What an awesome person and mother Heather is! She's very grounded and what I'd call an "old soul." I love being around people like that. Adorable grandbaby, too. She will have a good life.
You did a wonderful job with your daughter the interview was simply awesome I just love your daughter and love you talking with her continue state of mind I just love it and my name is Betty Betty Smith
Loved this segment. I adopted my 10 year old brother when our parents died. Raised him and two sons. Clearly, I have three sons! A special gift in my life! ❤️. I love the Benard family!! Congratulations Paula and Maurice.
Having a baby is life changing. A breath of fresh air, pure, innocent and lovable. The connection between a mother and a child is so beautiful. She’s an awesome mother.
She's adorable, so smart and likable. That baby girl is beautiful! Taking in a child gives us a lot too. In addition to our children, we took in 2 girls who had a similar home life, middle school friends of my daughters, and raised them. Now young adults doing wonderfully, sometimes I just look at them when life is tough and feel maybe I contributed a little to our world, not changing the world, but making someone's life a little better than it was betters our own lives too.
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. This was my first episode watching State of Mind. I suffer from Panic Disorder and only recently started sharing my story.
I love how sometimes you talk about some of the hard things especially knowing it can truly be the hardest to talk about. Especially when it comes to childhoods. I think you are doing an amazing job with State of Mind.
AMAZING EPISODE YOUR DAUGHTER IS SO BEAUTIFUL REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION IT REMINDS ME OF TALKS I USED TO HAVE MY DAD HE'S PASSED AWAY SO THIS KIND OF BROUGHT ME BACK! THANKS MAURICE FOR DOING THIS I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH!
Oh, so so sweet ♥️ Family is so important and I can see how much you love your beautiful daughter. Thank you for having Heather on today. What a wonderful thing to share your love with a child through adoption. ♥️ Thank God for her life and experience and the great place she is in today. Not to mention, That sweet little baby girl, Eloise. Thank you for sharing your family with your fans. God Bless you, Maurice, Heather, and Eloise and your entire lovely family. ♥️
Love watching and listening to your show. Your daughter Heather is great. When she talks about having her daughter I remember having my two daughters who are now 47 and 46 years of age with families of there own . It is such a great feeling being a patent and a grandparent .❤️
Great interview and the discussion between father and daughter was absolutely amazing. You both are beautiful people! And your adorable granddaughter!!
I can totally relate to her story. I went through the same thing as a child. Coming from parents who have drug addiction has been very difficult for me and it has long term effects I still grapple with.
Thank you for doing all these videos. I suffer from very bad depression and anxiety but the worst thing for me is my social anxiety to the point where my marriage is on the rocks and I have no support system around me. No family no friends and struggling really bad financially. And I’ve been to so many doctors but no one will help me so it’s been really bad and I thank you for posting these so that sometimes I don’t feel so alone.
When you said something on the strength of being better because you got through it, so many people need to hear this because too many believe they won’t make it and unfortunately harm themselves. I always say that life is hard, it’s not supposed to be easy, but coming through it shows your resilience and strength. No matter what you are going through, you are stronger than you think! I pray for those that watched this heard what you said, let it marinate on their brains and believe that they are stronger than they think and know that they will absolutely be okay. No matter how dark your day may seem, the sun shines on us all…
It shows me more about your state of mind. I have a girlfriend who I never understood how, or why she can feel like that, it was so sad, and the medication she has to take for manic-depression, she was always so sad looking, I tried to make her laugh, and she would just smile. My heart goes out to her, because she has it real bad. Thank you for showing me another side.
Your daughter got a beautiful 😍 soul ❤ Maurice been a fan of u since GH as Soony when I started watching General Hospital 🏥 Happy New Years, to u your daughter & your hole family.
Beautiful, loving, intelligent & open minded family. I love how y'all are so honest with each other. Thank you so very much for sharing them with us. 💌🦋
I just saw you, Maurice and your beautiful daughter on the Tamron Hall show! She surprised you in her AF uniform for the first time. It was amazing to see how proud you were of her and how excited she was to surprise you! This video was recommended to me right after and here I am! I am so glad I found your channel.
Never saw you I that state of mind. Adult beautiful daughter and grandpa just like a grandpa to your granddaughter . So beautiful to see! I love you Maurice.
I absolutely love your interview style of just letting the spirit move you and your thought process! It keeps everything real! I also love that you are interviewing your daughter and showing how much you care about her. It's what every parent should do with their kids!😍
Yes, when we are riding the storm, sometimes we feel a bit lost. The encouragement to keep moving forward was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed this conversation with your sweet daughter.
I just started watching you last week and I'm so glad I did. You really have wonderful guest and make it ok to talk about mentally illness. We need more people like you opening up about it. I absolutely loved tonight's show, the love you share with your daughter and granddaughter is so heart warming. Keep up the wonderful work. God bless you and your family always.
