We tend to forget that boys get touched as much as girls. We dont look for that because of the way we see a victim. We see little girls and up, but many men wont even share their truama. He is a man and he was sexually truamatized and he spoke. Powerful.
Desi Q this guys story is so tragic. He has an intelligence that if raised right he would have done great things. Instead, the people he trusted used him and molded him into almost this monster.
Desi Q the interviewer should give these poor souls a big book a meeting list and there phone number. Tell them to call when they’ve had enough of the alcoholic lifestyle. There are steps that deal with these traumas. Most alcoholics have these traumas in common and we have a solution
Eirik Magnus Larssen it May take number 51 we can’t judge how many rehabs one has been to. I went to many until I got sober January 11 2015. Sometimes people go to the grave because there not willing to change
Sad. My heart goes out to the little boys that had to encounter this sick world. Girls are not the only ones that are molested. Protect our babies at all cost.
I think it is possible to heal from nearly any traumatic experience with counseling and support, but it's certainly not fast or easy - a glib, ignorant statement like "get over it" is not helpful.
Its imperative that he understands that he will never get over it! But as an adult we learn those leasons from those bad experiences and we choose to either allow it to make us or break us. He didnt have a choice when it was happening but he damn sure has a choice now how he handles it.
The honesty, he pushed through the embarrassment, was needed for so many people to hear. Drugs and alcohol definitely help cover the pain of past abuse and if you get the chance to live sober/clean it takes alot of work to feel "normal"in society. From experience living your best life is best revenge. Forgiveness is for you not him. Youll realize the longer you're clean how sick your father was and he's just not capable loving the way you need him too.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT INTERVIEW. THIS MAN IS TELLING YOU MORE THAN HE’S TELLING HIS LICENSED THERAPIST, YOUR PLATFORM IS HELPING WHETHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO VENT, THEIR STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD. YOU’RE SHEDDING A LIGHT ON A WORLD UNSEEN TO SOME PEOPLE FROM MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. ALSO, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS AMAZING, CONTINUE YOUR WORK MARK.
I’m so glad he felt better after talking about it. God BLESS him. I’d love to give him a big long hug and tell him how much potential he has, how handsome he is and how good of a father he has the ability to become. X
This is definitely one of my favorite interviewees. He is a great story teller, these story's are so heartbreaking though I hope he finds some inner peace and makes it far in life.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbellyI was saying hey Maggie this is Luis I have wrote a book title I stand corrected I need you and everyone else on the team with me to come to my book launch I'll let you know later when it's going to be
Cynthia Chavis He's not addicted to his story. He's just expressing a core need that everyone has at different levels: the need to be seen, to be heard. To know that he has the safe space to talk about it and feel that what he went through it's worth being listen to.
This is why the scripture tells us to keep God in our minds at all times, especially when we our under the influence. And it’s important to know our thoughts can be influenced, just because a thought enters your mind, doesn’t mean it came from you.
@@themako990mako9 No your not. He's clearly a product of his upbringing and traumatic things he's been through. Which lead to his drug and alcohol use contributing to his mental health suffering even more.
my heart goes out to him, just goes to show you,the impact of what parents really have on us all frm day dot!. i love it how Mark lets him just talk,without butting in, especailly in this interveiw, even he knows what a great release it is ,just to have someone actually listening ,,really listening to you.without NO judgement what so ever !. i really am looking forward to this mans nxt interveiw,i love it how honest he is, i bet a lot of males can relate to this guys life stories, just that they never be so honest n open about theirs, i wish him all the best in the world. i would love it if his child watched this honest raw interveiw and then understands how he became what he became,and contacted him,and ends up having a lovely relationship with each other.this guy really could do with some happiness in his life!. all the best frm U.K 😊
We are all wounded children at the end of the day. Some of our scars are deeper and some just dont ever heal. God bless him. His pain is written all over his face.
