I love Tommy. So transparent and willing to tell the chat about personal life
Same in almost every post communist country during the 90s
Tommy's dad needs a purpose. He needs a reason to want to take care of himself. As a man just thinking about not being useful would eat me up too.
The father of my best friend died of alcoholism about 2 years ago. Since his parents broke up. He lived with his mom and he continually grew hate against his Dad. After his Dad died, he got his heritage and said "Since he gave all of his money for Alcohol, I will do the same. It would`ve been what he wanted." And to see a person easily follow the same path of self-destruction is frightening. He's well better nowadays and I'm proud of him. To see how fast people will grab to alcohol to ease the pain is again, frightening.
Same happend to my Dad, he was very kind of succesful (no mafia and messing up with the goverment but had a very good job, something with space after he was done with teaching in Zukov's military armour school) until the fall of the USSR. Since the fall of the USSR, he started drinking alot more than he used to.Because everything he had was worthless same with his achivements.Since the rest of the family moved to Israel (they're jews) he got nothing left in Russia, he did the same, but the diffrent languages, people,and the same problems he had in Russia really screwed him and he couldn't even hold on in a regular job. At the end he flew back to Russia, two weeks later he died(because of the Alcohol, a heart attack).He was a very smart guy, but everytime I visited him as a kid he was stinking of Alcohol, but I really loved him because we loved the same things and I learned alot, I didn't understand at the time that he got problems like that.But of what I've heard alot of people tried to help him, but he denied them all.
The more I learn about Tommy through his life stories the more I respect him as a true alpha male
you know what, the phrase: "you cant save everyone" hits different once you think about it. rehabilitation isnt about overcoming your demons and dealing with yourself, its about the effort you put into helping yourself, and sometimes, the best of your efforts... wont be enough. reality sometimes is harsh than we think. if you want to try, try. but even if you fail, try to go easy on that stuff, even if its a bottle less, its something.
that's the story of my life bro, drunk and can't talk, so i get more drunk to talk, but then i'm too drunk
Tommy is a great person, is sad I cant see his streams live :(
i wonder if tommy succeded in making him go to rehab, i hope so. much love to tommy <3
"Learn from these mistakes" -Father TommyKay
When my dad was in his 20's, Just out of when he got in university at the time, he got into drugs, if it wasn't my Mother, he would would have continued being a junkie, he got cleaned up, he knew what he did wrong, when I was born, he was a caring buy very strict father, especially about school, he died because of silent hepatitis B, because of that period on his life, he died when I was 9, later when my Mother told me this, I understood why, he didn't want me to do the same as him. He wanted a better future for me, that sometimes makes me think, damn, he really loved me.
Markoni, never stop posting videos like these. This is always 10 times better then any podcast or audiobook. All the best in 2021 :D!
Hey! I usually don't comment on any RUclips video but this hit too close. My dad was an alcoholic. I'm a Finnish male and alcoholism is a big thing here. I was 18 when my dad died due to complications that came with years of drinking. It has been 18 years since he died and i still think could i have done anything. But you can't change anything, the healing has to come from his own initiative. He has to want to get better. My dad was in those rehabs but he didn't really want it, relapsed right away after. I still remember the good. He was a good man, and lost too much too young.
That really sucks, but there are people who can't be helped. They must want to be helped, even if they never admit it. I'm sorry you and your father have to go through that.
As a kid I've had the whole "Drinking stepfather that ends up violent" thing, today I can't stand a single drop of alcohol because of this, my mind instantly brings back memories
Not sure if Tommy will ever see this, but most of my life both my parents were alcoholics. My mum works at a bar, dad was unemployed most of my life. Both broke up when I was young and was into the alcohol for a very long time. My dad managed to quit because he had a mental breakdown (funnily enough at the same time as me) and he signed off (basically stopped getting money all together) he lost his flat became homeless and had no income at all for a year and a half. And the breakdown, and the fact that he lost his unemployment allowance meant he had no choice but to quit because he couldn't afford the income. Sometimes the best solution is the most evil looking. But as someone who grew up with that culture, I don't even drink anymore. Much love to everyone out there that was in similar situations <3
I will say that I am going through the same thing but I’m 14 and this situation with my dad has matured me he is 50 and alcoholics are through my blood and my family
Honestly tommy has the best stories
Wow, can relate to all this too. The constant calls on phone "I love you so much, I was an asshole, but I love you" you can feel their regret for not being their when you grew up. But I still love this man to death, he as never told me to fuck off or shown any signs of not loving me, which alot of children experience. He did everything he could by the means he had, today he is much better and a great grand father to my children. He takes them out to the park everyday, I think deep inside he does this because I never did for me.
