Imagine not knowing or remembering you were physically abused but still having the ptsd from it. That’s so scary
alexangel The PTSD is actually from being told about the event. He has no ability to remember this event or have any attachment to the memory. What he remembers is being told he was adopted and that his birth father was abusive to him - that truth was the trauma that induced the PTSD... not the action of physical abuse itself. I hope that made sense!
@@rainaa1997 not true. When children are abused and witness abuse their brain forms differently
alexangel Arthur Fleck
harlow jean 1975 deymonaz yes, exactly
alexangel love your makeup sis
your biological child or not, no child should be abused.
you obviously didn’t listen lmao
Duh
"... no child should be abused."
Correction
"... no one should be abused"
@Angel Steelman how about abusers... Should they be abused?
@Angel Steelman well they are abusers...
Kid: literally mentality suffering
Parents: *bruh I smell disrespect*
My life.
exactly
Same here. My mom brought people in who took advantage and used us. Now I’m standing up instead of suffering and they call it disrespect
Disrespect and *MARI* *JUANA!!!!!*
Marcus Turner I called the cops on my nanny who would tase “us” me and brother she stopped because of my mom but my didn’t fire her it is annoying dealing with her like she would punch me
But I got in trouble when the cops were called
Kid: Has multiple mental disorders and severe trauma
Mom: He was smoking MARY HUAN AH
Вяфтнег I like your pfp
Reminds me of Kevin hart lol
It rimes
what trauma he doesn’t remember anything. he’s playing the victim
Depending on his mental disorders, marijuana can straight up make it worse and even scramble his brains lol
His friend committed suicide, he's was abused by his biological father, he was diagnosed with ptsd and they brought this kid on to tv because he wont go to school...
And he was being bullied on top of that!
@Iriskinclapzv2 they need to give him therapy and a sense of closure
I've gone and still going through a severe depression, it took me 2 more years to finish high school, but I did..with a SUPPORTIVE FAMILY
The Parents be kinda stoopid
Plus hes 17 he can legally dropout if he wants
It must have hurt a lot to find out that your biological father was abusive when you were too young to have a voice. Maybe you can take some comfort in the knowledge that your biological grandparents loved you enough to rescue you and save you from that situation.
alan silverman and not direct his anger towards them.
it's an excuse
I’f you’ve watched the other videos it’s pretty clear they don’t care much about him. He says he wants to kill himself she doesn’t bat an eye, he says he wants to hurt someone she goes crazy. All the kid needs is some tender loving care obviously. He doesn’t want to go to school and be surrounded by the people that made his best friend kill himself, which he shouldn’t be not in that emotional state Atleast.
YES!
@Sam stfu
Alot of people do not understand PTSD...I feel sorry for him...
You have to experience something in order to get it. He doesn't remember what happened 🙄
325133 PTSD isn’t defined by a grand experience that leads you to having it. It can be the small things overtime, and finding out that your parents aren’t your biological parents and that they’ve lied to you your entire life is mind bending.
@@ilovemeanltty1 they didn't loe to him they told him when he was 8 but yeah they should have told him more often so it stuck with him.
No way does he have PTSD. He may have anxiety issues around it. PTSD is remembering the trauma you experienced. Feeling it at that moment, reliving it over and over to a point where it affects your daily life. I am adopted and my mum committed suacide. That doesn't cause me PTSD. The abuse I suffered through my life causes it.
@@SadbhR77 sorry to hear it
You wonder why he gets panic attacks and he doesn’t wanna go to school, this boy has had nothing but pain his entire life and you have the audacity to take him on to a show to try and make him look like an idiot, he needs help, psychological help, he isn’t ok whatsoever. This woman needs to get a grip and stop trying to make her pain consumed son look like an twat on national tv
Facts he’s genuinely hurt deep and their dumb asf
James Cruzツ not only that, but she blames weed and alcohol, she is one of the main reasons he’s in pain, hiding his biological fathers story from him, it’s disgusting
Totally agree with you all! These parents have ruined there kid even more and it’s sad
There’s people who have it a lot worse... and they still live Witt themselves and continue with their life. Him being adopted is literally no excuse for him to be acting the way he is. Me speaking from experience this is just a mentally weak person that is even lucky to have the parents he does. Me being adopted and having a similar childhood that he had, yes there’s questions; but what most people don’t think of is that life is a privilege, him even being alive sitting in that chair is a privilege. Stop making excuses for yourself and be a contributing members of society.
