I've been wanting to meet my mom's secret step family for years. The chance finally came up after I begged my Uncle 7 to take me down to My Tho to visit them. It was so surreal seeing how similar they resembled my aunts in America. I learned a lot about my maternal grandpa on that day and I'm proud and happy that I went down there even though it was against my mother's wishes. My family's story is not unique by far. Many Vietnamese families and other people in the world share similar stories. So this one is for everyone who has family issues. Try to resolve them. As much as my mom was against the idea initially, she ended up sending money anyways. At least it's a beginning. Better late than ever!!! It's a complicated situation. Every story has many sides. Just try to connect with your family. Even if it works or it doesn't work. Just try.

Your grandmother sounds like an amazing woman. Faced with many options she chose to stay composed and be a good role model to her children by demonstrating that two wrongs don't make a right. It must have been so hard for her, but her children were able to see first hand that life can be what you make it; that you can push on with a determined spirit and not let other people's poor decisions overrule your destiny. This example of a fighting spirit and determination to overcome hardship is what the Vietnamese are renown for.
April, that is deep!
I felt your moms pain when she told the story. I hope she finds peace. Your step family kept saying you’re too young to understand or that it’s because you’re from abroad. However, it just excuses. Your grandma sounds like an amazing women! Props to her!!
I cry for your grandma , oh my god , she has a hard life
Its good that you met them, but don't force your mom to meet them Kyle. Because seeing them would bring back sadness memories to your mom.
I completely relate to your mom. I understand the curiosity on your part but she will always see it as betrayal to her mom is she gets close to them or if she forgives her father. It's something you'll never understand. Don't force the subject, it's painful.
Truth
I relate too. My dad did the same thing to my mum.
Everyone is so quick to give opinions in the matter. If you haven’t gone through it, it’s easy to say “ forgive and forget”. My mum went through 25 years with my dad and only to be swapped after 2 kids and 1 grandchild with a woman she actually knew, who smiled and confided with my mum. It hurt her, the betrayal in both sides hurts. I will never forgive my father nor the women he cheated with. I feel sorry for the daughter they have, but it’s best to keep a distance because one day she will eventually know what they did. The kid is going to be hurt by all of this and they will have to explain their actions. I told my dad that I hope that life gives him and this woman karma, but life is so unfair that normally it’s the children that will suffer the most and get their parents karma. So, in this case this kid unwillingly will end up paying for my dads and the mistress mistake. I really hope it’s my dad and this women are the ones who gets karma instead. I don’t want anything to happen to the child but I don’t want a relationship with the child. The child mother and my father are the ones who destroyed my family and cased my mum, me, my brother and my nephew to feel hurt. The things he did and what the mistress said also added more fuel to the fire. No one can understand until they go through something like that.!
So savage Kyle straight up called their mom a home wrecker lol
Kyle! This is your best story-telling production to date technically and you also emotionally, show us what a great human being you have become. Please, send your mom my respect for her courage in letting her voice heard...
When he helped the humble worm to get across the road,I knew he'd be blessed on his journeys.....Happy trails!
The will to survive and raise her kids, motivated your grandma to walk through a 20 km road every day carrying 40 kg of sugar to market.
Your family would not have survived today if your grandma had become crazy and killed the other woman. She was a very smart woman having thought carefully of the future of her family and her children.
What an awesome video and tribute to your grandmother. She was a saint and a kind woman. It is a story of perserverance and survival. She was a strong, independent woman that did what she had to do to take care of her family by herself. I admire her strength. What a wonderful example she set for her family. She was an honarable woman. Thank you KyleLe.net for sharing your story even though it was painful.
I am Vietnamese American. And I am very touched and moved and are in tears.
I am thankful to be able to speak and understand the language and I can connect with stories like yours because growing up in a single mom household, many stories have been told and many griefs have been expressed.
Please continue to make videos like these and pursue happiness and passion.
Thank you.
Grandma was an incredible person.
Again, I'm loving these videos lately and the direction your heading in. Thank you to you and your family for sharing this story with us. In our culture, these things are rarely discussed so openly and I understand how hard it must have been for your mum to not just talk, but share this with us all. You can hear the pain in your mums voice and I understand why it's so hard for her to let it go. Technically, the children shouldn't have to suffer because of your grandfathers mistakes, but as they say, the sins of the father... Also interesting how your grandmother struggled so much and the mistresses side reaped all the benefits but looking in from the outside now, it seems your mothers side came through better off in the end.
