- Update 1/27/23… where am I now?
• How I am Doing
9 years ago today, my son Parker stood his ground. In this video, I give some background information, answer some common questions and give my commentary now that so much time has passed.
FYI, this is not an update on how the kids are now. The kids are grown and doing fine. This is a teaching moment.
Also, this is my first time using Streamyard. I'm not impressed with the quality, but that is my fault. I am enjoying learning and I promise that I will get better.

Omg! I peed my pants when you were mimicking them! 😂 “call the cops! “😂😂😂
What do you mean by you peed your parents 🤔
I was lmao when he said call Kev and Christy 😂😂😂
@@tracythompson3758
Me too! 😂😂😂
@@thecoollegofilms836peed their pants laughing because it was funny when he was mocking her fake crying. Are you mentally slow? Can’t read?
The way he just pulled up the popcorn had me dying! This guy is a very good person. I could see my dad doing something like this for me.
We are ALL _DAMN_ PROUD OF YOU PARKER!!!
Not all heroes were capes.
Absolutely.
I pray we repent of our sins and turn to Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand love your enemies and forgive others just as God can forgive you spread peace and be blessed amen.
the fact it was 10 years ago blows my mind, hes 24 now and im hoping he has a great life away from that honestly stanky mother of his.
@@PolGT he cut them both out
My kids decided they wanted to live with me and not their mum. 20 years later looking back. They say it was best move they made. The stress at the time was high as hell.
Fathers are generally just as capable, if not more, of raising children, especially as they get older.
did mommy lose her mind over that??? so many of these girls are totally oblivious to how despicable they really are
big time@@develyntwocentshenderson5739
If you think about it, he shouldve came about this differently.. a parent who really loves there child and respect the mother of their child will do that. He weoponized the whole situation to his advantage. If you listen in the first video, she said he never paid his child support and he respoded with ill start doing that.. so the whole time he wasnt paying child support. He only cared about the situation so he wont be incriminated. The mother really loves her child because she still never told her son what her husband really was.. because it would hurt her to see her son realize the truth of everything.. i watched this video when i was a teen and was in the fathers side but as i got olde really pay attention to what the father only responds to and how he went about it.
im on her side
I wish I had a dad like you. Thank you for being a dad that we all need.
i agree with you,he looks chill and cool,i would do anything for him
@@codyfritz8579😂😂 Yea everything like come and go as he pleased in the children’s lives. That was pretty clear by a few of the things she said right in front of him on camera.
Wish my father was like you. I needed a dad to defend me in my childhood like you did. You are an amazing person Caleb and we will always be so so proud of Parker!!!
Congratulations Parker for standing up to your abusive mom I'm really proud of you for being the man you are today
The plain fact that are calls the step dad “Daddy” To Parker and you, Caleb, his actual dad, she calls, “Caleb” to him shows the parental alienation. But, the end result (because Parker is clearly smart) is that she alienated herself. I hope Parker is doing amazing now. This shows incredible strength.
The fact that you had that shirt in a safe for so long because it was THE shirt you had on when he was born is actually so wholesome.
Pulling out the popcorn to your own recording killed me😂
I’m honestly flabbergasted that she had the AUDACITY to try to throw every tool in the book to get Parker. As a 14 year old myself, I don’t think I would’ve lasted as long as Parker did, and I’m very glad that he stood his ground
I bet you would have done great, considering how nice your vocabulary, grammar and spelling are. You’re obviously an avid reader, which means you are intelligent. Keep up the great work.
Well she is his mother
@@emilyschultz1021 And?
Where's Nancy Grace when you need her?
@@emilyschultz1021 sick radical feminist here every video she is commenting in favour of the mom that abuses her son
She hates her ex more then she loves her child. So sad
That's sadly what it seems like.
🎯
She shouldn't complain; at least she found someone that follows all her orders like a good dog! In one breath she says it doesn't involve Parker, and next she's piling all her crap on him. Whenever Parker makes a point she can't argue, she tells him not to yell at her. OMG, the Trans-Am manipulation is incredible. As an adult child of a narcissist, I feel for Parker; the mom doesn't have the capacity to understand the damage she's doing, and she never will-even if it's explained to her. It took me too many years to learn that a narcissist has no empathy or self-awareness. I hope Parker learns this earlier than I did. Having a narcissistic parent is so difficult. Therapy really helps. I wish Parker and his siblings luck and happiness.
