"I know how powerful it is for a boy to see that his mother is loved, because that's how he's going to treat his wife."
Crying. Preach. Amen.
Kaysha Ainayya I cried so much at that part. I'm not even an emotional person
Kaysha Ainayya That's when I started crying!
Kaysha Ainayya i cried so much at this part
Kaysha Ainayya I didn't cry am I a soulless potato 😂😂
Keeley Barrnett i didnt either lol
This type of maturity is what the world needs more of 👌😁

Naima Hersi it's so rare...we need more
Naima Hersi where is the love? the love... the love..
Yes! But unfortunately my boyfriends baby mama was going to blackmail him and I.
Naima Hersi definatley!
I’m crying my eyes out watch this - he is so blessed to have 4 parents that love him so deeply and respect and appreciate each other 🙏🏾❤️👏🏾
NurtureInChrist so sweet.
get a grip
NurtureInChrist that what really make my tears comes out dear
A child has TWO parents. That’s it.
I dont even have 1,, Smh.......
This is the 1st time I've EVER seen a blended family that looks and acts like mine (minus the instruments). I LOVE my son's stepmother for the way she LOVE'S our son. When my son woke up on his 9th Birthday he came straight to my bed, laid next to me and said he'd never love someone else more than he loves me. I said "awwwwww, baby me too"! Then he wasted no time asking me if he could call his step mother mom.... I cried almost immediately. ONLY because my son has ADHD and is SUPER DUPER HYPER. MOST ppl can't handle it, and make him feel like he's a bad kid... including some of his teachers. This makes him assume that most adults just dont like him or want to be around him. So, when he experienced the opposite reaction from her, it made him feel like he was loved and accepted by someone other than ME. At that moment I knew that she was a blessing to him, his father and I. I happily told him OF COURSE BABY..... WHATEVER IS IN YOUR HEART.
Wow...your family is amazing
Racquel Le'Andra omg this brought water works.
You are amazing and your son is so blessed to have you ♥️ Many blessings.
That is beautiful. Btw, look up the attributes of a genius they are similar to ADHD "symptoms"
Racquel Le'Andra you should write her a letter like this
This is why I always argue when people say parents should stay together for the sake of the kids. If the parents aren't getting along, but divorce could give the kid a loving family like this (and like mine), then it should be an option. And I know that unfortunately not all divorced or blended families are like this, but I firmly believe that it's not because of the divorce in those cases. It's because of the people.
+Cassidy Parker Knight when people say stay together for the sake of the kids i'm pretty sure they mostly mean if the relationship is damaged but still repairable. I think it's just to say try a little harder for the kids since although a lot don't have this but, a two parent household is the norm. Also every child is different and handles situations in different ways, so it's basically saying just keep your child's feelings in mind when thinking about divorce.
+Daisy Long the selfish thing is to put your child through misery because you dont believe in divorce. your child should never think a norm relationship is fighting and mistreating. after 4 years of staying for my child I decided I was worth more then lies, & cheating.. my son is great and his step dad is his best friend. you are right we will all issues but you should not be unhappy.
+Daisy Long people change. you go through different stages before you settle into who you truly are. my son was not planned and before you throw the you should've used protection, I did and it became detatched. so how bout you shut your judgemental trap. its awesome when parents can stay together but if they cant its wonderful when you find someone who loves your child as much as you do.
This is so true! My parents are divorced and it's hard on me, but that's not because of the fact that they're split up, it's because unfortunately my mum continues to be toxic about it. All I want is for both my mum and dad to be happy, but they won't let that happen. And yet despite this I'm so glad they're not together, because as broken as my family is, it would be more broken if they were. Thanks for commenting this, because it's a really important message, and thanks soul pancake.
+Cassidy Parker Knight I could not agree more. My parents divorced too and I often wish that there was some sort of relationship like this. My experience has taught me that should I marry someone who is divorced with kids, I'd make sure I treat them with love and respect that I did not receive from my step-parent. You are right, its the people who make things work.
For a moment there, it seemed like the biological father was about to ask the step-dad to be his dad too
Im dead😂😂😂
Alexander Millar hahha
LMAO!!!
lmfao
Alexander Millar 😂
This should be shown everywhere as an example of adults caring the most about their child’s happiness. Great watch 👍🏻
Kamila Whiteman yes they should , dats how Iam I have stepdaughter but like d man said I don’t say dat , I say she my daughter n she ok with dat
@Victor Rodriguez what do you mean? because they didn't stay with the 1st guy? There's a lot happening in life that could lead to that. Life isn't that simple. Hope you get chosen by a woman with great decision making skills and you live happily ever after.