@@isaacdelcid6997 So, because you went through a hard time and got through it, you expect everyone else to be as tough as you? Don't invalidate what other people are dealing with just because you handled it differently. It makes you come off as a twat.
This poor kid has been through so much and seems so genuine, he just needs guidance
this boy got a fresh cut tho
skull brain its straight ig
skull brain ay nice cut man *SMACK*
Everyone is styled by the stylists on that work on the show
skull brain no he doesn’t lmao
I mean it’s aight, not fresh but it’s done well
These parents are UNBELIEVABLE. Imagine being in his shoes. No wonder he doesn't wanna go to school.
This kid has been through a lot he was abused,adopted,and his friend just committed suicide because of bully’s at school he is clearly a respectful kid but he is really hurting and his parents and him need to have a CALM talk that isn’t being broadcasted.
Kaleigh Miranda agreed
exactly
Thijs Rijn van Definitely
@Thijs Rijn van how do you know that he is not being loved ?
i dont get it why ppl say hes a kid when hes like 19 lol
That’s not fair, he has the right to know who his parents are.
BEAUst It’s not the child’s responsibility to reach out to a parent that has failed them multiple times. How about he stops caring who he biologically came from and starts caring about the parents that are actually in front of him right now. He has problems, real problems.. yet he wants to go meet the person whom caused the problems. That makes absolutely no sense. This kid doesn’t need to meet his biological father. He needs a psychiatrist.
Jennifer B he wants closure. It’s only right to let the kid know. He’s practically an adult, if he wants to know who his biological parents are that’s his right.
Jennifer B not to mention his parents are absolute idiots! They put him on national television because he has panic attacks and just wants to know his biological parents.
BEAUst He literally down sprialing because he simply knows he was abused. How is him knowing the man who did this going go change anything
@@PlsWaLuigiDomMe it'd just expose him to this man/"father".
An adult who could hurt a baby isn't a good, decent, trustworthy or even reasonable human...
“we were shooting hoops and pops said i was adopted”
that’s an nba comeup story right there
🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣
I really shouldn't laugh at this but I cant stop!
🤣😂🤣
THATS A FAC JACK!
Why wait to tell a child they’re adopted? Seems cruel not to tell them from the beginning. Also after having the conversation at 8 years old you should have followed up with him to make sure he was ok
In my opinion, I think they told him at a reasonable time. I do agree that they should of followed up to see if he was ok and things like that. They probably told him at 8 bc they thought he would understand it (if that makes sense). I think it's hard for both, to tell the news and receive it, that they are adopted (don't get me wrong, it's HARDER on the kid).
Chiquita 101 Imagine at 8 years old finding out everything you know is a lie. I would have trust issues with my parents after that. What other secrets are they keeping? I knew a girl and her parents waited until she was an older kid to tell her she was adopted. Messed her up and still struggles as an adult
@@1987Megs I think he was struggling at that but mainly knowing who his biological father is. It shows to me that he hasn't completely processed that they arent his biological parents but has an understanding that they arent . The thing he seems like he's struggling the most with is him wanting to know his biological father is and he deserves to know.
I was told at two years old. Then it was an open subject to talk about. Definitely the best way. I saw to many told at an older age and it hurt them so much.
Were they supposed to tell him at 4 months old the day they brought him home? I don’t understand. They waited until he was old enough to understand
If I had to adopt a child, I have to be forthcoming to them. Everyone deserves to know their story.
Lucky M R. D. Not at eight year’s old and cannot understand.