Saw part of the first vid a while back and a reaction to it a little later. Finally found your channel and saw it was from 10 years ago. Was a strange feeling finding out Caleb and I are the same age, I couldn’t imagine going through this at that time of my life. So glad things are looking up for you and the kids. Much love
"You can. You're his father."
So when she wants you to do something, you're his father, but when things are going according to her 'procedure' you're what--a nobody that failed her and your children?! I hope she's getting or has gotten the help that she needs.
Honestly me too. It's like she is MISERABLE
This is a pretty common attitude in divorce situations. Parental titles are used when needed. When not needed, that parent becomes, less than, just a visitation. It’s not right at all!!
She just seems like a bad character, it’s on her to change. No one else can change her. Hopefully she can start acting like a good person and earn respect.
I loved your interjections of "your dad" & "Jason" every so often. That was awesome and made me chuckle every time! Thank you for sharing this with us, man!
Man, crazy to see how far he’s come. We are all proud of Parker and of you for helping your son, that’s what a good father does!! I wish you and him the best!!!
"Warp Speed Tears"
Omg lol she didn't flinch when Parker barked at her because she's clearly pushed him to that point before and knew he would yell back at her. Manipulators are sick, man. I'm glad he got away when he did, even though it was a struggle for freedom for a minute there!
I’m sick of people like her crying victimhood when things don’t pan out how she wanted them to
That video made me cry. I grew up with a narcissistic mom and the control factor does NOT stop. EVER. Even as a 34 year old grown ass woman, my mother continues to play manipulative mind games. It's taken a lot of therapy to get me into a place where i can at least walk away. But that clenched jaw and them tears and not being able to say what you want? Yeah, i know that shit all too well. So sorry you all had to go through that.
You’re exactly correct. These people never change and the sooner you learn to let go, walk away and accept it, the sooner you will heal and the pain of loss will (at the very least) mostly go away. Heal yourself.
Same except both parents were toxic for me. Idk if to say, fortunately / unfortunately but 5 years ago they both independently (were divorced) died of alcohol related illnesses within 6 months of each other.
I'm glad that I'm free of the toxicness is out of my life. But I'm remorseful of losing my parents and that they couldn't see where their faults were.
Also wish I had my grandparents' influence longer. They were better for me but everyone was died at the same time period. Glad my mom outlived her mom... didn't want either of her parents to experience that. Her dad had dementia along with parkinsons... if he was aware (hope not) of what happened, he couldn't even talk about it. I really miss my grandparents the most.
I wish I could tell you to enjoy time with your mom, while you can. But that's not really the world we live in.
(Also sorry about the rant)
Edit: and sorry it's a bit choppy with grammar errors. It's what happens when I get emotional and I'm not used to writing about it.
Same here for me, I know I’m only 23 but that “I’m the momma” shit is DEAD. I know I need therapy I can’t walk away, I yell scream, cry all of the above.
I don’t have a relationship with my mother. She was very abusive to me and my grandmother. it’s sad to see how many people have had this experience.
Me too, but i'm 15, and I sadly don't have anyone who can help me at my own house.
I hate hearing the "I love you" after every hurtful word, sentence or situation they've caused or said, but they somehow manage to turn the tables and blame me for every argument and every little thing that happens.
They say "we are here to help and support you" "we love you" "you can tell us anything", but it's funny, when you are supposed to be safe and find comfort in your own house with your family, I don't, . I don't know what to do about this. my mother left me on the floor of my room, crying my eyes out because of something she did and said to me, and then she demanded an apology from me.
When my oldest son was 15 years old, he went for a summer visit with his dad and decided he didn’t want to come back either. It absolutely broke my heart and I cried for days, weeks even (never in front of him). But I understand it was what he wanted and he was his own person. He also didn’t want to move back to Texas which was where my new husband was stationed. I knew he wasn’t comfortable with it and for him and his happiness/well-being , I let him go. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
A year later I left my husband in the military (which was the problem), moved back to my/our hometown and my son happily came back to live with me and his siblings. His dad wasn’t quite as understanding but I know what he was going through. Regardless, we always worked together for the best situation for our child. This lady is just thinking of herself. She’s has major control issues. It’s so obvious that she just wants to control everything and everyone around her. Sad, pathetic, enraging!
