The day i was supposed to get it, through sweat and work, the car was sold. Many other examples, but the tough love that i was taught screamed “everyone you ever loved will demand things from u, they will need you to succeed for their benefit, once you do, they end up doing what is better for them”. And from there i grew my trust issues. These videos keep me going. Thank you.

    What a great message- thank you Dewayne! Our barn swallow babies were lined up on a romax wire one morning, ready to fledge. We'd watched the parents work tirelessly to feed and defend them for weeks and now looked forward to their moment of truth. The babies were reluctant. Ma and Pa swallow sidled next to them in what looked to be a Disney moment, then proceeded to peck the dog snot outta them until they flew away. Later I told my daughter the best thing I could do for her was to raise her knowing she'd be able to live without me. Love your wisdom and observations. Nature is indeed the best teacher!

I just turned 54 a couple of days ago. 3 years ago l thought I had been through the fire and had it all figured out - US Marine, combat, seen things worse than any horror movie, PTSD. at that time I had overcame and was doing great and have been doing so for years. Then suddenly about 3 years ago my wife, the mother of our son, walks out suddenly, without a word, on both of us. Threw him and me for a loop. I worked with him & lovingly held his feet to the fire. He’s better, going to college like he always wanted to do. Thanks for your videos, the confirmation of others going through the same thing helps. Working on myself now again.

    Thank you Dewayne. I'm 22 and have felt pretty lost for a while now because honestly I'm definitely one of these babies that need to face life and walk it off. I forgive my parents for their shortcomings but understand that even though they're kind good honest people sometimes that gentle comfort isn't what one needs, it prevents the important lesson of struggling and proving your worth to yourself. I want to make a change and grow into the man I know I can be, and I know it's going to be tough but tough is just what I need. I'm gonna do it, even though right now it feels scary for me to suck it up and move on with my life I'm promising to myself that I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get back up, and fail, and get back up again.

Now I have to try and face the grief of my mothers death and the loss of the main popsicle provider in my life. It's been a rough two years but I have also felt that having that seemingly eternal motherly comfort being snatched from you is what is making the man in me starting to grow for real.

      Thank you for your responses guys, hope ya'll are doing well. I've had my fair share of setbacks these last couple of months and won't bore with details and self-pity, but I finally got a job and feel like it will really help with accountability. It's not a great job, it's just a job and I'm taking it as such, an opportunity to exercise commitment. It's the first step to becoming consistent, just putting in the effort and showing up when you're supposed to and doing what you're supposed to, every day. I don't have much else to say other than for the first time I feel the need of putting my free time to use and build better habits, not just wait around and starie at my phone or following whatever flimsy impulse I have until it bores me. Time is all we have and I'm finally learning that, I won't lie down and wait for things to happen. So yeah.

      Just make sure if you fail, you dont stop. Recenter, analyze what/why/how things went wrong, find at least one solution and most importantly ACT. Failing to get back on the horse can lead you down the road of stagnation and eventually towards focusing on regrets and "what could have been", unless you nip it in the bud. You'll fail. Everyone does. It's part of being human, but what we do after failure that is often times more important than any success we could have achieved on that particular goal. Tenacity, or determination if you will, will take you further in life than most any skill or mindset out there.

    I feel this was going wrong with my mom. She always wanted attention for her struggles. If you didn’t had time she would get angry and acting out way worse with self harm and push it into your face and told you look what you have done. If she hadn’t someone to talk to for a few hours she then complained that everyone let her down. Had many sleepless nights while growing up because she needed full time attention. If there was something with me? She had it worse. I felt burned out all the time. After I quit contact. She got way worse after grandma died. The burden got 10 times worse. After I said no she broke my hand out of spite. Because she wanted to take the things I love away. I love to draw and playing music.
    After that I thought this was the last straw. I packed up everything and was on my way. Lived in a squatting home. And she got worse and trying to contact me and control me. I kept saying no because it wasn’t helping to help her. She doesn’t wanted to learn how to stand on her own feet. After a while she started using heroine. And blamed everyone that she started using. Because people didn’t help her enough. At that time people finally started to understand what the burden was to he her full time care taker. Because at first they got angry at me for letting her down. Eventually everyone let her down because it was a full time job.
    It got to a place that she kept on nearly killing herself for attention. And blamed everyone that they weren’t in time to stop her. That nobody quited their job to lay next to her and comfort her full time.
    Eventually she died by abusing her body way to much for attention.
    It’s a pretty sad story. But sadly a true one. Some people you can’t helpt without losing yourself. And I’m still learning to let people go down that path.
    It’s not helpful to push yourself to oblivion for helping someone. People need to learn it sometimes the hard way. Sometimes they need you out of there lives to grow. And that is hard. And sometimes it goes wrong. But it isn’t your fault. Nobody is made to save the world. Sometimes kindness is accepting that it is what it is.
    I needed to save myself. Get myself in to therapy. And grow. I also needed to do it on my own. Because nobody can help you with the internal struggle, only someone can save their selfs.
    There is a different between supporting and enabling. It’s a fine line between them. And it ain’t easy. Life isn’t easy. And that is also the beauty in it.

    Interestingly Germany has begun removing a lot of the safety practices and regulations surrounding school playgrounds. For effectively this exact reason. To allow kids to develop strength and the natural sense of danger. They do obviously still maintain structural regulations (meaning they aren’t gonna let a school build something that’s gonna fall apart) but a lot of the other helicopter parent regulations are being removed
