    I wish I could have seen my mom for Mother's Day, but my husband had broken my ocular floor and I couldn't even touch it to try to cover it up with makeup, and the depression made me unable to get out of bed. Hearing that you made it through your depression gives me strength and hope for a glorious future. Thank you and God Bless 🙏

    Happy Mother’s Day to your mom and Paula, Cassidy and Heather. Also, to all the people who are nurturing and compassionate and ‘mother’ others. Not everyone is blessed with a mother that has the capacity to do that, so we all need to be that for each other. ♥️

    my mother raised five children virtually alone. i still don't know how. bought a house, paid for two weddings, college and we never went without. she was and always will be the most amazing person I've ever known. I know you know, but you're beyond lucky to have Paula.

    Hi, Maurice -- my mother and I were not at all close right from the very beginning. I would always try to get her to be more open and loving towards me but she just was not able to because of her father's treatment of her. I wanted so badly for her to give me a hug but she simply wouldn't. This has affected my mental health to this day. I (like you) suffer from anxiety and some moderate depression. Congratulations on your great work for us mental health consumers. I have read your book from cover to cover and could not put it down. I love your character on General Hospital. Sonny is great. You play him to a "tee". Keep up the great work on G.H. and helping people with mental health issues. There is not enough education done.

    My mom passed away from pneumonia unexpectedly. It was very upsetting but it was better for her to have passed that way. She had non-Hodgkins lymphoma which had spread. I miss her so much 😢 I was mommy's little girl. I do wish your wife and mom a very happy Mother's Day 💕 😊

    Love this Mother’s Day Special where you just shot this on the fly. I like the animals and the farm backdrop. Sometimes scripted is not sincere. We can always depend on you to keep it real. Thanks for all you do and the effort you make with awareness to mental health. Happy Mother’s Day to your wife and girls!

      That’s why I like Maureen. He’s so transparent. I think that is why so many people flock to his posts and videos. After watching him on General Hospital with my mom at a year old, he’s always been one of my faves. I don’t particularly like social media, but I think it’s amazing that we can get so close to the people that we have watched on TV or musicians that we listen to the music our whole lives. It’s really unbelievable. I love it.!!

    Maurice thank you this is beautiful I love the way you acknowledge Paula for being her and the incredible mother that she is .I was a single mom in NYC was in 9 homeless shelters with my 2 amazing children and then got sick in and out of operating rooms and wheelchairs for months . It's been 8 years out if homelessness my kids grew up to be incredible human beings they are both married found love at young ages . I always told them that one day it will be okay for us it is now . They are in business together and are very close . It was the 3 of us ..their dad was a alcoholic and drug user . I never gave up battling my own recovery for 40 years and mental illness. We stay strong ❤🙏💪 everyday is a battle I would love o share my experience on your podcast one day. .I need to make a difference G-d bless you and your family

That point you spoke about about how many folks not having that needed support is so true and they need to find someone to help them. What you are doing is so special and so giving. No question about how your helping so many. I know your making difference. Plus thats the gift you are giving to so many in need.

My faith has gotten me through that and subsequently the loss of my father a few years ago. I’m praying for you that God continues to comfort and keep you. God bless you always.

All the talking, but my mom's cheating with me and I thank God for my mom and taught me a lot. You told me she said this will help you stay out of jail. Ask Her what you want and I thank God for my mom. Teaching me that and she's date, a praying mother. I grew up with no sisters and brothers. And use the car. She finally told me she has more kids by first marriage. Thank you but I program today you may lift me up. Happy mother.
    's day. Mom, I miss you so much.

    Hey, wow , I guess I live in my own world lol. I had no idea you are who you are. I had the biggest crush on you in high school. I would go grocery shopping with my mom just to see you. (Farmers Market) I clicked this particular video because of the mothers day theme. It was not a good one this year, my daughter lost the twins that day. Turns out we have the goats in common, I have about 40 of them but one doesn't think she's a goat due to my treating her in like a human. Anyway its good to see you are doing so well.