I'd love to hear the other side of this story.
Thank you for letting him go as a mother. I was 13 when my mother let me go to live with my father, it was the hardest thing for her, it made me feel awful, but I wanted to go. Not because anything she did necessarily, but I just wanted to go live with my dad, I missed him, I wanted a new start somewhere with schooling & friends. Many different reasons. In the end I was back home with my mom with in a couple months.
Sometimes parents just don’t understand, situations are hard, but we just have to trust that it’ll all work out.
How sad that you chose a man over your kid, just like this mother.
@@skincareceo that’s an ugly comment that was not needed on this positive platform, you should have kept that to yourself 😒
@@skincareceo she respected her son's wishes despite how much it hurt her and you think she just threw him away for a man? Either your reading comprehension is dog shit or you choose to view everything in bad faith.
Took her 55 minutes to ask hiw his weekend went, that says it all!! Real parents go that extra mile for their children. Well done Caleb 👏
I remember seeing this many years ago and thinking how condescending she sounded and how manipulative she seemed. I'm glad it all worked out. ❤
I saw another reaction to this video and immedeatly got to your page, I'm so happy that everything worked out for you. I'm so proud how Parker handled this situation and stood his ground, I'm so proud of you that you faught for your kids, how you got sober, then got ripped... Man, this is exactly what I needed to see, life isn't perfect, and you got a hell lot of rocks thrown at you, but you fought and you made the best out of it. I really admire your strenght. So happy to hear that Parker is a horse trainer now and how proud you are of him.
You raised the right kind of man.
Thank you
This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Cannot believe it's been 9 years. I hope Parker is doing well, 23 years old now! Wow
I hope he’s off living a successful adult life!
Yep he’s a professional horse trainer
I hope he told his mom she could jump off a cliff and cut her out of his life
@@ItsHaisho wow that’s dark
The way he yelled at 1:20:36 made my stomach drop. That's proof right there of what he was saying, no kid yells at their parent like that unless something's happened. So glad that he got away🍻
I just watched the original and this video back to back, and I have to say, you're an absolute stand up guy, and a stand up father. Articulate, kind, and knowledgeable about your rights, and you could tell you had the best interest of your son in your heart. I'm proud of your sobriety, and just you as a person my guy, and I'm so happy to hear that things are going well for you all. Take care, and have a Happy New Year!
Wow, thanks so much. Happy new year!
Hes irresponsible...and all you Ken are mentak
I first saw this video back in 2013 when I was 15 (I'm just a year older than Parker), and I felt for him, having been raised in a toxic, narcissistic household myself. Little did I know that I'd be in the exact same situation two years later. Candace reminds me so much of my own mother, and I can see right through her manipulation tactics. "Don't forget I love you, I raised you, you're my child," etc. After continuously berating them, destroying their self confidence, and trying to control their life. I hope he's doing well today.
I'm a year younger and Candace is literally my mother's personality clone, I'm lucky my stepfather was there for me like Caleb was for Parker.
@@immanuelrodjan1851 how would you help a 16 year in that same situation now? The courts just don’t seem to care. My heart breaks for my nephew
I pray we repent of our sins and turn to Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand love your enemies and forgive others just as God can forgive you spread peace and be blessed amen.
But no one seems to see through the dad's manipulation with a UA-cam channel that says the exact same thing. "I'm your hero! I want you with ME!!!" He "cries" on a UA-cam channel. Who's the toxic manipulator again?
Any good mother would cry when her child has been deceived.
the dad (author of video) does is create an environment where there's the deception of no accountability for the kid. Deception.
Why all the hatred toward the mother after all these years? After "victories"? Who's toxic?
And manipulating the Bible even. All plants good but in God's context. Still calling people names after all the kids are grown the dad got his way deceiving them. Still criticizing. Making UA-cam money off of family pain by REPOSTING. They should sue for the money made off of them on UA-cam. If I was her, that's what I would do.