SPOILER ALERT: In the 3rd interview he admits (among other horrible things) that he gave drugs to and molested a 14 year old he was entrusted around. Impregnated her twice. Unsuprisingly her life went down a dark path as an adult. Comments are disabled for that video. His life story as a child is horrible, but... He needs to be prosecuted for what he did. The act is not negated because he had a horrible childhood and that he says he's currently remorseful. He is a threat.
I believe she was actually 13 years old when he got her pregnant. I say this because he said he bumped into her when he picked her up and she was 21 years old. He then went on to say that she showed him a picture of their 8 year old son. So she must have been 13 when she gave birth to their son.
The way he described his attraction towards her and the sexual pleasure was absolutely disgusting. He definitely is not remorseful and needs to pay for his actions.
I don't believe any of that 3rd interview I stopped watching after he "gave the lady the best sex of her life" Louis gets off telling people his sexual fantasies I dont believe anything he says. So you're telling me he was begging for change outside of a grocery store and a beautiful rich white woman feels bad for him and moves him into her beautiful home BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT Louis has serious mental issues
@@muzikspot438 yea man I got that same feeling. He seems like the kind of guy that's really full of shit with a lot of things. Not saying he is not saying he isn't. But I got the gut feeling that he is lying about that. Who in the fuck picks up a panhandler and falls in love with him? Who let's a complete stranger into their house and near their teenage daughter? Idk. Maybe it's true. But it doesn't really seem plausible. But who knows? He could be telling the truth.
I think the first interview scared me, I'm glad he did a second one. I don't think everyone can appreciate what Mark does to help them. If you've ever shared an experience with a therapist you know the feeling of judgement. Speaking to a stranger can have such a dramatic change in the way we can express ourselves. The weight that can be lifted off of a person's shoulders. I hope Louise does many more videos, for him to express the hurt and anger he hasn't been able to share with anyone else. I cried for him, the experiences that he describes and the horrific effect a parent can afflict on a child. God bless him. Thank you Mark.
Here all along I thought the brother had died at only 4 years old, the way the older brother reacted to hearing that music all the time! The older brother was surely traumatized but I'm glad the little dude made it through that horrible accident. God bless!
As a grown man I want to hug this brother with everything I got, his self-esteem issues and internal sensitivities resonates with me so much. Made me shed some damn tears Louis.
Thank you mark for giving people like him a real chance to express they’re emotions & hard times from the pass , when he said “it feels good to just really let this shit out “put a smile on my face because some people are so messed up and just really wanna talk and tell it all 💜
it's heartbreaking how his family failed him. he seems like a decent guy considering what he went through. he just wanted to be loved. so glad you let him keep talking..His tears are heartbreaking.
Wow , this interview is deep! The fact that he back again speaks to the how just sharing his story is therapeutic . Having a platform like this for many of the individuals on skid row is good . These interviews allow them to speak freely w/ out direction or censorship , and just release so much hurt and anger .
So many good decent human beings like Louis, are being literally wasted at a time when their intelligence, survival skills and hard-won wisdom is so badly needed. It's a damn shame. Thanks for giving real people a chance to be heard and to transmit what they've learned to us all in this way.
I appreciate Louis sharing his story hopefully, it opens a lot of eyes. Certain experiences really affect people differently and can have a drastic effect on their lives and how they carry themselves.
I salute you Mark 👋🏽... thank you for helping Louis 😢, I’m so glad you listened to him, that was very therapeutic for him he felt comfortable enough to open up and reveal the deep dark thoughts that he has carried around for years...his life has been painful, I pray that these sessions with you will help him get on track... WOW, just WOW... Blessings To You Louis 〰️🙏🏽🆙〰️
Thank you Louis, for being so brave and sharing your story with us. It's not an easy thing to do but it's the first step in healing the pain. Sending you lots of hugs and healing 🙏💖 I love how eager Louis was to speak with you again, Mark. It's a true sign of the big difference you are making in people's lives. You give them a place to tell the raw, unvarnished truth about their lives, without strings attached, judgment or trying to put a label on them, and that is an opportunity most of your interviewees have never experienced in life. The healing can't begin until all of your skeletons have all been let out of the closet and you provide somewhere safe to do just that. Thank you so much for being you and sharing your work with all of us.
