    exploit
    VERB
    make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource).
    If you had million ad rolls or if you bragged about yourself or made these videos to sell a course or product then yes. But you're not. You are sharing an intimate experience through story and moving pictures. You're asking the hard questions and bringing us with you on this journey. Many folks "save face" and not share but you bringing light to these topics not only helps me prepare what may be laying ahead but just seeing what I've also read in the comments... You're helping people feel understood and/or not alone.
    The premise of your videos and the way you craft them show your love for your mom with tons of b-roll of younger days thanks to dad cam. It unflattens the face of dementia by telling a story if a woman deserving of such love and care.
    I just recently stumbled upon your videos and i've seen your progression from "bro" videos to insightful journeys that compel me to reflect on my own life.
    And these are the videos we need. Keep them coming, brother.

      Please look up Niacin, it and the rest of up’d supplementation of B vitamins have great benefits (omega 3 good stuff too) to prevent and possibly to improve mental/brain ailments. Take/have/use a higher/sufficient protocol of supplementation especially when higher age ~60+ would significantly prevent/support, at least a few times a week in older years

It made me wonder if any of my children will take care of me or treat me the same way as you treat your mom if in case I have that illness later in my life. God bless you and your family Frank!

      If you're exploiting your mom for views , you aren't doing it well. Don't listen to those people.
      If you wanted views, you wouldn't have deleted your UA-cam in 2011.
      If you wanted views, you would follow the newest comedy trends.
      You wouldn't be showing people depressing, real videos.
      You post it because its cathartic and helpful for yourself.
      I know I watch you because I understand you.We went through the same thing with my Grandmother.
      It sucks and it's real. Sometimes a different perspective from someone else helps us deal with our own reality.
      That is why you get views.

      Frank, my dad had dementia and I accompanied him together with my mom until the end. I discovered your channel some days ago, I am so touched by your videos. I have been crying sometimes, viewing your videos, because it remined me of my dad, but it was a good thing. Your videos are so real, loving and show so much respect and love for your mom and your family, I respect you a lot for it. I think you do a good thing, because this disease is a taboo, lots of people are or will have to face a similar situation. It is the "long goodbye". It hurts, it is hard to live through it, nevertheless I would not want to miss my time with my dad, when he was sick and slowly slipping from life into death. At least I had the chance to give back, had the chance to even do things before the end and had the chance to receive his love and gratitude. People who loose their loved ones suddenly do not get this chance. So, all in all, it was a very important life lesson this experience I had and I think if viewers are willing, they can comprehend a fraction of this process, if they see your videos. Much love to you and your family and thank you for sharing your life. 🙏🏼💕💓🙂

    My mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease almost three years ago. Currently, I am sixteen years old and have become my moms main caretaker. Some days when I think about the situation it just feels so absurd, I can't really get a grip on my feelings. It's really hard to do this every day, practically and emotionally, no matter how much I love her.
    It's so strange to see my mother change in this way, the pain that comes with it and the conflicts that surround it. I barely remember who she was before, and sometimes I am mad at her for being sick, before the guilt comes. My little sister never talks about her feelings, but once when we were studying I (accidentally) found a written text in her notebook stating that she wished she had another mom.
    Honestly, this guy's videos here are probably the most genuine videos about dementia I've stumbled upon. It's kind of hard to find actually helpful information/material for my personal situation, but these videos have been a huge comfort and help for me. I often hear people say "I'm sorry, it must be hard", when they hear about my situation, but when I saw these videos I actually felt understood for the first time. They have been great help. I throughly believe he loves his mom more than anything.

      hey my friend I'm so so sorry you are going through this at such young age. things are so hard as it is now and I'm well into the age of being fully self sufficient. I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like for you at 16. if you ever need to talk at all please don't hesitate to reach out to me. easiest way is ig dm, same username as this one. sending you and your family so so much love my friend.

    • @BhappyD
      @BhappyD 3 роки тому +4

      I’m so sorry for what you are going through at such a young age. I can’t say I understand what you’re going through, because I have never been in your shoes, but as someone who has a critical progressive and degenerate disease that requires my mother to be my 24/7 full time caregiver, I can tell you that from the perspective of someone who needs a caregiver for nearly all aspects of my daily life, even if your mom isn’t able to express it to you, I promise you that she appreciates all you do for her more than you could ever know. I’m of the belief that in most situations, it’s so much harder on the family member who is the full time caregiver than it is for the one who is sick. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy to live with a debilitating progressive disease that takes nearly everything away from you, but I look at my tired but loving mother’s eyes everyday and it honestly breaks my heart to see what she has to go through physically, mentally and emotionally in order to not only care for me but also deal with the devastation of having to watch her loved one get sicker and sicker. Just the sheer thought of my mother being in my position and the roles reversing is something that is hard to think about and makes me emotional. Being a caregiver for a loved one is one of the hardest things a person can face in my opinion. With the fact that you are only 16 and having to be in this position, I just wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. You’re mom is incredibly blessed to have you. You seem like a remarkable person. I wish there were words to say to make things better for you, but I know that’s not really possible. Please remember to be kind to yourself, and to take care of yourself. I know that’s easier said than done, but it’s so incredibly important.
      My prayers are with you, your mom and your family. May God bless you with the strength, comfort, support, grace and peace to see you through each day. 💕🌻

How dare people troll the life of someone in mere despair over there mother, the person who loved no matter what, kissed boo boos, cleaned his poop (sorry not sorry) , talked thru the awkward ages, . How dare that. Im that mom, I may be his mom one day, and for his mom I'm I'm taking up for frank, defending his honesty and morality. #backoff

To me, you're documenting a journey that millions of Americans go through with their loved ones. The way you love and care for your mother is so heartwarming to see and can bring comfort to those who do the same. Your mother is really blessed to have you care for her. I hope that she continues to do well in your care and don't forget to take care of yourself in the process as well!

      @@ice1cube You're welcome❤️❤️❤️Keep up the amazing work! Before my great grandma passed away two years ago, I saw how my dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and older cousins fiercely advocated for her health while she in a nursing home. They would visit her often, bring her favorite food, make blankets to keep her warm, manage her Drs appointments, arrange transportation for her, and make sure the nursing home was actually taking care of her. I was only 17 at the time, but seeing that taught me so much. Your journey with your mom reminds me of all of that :) It was sad to watch her health decline, but seeing my family go all out for her with love and care until the very end made the process less painful. I hope you and your family continue to do well and take care of each other❤️❤️❤️

It is so very hard and I commend you on being such a strong man to do all you do for your mom because you love her and you force yourself daily to overcome this extreme difficulty to care for her in all ways including those that may be so very uncomfortable.

    I think it's important for the public to see what a caregiver goes through and struggles of the disease of dementia. Your videos are displayed with RESPECT towards your mother. You are projecting Your Love towards her. For those people that choose to be rude to you, they probably know nothing about compassion and choose to make this into something negative instead of looking at the positive result. Your mother may no longer be mentally there, but she definitely can feel your love which helps her through this ordeal.❣❣❣🙏