My friend's mother was the same she would say to her son, "I gave birth to you, I carried you" she would even fill her poor son head with lies about his dad. Sad thing was his dad was such a lovely man would never hurt a fly. RIP my friend you're in a better place now.
i just watched the original for the 5th time but i wish i would’ve seen this bc i needed this closure. this is amazing and i am so happy things are right now
The stepdad was a weirdo!!!!!!! I saw this when it just happened. When he went in the house to get is stuff and he almost got locked in the house and shocking!!!!!
@@Mysasser1 step dad was probably feeling like the jig is about to be up and he was going into fight or flight was the only way he could see out...did anything ever happen to him?
No tears at all, I am so proud of Parker for standing up for himself. I was a very young adult when I first saw this video, now in my 30's. Lots of gaslighting, and the icing on the cake was when she was willing to press charges on her own son, further causing emotional damage. Also good for you dad, I hope all is well.
Caleb is Daddy, Jason is Jason. This is clearly parental alienation on the part of the mother.
Even the cop was like wtf
I'm so proud of him. He was strong. He had to be. That cop saw through her.
You mocking her, just makes my night even better! 😂 all is well with you and Parker!
much respect for what you did/do for your children.
i wish i had a parent like you, thank you for the awareness you spread 💛
So crazy that you’ve revisited this immediately after I’ve just spent the past 48 hours binge watching your Parker and Blaine content. Hope you guys are all well! From Adelaide, Australia
lol ditto
If you think about it, he shouldve came about this differently.. a parent who really loves there child and respect the mother of their child will do that.

im on her side
@BrinaPayal this part..I think the knee jerk reaction is to side with the crying child. But there are steps the father should have took before it ever came to something as this. I don't know any of these ppl but I hope the kid was happy & felt loved above all else. I wish them all luck ❤
He's still so sweet to his baby sister. She really tried every tactic under the sun to guilt him and villianize you as a parent. . . For what? Smoking a little weed. Also, she's the one throwing the huuuueMongus temper tantrum.
So proud of Parker and all your kids.. The fact two boys at the same age had the same problems at that home are very telling. You’re a great dad
I’ve watched the original video more times than I can count and every single time I respect Parker even more! I hope all the kids are safe happy and healthy. ❤
Strongest person I've "seen" in a long time. That poor child. Bless him.
I came across your story on TikTok and then came here to finish it. I just want to say, coming from a kid whose parents fought like cats and dogs after they divorced.. you did awesome, and Parker definitely held his composure for as long as he could. Much longer than I would have! Just.. amazing! Great job! ❤
I just heard about your story and I just wanted to let you know that you're an amazing father! As a single mother what your ex-wife did to you and your son breaks my heart. I don't like my son's father but I respect him because I respect my son. I would never prevent my son from being in his father's life or force him to be in his father's life. I'm amazed by how strong your son is and I'm saddened by why he has to be so strong. I hope he knows that he's an amazing young man and there are now millions of people behind him!
Thank you. 🤗 He turned out to be an outstanding young man and I’m so proud of him…. still.
Same here. Would never keep my kids from the dad. Never
I feel sorry for he's mother beause he should out the car and put hands around mum and talk about it
@@jasonlawrence779 you sure you ain't the step-dad in the video I mean yall do have the same name
9 years have gone by, he's 23ish now. She can't say he's a child and can't decide things. Good on you and you too Parker!
What an INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE DAD AND SON!!!! Way to goooo! So sorry u had to go through such struggles! Nine yrs ago thank goodness it’s in the past and u both have stayed strong despite it all! I’m soooo glad u found help to fight a good fight….for ur kids sake! Wow! What an incredible DAD!!!!
I don’t have kids and somehow i came across this video , all i can say is go Parker and his father ❤️ rooting for y’all!
I didn't have my dad growing up but I wish I had one like you. This is what I think great parenting should be, teaching your kids to stand up to bullies using civil disobedience, nonviolence, and patience.
Bravo sir.