Everything this man's father said to him as a child is really how the father felt about himself.This man needs to realize this.He has been carrying this around with him for to long.
Louis, thank you for sharing Your life. Love yourself like nobody else has. Hug that little Louis and be his best buddy. Your inner child wants your attention and love ❤️
So many of the people you interview probably dont have anyone to talk to or get ignored and I feel so happy that they get to release their stories with you. I feel like you make them feel part of society again.❤
I love the way Louis tells stories, changing voices and all, he has so much pain, I pray he finds peace one day and learns to love himself and forget the negatives that have hurt him throughout his life. 🙏🏽 ima pray for you brother !
Having watched his first interview and seeing some of the negative comments I still felt like this man was special. His story is scary yes but I was able to see past that. I'm so glad I watched this update, it completely validated my feelings. This man is so human its beautiful. The circumstances that raised him inevitably shaped him but he honestly deserves so much more than he has been given. Sending him prayers as i truly see his soul and the weight of the lost, broken child that still haunts him.
Children should not be exposed to anything sexual. Ughhh this breaks my heart a million times over. As parents we need to do anything to protect our children. This poor man is a victim turned predator just like every other predator out there. Lord, please help them.
Glad Louis sees a therapist. While watching this, I was thinking a men's group would be helpful. It's hard to spend your life seeking approval and consistently getting your heart smashed by an abusive parent.
I think there might be a little more to this. The voice changes gave me cold chills. And then when he said the alcohol keeps him from shooting people up.... In his last interview and this one, he expresses violent tendencies multiple times . I hope he continues therapy... intensive therapy.
His story is powerful. He is a honest man. I hope he is able to work slowly in his thought process to recover from the trauma. He deserves to feel free of so much pain.
Trauma while developing in childhood creates an injured adult. Your environment shapes your brain. That’s why neuroplasticity is a necessary study in the mental health world. 1st step to healing is telling the story so that it’s heard by the person’s own ears. That’s a therapeutic outlet. Next is realizing that the narrator (as a child) was at the mercy of sick and damaged adults. I’m so glad SWU, is giving us, as viewers, the opportunity to empathize, sympathize, and stay humanized when hearing these stories.
Thank you Mark for allowing him to talk. His story was so vivid. This was raw truth. Learning lesson to human beings creating life as well as understanding ourselves and how we become who we are later on in life. Last, but not least, how we can prevent things from happening to our children.
Man!!! All he wanted was recognition and validation from the very person who created him (His Dad)... and to think dad died without even telling him that he was perfect for him. Lord!!! Sending prayers for him and I hope & pray he gets the help he needs. Broke my heart in a million peices when he started to cry.
My Dad stood on my self esteem every second of my life. That was until he learned my mother was physically abusive for 16 years. He stopped drinking, he stopped seeing his friends and supported me ever since. Mind his attitude is still stale, but once the truth comes out it changes people. It took him a long time to understand. Like this this man. I feel what he feels. Whatever I accomplish or when ever I make a dream a reality, no matter how hard I try, no matter how good the cause it still does not please my father. No respect given to be received. It is removed ten fold from your heart the self esteem you thought you had. As much as I love him he screwed up at some point in his life and make everyone else suffer so they don't supercede the status he made in life at an earlier age than he did, and then some. That's insecurity. I've hydrocephalus, no degree but I now work for the government. You just got to focus on your mentality, be strong and don't ever let yourself give up. I'm actually going to start a company real soon. I wanna get rich. In fact every insult I get fuels the fire and desire to show every single person who was negative to me how you overcome life's problems.
I know exactly how this guy feels when self esteem is the target. I never received a compliment from my Dad until two-three weeks before he passed on. In fact, that's when I knew the time was close.
