A cpl shot themselves in the face but missed the brain and those poor ppl told me how much worse things r now bc of medical stuff they will have for ever & all the plastic surgery and other surgeries they r going through now, so anyway I know what we do in ICU bc we have to. I don't want any of that. Thank you all❤

I'm a former military spouse with 2 sons in the military. The military can put a strain on families. I wish they would provide family counseling for younger couples that would help lower the divorce rate. God bless you on your next journey! ❤🙏

    I have never seen this level of transparency. God bless him❤. She is really asking some invasive questions and he's honestly answering😲. I don't think it was karma. Bad things just happen sometimes. This is your testimony to encourage others. I would have never known she was his wife bc she seems so distant from him. As he's breaking down how could she not reach out and touch him? Weird vibe imo. Idk if they are still together but it would surprise me if they are.
    Either way i wish him the best❤.

    The story was kind of all over the place but I didnt understand the part about the gun sliding off the seat him shooting himself or being delusional if someone mentioned the sky was green.... was it a accident or a suicide attempt because the ex wife cheated on him and PTSD from him serving in the military. I do not understand what really happened. It seems like he is saying that it wasn't a accident he pulled the trigger. It is a blessing that he is still here. I have experienced depression in the past too but I had to give it to God and not allow the way people treated me to determine my worth.

I’ve watched this channel for several years now, listened and watched all of the first season of this podcast, and am excited for what’s to come. While I am able bodied, I’ve learned so much watching your channel. I personally look at life so differently because I know anything can change in an instant. I also learned think twice before ever trying to judge someone’s situation because they’re in a wheelchair. Also, being married to someone in the military - I’m very cautious about his mental health and what’s going on in his life. Thank you for doing this. Seriously, thank YOU. You’ve impacted my life in more ways than one. ❤️