I've been watching the original video annually. I'm not totally sure why, but I always find my way back here. Parker has SO much more courage than I ever did. I hope you tell him how kickass the world find him, dad!!
Thank you in advance for the awareness you spread for the internet, Caleb. When I saw this video, I myself would like to give Parker credit for having the courage to do that! I too feel happy for you and your children, hope you have a safe, happy and wonderful Christmas.
Much love from Pennsylvania!
I'm so proud of Parker for standing up for himself! Caleb your a awesome father I just wanted you to know that!
ur fake crying mocking her cry is hilarious lol
I’ve found that laughter can cure just about anything, even me. 😂
I must admit Caleb doing the fake crying cracked me up
He’s mocking her FAKE cry. Funny she only cries when she figures out she isn’t getting her way or if she’s on the phone with “Kev and Krissy”. I’d love to know what those cops said to each other after they left and what the dispatcher actually said to her. The trans am part pissed me off too. I know she’s the mother of your child but damn how did you ever stand her. 😂
@@CalebLeverettis she still miserable 10 years later ain’t she 😂 I feel
Sorry for the step dad I bet you he not even with her anymore
Haha wait, do you remember the timestamp?
She destroyed her future relationship with her kids just to hurt her ex. It feels like a victory for her but she ruined the future relationship with her kids, and will miss out on them growing up, on them having their own family, on being a grandma. Sad. All the love for dad. Caleb I wish you can bring values and wisdom to your future grandchildren, and wish you a good life ❤️❤️ Parker turned into a beautiful young, independent , strong man.
Our son was in a similar situation with his mother. Unfortunately it came to a head where she abandoned him with us. Brought his clothing in a trash bag & gave his beloved toys away to her new boyfriends sons. He was devasted for months but now he calls her by her first name, gets therapy, is in a fantastic school, had found real stability and we couldn't be happier to have him here with us full time. He's my son now.
EDIT: he was 14 years old
TikTokから来ました。英語難しくてずっと字幕で頑張ってたんだけど状況が結構カオスで母親がヤバいやつってことだけはわかった。母親の言ってること聞いてみると洗脳に近い形でパーカーを支配しようとしてるなーって思った。脅したり、愛を伝えたり、もう母親の感情の波が凄すぎて頭おかしくなりそうだった。実を言うと私もパーカーと似てるような家庭環境で育ったんだよね。 私の両親は離婚してないけど、私の母親もこんな感じだった。てか両方そうだったかも。だからこそパーカーは実の父という強い味方がいて羨ましいなって思った。ほんとに君は恵まれてると思う。私にもそんな存在はいたらな、、。今自分17歳だけどずっと苦しい。14歳のパーカーがち強いハート持ってるの見て勇気もらった。私も自分の権利のために頑張るわ。ありがとう
すべてがよくなるよ 友達
I saw this when Parker was 14. I'm so glad that you guys are well.
I love you man father to father! it’s been a uphill battle for the past 8 years for me and I’m finally at peace with my situation with my son! I appreciate how much you appreciate you’re kids and the fight for healthy living! It’s so refreshing to see another dad out there that’s relentless!
Thanks, man! Well done keeping up the fight. It’s a shame that we even have to fight in the first place, just to be a parent to our own kids.
@@CalebLeverett that shit is dope for Parker sadly I am dealing with almost the same thing as Caleb when it comes to mental abuse I’m 16 but I am unable to leave because I do t have anyone to go to if I leave my house
It sucks but it does help that I am the man of the house
If you could please tell Parker that he helps me get through hard times in my family
He shows me and I’m sure others that this country still has balls and that anything is possible especially if you have a awesome fucking father to help you I wish I had you as a father
What ever happened with this boy and his mom?
How did this story end?
@@tinawd89 well. We’re all doing much, much better now. My kids enjoy their private lives and I’m off enjoying myself, climbing mountains and finding who i really am. 🤗
this is so iconic getting to listen to your commentary on this!!
Brother I'm glad it got better, first time I watched this over 9 years ago I was so concerned for you and Parker. Good job dad!
I’m the same age as Parker and was going through the same exact thing that same year. Except I didn’t stand up to my parent. Now I’m 22, I have my own child and husband and have cut off my parent completely. It sucks but I feel so free. I’m so proud of Parker for standing up for himself at such a young age and seeing through the BS-I wasn’t so smart at the same age.