He deserves his own series. He is truthful and I can appreciate that. He even tells the truth as it bugs him. Great storyteller. Please invite him more
You are a charming, genuine and interesting man. If you can find a way to let go of the anger and realize that you are not what your dad thought of you, you may just find it in yourself to let people in and can live a happy life. You have a lot to bring others. You just need to see this in you. You are worthy. Alcohol brings us down and prevents us from seeing who we truly are. God bless you and protect you. And may He help you heal and find your way.
I know alot of people watching this video will think bad about this man, but I really understand EVERYTHING he's saying. Listening to him tell his life story is almost like listening to him tell MY early life story. Everything from being molested and raped at such an early age to having both a mom and dad that couldn't love me. This video really broke me down.
"I don't know why he hated me. I don't know why he hated me so much. What can I do to please you?" Maybe it was because he hated himself so much and while he saw himself in you, he also saw someone who was so much better than he was (although very much hurt inside). Someone who needed love and connections. Someone who had a heart to care about being better than him. Louis, I've listened to every one of your stories and it reminds me of the abuse my husband faced with his father. When his dad was on hospice, he was the one that went and took care of him every day. Lifted him out of the hospital bed like a baby to take him to the bathroom. He loved his dad, but his dad wasn't all that capable of loving anyone fully. Bottom line, it's not you. It's nothing you did. It's not how smart or how you looked. It was his own hatred for himself. Stay well, Louis 💛
This is raw and real he is definitely hurting from his past and it sad but i am glad mark is allowing him to tell his story and get it off his chest .....mark he is a probably the best interview so far !! Pls keep the updates coming about louis .
Louis you are a good man! I love your honesty and wittiness. You are somebody! Thank you for telling us your story, you’re giving many people the strength to talk about the wrongs in their lives. Please stay strong and keep it moving. You can do anything you want to do!
I’m struggling with this video. The behavior he admitted to in the last video was so abhorrent to me I’m having trouble separating the 2. He seems much more calm in this video. At any rate, I’m glad he’s able to get his feelings and thoughts out. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Thank you for allowing this man the opportunity to get all of this off of his chest. A lot of folks feel like him to some degree or another....he was courageous enough to talk about it....freely. This is where healing starts. At 45 I'm still healing from the lies I was told from parents, siblings, extended family, friends, acquaintances... All that matters now is what Our Creator thinks of me. He showed me my TRUE worth when He stretched His arms wide on that tree and died. He gave His life for mine. That says it all.
After seeing the most recent vid on big Louis, Im praying for you man, not judging, just praying the Lord shows you his kingdom, dont ignore that moral compass man.
Him mentioning treating the cousin bad who molested him, I feel that, but someone molested her, she was 13 someone did her. My sister argues, bully and manipulate me with money as adults constantly punish me, for things at 40 years old and our kids don’t like it. I just want people to heal and understand this issue.
One of my favourite interviews that I’ve seen.. Louis is so good at telling his story.. I hope he can forgive himself for what’s happened in the past, maybe even find the strength to deal with his addictions & have a positive relationship with his daughter.. I wish him all the best!!!!
I love the way he talks!!! I feel bad for him, sad as hell, he's a smart man, he's been dealt a BAD hand in life, but he's done the best he possibly could do, this makes me CRY,BADDDDDD.. God bless you louis
God bless this man. He’s personable, great smile, and very strong person. I think he could be a successful commentator, tv personality, or a great family man with the right help.
I've never heard someone describe my life to such a degree before. Even some of the situations he talked about seemed to be ripped right out of my life. If you ever see him again please tell him I understand how he feels. Every last bit of it. The shame, the rage everything. I'm still young I'm only in my late twenties but I could see myself heading down this path. It frightens me actually. He deserved better. So much better. I haven't watched the first interview so I can attest to any of the horrible things he's done but I can understand it. Hurt people , hurt people if that makes sense. I just hope he gets help.