@@babyphatchanel agreed. Context matters and you need to tell them when the time is right and discuss the manner in an age appropriate way
I knew I was adopted my whole life, as did all my siblings since 3 of 4 were adopted. Coming from experience, I am very happen I have always known and my parents have never kept secret where we came from and no matter what they they love us and we are their children. I hate it when someone says to me “Do you know your real Mom?” I always have to correct them and say you mean my “birth Mom”. My real Mom is the woman who raised me ❤️
I think it just depends on the child's temperament as well as how the information is presented. That he was abused probably also plays a role. Might have been best to have had him in therapy prior to telling him. I would think the abuse probably manifested itself in other ways prior to all this.
@@Websterm same for me! It has never been a secret! I don't have a void to fill by knowing my birth parents!
Whats worse is that he didn’t want to go to school because his friend had just committed suicide and he was getting bullied
Whatever the circumstance I believe that everyone has the right to know who their biological parents are.
Nathaniel Christopher - thank you, you’re right. Not most see it that way.
@Terri Wells I think that's fair, as a parent you would want to protect your child from potential harm. But once the kid becomes an adult (18) he has every right to know who his biological father is. As an adult he can make his own decisions whats best for him. Also for his health record its also important. Not sure how old the kid is but the parents should just tell him he will know when he's an adult.
@Terri Wells -yes in this situation I agree if the truth is as the parents say..
You can tell kids age appropriate things about their parents if the bio people aren't in the picture anymore. Like, your biological parents had a hard life and didn't want you to have a hard life too, so me and Grandma got to adopt you so we could provide a better life for you. Something like that. Kids just need to know they are wanted and loved.
I’m adopted and I wish I never met one of my parents. She ruined my life at the beginning of my teenage years.
Ok so their his grandparents? Because their daughter is his mother.
Yes
I think she said it that way because it's just her daughter and not the husbands
They’re*
@@themaczter9024 what a spectacular addition to the conversation, thank you for the spell correct, we were lost without it 🤥
Jaye Green - The fact that you’re mad about somebody trying to help another’s spelling is pathetic.
Imagine being abused, having ptsd from it, and on top of that living with a Karen who invades your privacy and torments you by shaming you publicly.
Ptsd can sneak up on you no matter how much “later” it is after whatever incident.
Handsome young man. Wish you the best. Do the right thing
Cari so wealthy thank God he is not ugly right?
@@polisigh216 no hes not hes just going thru what anyone in situation is going through poor guy looks stressed out. I wish him happiness
@@polisigh216 and you as well
Chant Bagby you’re reaching. Get a life bro bro
@@carisowealthy I think what he meant was, why is him being handsome so important? As in, would you feel different about him and the situation if you didn't find him handsome?
Woman doesnt care he was drinking but is so concerned about weed
Dr. Phil literally just gave this guy the answer to life: Beliefs/thoughts turn into a reality
Poor child.. I'm happy this family saved him & have raised him. However seeing as this child is growing into a young man, he deserves to KNOW where he came from. It's a hole in the heart of the child, not knowing who they really are.. what their family medical and mental history is.. all of that. He deserves the truth. He's old enough now.
Yes and no. It could cause even more mental destress. Especially if he searches out and finds his biological father and he rejects him. That would open a whole different can of worms.
@@ddevil4980 it's better to know & seek the truth than hide & suppress your feelings due to fear of rejection. I'm not saying they need to build a relationship... I'm saying tell this child about where he came from. His father had a mother & father, this young man's grand parents.. perhaps he has cousins.. nieces or nephews. He deserves to know his family & that shouldn't be taken from him because of his father's past
@@chell272 exactly, he needs to be secure with himself before traveling that road. Because it will likely be a bumpy one.
@@chell272 everyone is different. & it's clear what NOT knowing the truth is doing to this young man. His parents at least need to hear him out and help him find peace...or he will be resentful his entire life.