I may be wrong, but the Kyle I used to watch seemed quite detached from his own family in Vietnam, yet now you've made a conscious effort to not only visit, but understand these "hidden" relatives. Seems to me you've really grown and matured as a person and I really like its in turn changed the direction of your videos too. Good job!
+Liz Nguyen after my grandpa died everything changed.
+Liz Nguyen ive always been interested where i come from...one of the reasons i moved there but as i got older i approached it differently
Bro this is one of the realest vids i have watched on your channel. usually its just food. Ironic how i was talking to my father yesterday about my family history. It is not perfect but i understand why you had to see for yourself. Major props and bless your grandma
Love your videos! I think you have inherited your grandmothers beautiful heart. I love that you wanted to meet them and hear the other sides to the story.
God bless your grandma, she's in a better place now.
Kyle great respect. I'm a Buddhist Chaplain. Not long back from Vietnam.
My teacher is Thich Nhat Hanh. The Buddha taught us that the past is gone and the future hasn't happened, we only have this moment. You are living this.
This video was really touching for me ... my grandfather had a second family as well. One that none of us have met, one that I was never supposed to have found out about, but accidentally did because i walked in during a private conversation between my mom and her siblings. But my grandfather never left. Either family. He was a hard man. Seemingly unloving and severe. Always sombre and serious. But he raised and took care of 10 children with my grandmother and who knows how many more with his mistress. And my grandmother is the most caring woman I have ever known. Like yours, my grandma loved all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I haven't seen her in almost 20 years aside from the yearly Skype session. And my grandfather has since passed. Watching your video has made me want to get to know his other family ... because i have more family! My children have more family ... that's an amazing thought.
I got the sense that your grandpa's second family feel entitled to help from your mom when they've never done anything for her. I'm sure they were well aware they were living a good life while your mom and her siblings were not. They seem as entitled as their mom was when she lived on your grandpa's full check with no regard for your family. Your mom is very kind. She took you going to see those people you call family better then I would of.
Your grandmother sounds like she was a wonderful lady. My family has a similar yet different issue with my maternal grandfather and I can’t imagine making my mother relive that trauma by doing something like this. You have a very understanding and forgiving mother.
The older generations had steel in their blood💯. We're weak sauce compared to them!
Yes they are a lot healthier too because of the environment. The food they eat are all 100% organic, the air they breathe, the water they drink and the lifestyle in general.
I wonder why kids these days packed with allergies all over lol
Absolutely agreed 110%!!!
@@pkvstudiobecause the urban planners of these supposedly great generations planted the wrong trees in many cities worldwide
You may never read this but your grandmother was a great woman. She did what she had to to do keep her family alive and you going and trying to do even a part of her daily life speaks volumes about you in others words you rock as a grandson
Your grandmother was such a tough Lady. My mum raised 3 boys on her own. The older i go,t the more i appreciated it. Great video
I love this video very much. I loved Vietnamese people, in Que Son, Huang Anh, Quang Nam. I loved being in the village every day! I make many friends. I walked road sweep for mines every morning at daylight. Many kids were our friends, sell us soda $.50 and sweet ice cream and Thuoc Phien. They were all wonderful to me, were kind to me and I missed them all my life. I always remember them. US Marines. I cry many times when I watch your show.
That a long road that your grand mother walk everyday of her life to hold her family together, you should feel proud to have a grand mother like her.
We have a similar story on my paternal side - my grandfather and the half siblings were reunited after many, many years apart; there was a lot of pain that was rekindled but they also gained some great memories. I can see where your mom is coming from; I hope she can take down those protective walls a bit but if she doesn’t, I wish her and her siblings peace and love.
I totally understand your mom opinions and thoughts..! My dad also left for another women leaving my mom with 4 kids.. honestly Im kinda suprised u wanted to meet the other family.. I feel so upset just thinking of it.. but thats of course is my personal opinion.. :) great video ! It felt so personal for me..
They were fine and decent people. They spent more years with my grandfather than my mom ever did, so it was so amazing for me to hear about him, his life, and more about my maternal side. A lot of that stuff wasn't recorded or cut out of the video. Maybe one day I can make a video about him. Who knows... thanks for watching.
I am just a bastard. I met my father once. His family owes me nothing. I will wish them a Merry Xmas for the first time this year through my half brother who is around 10 years older and retired from the US Senate as a clerk.
Same here dad left for four women. Left my mom and three kids.
Kyle Le Dot Net Please make a video of him. Want to know his side of the story.