Brotha. I went thru the same emotional beat down from my Mom as a younger. Had me all jacked up til several years back. After I lost a good woman in a marriage. I went thru da drinking phase and all. The way you get over it all. Understand that the pain thrown your way was just a reflection of the pain that was in him/them. Trust me. Understanding brings peace. And your life can be better. As far as the erection problem. Thank God it’s not me. But put dat bottle down. The alcohol is affecting your circulation homie. And change ya diet up a lil bit. You’ll be Str8. Keep pushing loved one. RESPECT ✊🏾✌🏾
Thank you so much for providing a platform for society's most vulnerable to speak. You inspire me every day. I'd like to do my part, so I'm starting a YT channel. I have no videos uploaded yet but my re-education videos are on the way!

His story matters
Sad. My heart goes out to the little boys that had to encounter this sick world. Girls are not the only ones that are molested. Protect our babies at all cost.
I bet everyone tells him to get over it. This testimonial proves you can’t just get over it
I think it is possible to heal from nearly any traumatic experience with counseling and support, but it's certainly not fast or easy - a glib, ignorant statement like "get over it" is not helpful.
Dru Berry ...telling his story is the first step.
His honesty is the second.
Exactly....
Even my psychiatrist told me to get over my trauma once I nagged too much about it. It's so sad.
Its imperative that he understands that he will never get over it! But as an adult we learn those leasons from those bad experiences and we choose to either allow it to make us or break us. He didnt have a choice when it was happening but he damn sure has a choice now how he handles it.
Soft White Underbelly, thank you for allowing him to speak, and for putting his words in a place where people will listen.
Deep listening we all participate sometimes with tears in our eyes
The honesty, he pushed through the embarrassment, was needed for so many people to hear. Drugs and alcohol definitely help cover the pain of past abuse and if you get the chance to live sober/clean it takes alot of work to feel "normal"in society. From experience living your best life is best revenge. Forgiveness is for you not him. Youll realize the longer you're clean how sick your father was and he's just not capable loving the way you need him too.
I really wish more people would watch this series. How humbling and yet motivating it is to hear someone in pain be transparent about that pain.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT INTERVIEW. THIS MAN IS TELLING YOU MORE THAN HE’S TELLING HIS LICENSED THERAPIST, YOUR PLATFORM IS HELPING WHETHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO VENT, THEIR STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD. YOU’RE SHEDDING A LIGHT ON A WORLD UNSEEN TO SOME PEOPLE FROM MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. ALSO, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS AMAZING, CONTINUE YOUR WORK MARK.
Straight up
I’m so glad he felt better after talking about it. God BLESS him. I’d love to give him a big long hug and tell him how much potential he has, how handsome he is and how good of a father he has the ability to become. X
you should watch his new video where he drugged and molested a 13 year old and got her pregnant...
This is definitely one of my favorite interviewees. He is a great story teller, these story's are so heartbreaking though I hope he finds some inner peace and makes it far in life.

I think he's addicted to his story
Cynthia Chavis you think? He said he had never really spoken about it before and it was the first time he had ever opened up.
pudddingpie hurt ppl, hurt people. Broken people break people.
Cynthia Chavis He's not addicted to his story. He's just expressing a core need that everyone has at different levels: the need to be seen, to be heard. To know that he has the safe space to talk about it and feel that what he went through it's worth being listen to.
He connects us to the raw vulnerability of his experiences. Takes such courage to put it all out there.
This is a good example of how perversion is planted as a seed and grows.
Its sexual abuse that is left unaddressed and untreated. Overtime it destroys minds
It’s not just sexual abuse. It seems to me like his dad belittling him is what really really destroyed his self-worth Confidence

💔 no words.... Praying for you. 🕊
I appreciate Louis sharing his story hopefully, it opens a lot of eyes. Certain experiences really affect people differently and can have a drastic effect on their lives and how they carry themselves.
If someone had listened to him 50 yrs ago; his life would be so different. Just looking at the first interview, to this one he is so different.
I feel like I really want to help him, I just wish I could give him a hug. Im sorry for what you went through. A lot of people care about you.
Ghazi Alomani give him a big book and your number tell the alcoholic to call you when there ready to change
Allan Greenson you’re ignorant and disgusting l God forgive you for your judgmental ways
I feel bad for this man.