The maturity, humility and selflessness of these people are humbling and inspirational to me ! Thankyou
Teacher: Who do you stay with?
Boy: with my parents
Teacher: Both of em?
Boy: Yeah, all four of them.

Lucky kid, he's got 4 parents and they all genuinely love him.
T Allen Some people have 4, others have none. Fvcked up world.
Ya Yo Kra fo sho
T Allen I have 1
Talent Johnson as of my 16th birthday a few days ago on the 10th, I lost my father...I only have 1 now
TheAwesomeguy559 I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️
Yup. I totally cried through this AND watched it a second time just to make sure that what I saw... Was ACTUALLY what I thought I saw. This is love the right way! Nack is the centre of that family. And this is how it should be. Children should be allowed to be children instead of worrying about divorce. Perfect example of co-parenting.
Sydney Syd, I really appreciate what you said about children being allowed to be children instead of worrying about divorce. You seem to embody the happiness and good nature our world needs more of. If you're interested, we'd love to show how we're building something similar at Garlew. - your friends at GARLEW
@@markthompson1084 hey Mark, I've just re-watched this video because I absolutely love it. And looked down in the comments to find your response. I'd love to know more. Please reach out when/if you read this. THANK YOU x
I love the dads relationship💯 #thatshowyoudoit #realmen
Moesha if you're not a man then how are you gonna say what a real man is
Outlaw well there’s someone in the comment section that’s a man saying that’s a real man too
@@outlaw3440 bc a real woman should only accept a real man, and to do that she needs to know what one is 👌
Lynne Acevedo ok ill give you that. But if its that way its visa versa
1000 subs with no videos I have biased feelings towards that. My parents split when I was 10 and my step dad tried to act like the guy in the video. And I did what my real dad told me to do. I told him he's not my dad and I dont have to listen to him. I'm 19 now and am greatful my dad told me to do that. My point is step parents should respect the child's real parents and leave the parenting to them
it takes a real man to cry to another man
Shut yo sensitive ass up
Hippopotamoose 😂😂
Hippopotamoose Hahahahahhaha this got me dead bro.
I officially am gay for hot crying black men and I'm not even gay!

this case is so rare
But it's beautiful and shows the possibility
Erik Leidecker ikr
Erik Leidecker as a product of divorced parents, seeing this, I'm not sure whether to think this is normal or not, because a lot of my friends and their step parents and parents are tight, but mine could not loath the other more :(
Erik Leidecker I'm lucky to have a step father like him. He's been raising me since I was 7 and I am now 17. Much love.
sadly, i couldn't agree more..
I love this is pure kindness,most people are jealous of their ex’s spouse but they admire them and are grateful for them .
Not really
The ones that do are awesome but I don't thing it's most. I think it's pretty rare. Most either quietly resent, pretend they don't exist, or stir up drama.
I wouldnt say jealous a much as in you can't say much and the state favors the mother so whatever mom wants mom gets even if its to the detriment of the kids/alienated parents.
Do *not* tell me otherwise until you wear my boots.
None of us were told growing up how our families can be played into the drama as well.
I do not sleep well nor do I speak much. At this point I haven't seen my kids in two months and nobody cares except them and I.
Edit: yes this was hard to watch. Especially when these situations are like ogres and onions.
why would i be jealous of a dude that recycled my old trash from my old trash can with my extra baggage ...did you see his new wife compared to his pink haired ex with baggage????? nothing to be jealous of when you upgraded like that lol
My step-mother made damn sure my father had nothing to do with me and my brother...and he complied!! It's amazes me that there can be step parents like mine, and like this! THIS is the way it should be!!
Angie Vano oh same story here, your not alone ❤️ x
Same
Same. And I miss my old dad.