They didn't anything wrong it is your dad or the adult that create such a mess. You have no right to angry at them nor mad at them just because they are your half-siblings. I met my half brother but never hate him for it. I only piss at my father such an A-hole.
Great job Kyle.. you are growing as a person.. so important. Agree or not it was her life and she did her best. You facilitated conversations that would never of happened. It should be your proudest moment yet ..
My perception and thoughts on family completely changed after my Aunt 6 died and more recently when my grandfather died. Those two major events shaped me current vision on family and on life. It was pretty cool to see them video chat.
Much respect to you Kyle. It's super difficult to come to terms with what happened in the past, but the trying is what counts. Keep your chin up man, you're doing awesome in the world.
Well done Kyle, great perspective and intense story..made me cry, sad, filled with anger towards Vietnamese men like your grandpa generation..your mom is honest and brave ...and I loved how you had her voice on the phone while you walked your grandma arduous footsteps daily. One of the most passionate storytelling from you to date..so raw and real..👏🏻😥❤️
This is among one of the many reasons I subscribed to you, the knowledge and insight you share with us all about Vietnam and the compassion you hold for the unfortunate. This video has helped me come to resolve with my own family issues as it relates almost entirely. Growing up, my father hadn't been in my two sisters' and my life for about 15-some odd years, I was always curious where he was during important milestones and then discovered when I turned 18 that he had another wife in Vietnam with children (my half-siblings) after having me and my siblings born. Thereafter, I grew a hatred and resentment towards him and the other family, but chose the path of "forgive and forget" especially because of the fact that my half-siblings obviously aren't part of the matter. However, I still held pain in my heart for my mother who suffered in so many ways that my siblings and I had to witness but knowing how strong and persevering my she is inspired me to be a better man today and onwards. This video is very mind-opening and uplifted my spirits in terms of wanting to visit my half-siblings one day, and with that being said, I just want to thank you Kyle for opening up on such a touchy subject and having the galls to embrace it, spoke volumes to me.
Kyle, what a wonderful brave thing you did. Your story resonates so greatly with myself and my mom and in turn, her parents. I understand what your mother and your mother's sisters have gone through as my mom and her siblings went through the same thing.
Funny how sometimes the cycle never stops, as Annie Linh wrote previously, her father left her mother. My father left my mother and as such, being a product of such relationship, its hard to forgive one's father and even harder to, in essence, forgive the step siblings/half siblings. "Why do you love them more than us?" "Why don't you even visit, call or even care?" It 's hard to "forgive" them when they had the life you (or your mother) should've had, was taken because of them.
It must've been a huge deal for your mother to overcome this and graciously send money. Good on you for being a lovely son to her.
Kyle le. This is one good story to share today. My family were Carpenter we make boats. Make a story how your family came abroad to America. Now that’s an eye opener if you haven’t. Ask. We made boat for the refugees . I got crazy story. People dieting and what they did to get here. Some tempted 20 times and never made it anywhere.
Kyle Le, perhaps this was the best part of your journey, meet the step family of your mother against the wishes of your mother but then you earned about how great your grand mother was. Those were old day and perhaps it happened like than those day but what a wonderful true story of a family in Vietnam.
your grandma was a strong, unbending, and resourceful woman. Most women would have given up. She had the last laugh. She came out smelling like roses.
I am a vietnamese who was born and raised outside vietnam. I find it very entertaining and educational to watch your videos. I also learn much about vietnamese culture
Your grandma understood what true sacrifice was even if it caused her great suffering. She put her children first. That is real love. And your right, all stories have more than one side.
This is the best video in your channel. I've watched it multiple times. It's so personal, everything is just perfect. You are an amazing translator and storyteller!
Sad story for poor people his grandma is very sad thank you for sharing your story thank you.
Great video. The pain of what they went through is normal, but family is important. Your grandmother was a very strong woman because she had to be. I couldn't imagine.
Kyle, I busted into tear when I heard you said: "Don't listen from 1 side, see it from different perspectives." Things might be hard to forget, but maybe your mom should learn to forgive. The letting the negative vibes living inside of her will actually a good thing.
Man, it's hard to forgive for someone who tore down your family, trust me I know how it feels. But here is my input, hardship and the endurance your mom and your aunts have been through made them tough, independent and that made them who they are. Besides, that was the past, that from the previous generation, something that we couldn't change. Taking a higher road and try to understand their story making you a better person(perhaps not having 9 wives) in the future. Great story Kyle, thanks for sharing!
The same applies to understanding South Vietnam and North Vietnam, so that we can continue to unify the present divisions between Vietnam and viết kiều -- between Communists and Republic.