Unresolved trauma can last a lifetime..🙏
I salute you Mark 👋🏽... thank you for helping Louis 😢, I’m so glad you listened to him, that was very therapeutic for him he felt comfortable enough to open up and reveal the deep dark thoughts that he has carried around for years...his life has been painful, I pray that these sessions with you will help him get on track... WOW, just WOW... Blessings To You Louis 〰️🙏🏽🆙〰️
Thank you Louis, for being so brave and sharing your story with us. It's not an easy thing to do but it's the first step in healing the pain. Sending you lots of hugs and healing 🙏💖
I love how eager Louis was to speak with you again, Mark. It's a true sign of the big difference you are making in people's lives. You give them a place to tell the raw, unvarnished truth about their lives, without strings attached, judgment or trying to put a label on them, and that is an opportunity most of your interviewees have never experienced in life. The healing can't begin until all of your skeletons have all been let out of the closet and you provide somewhere safe to do just that. Thank you so much for being you and sharing your work with all of us.
He has a soul... It's just terribly tormented. Praying he finds peace.
Everything this man's father said to him as a child is really how the father felt about himself.This man needs to realize this.He has been carrying this around with him for to long.
Louis, thank you for sharing Your life. Love yourself like nobody else has. Hug that little Louis and be his best buddy. Your inner child wants your attention and love ❤️
I cried during his whole interview. I feel so bad for him and I’m glad that he was able to freely express himself.
Buddy...I give you the warmest, most loving hug.
Thank you for your honesty .
❤️🇨🇦
hes very honest. i wish more people were honest like him, the world would be a better place.
Out of all of the videos I've watched thus far .... this one the world needs to see.
So many of the people you interview probably dont have anyone to talk to or get ignored and I feel so happy that they get to release their stories with you. I feel like you make them feel part of society again.❤
Louis might be my favorite interview of SWU’s catalogue
I love the way Louis tells stories, changing voices and all, he has so much pain, I pray he finds peace one day and learns to love himself and forget the negatives that have hurt him throughout his life. 🙏🏽 ima pray for you brother !
I want him to know that he is something and very important in this life. God bless 🙏🏾
What an AMAZING soul ❤ Louis, thank you for taking the time to tell part of your story. You're a beautiful person.
Having watched his first interview and seeing some of the negative comments I still felt like this man was special. His story is scary yes but I was able to see past that. I'm so glad I watched this update, it completely validated my feelings. This man is so human its beautiful. The circumstances that raised him inevitably shaped him but he honestly deserves so much more than he has been given. Sending him prayers as i truly see his soul and the weight of the lost, broken child that still haunts him.
Children should not be exposed to anything sexual. Ughhh this breaks my heart a million times over. As parents we need to do anything to protect our children. This poor man is a victim turned predator just like every other predator out there. Lord, please help them.
Underneath all the trauma, life experiences and franticness is a very mellow & chill dude
Must be hard to go through reliving his memories but I’m sure it makes him stronger todo so
Glad Louis sees a therapist. While watching this, I was thinking a men's group would be helpful. It's hard to spend your life seeking approval and consistently getting your heart smashed by an abusive parent.
Can’t wait till the next one, his story is one of the most interesting stories! I hope he gets better everyday
I want to reach out and hug him. The part about wanting to lash out at his abuser, I feel you dude!
Hes gonna ask you to let him see it. 😂
I'm sorry , I couldnt help it. I feel you tho he needs a hug.
Really great interview by letting the guy just speak and asking only few questions.
I agree
Soft white underbelly it seems like his so open with you ! You gave him a voice to be able to express all his troubles and what has been in his mind.
You know this poor man is drunk, telling the deepest secrets
I think there might be a little more to this. The voice changes gave me cold chills. And then when he said the alcohol keeps him from shooting people up.... In his last interview and this one, he expresses violent tendencies multiple times . I hope he continues therapy... intensive therapy.
i like how much this seems to help him :) much love and positivity to Louis!
His story is powerful. He is a honest man. I hope he is able to work slowly in his thought process to recover from the trauma. He deserves to feel free of so much pain.