Angie Vano mine like dat 2 he thinks he could control me and shii and i cant say nun abt it
My stepdad made sure i had nothing to do with my real dad. Sure enough my mom mostly complied
So my father left me and my mother when I was 2 DAYS old - at the hospital. They were law students then and were supposedly in love, problem is, my mother didn't know that he already had a pregnant girlfriend in the province. So he left to go back to his other baby momma and left us. When I was 3 my mom met her life partner, and I also met the man who would be more of a father to me than my actual father. I have never once felt that I wasn't his child even though we wern't related by blood. We were related by the bond of family and love and that was already more than enough - sure as hell more than what my real father gave me. when I was in High School my father got in touch wih me again, and I figured what the hell, family is family so just forgive. Sometimes I feel like my real father underappreciates my stepdad so much when he should be so embarrassed that my stepdad was raising me while he was off to batman knows where. My stepdad sometimes becomes insecure since my real dad is now a lawyer and can give me more than what my stepdad can. I just want my stepdad to know he is not my stepdad, he's my real father and nothing would ever amount to the love and care he has given me while growing up. Gonna write a letter and tell him how grateful i am, that because of him I never felt like I lacked something because my biological dad wasn't there. So here's to stepparents. ♡
Fangirl Faye . Wow, if you let your dad ( the one that raised you ) see this post , I think it would make him the prowdest happyest dad in the world! Thank you for being greatful and caring enough to let him know ! So many take things forgranted ( sorry for my bad English spelling ) and we humans can do so mush for eshothers espeshaly if we know that we are aprishiated .
I went through the same thing and it is true that your dad ( the MAN that raised you) is going to feel insecure. That's normal but you need to reassure him of your feelings. On your biological fathers case , mine actually got back together with my mother so he feels this "relief" like he can just brush off what he has done. It's really weird but as long as you know who loved and raised you, I'm sure you'll be alright ! Much love ❤️
That is so nice, I bet it will make him very very happy. I got married at 24, my husband already had two kids 9 and 11 years old. people don't realize how hard it is for stepmoms and stepdads. I wish their mom could have gotten past the differences she had with their dad so that we could have made things easier for the kids. I loved them with all my heart and the hardest thing for me was to pull back from them at a certain point because their mum was making them feel bad and guilty for loving me and enjoying their time with me, she made them feel like they were betraying her. Today those two kids are all grown up and I can honestly say I hope I was a little ray that made them feel a little more comfortable if not a little more happy. I have two kids of my own now a 10 years old and a 4 years old, and I have promised myself if me and their dad decide to go our seperate ways I will do everything I can in my power to be nice to the new woman that would come in their life. See knowing my husband I have no doubt that he would bring a bad person on his kids life, because he loves them, and that is what we have to keep in mind...
Fangirl Faye damn wish I could relate. Dad left me and my mum when I was 1. My mum started serial dating and introducing every single guy to me, regardless of the seriousness of their relationship. She finally got married 2 years ago after knowing the guy for a month at most. He treats me like I don't exist, and it feels like I'm living in a house with strangers. Luckily I'm moving out next year but it just sucks that I never had a father figure and my mum was always seeking attention from men so I never had a strong relationship with her either.
Fangirl already tearing up from video now he you go lol.He would love the letter.
This. This is how it should be.
shevonnie salmon I wish my parents would do this (they just finalized their divorce :( )
shevonnie salmon isn't like that for me
shevonnie salmon them working through and remaining together or not working it out but remaining separate is how it should be.......it's a contridiction to say God blessed them with new spouses after a divorce when those things are not in the will not God marriage us a ONE TIME covenant scriptures are clear about divorce and remarriage I pray that people will not continue to be deceived
Fr, you're aspiring for broken marriages.
There is no god.
THIS is how co-parenting with adults is supposed to be! Not all that jealousy nonsense like most of us deal with. 👏🏽💜
“At some point we stopped watering the plant...” wow
Such endearing video . there is a lot of broken homes, and this video is showing us that it doesn't need to be broken. Families can be United. Unity of the world will start at the home.
+Sina Serati well said indeed!
Do you knoooow what YOUR man is thinking? twitter.com/ab4430b5907a80421/status/822777194636152832
Is that Tyler the creators dad
When i first seen him thats who i was thinking of hahahaha
The part were the dad and step dad were talking got me
PagBrothersGaming yea me too i cryed
Same
Imagine having 4 parents who love & care for you?! Beautiful
nope I rather have my two parents then another additional 2 .
I wouldn’t want to have any extra parents, no matter how they’re trying to frame that in this video.
sakurakou2009 exactly
Na
This is so beautiful.
Yeah my stepmother resented me. She let it be known that she wished I wasn't part of the picture and that she wished it we're just her, my dad, and their kids minus me. Seeing this video made me cry. I would've done anything to have a loving family like this.