He’s not growing into a youngman lmao he’s a already a young man man
It is terrible when you find out you were abused as a child. I hope this person overcomes his abuse. Perception is a true blessing if you on the light side.
I pray this young man has a wonderful life. I believe a child should be told from the get go in a loving way, expressions of wanting and loving the child reinforced continually, and questions by the child answered honestly and to the child's level of understanding.
I think this kid deserves to know who his biological parents are. Just even to understand why things are as they are.
Pip R I’m conflicted. Parents adopted or not want to protect their kids. Honesty, is vital in any healthy relationship though. I don’t know how I would handle it myself because he is still very young and impressionable & I would hate for him to be negatively influenced by his sucm bio parents. I don’t know if knowing who they are would make him understand. That takes a lot of emotional maturity. Which is hard for him to develop given his trauma & reality shift when he was told the truth.
Why would that help him at all? Just to ease his curiosity I guess....but that’s pretty much it, it’s not like he had issues before he knew he was adopted so...
Hold up! Why is the mother not involved and helping her son and mother. Did I miss a part of this story?
Well being that the entire show is like an hour.. and this is a 3 minute clip.. PROBABLY
Nobody Matters maybe she still with the abuser and cut off completely from the family
My husbands father is related to this boy. She is in a complete seperate state and lives happily and clean. She had drug problems when she had him.
@@jordinnewman9477 she doesnt wish to comfort her child with his unanswered questions and his inner turmoil?
@Sam OBVIOUSLY AND the parents of this human created and allowed it and THAT IS THE REASON WHY THIS KID FEELS SOME tYPE OF WAY ..TO PROTECT HER THEY NEGLECTED HIS RIGHTS @my opinion dont matter
He honestly seems rather well adjusted based on the circumstances.
Keep going strong buddy!
This kid actually seems to be a nice dude that is struggling and his mums just making him worse
Geez, this reminds me too much of the Joker movie
I didnt even realized until you said it 😳
MrToast why I haven’t seen the movie
MrToast don’t do that man
I have not seen it yet
That’s why the “parents” are worried.
HE DESERVES TO KNOW THE TRUTH! At least for medical issues plus I will want to know. Not knowing will drive me crazy.

Being lied to for 8 years about being adopted is way more traumatic.
The parents had no idea why he rages? Duh!!
They should have told him the complete truth or no truth at all. He deserves to know
Aww this poor kid. I feel terrible for him. I hope he has a better future
i dont get it why ppl say hes a kid when hes like 19 lol
AndreasH900 17
My heart goes out to this kid, I hope he gets help.
Yeah! I hope so. I pray for this kid.
I really feel for this kid. Is it just me or does anyone just want to give him a hug?
Yes 😢, it’s also me. 🤗
Seems
As though he’s mad he was lied to poor boy many blessings to him secrets hurt
When he was a kid he looks more like the yodelling kid.
I would think his body may go through bouts and surges of adrenaline... causing anger and anxiety as well. Bc it's what his body did frequently when abused... so I would think it's likely his body is still 'trained ' to do it as a cry for help and self defense... so horribly sad. Get well soon and know that you are who you choose to be ❤
You know the Dads good at keeping secrets. He’s always whispering. 🤫
i really hope he is doing better. if you are seeing this, hang in there. you will get through this.
Perception is reality I like that
It's so true and it applies to so many situations in life. I love that saying. 🙃
110% !!
Man this guy will overcome all this and the horrible treatment. There are people in the world that care about you guy, don't lose hope.
This kid really has some deep underlying issues he needs to address. Bless Dr. Phil for helping so many who need it❤️.
1:00 I'd like to hear him say "i'm batman" lol
Having someone else's kid and failing to take proper care of him is a crime
All he needs is a home, a sense of belonging
I honestly find the adoptive parents very responsible, not being honest felt like he was lied and manipulated so I'm not surprised he's trying to sonthe same to get attention. He shouldn't have had to fight that hard to get it. This could have been avoided with some real communication from a young age. If he had to resort to lying and screaming to get a point across than they obviously were not listening.