Trauma while developing in
childhood creates an injured adult. Your environment shapes your brain. That’s why neuroplasticity is a necessary study in the mental health world. 1st step to healing is telling the story so that it’s heard by the person’s own ears. That’s a therapeutic outlet. Next is realizing that the narrator (as a child) was at the mercy of sick and damaged adults. I’m so glad SWU, is giving us, as viewers, the opportunity to empathize, sympathize, and stay humanized when hearing these stories.
NEVER stop interview him! those kinda videos is a big reason why im still sober today
Thank you Mark for allowing him to talk. His story was so vivid. This was raw truth. Learning lesson to human beings creating life as well as understanding ourselves and how we become who we are later on in life. Last, but not least, how we can prevent things from happening to our children.
Man!!! All he wanted was recognition and validation from the very person who created him (His Dad)... and to think dad died without even telling him that he was perfect for him. Lord!!! Sending prayers for him and I hope & pray he gets the help he needs. Broke my heart in a million peices when he started to cry.
So sad for the children... heartbreaking!
My Dad stood on my self esteem every second of my life. That was until he learned my mother was physically abusive for 16 years. He stopped drinking, he stopped seeing his friends and supported me ever since. Mind his attitude is still stale, but once the truth comes out it changes people. It took him a long time to understand. Like this this man.
I feel what he feels. Whatever I accomplish or when ever I make a dream a reality, no matter how hard I try, no matter how good the cause it still does not please my father. No respect given to be received. It is removed ten fold from your heart the self esteem you thought you had. As much as I love him he screwed up at some point in his life and make everyone else suffer so they don't supercede the status he made in life at an earlier age than he did, and then some. That's insecurity.
I've hydrocephalus, no degree but I now work for the government. You just got to focus on your mentality, be strong and don't ever let yourself give up.
I'm actually going to start a company real soon. I wanna get rich. In fact every insult I get fuels the fire and desire to show every single person who was negative to me how you overcome life's problems.
I know exactly how this guy feels when self esteem is the target. I never received a compliment from my Dad until two-three weeks before he passed on. In fact, that's when I knew the time was close.
I could listen to this man talk all day long a great story teller funny and sad at the same time stay bless brother
He deserves his own series. He is truthful and I can appreciate that. He even tells the truth as it bugs him. Great storyteller. Please invite him more
You are a charming, genuine and interesting man. If you can find a way to let go of the anger and realize that you are not what your dad thought of you, you may just find it in yourself to let people in and can live a happy life. You have a lot to bring others. You just need to see this in you. You are worthy. Alcohol brings us down and prevents us from seeing who we truly are.
God bless you and protect you. And may He help you heal and find your way.
I know alot of people watching this video will think bad about this man, but I really understand EVERYTHING he's saying. Listening to him tell his life story is almost like listening to him tell MY early life story. Everything from being molested and raped at such an early age to having both a mom and dad that couldn't love me. This video really broke me down.
❤
"I don't know why he hated me. I don't know why he hated me so much. What can I do to please you?" Maybe it was because he hated himself so much and while he saw himself in you, he also saw someone who was so much better than he was (although very much hurt inside). Someone who needed love and connections. Someone who had a heart to care about being better than him. Louis, I've listened to every one of your stories and it reminds me of the abuse my husband faced with his father. When his dad was on hospice, he was the one that went and took care of him every day. Lifted him out of the hospital bed like a baby to take him to the bathroom. He loved his dad, but his dad wasn't all that capable of loving anyone fully. Bottom line, it's not you. It's nothing you did. It's not how smart or how you looked. It was his own hatred for himself. Stay well, Louis 💛
This is raw and real he is definitely hurting from his past and it sad but i am glad mark is allowing him to tell his story and get it off his chest .....mark he is a probably the best interview so far !! Pls keep the updates coming about louis .
Mark ur totally helping this guy. Woooow!!! It is such a difference in his Eyes, Speech & Demeanor since the 1st interview.