So what happened in the end?
Owow Photoshop her face out of the photo and add yours instead!
(jk but fr sorry to hear that, that's inappropriate for a stepparent to say)
I'm sorry you went through that. How she treats you is a reflection of her, not you. I bet you're an awesome person, I bet going through that you've learned how to treat people and it's better than that.
I literally have this same dynamic now, find it very challenging...
Ugh what I wouldn’t give to be close to my bonus kids (step kids). This gives me hope but not sure if I should have hope.
Oh I love my step dad. I love him more than my real dad. I didnt accept him at first but he was a trooper. He is the only parent that went to my PTA meetings. Took me to and from sleepovers, picked me up from school sick. Drool and snotted all over him as he rub my back while I had a very bad upper respiratory infection. Took me to the hospital as I had a hard time breathing. Held me as I cried over my first heart break. Taught me how to drive. Never once did he tell me he my dad or that I was his daughter. He didnt have to, he just showed it. I gladly call him dad cuz he earned it.
Aww that is touching❤
this made me cry. im so glad you have someone like that for you. that's so pure:')
That is so awesome
this teared me up. thank you
mitsukipuki
Love how the men showed their emotions more than the women
Jekku Kepponen yup. That's also what I thought.
Get glasses, the other step mom cried.
I think it's because men are so reserved with their emotions, that when we see another man starting to get emotional, we know how it feels, and we drop all the bullshit and form this sort of connection. It's like a brotherhood with all of us.
Julie Ann i know but they still showed their emotions more.
Julie Ann He never said that the women didn't show any emotion at all. I think you need glasses if you can't read a comment properly.
I’m going through a divorce and i pray that when the day comes I’ll have the same love and respect for my sons stepfather as this man.
Stepparents.......People that STEP up to be a PARENT!!!
Much Love to you all and to all parents as well! STAY STRONG
This is how it should be when parents divorce. No anger just love. Kids are so much more important than hating your ex or their new partner.
Ali McNew IKR too bad most relationships aren't like this... ☹️
Ali McNew ya, too bad it's not😂
Ali McNew I totally agree
Ali McNew Tell tht to romans bitchy ex wife
Ali McNew
yes :(
What's warped is that THIS is how exes should treat each other. Put the positivity, and the child first. THIS is RIGHT, and the peer pressure to hate, the trend of jealousy, is WRONG.
You said it spot on, you don't have to like your ex and their partner, but just get along for the sake of the children.
My parents are multiplive cheap and annoying
Clobbersaurus I mean, some people come from abusive relationships, like my parents. It is an ideal situation, but there is a reason parents get in these situations in the first place... some people don’t want to be parents even, after they separate from the other parent.
It is a beautiful statement and dream, but a lot of the time not the case.
Clobbersaurus why would anyone put someone else's child before their own that's just not how it works. reality is different and that's how we were born. no blood connection no unconditional love!!!
I disagree with you, EatwithmeASMR. There's plenty of counterexamples to this: many adopted children, or children in reboud families, have the unconditional love of their parents, and many biological parents don't provide unconditional love - think of parents who are abusive to their child, or who throw them out because they're gay (which is litteraly putting the condition of being straight to their parental love...). So, you can't equate blood connection and unconditional love, because obviously, one can exist without the other, and having one doesn't guarantee the other.
This took me out. “Black men loving Black men is a revolutionary act!” Joseph Beam
if this isn’t the furthest thing from how my life with step parents is. this little boy is so unbelievably lucky to have all 4 parents that are mature enough to put aside the stigma of step parents and just bond for their love of him. wow, i’m just breath taken. i pray one day my parents can learn to love like this.
I never want to experience divorce. :(
So dont marry, cause marriage only has two endings and they both start with the letter D.
+izumocore my dirty mind made me think the second one was dick but then i realized its death :(
+TManChristian 100% of divorces start with marriages. Facet
+WaterMalone unless it is for a tax cut/benefit or a green card/equivalent for hetrosexual males there is no logic in marrying. I am 33 and most likely will never marry and yes i have a child ( but no marriage required)
+izumocore whatever Scrooge
my dad and stepdad would have killed each other in the first five minutes lol
Hunter Leger my dad and my step dad became good mates, they used to go fishing together and everything but he's not my stepdad anymore and he moved away
Hunter Leger Oh no! 😮
Hunter Leger same😂
That's our genetic makeup as men. We often strive to be the alpha and anyone challenging us for that slot become targets. You see it all the time in the animal kingdom and it is obvious in the human race. So it takes an incredibly strong and selfless man to let his guard down to a fellow man and show his softer side. I commend him
Hunter Leger same
Beautiful! This just shows us that it is possible for a step-parent and a real parent to have a good relationship with each other. Tears are falling down from my eyes when they started talking to each other and appreciated all the good things that the step-parent did for the child.