What a great privileged interaction! To have the insight to your child's mindset is scary but invaluable. Thankful you have the open relationship & conversation to have these discussions
I enjoy watching you with your family - Heather is such a blessing and Eloise must be pure joy! I have 5 grandchildren. The oldest is 21 and the youngest is 5. Thank you for your focus on mental health. My daughter has anxiety, depression, and bi-polar. She spent nearly 3 years in prison. And now she’s a medical professional. She still struggles, but she’s doing so well. I believe you’re helping to remove the stigma surrounding mental health issues. I have watched GH from the beginning - Season 1, Episode 1 so I have enjoyed watching your skill as an actor for many years. Now, through State of Mind, I’m seeing a different side and I appreciate your transparency about the challenges you face. These conversations help so many people. So I hope you continue with it.
And congratulations on getting picked up, I hope that means a lot more people will be seeing this show I think you're doing great work with this, some of these episodes have comforted me at times
Omg Maurice Heather is such a true joy exudes true beauty like Paula Congratulations on the babies in the Bernard family God Bless you and ask the whole family in so so overjoyed with the State Of Mind and Eloise omg talk about beautiful family happiness always ❤
Great conversation Mo and Heather! I'm the kind of person who is sensitive and prefers my own company. I remember back when I was in high school, every now and then someone would say, "You are so sensitive," and then look at me as if I had a problem. That is when I learned to try and hide the sensitivity and 'roll with the punches'. It's not a bad approach, given the times. Not a good one, though, because there is not one thing wrong with being sensitive. The world is big enough for all kinds of beings. If someone disregards you for being sensitive, simply regard them as being an asshole.
Hey Maurice I'm Jeanis from brooklyn new york and my first time Subscribing to your channel I'm a huge fan of yours on General Hospital .your daughter is gorgeous.u are doing a great job vloging .
That was awesome! It was great to hear you two talk about her childhood, and the adoption. So beautiful 😊. Thank you for bringing Heather on, and Eloise is beautiful 😍 ❤️
Love your daughter Heather!!! She seems so sweet and down to earth!! Very likeable!! I can honestly relate to being in an abusive relationship myself and that trapped feeling and making all kinds of excuses for the abuser just to convince yourself he's really not that bad and it becomes a total mind game of excuses for his bad behavior!! I wasn't physically abused but definitely emotionally abused and constantly threatened by him. As women we seem to always make excuses for the men we are with at the time because out of fear of being left I guess?? Its just a horrible thing to experience and I went through the court issue too but he took me on false charges?? Its ashame because he was once someone I can depend on and thought was easy going but he changed through the years as he got older and he also had some health issues with his heart and cancer too. He started getting all these tattoos too that I didn't like and it seemed like the more tattoos he would get the more verbally abusive he would be?? That's why I really don't like tattoos on a man till this day because of what I went through with him! He became hard cold and threatening and putting me down too! Very bad and I suffered emotionally! Went through it for over 23 years! He just changed for the worst once he had his 1st heart attack and that seemed to make him break? I think he felt like he couldn't function as a man anymore so he took it out on me? As women we are so afraid to be alone and the stigma if your not married too so we try to hold on to something we know is bad but do it out of confusion and all the other excuses that go along with it! Family and friends support is crucial when going through something like that!! Anyway I'm so happy Heather was able to find new love again a better love and that "beautiful" baby they have!!! She is adorable!!! Maurice your very blessed to have such warm loving children and grandchildren along with your wife Paula!! Family means everything and they all seem to adore you too!! You must be a wonderful grandpa!!!! Keep up the good work and these great sit downs with State of Mind! Really enjoying it!!❤❤
Your daughter is a lovely human being - y’all did a great job. What a beautiful grandbaby!
What an awesome person and mother Heather is! She's very grounded and what I'd call an "old soul." I love being around people like that. Adorable grandbaby, too. She will have a good life.
You did a wonderful job with your daughter the interview was simply awesome I just love your daughter and love you talking with her continue state of mind I just love it and my name is Betty Betty Smith
I respect that Maurice Bernard aka Sonny C.your daughter is absolutely a beauty.

Loved this segment. I adopted my 10 year old brother when our parents died. Raised him and two sons. Clearly, I have three sons! A special gift in my life! ❤️. I love the Benard family!! Congratulations Paula and Maurice.
So he adopted heather? Was thinking Bernard had some chocolate in the past.
I like how you and Heather are color coordinated… and I love the chair you’re sitting in there…
Thank you I’ve been wondering about that
Another great state of mind. Your daughter is beautiful. God bless your family Maurice 💙
Having a baby is life changing. A breath of fresh air, pure, innocent and lovable. The connection between a mother and a child is so beautiful. She’s an awesome mother.

Keep doing what your doing. It's nice to know that you care so much about people that are struggling or were at some point in time.