I feel like people just automatically think that teenagers or children are just always choosing the bad decisions and not thinking about what they are doing, but they never consider the fact that it could be them that are making their kids be that way. Its cause and effect. Most of these things don't just happen. You have to understand that in life things are going to be your fault.
They should have told him from day 1 they was his grandparents, by allowing him to call them grandma and grandpa. He would have had questions but not angry.
How can he have PTSD, a disorder dependent on remembering a traumatic event, if he can't remember it. How can he have flashbacks or night terrors or anything he was 4 months old. Obviously babies shouldn't be abused but if he's using that to say oh I'm drinking to numb the pain, that's ridiculous.
It’s the same way when you beat a child until he’s a man he turns into a serial killer because it’s conditioning.
He is lucky someone took him in. There are kids who would love to have parents
@Bats Yeah but I suppose it's not an easy thing to tell a child they're adopted and to decide what age to tell them especially if their biological parents were abusive to them.
My younger sister was adopted when I was 4 I’m 23 now and she still doesn’t know me or my other siblings exist. I feel for this guy
I feel like they should have told him he’s adopted very soon
But when he’s older and mature tell him about the abuse
You dont keep such secrets from anyone. Always be open so that no one gets shocked. I understand how this child feels and all his reactions. And I understand how difficult it is for him, and how difficult the journey to his healing gonna be like!
As someone who is adopted I cannot imagine my parents hiding it from me for that long. That can cause an immense amount of emotional damage and pain to the child and then here we are in this situation. .... abandonment issues are nothing to be messed with and can affect your life horribly 🥺
I agree. I was adopted but my parents made sure to tell me from a young age with Sesame Street books and it was just something I was always well aware of, as we're my three younger siblings (we're all adopted 🙃). I even knew my birth mother because she and my mom were co-workers and pretty decent friends before I was born. She's visited my mom and I many times..even brought my "real" half-brother to live with us for a short when when I was in kindergarten while she got on her feet..(*spoiler alert* she never got on her feet).
Still though, after a seemingly healthy knowledge of where I came from, I have very intense abandonment issues and have been diagnosed, as a child and an adult, within severe Borderline Personality Disorder that haunts every relationship and close friendship I'm a part of..ones that I ALWAYS, inevitably sabotage. It's extremely emotionally draining.
Wow..nice essay-length reply, Cally lol. Like anyone even asked. 😳😅
May i ask you a question? When is it best for a child to know? And how should you tell a child, without hurting their feelings?
Cally Nicole Sorry about how it affected you, it sounds like your mother handled it very well though. Since your biological mother never quite got on her feet, do you still see her at all? That sounds so surreal to meet your biological mother!
I think in his case. They should have kept it quiet. He admitted that knowing effected him in a negative way.
My mother works with child and family services, and these are the people that need their kids taken away, I feel so bad for this child
Think he has a right to know who his biological father is. My mother was adopted and has no idea who her biological father is. Its really messed her up
I'm the same. My birth mum is dead and supposedly my file is lost so I'll never know. I've tried searching online as I have a name but no other details.
@@SadbhR77 Thats so sad.
His biological mom is his sister. Imagine the stress coming from that
Please tell me you're joking😂😂😂 His adoptive parents are his GRANDPARENTS there is no possible way that a sister can give birth to a brother
Carter Jenkins she means that he had to grow up thinking his sister is his sister but really was his mom and his mom was his grandma. That causes a lot of confusion esp with a kid his age
Dr.Phil doesn't understand how hard it is having PTSD. It effects every aspect of your life.
He was 4 months old, he does not even remember. PTSD where?
@@missyfrog1 that's what I'm saying 🙄😄
@@veronicasalazar229 lol ohh, sorry.
You don't know what dr phil may or may not understand. He had an alcoholic father, that he actually grew up with. This kid had something happen to him at an age that is NOT possible to remember. A person with PTSD continuously remembers and can't forget something traumatic that they witnessed or experienced.