This kind of relationships with mix families, is very rare, its like LESS THAN O.1% in the world.
You're so right. That's why parents have an obligation to think of their kids and not have divorce be an option. It'll always affect kids negatively.
@@concepcionledezma5027 but dumb bitches only think about themselves and believe they're wise enough to make their own choices
Why can’t every divorced family be like this
Because kids shouldn’t be split between families. The parents should have focused on fixing their marriage especially when they already have a child together.
Because that love never goes away, as hard as they try to replace the other partner... that is a lifelong bond no one else can replace
Exactly.. I'm crying because my dad and mom don't get along and they yell at me because of their problems they can't figure out on their one
Andrew Ringquist
But what if being in the family with the two parents causes too pain?
Savage_Darling15 please keep in mind some people are abused so situations like this aren't an option
This is beautiful
I can't find deeper words for this
heart touching
its honestly one of the most beautiful videos on yt
SpicyTheTaco I agree
sheep
This was so beautiful. It made me tear up before they had their face to face with each other. That was so lovely what the dad said to the step dad.😢☺
This is when 2 parents are both respectful, considerate, devoted and there is no abuse. Extremely rare.

You all this is just 5 min.I don't think they are perfect in real world.lol
This is so lovely wish we all could be like this so the children involved in divorce are not torn apart !
So much respect for all of them. That boy, together with all his other siblings are loved above and beyond. Beautiful family.
I'm so grateful God gave my mother a husband after my father left and he gave me an amazing step dad who I believe was meant to be my father all along.
this is great. my biological dad isn't really a dad but I was able to have a man in my life that I consider my dad. he was amazing and he was supposed to be my dad all along. unfortunately he passed away. I miss him.
im sorry to hear that, im hglad you got to have that though RIP
Bria R. I'm glad that you & jordansmom143 were able to have great stepdads. There are so many horror stories out there that they get a bad rap.
Bria R. Sometimes that happens. Your put on the would then fate brings the right family to you. I hope u have a amazing life with your mother and father.
Bria R. Omg this is exactly my life to ! Xx

Rico Recklezz Ey boy..... U aint Rico. Dont fxkin take his name ya got it?
That part where the dad says he's thankful for showing his son how his mother is to be loved... that was purely deep.
As a child of divorce that was (and still is contentious), I really appreciate videos like this. Divorce, with children, is something I do think people need models for and help navigating. The parents set the tone of the family dynamic that truly effects children who are put in the middle and can put the stepparents in awkward situations and situations they may not be well-equipped for. I think if more divorced parents learn to put their best foot forward, try to battle the natural jealousy and resentment, and learn to build a healthy, nurturing, and supportive environment for their kids and teach them how to accept positive stepparents who are good partners AND are making good faith efforts to be part of their stepchildren's lives, then these blended family dynamics can do a lot to teach children and help them grow into healthy and positive adults. I mean having four adult figures (assuming they're good people) guiding you as you grow up can be very beneficial.
This is what happens when educated, loving, intelligent people co-parent, this was a blessing to watch, good for all of them.
how can people thumb down this video. must be bitter people.
people who didn't listen to the story but only saw interracial relationship perhaps
When my parents got divorced it was the opposite of this. My mom and at that time step mom were okay with eachother but my dad hated my stepdad. I will say that this video did upset me because I didn't have this but I'm happy that that kid is going to grow up with so much love in his life. I wish them the best.😊
Mahagony1985 same my dad hates my stepdad and it's hard cuz I feel like I am betraying my dad by also loving my stepdad even though I love them both
Shayan Abtahi I read yours and the other people above you's posts and it makes me feel so sad, because I also can relate. I'm angry bc I always wanted what the little boy has. And be able to see my parents in the same room together at least once, bc I never have, I was 1 when they divorced and the wars between them began, but this also makes me so happy because that boy will grow up with love and he will be one of the lucky few who maybe won't have to deal with depression or feeling of emptiness not having a certain parent in his life or growing up around so much hatred. This video was so amazing❤️ makes me certain my kids will never have to grow up In a household with divorced parents, and if they ever did, I would be certain there is no hatred.