I literally cannot thank you enough for recording this. Family court is serious, but there’s even more to it than that.
Every time I watch this, I find something new. “You’re my baby, and I’m going to touch you.” Um, no! Unless it’s self defense, no one has a right to put their hands on you. I’m 34 and even though he doesn’t have to, my Dad will still ask for a hug.
I don’t know who said this, but I love it, “My children didn’t choose to be born. I chose to have children. They don’t owe me anything.”
For such a young man at the time, the way Parker conducted himself is truly amazing. This just made my heart break with how much pain he was in, Ijust wanted to comfort the poor lad. I'm so happy to know he's doing OK now, that you both are! I wish you both nothing but happiness. Hugs from the UK ❤
BTW, congratulations on your sobriety! It's a hard journey but so worth it!
I first saw this video years ago when it was going viral, and it has never left my mind since then. Never thought to this day I would have to deal with the exact same situation when it comes to my little siblings. Their mother is a drunk narcissist and it’s just sad. I’m so happy to see Parker happy and living life as he should be 🫶🏼 much love from Arkansas!
I wish my father would have been brave enough to have done this for me. As soon as she saw that it wasn't going her way she really started with the tears it wasn't about Parker it was about her ego & control. Good on Parker becoming a man.
What a fabulous fabulous video, you did good Parker. God bless you and everything you do and your family. Your heart knows
I’m actually amazed how a 14 year old can speak very well when it comes in a serious conversation with his mom. And you making a saying on this video makes me feel so much better and laugh a ton
I forgot one thing. I’m wondering how the other kids are holding up now, are they living with the mom still or have they all came to you?
@@cbasslaner1935 Oh boy. That is a long story.....it took me while to catch up with it.
You are an inspiration to men everywhere. Your original video inspired two people I know in Idaho and Maine to stand up for themselves against their respective abusive parents in a similar fashion.
Never stop making content, and never give up the fight!
The fact Parker doesn’t care about a car and wants his father says a heck of a lot. Also, the fact she keeps the police there is crazy. They have other real crime to deal with. The fact she puts her arm in the window like that and that husband puts his hands on the truck window and then she tries to press charges against the kid is insane. That’s was horrifying. He’s dealing with a lot to be this firm that he does not want to go with them.
I hope Parker is living a great & peaceful life. Happy upcoming Thanksgiving & be safe. U guys did good
I’m so so proud of you parker for standing up for yourself ❤️
Good for Parker get rid of this insane woman she needs an adjustment and she is a real b****😊
I first saw this video about 6 years ago, and I was in a similar situation with my mother around the same time. My mother and I were fighting a lot when I was 16, while it didn't get as bad as it seemed to have gotten with Parker this hit at home. Thankfully, I was able to get out of the situation as Parker did in this video when my father obtained full custody of me. I haven't watched all your videos, but I know you have been through a lot with your kids, and I'm glad things are better now with you and them.
“What’s the camera for?”
“To make you famous buba”
That had me wheezing 😂
One of the most famous simps in the world.
Jason is 100% simp. Is the gash that good she can just roll him anytime she wants because he can’t do better?
My ex wife’s current husband is the same. He really hates when I get out of the truck and come tell his wife what’s what when our kids come back to her house after they’ve told me how horribly she’s treated them that week.
You are an AWESOME dad. I grew up with a very manipulative and abusive mother that I still unfortunately have to live with or I would be homeless. I wish I had the same resource of running to someone I felt safe with. Awesome dad!
Parker handled it SO well for it being such a traumatizing, stressful situation and he was only 14! You could only see how scared he was everytime he thought about having to go back in that house, especially after standing his ground against this bad joke of a mother, my god. You being with him gave him the safety to finally say everything to her that upset him and made him angry without fearing what she and that doofus (loved that lol) will do to him. Her face when the officer told her she can try everything to get him out is so scary man...also the fact she didnt even flinch while her child is screaming at her to stop and only switching back to the "crying worried mother" role when the officer told her off. Daaamn. Smart of you to film this all, saw this for the first time ever and I hope he recovered from that experience. I'm glad this situation went the way it did/the police being a good example of how to handle a situation like that... and that you showed how to be calm & mature...while shes just acting straight up insane and trying to gaslight the hell out of that kid every chance she got. "I'm not trying to sue you..." while just asking abt it IN FRONT OF HIM lol!!!! So all the other "I don't yell at you!/I didn't grab you by the throat! /We are not fighting all the time" Have as much worth as that. Will watch the follow up now...