@@missyfrog1 Your brain remembers trauma.
This guy is SO BEAUTIFUL
I was adopted at the age of 5. My two younger brothers and I were removed by the state and luckily got adopted all together. My biological mother was an angry alcoholic, and my father was a forger imprisoned for years. I didn't act out or get angry about not knowing who they were. I was grateful that we had the opportunity to be in a loving and caring family. Quit being so obsessed with who created you, be grateful that you have had a family that loved and supported you, gave you the opportunity to succeed. Anger gets you nothing. You're lucky that the abuser was kept away and was replaced by people ready to give you everything.
Carol Deemer so everyone should have the same experience you do? I’m sure there’s times where other people deal with their issues better than you do. Does that mean your struggles aren’t real and you should just do what that person does? Not listening or validating this kid’s feelings is likely part of the reason he acts the way he does.
Poor boy wish I can give him a hug and give him advice!!!
Yes! Me too. I wish I can give him a hug and give him advice. 😢
PTSD from when you were 4months old ? How can you even remember that.
You can't. Its scientifically impossible to remember anything before age 2. Most don't even remember anything before the age 5. It's definitely not PTSD
Sara Jackson that’s what I thought as well. Just a bunch of bs.
He can't remember it. He had no idea that something had happend to him before his parents told him. I don't get how he can have ptsd from it if when he didn't even remember he was adopted let alone abused
@@ihavetopowerofgodandanimeo2551 yep, he doesn't have it
It doesn't matter if he can remember it or not. Early childhood is when the brain is forming most of the neurons and wiring the brain. Everyone is born with the instinct of fear. What can happen is that the fear switch is flipped on, and it can be hard to shut it off, especially if something happens to someone when they are small.
This young man is a very bright and intelligent person. His adoptive parents aren't helping him... they're hindering him. I hope things get better for him.
I got the feeling, there is something wrong with this family dynamic... Can't put the finger on it tho...
this really shows that we should listen when people are crying for help
listen and look for help instead of trying to shame your child
He doesn’t REMEMBER any abuse. He wants to get high cuz he likes to party. He simply does. Like all people that drink, smoke pot etc. He just is loving messing with his histrionic Mom. He’s a teen.
E Rust in the back of his mind he remembers
Ghost Dragon Not if he was 4 months old he doesn’t. He’s got issues like all teens do. Watch him talk to his Mom and watch her reactions like 5x. He likes getting a rise out of her!
Early childhood trauma sticks around whether it is “remembered” or not.
Ghost Dragon, did u miss the part where he says he likes manipulating his parents? Lol! R u referring to repressed memories? Unless my professors were wrong the brain is not developed enough at 4 months. And the repressed memory theory has been debunked if you will. He’s definitely got issues, that being said he likes to party with his friends and mess with his mother. He’s a teen, that didn’t wanna go to school or follow rules. I don’t think it was a good idea to tell him at 13 he was adopted even tho they’re his grandparents...especially if he was already out of control. That would’ve escalated everything.
Dr Phil has had some teens in with horrific upbringing and issues. In my opinion this kid needs to mature. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I don't think it's remembering the abuse that has created problems for him, but rather that at age 8 they sprung upon him the knowledge of his abuse, abandonment and adoption without any follow up and an outright refusal to discuss his biological father when he brought it up in his teenage years.
Key part is him saying when other people don't see the world the way you do
They his grandparents . they could tell him the truth that he is they grandchild. I mean he has a right to know who his parents are
Devera Almestica dude, WHAT? 😂😂😂
Grammar
Learn to speak before you try to preach
I agree he has a right to know who his parents are
Hopefully he will get to a point of being thankful he was removed from that situation.
Why tf do dr Phil hands look like he’s a hologram???
Because you were high.
La da da da da da!
Kayla Moore lol
god I want to be his friend so badly. he doesn't deserve this treatment.
How can he be traumatised NOW when he didn't even know about it until he was TOLD later?