My BF is divorced with a son of 11 yrs old. The kid lives with his mom. I am going to be a step mother too in the future. I am unsure about how the kid will take it. I only want him to be happy. What would a boy of this age expect from all this situation? What advice will you give to a step mom?
They found the perfect couple- you can feeel the LOVE with them
So much respect to the parents for their MATURITY. It could all be so beautiful and peaceful if folks just acted maturely.
F this. this made me cry. I'm a proud stepdad
iSaiah Freehling Proud Dad
Don't rape that kid
And what made you come out of your face to say that?
Well, I wasn't expecting to cry.... but i did 😂😭💙
Lali F. Me too 😂
Oh Wait. W
Lali F. truss
Lali F. I didn't even know I was crying until I felt the tears on my legs 😭😭😭
Lali F. Sameeee I'm like crying an ocean
What being a true adult is all about, and how putting the kids first is always number one. I love this. The fathers almost made me tear up. Had great “stepparents” growing up. And I miss them.
I wasn't as lucky to have this kind of love from the man my mother married. I'm so grateful that this young man does have it. All children deserve it.
This is about loving your children. These parents are awesome.
as a step parent myself, this is by far one of the most inspiring and loving videos i have ever seen. My step daughters father came to me one time and thanked me for everything i ever did for his daughter. That was truly one of the best moments ever in my life.
WAIT I just want to know where she found all these fine black men lol
Black men are so beautiful
😂😂😂
I'm right here
I found my strong passionate loving black man online. I've heard horror stories from some woman but online dating was a great experience for me. Be the type of woman you'd want to be with if you were a man and your frequency will attract awesome men.
@Jake DeSander. 😂🤣😭
This needs to be on TV as a series!!!!! People need these examples.
Any man can be a Father. It takes a real man to be a Dad.
Zstray17 i think its the other way around but i agree
The two words are synonyms...
Lauren. i know but I'd rather have a father than a dad. A dad to me can be anyone around a child but a father is someone who takes care of that child even if they are not blood related. but thats just me lol
Zstray17
you have that saying backwards.
any man with a dick can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father.
straight from tumblr
In a perfect world everyone is a parent of every kid.
Vlad Kostin this is really how I feel
This is how it should be point blank period 😢❤️❤️
This broke me. As a young stepmom, it's amazing to see more families getting along for the kids
Ok, who started cutting damn onions?

OrcaPlayz they should all live in the same house too
polyamorous icons
This just makes me miss my stepdad a ton. He was so sweet, and so dear.
I wish there was more said for step parents of adult children.
These folks are knocking it out out of the park! Respecting each other; kids to parents, parents to kids, parents to parents is how it’s done. Hats off to you all!
Sadly this isn't the majority...
This is .00000001% of step Parents... the biggest issue is they simply want to continue their relationship (Parents) when they are with someone else. So sad, but glad it is working for these people.
When the dad was talking to the stepdad, I broke into tears like crazzzyyy
wow, this is powerful stuff. In a world that seems so divided by hate, it feeds the soul to see such love and respect shown to each other.
This is great but this is not the typical scenario with blended families
Double Amen to that! This video is total fantasy.
FACTS.
I agree, but it's a great example to follow and to reflect on. I myself am a mother of two girls and divorced. When my ex decided to re marry the only thing I could think of is, I hope she is a wonderful women not just for him bit because it meant that my daughters would have someone wonderful too. We just need to stop being self centered and learn to let go of what it's not ours and learn to love unconditionally.
true... i still wanna kill my moms boyfriend
Believe it or not it has and can happen no it doesn’t happen that much but it can better do more research on it because there are cases that everyone gets along
My divorce was final November 16th. My ex husband bringing a woman around our son has been an extreme struggle for me. There are so many different feelings involved in something like this. This video helped open my eyes. ❤
I wish my parents had sat down like this and did this. I had a tough time growing up because of so much tension and fighting :(
Helene Im 12 years old and i've been a victim of over 5 divorces. stay strong💪
+evoevolution aww man I'm so sorry you had to go through that in your life💔
Helene me too . But between my grandma and mom because they both raised me
I agree, I dread the day i ever get married, will end up being the worst day of my life because of parent conflict.