Louis you are a good man! I love your honesty and wittiness. You are somebody! Thank you for telling us your story, you’re giving many people the strength to talk about the wrongs in their lives. Please stay strong and keep it moving. You can do anything you want to do!
I really like him telling his stories. He says it exactly how it was and no bs. Of course the way he's personality is awesome, so full of character
I’m struggling with this video. The behavior he admitted to in the last video was so abhorrent to me I’m having trouble separating the 2. He seems much more calm in this video. At any rate, I’m glad he’s able to get his feelings and thoughts out. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Thank you for allowing this man the opportunity to get all of this off of his chest. A lot of folks feel like him to some degree or another....he was courageous enough to talk about it....freely. This is where healing starts.
At 45 I'm still healing from the lies I was told from parents, siblings, extended family, friends, acquaintances...
All that matters now is what Our Creator thinks of me. He showed me my TRUE worth when He stretched His arms wide on that tree and died. He gave His life for mine. That says it all.
After seeing the most recent vid on big Louis, Im praying for you man, not judging, just praying the Lord shows you his kingdom, dont ignore that moral compass man.
We been waiting on his follow up. He definitely need help. I think he has the same problems his mom had
Him mentioning treating the cousin bad who molested him, I feel that, but someone molested her, she was 13 someone did her. My sister argues, bully and manipulate me with money as adults constantly punish me, for things at 40 years old and our kids don’t like it. I just want people to heal and understand this issue.
One of my favourite interviews that I’ve seen.. Louis is so good at telling his story.. I hope he can forgive himself for what’s happened in the past, maybe even find the strength to deal with his addictions & have a positive relationship with his daughter.. I wish him all the best!!!!
I like louis i think behind all tht shit is a nice guy, glad this helps him getting it all out
My heart goes out to this man! Just another product of his upbringing! May God bless him with peace to forgive & let go!
I love the way he talks!!! I feel bad for him, sad as hell, he's a smart man, he's been dealt a BAD hand in life, but he's done the best he possibly could do, this makes me CRY,BADDDDDD.. God bless you louis
God bless this man. He’s personable, great smile, and very strong person.
I think he could be a successful commentator, tv personality, or a great family man with the right help.
I quit drinking in 1999. Only good decision I've ever made.
What was your drink of choice?
Maur Ice for real you gonna ask that
Edit for the grammar police in 2020🙄
Are you really going to ask that?
@@minervaminavera2347 good grammar
Congrats 🎊 🎉 day by day peace love happiness 😇✌🏽
we'll call you k that’s really what you want to focus on 🥴🙄😑
I've never heard someone describe my life to such a degree before. Even some of the situations he talked about seemed to be ripped right out of my life. If you ever see him again please tell him I understand how he feels. Every last bit of it. The shame, the rage everything. I'm still young I'm only in my late twenties but I could see myself heading down this path. It frightens me actually. He deserved better. So much better. I haven't watched the first interview so I can attest to any of the horrible things he's done but I can understand it. Hurt people , hurt people if that makes sense. I just hope he gets help.
This guy has a lot to let go and to rebuild himself. He has a spark and I hope he can find forgiveness in himself.
Brotha. I went thru the same emotional beat down from my Mom as a younger. Had me all jacked up til several years back. After I lost a good woman in a marriage. I went thru da drinking phase and all. The way you get over it all. Understand that the pain thrown your way was just a reflection of the pain that was in him/them. Trust me. Understanding brings peace. And your life can be better. As far as the erection problem. Thank God it’s not me. But put dat bottle down. The alcohol is affecting your circulation homie. And change ya diet up a lil bit. You’ll be Str8. Keep pushing loved one. RESPECT ✊🏾✌🏾
Thank you so much for providing a platform for society's most vulnerable to speak. You inspire me every day. I'd like to do my part, so I'm starting a YT channel. I have no videos uploaded yet but my re-education videos are on the way!
Sexual demons can easily latch on to people that get molested at that age. Not surprised at all it affected him. Sad
Damn
True dat!!!!
Absolutely heartbreaking 😢