Nonsense.
not everybody works the same way,
Maybe it unearthed the memories or feelings he buried?
Exactly.
@@brtzcake oh please.
Either the trauma is there or it isnt.
He is acting out,not reacting.
I agree. It is scientifically impossible to remember anything before the age of 2. Most can't remember anything before the age of 5. He definitely doesn't have PTSD
My boyfriend is 34 and has no clue who his biological father is. His mother absolutely refused to tell him who he is. He holds SO much anger and suffers from anxiety issues because of it. Every child has a right to know who their parents are
You dont get PTSD from something that happened to you at 4 months old. There is such a thing in child development called "Infantile amnesia" you dont remember ANYTHING that happens to you under the age of 2 years. 13 must be the worst age to tell a kid he is adopted. Stupid "parents". They should just grow up knowing they are adopted. When he is 18 he should be allowed to know his real father, even if he isnt a 'good person' just to be able to know where he came from, same with his real mother.
Just because you may not have distinct memories of things that happened to you as a baby doesn’t mean you aren’t traumatized by them. Evidence shows abuse and neglect literally change the brain.
Should have had a talk with him earlier in age so he could digest by the time he socialises in school
This family don’t deserve this type of treatment for helping him.Sad🙁
Bro your thinking like a child you should be happy these 2 wanted to love you regardless you were “theirs” or not
Whoa, I was just today talking to my Niece today about perceptions and how we see something may not be what it really is. Hmmm maybe I am as smart as Dr Phil 😹
U paint cats so u are way smarter than dr phil
Father: Son, you’re adopted
Son: *Suprised pikachu face*
People should enjoy their life to the greatest
This is a prime example of why parents are scared to tell their kids (who are more emotional) things that they think they wouldn't be able to handle.
Bro is it just me or did anyone else not understand what the fu*k Dr.Phil was trying to get at
I really hope he gets the help he needs. Poor kid suffering from PTSD from abuse he doesnt even remember.
Oh how I feel for this family! Recognizing the problem of a young man searching for, and wishing to have, the love of his (real) father ❤
What happened to him is beyond horrible. I hope he can he heal.
I think the parents should have said what happened the first time they told the child in a way the child could understand it all.
There is no other way to tell a child about abuse what were they supposed to say
@@manrajsingh468 truth
There's no perfect way to tell him
And how she retold us ofc that wasnt exactly what she said
It happened years when the child was much younger
Ofc she was much more sincere in her phrasing
From what we have seen she's not a *bad* mother n has no reason to purposefully try to upset her child
She did it how she thought best
There's no perfect way
I’m glad he at least has a group of parents who want what’s best for him
He has his biological father’s temper.
That’s a horrible and ill-informed thing to say
smarts smarts watch the interview. She told him earlier but he forgot or it didn’t sink in. That’s no way to treat people that brought you up. He’s needs to grow up and and realize how lucky is he that family still raised him. Not everyone has that opportunity and get lost and seriously abused in the system. Hopefully the ranch will help him realize that.
smarts you’re assuming a lot here as well.
I just honestly want to give him a huge hug 😭
Aww, he’s a cute young man tho 🥺
I hope he gets the help he needs. That poor kid doesn't need this type of punishment.
How could one do bad thing to such a cute person like Michael😓😪
His skin is flawless. Anyway the face of a model.
Susanna Kristiina they all do makeup when they come on the show darling.. but u can see his skin when he is not being interviewed
I told my son from the time we got him that he was are angel child and the angel blessed us with him. He as never asked about it just he knows he is special..
Hello
I hope you're having a great day
Same to you.
Thanks sweetie..You too😘🕊
Thanks. That's very sweet. Wish you the same.
Thank you, you have a great day too
You As Well, God Bless All 😇😇🥰🥰🙏🙏💝💝
This is so sad how is he ment to move on if these adults do not get him help rather then try make him look bad for suffering get him proper help finding out your parents are your grandparents is hard enough but with everything else on top of that it's no wonder he is not coping very well.