So beautiful to see grown men cry with so much joy....bless them.
I love this. I grew up like this somewhat. Accepted and loved by multiple parents bot to mention grandparents,aunts ,uncles and cousins. I wish my children had this. So much love and support holidays and graduations were huge.
This kid is so lucky to have these people around him. amazing video
I told my two now grown ex-step daughters (who I always refer to as my daughters) that one of the proudest moments of my life was when their bio-dad came to see me to tell me how much he appreciated my being in their lives. What a wonderful thing for a father to say and another father to hear.
I'm so grateful for my step-dad for giving my mom a second, much better chance at love and my family a great amount of happiness. They started dating when I was a senior in high school (I'm 22 now) and I was a little cautious at first. My dad wasn't exactly the best husband to my mom and he left her when she needed him the most (he asked for a divorce right after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis). My mom never really wanted to be married again, and was happy on her own. I didn't want her to be hurt again when a new man came into her life. But quickly I found him to be supportive, kind, and always able to put a smile on our faces. He's disabled too (Ataxia), but it definitely hasn't stopped him from taking care of my mom when she isn't feeling her best. Unlike my dad, he takes her out on dates, goes on fun trips with her, and is always happy to try new things. I can't remember the last time I saw her so happy, and it feels like I've got a true father figure to look up to now. He's helped me through bad times, is always there for me, and is patient, emotionally open, and happy to talk (things my dad never was). I remember how much his face lit up the first time I gave him a father's day card. He may not be my actual dad, but it feels like we're a real family. I'll always be so thankful for the light he brought back into my mom's life.
Absolutely beautiful video! I had a horrible stepmother (I never knew my biological mother) and now I'm a stepmother myself, trying to navigate this life and simultaneously face my own trauma from my childhood. My SD's mom currently wants nothing to do with my SO and I but she does let him see his daughter whenever he wants. Maybe one day we can have a sit down like this. I'm not holding my breath though
Soul Pancake is just one of the best things one could add to his or her life. EVERY video is so so worth watching, rewatching, and sharing. Thanks guys
+Sundancekat because there isn't enough mindless kum-ba-yah on youtube already.
but whatever it takes to keep the bad and evil reality out, i guess...

That was just AWESOME, Made me cry. Why can't the world be this way. Makes life easier for everyone!!!
Wishful thinking for me.. I could only pray that one day our blended family could be this way. amazing. thank you for this video.
oh wow that's like the ideal divorce
sadly that's not always the case
my best friend's dad basically abandoned her, because he found a new woman, who has kids.
he's gonna marry that chick and kick out my best friend. his own, 17 year old daughter.
apple crumble happened to me happened to my sis now happening to my little sis shes 9 sadly... this is ideal saaaadlllyyy
apple crumble
That thing is not a human that is an animal.
happened to me too except at the beginning it was literal physical abandonment and now we're all living together and it's emotional abandonment bc he's more invested in her feelings and keeping her from throwing tantrums than anything else
sad divorce to decent people shouldn't need a divorce. It splits the fam. When there is harmful disfunctions we need a divorce. its sad in this case. glad they get along but it is sad.
This made me cry... man the dad was really genuine and very impressive to see him have so much respect and admiration for the stepdad.
The parents are filled with good energy and it is what got them these wonderful new partners. Divorce almost always ends up hurting the kids involved, but in this case this kid is truly blessed to have such a loving extended family. I am in awe how they managed to push away these negative totally natural feelings of envy and insecurity and see the past it to appreciate each other.
Soul Pancake for the Christmas Eve tears!
THE DAD PART
This is how "adults" do blended! Let the issues with your ex go and just focus on loving your new, bigger family💗💗💗 It takes a village to raise a child and we are all children- the raising up never truly stops👏👏👏
It's so beautiful to see people that act like adults and get along it makes for a beautiful family💟💞
When I look at this family, I feel a kind of envy. My parents got divorced when I was 7, my younger sister was just born, my older brother 9. My parents never fought in front of us, they never gave us a hint that there may be something wrong. And then my father moved out and everything turnt. I don't remember anything concerning my family/family events/my mom/my dad/my siblings before the divorce. Everything is just "after". They never talked properly to each other, they had to go to court for alimonies. I guess they also sort of played us. My father more than my mom. Shortly after the split up he had found a new girlfriend, who he still is with today, and my mom never found anyone. I guess she wasn't ready when they were getting married and she feels like it is now too late to "catch up". Now has been 14 years ago by the way. I remember sitting on the couch with my father and talking about everything that was going on at the time and he said "I still love your mom -this much-. But my new girlfriend I love --THIS MUCH--." That was one of the toughest things to get. How could he say he still loved her, but treat her the way he did? When I was 11 I stopped talking to him, I stopped seeing him, I stopped calling him dad. That went on for a couple years and at 15 we began talking again. Just a little bit. When I graduated from High School and went abroad for a year our contact became something I even relied on. When we were talking about my mom he always sounded so full of pity. "Isn't it so sad that she hasn't found someone?" is what he would tell me. Over and over. Still does. Just words it differently.