Hey there. Caleb. As a blind person, I really appreciate how you described what was visually happening during the silent parts of the video. It's kind of like an audio described movie. I listened to the original video years ago when it was recommended to me randomly. Thank so much for uploading it. It really brings the very serious topic of abusive parents and our fucked up court system to the table. I'm glad that you can laugh at it now. I'm so happy your son is a horse trainer. I have been through the 4H program here in San Luis Obispo, California. The instructor really showed me how to feel everything that the horses do. I am forever grateful to her. I love the stuff you put out as well as your outlook on life. stay strong brother.
Not doubting ur blind but just like confused how u typed this u have some one else do it or is it like text to speech just intrested 😂
God Bless !
@@mblatty.good question, the sentence structure looks as if it was written by a system and they just said it in simple sentences for the program but the fact that “stay” at the end after a full-stop isn’t capitalized looks as if a human wrote it
Ya'll....they're blind, not deaf, they might have wrote some of the comment with like an app that blind people use, forgot what it's called but it's where the phone reads out any letter, symbol or number that the person Is touching, either that or they asked a friend/family member/gf/bf/wife/husband whatever, to write the comment for 'em.

I’m a mom and this absolutely infuriates me. She is guilt tripping him so hard about his siblings. This boy is old enough to make his choice. If he wants to be with his dad then let the boy be with his dad. Good grief. She’s embarrassing me to death. I feel so bad for Parker.
Hi Caleb, I have probably watched Parkers videos a million times and still breaks my heart he went through all he did then, as a woman and as a mom with 2 now grown children that went through a divorce I just wanted to say to you that I commend you for never giving up on your child, any of them and it was clear there was an abusive situation going on within his mother's home..I went through something similar but I had to fight to protect my children from their biological father as he had been abusing them in ways that should be punishable by death as far as I'm concerned...the point i guess I'm trying to make is no matter what side of the parental gender you are abuse is abuse and you always stand by your children...you always protect and you never ever give up!! Kudos and respect from one parent to another and i hope all the kids are doing well as I hope you are!! 😊
Preach!
Just saw this I’m happy for you .. I’m happy for the kids.. I hope everybody’s great and remaining that way.. happy you got over your addiction too..
So proud of this man. ❤️
“I love you so much and want you to be safe Parker so I’m gonna press charges on you baby ❤.” Absolutely revolting you both have the patience of a saint to not have told her to shut the f up.
Re watching all videos about this and it stills makes my heart break for everything this kid has been through and I’m so happy he stood up for himself and was able to go home with an amazing father
Thank you.
Thank you for being there for your babies. My son's father has abandoned him and isn't following the child support order with no reprimanding. He lives 15 mins away.. my son is almost 12 & really needs a father in his life 😢 I really, truly cant thank you enough for doung rught by your babies!!
thankyou for this view it did clear a few things up, I know you said you dont really want to talk about your kid but I just wanted to say hope they and you are happy and well :) I cant believe this is 9 years ago! thats crazy
The Internet has, and always will be on Parker’s side!
Facts
Bravo to these good officers. A young boy naturally wants to be with his father if it’s a good relationship.
CONGRATS ON YOUR Sobriety!!! Bless you Caleb & Parker ✝️💕
Just watched the video on Facebook. I think it’s amazing how you love your son and trusted his judgement and respected his choice to not go back to a toxic situation and to stand up for himself! Good for both of you! I love this story of father and son ❤️
Thanks, Morgan!
This mother was being psychologically and emotionally abusive in this moment can’t imagine what shes like being closed doors. Her control was more important than respecting her son. Also it is so infuriating every time she refers to you as caleb and her husband as daddy! No!