Sometimes I wish my parents would have been "normal people". They are both so messed up and messed me up a bit too. No big deal, since everyone is, but it still is really bittersweet to hear about a story like this. Even if the parents have their issues, they make their child's life comfortable and comforting. They know how important it is to let him breathe, but still give him the comfort of a loving family. A family that expands beyond his biological mom and dad. It's a real success story.
Sorry about the ranting, I just really felt it tonight.
Anna Charlotte I swear your story is so much like mine, except it's been 20 years and my mom still hasn't found anyone. I know what you mean about feeling a bit damaged from the divorce and envious of the family in the video. I wouldn't wish my situation on anyone but...I'm glad I'm not alone.
the stepmom reminds me of annika from the show empire
Myklo Alias yaaassss!!!!
same
Myklo Alias omg I was thinking the same thing
Child yesss. I had to blink my eyes a few times cause I don't have my glasses on
This is exactly how my family functions. We can have all of them together in our home for every holiday and everyone communicates and parties like nothing ever happened. That emotion is real in this video and hits home in every way.
This is so beautiful to watch. And the man cried, aww!
my parents and step parents would never do this they hate each other they say they don't but they really do I truly wish my parents did this... when I get married I will never put my kids through what my parents put me through.
Mybparents don't argue anymore but what really sucks is all the stories even some that i can remenber because i was there,and the thing that really suck is that i love them equally and that my mom keep saying bad thing anout him,and i don't even know what to think for if he deserve it or not,and i huess there isn't any answer,also when i hear that all other students in my class that their parentd are married and i say that mine are divorced and once some people asked me if ot was not hard and i said that i was maybe 4 when it happened do in fact i don't even remnber or just sligtly how it was before,i'm not bad about it but it just suck.
Funny Everlasting Skits .
SCP-087 just remember it is perfectly normal for them to not get along, when relationships (especially a marriage) end there will always be certain feelings that "muddy the waters" so to speak, but it is also perfectly normal for you to love them both, when you get older ask both of them for there sides of the story, and come to your own conclusion. My father abandoned my family when I was two, and for most of my life no one would speak about him except for in negative ways, so when I moved out at 18 I tracked him down, and started talking to him, eventually I got his side of the story and found his reasoning for leaving to be inadequate, and I hated him for the longest time, but as I got older I began to realize that I couldn't go around holding on to that hatred, it was ruining my life. So I did the only thing I could think of, i tried to forgive him; except I never got the chance as he committed suicide before I could. Now everyday I feel horrible for how things turned out, and i wish I had just one more chance to see him and tell him that I forgive him. I guess the point I'm trying to make is whoever was at fault for the divorce, you don't have to hate them for it, as in my experience that is no way to live. Love your family with every ounce of your being, as they're the only one you have, and this is the only shot at life we get.
Markus Seiler thank you,pretty sad story...
SCP-087 my only hope is that others can learn from my mistakes, life is too short for trivial things like hatred, thank you for taking the time to read my story, and if you ever need to talk about things, I'm sure your family is there for you, and if not myself and/or others like me are always there when needed. Have a great day and DFTBA.
I am grateful! When my parents got divorced they stayed in same house in different rooms with their 6 children just bc they wanted to stick with us even tho it's hard to see you ex husband/wife everyday and I don't know how difficult it was for them but they did it for us and I really appreciate that!!! I am not going to deny that there were couples of fights, argues and disagreements but after all we became so strong and so successful and well raised by these two !!! In 2008 my dad passed away I miss him! And now me and my brother are staying with my mom and our oldest brothers and sisters are married having kids ! Life just goes up and down and you have to stay strong and positive!!