All I can say is that I’m a very happily divorced man.
Wow can’t believe I’m here for the 9 year anniversary
I watch this video every day it is still cool, Parker I am proud of you and you have a beautiful father.
All Greetings from Turkey!
I absolutely can relate to Parker. When my mom would pick me up, oh my God I was the happiest kid on the weekends. As soon as I would get back home an anxiety would just take over me it was horrible. I absolutely hated that choking moment. The feeling was suffocating.
Omg I’m so happy to finally hear ur point of view of this video dude.
And again I hope u and the kids r all doing ok and r a lot happier
I still come back to the original video to watch it, it reminds me so much of my manipulative mother.. it’s really disgusting. Good job, Parker. Thank you Caleb, for standing up for your son and his rights! Amazing father.
Parker I know this was years ago but I am proud of you. I wish I had the courage to stand to my mom when I was this age.
Good job Caleb for always being there for your son you're such a great dad I can't stop watching the video over and over when you guys left when did cops let you go Candice got really mad awesome job to you Caleb there really need to be more dads out there like you sending best wishes for Mercedes Texas
You are a wonderful father Caleb! I am in the same position you were, it sucks and I don’t agree with the system making the dads feel like nothing. I wish I could be your friend so you could help me along the way.
Im glad he stood his ground. Kids deserve to be where they are the happiest. I have watched this video countless times. He handled that very well as did you. You both are amazing people and i hope you and your kiddos are happy. Im a step dad but i treat the kids as they are my own and love them very much
You seem like a very chill and open minded guy. We need more people like you. I’m glad you point out when she’s gaslighting him, it’s hard to watch. And I learned a lot when you mentioned why you weren’t speaking a lot and to recognize what makes yourself mad. I’m a new father and I’ve learned a lot on this channel. Wish me luck dealing with my crazy baby mama
Yeah the term “bite your tongue” is something I learned a long time ago and it usually serves me well. Best of luck to you. Deep breaths, stay calm and slow to anger.

Hey Caleb,
The worst part about this for me is both my parents are like that. I', a 15-year-old young man and am still living in this hell hole. I have fought back but watching this video has helped me. I have my friend who helps me out and he does basically what you do. It sucks that there are people like this in the world but I use this tough time as a way to make myself stronger. My father is the type of man who teaches their son to hide his emotions and to bury all that deep and never let it show. Parker taught me that it's okay to show emotion. Your kids are lucky to have you!
-Theo
I wish you the best, Theo. Chin up. It gets better.
Hey Theo, I hope things are looking up for you and getting better
You have a good friend! Hope it gets better for you
Hope you’re doing well Theo. Keep strong
I have so much respect for Caleb and Parker. But besides the point you’re commentary had me cracking up. You’re a wise man and I don’t doubt that you and Caleb helped people that are in similar situations stand their ground.
👍🙏💝Thank you for posting this video. 🙏💝
I don’t know how a clip of this video appeared on my UA-cam channel, but I’m so proud of Parker. 💪🏼 To stand up for yourself is not easy, but he did well. Hope Parker will recover from all the trauma and be a great person! Love from Indonesia. 🫶🏼
I came from tik tok. It's amazing to know that you achieved to be together. I had two manipulative parents and it was so hard to handdle de divorce + everything was involved. I know that child was making the best desition of his life ( i wish i had a dad as supportive as you). I hope you're ok and finally happy. Hugs from Colombia.
So, not only is this man great, but he's for the Culture and invited to the cookout
I watched this video and could relate to parker so much! I’m from the UK, my mom was exactly the same as this. Day in day out arguing, manipulation, abuse. My mother even out of jealousy threw a metal framed picture of my father (the only picture I had of him) off my head. She would only let me see my Dad once every two weeks. My dad thought for a very long time to try and take custody of me. Unfortunately, in the UK you have to be 16 in order to make your own decisions as a young man. On the day of leaving my mother to my dads, the relief was probably one of the best feelings of my life.
I’m now 32, have 2 kids, a lovely wife. I only show my kids the respect that my dad gave me during my time with him.
Caleb was strong, respectful and ultimately more grown up than his own mother. You, sir are what fathers need to be.