You can forgive but never forget.
Admire your honesty, and willingness to share your family's personal stories, and misgivings! Really enjoyed your mother's insight, but really appreciate your kindness, and acceptance to what transpired through your grandfather's bad choices!
Wow, very touching to watch. Your Grandma sacrificed so much. 😔
YOUR GRANDMA WAS A KIND LADY AND HAD RESPECT AND DIGNITY.PRICELESS.
Idk why but I cried while watching this video. I’m moved and touched by your story.
It shows poor people could get away making babies irresponsibly. Another group of people that left behind many children were the soldiers in the war. If money wasn't an issue, it is economically (but not morally) okay to have many children. How did the video touch you specifically?
Beautiful video Kyle. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Hey Kyle, you are such a great person. I believe your life and your family will be one, as you hope. Every single person in your family will completely be understand and see the value of life is : family , as you use to say. God bless you and your family.
Just started watching your videos yesterday because I’m going to HCMC in May, but I have to say great job on forcing yourself into an uncomfortable situation. That’s how you grow as a person. I also moved back to Asia after college for a while and your videos remind me a lot of what I went through when I lived abroad. Keep doing your thing, man. Your story resonates with so many of us first generation Asians and it deserves to be told to the world.
The generations before ours were very complicated and it may be too hard to reconcile those people. But the folks in our generation and after are growing up in a different time with different values. Its there that we can start to mend the wounds and regain ties. Its brave of you to reach out when nobody else does and hopefully it makes an impact on the other people to start seeing the world differently -- especially the younger generation.
This really sets a flame a-flickering in my heart to explore and learn about my family tree. Thanks again Kyle
I haven't finished the video, but I have to tell you something: my Father, too, left me and my Mum for another woman. He ended up raising HER children, while I spent my teenage years crying for him because he just didn't want to see me. So I get why your mom, aunts and uncles don't want anything to do with your other family. You didn't lived it, so you can't understand.
But now, you're making me think about MY kids (in the future, when I have them). Are they going to look for my Father's family? (I don't speak to them, nor want any type of contact with them)… Will they be like you? Wanting to meet their other half? Only time will tell. But I love your channel. I'm subscribing and looking for you on FB 😉 🇻🇪
Why should your kids meet that side? What do they have to do with your family? By family, I mean the people who are really your family. Kyle met these people for a video and views. Do you think your kids would want to meet people they know nothing about? Why introduce them to people like that? Why bring that energy into your lives?
@@nuavecmoi I completely agree. biological, blood? doesnt make you family. Your grandfather was a awful man who deserted his family. You can make them your family but dont force anyone else too. It is their choice to want to or not.
feels good man!!! glad you got to meet family that you never knew you had! and your grandma sounded wonderful :D
You're a good man. Wishing you the best to come.
That's my moms dad tooo! He has a separate family too but they all get along now
Definitely understand where ur moms coming from such hurt and heartbreak
Its nice to see these videos of you connecting with your extended family.
indeeeed
Your mom keeps it real. Just like my dad. He doesn't feel the need to reach out to people who don't think of him. Him returning would just mean $ and fake hospitality. He rather just enjoy visiting abroad then revisit memories that just bring up sorrow and sadness.
I shear a tear with you, I can feel your pain. Always remember our roots.
My grandma also have that same situation, my grandpa also left my grandma and my mom,8 uncles and aunts for years for another woman and raised her kids like his own. In 90s that woman left my grandpa with all of his money to America, he went back to my grandma with absolutely nothing but my grandma still has the same love, same emotion for him like in the pass.
A very toughing video Kyle. The story of your grand mother should be told to the entire world as an example of caring for others and determination to give her children a better life than she had. We can see that she acheived that and even more. I cried when you were in the alley and said taht there are 3 or more sides to every story because I could see how meeting these people had touched you, how it affected you. Thank you for sharing. After seeing this video, I can say that I love your grand mother too.
I have a great grandfather who also had a secret family back in Germany, maybe even two and it has always been a huge question mark in the family on who they are. We know of one of his kids names because he was in the same grade as my grandmother and he would ask her when he could have his daddy back. But the rest is a mystery as he died when my grandmother was 10. All that said, I wanted to commend you for putting the pieces of your family back together for future generations and for fearlessly facing it without judgement. The stories you will have to share with your own grandchildren will give them a strong foundation and a rich history, bravo!
You're such a brave man when you faced to the fact. Actually your mom had to spend the worst times when her dad left her family so she's difficult to accept the true. I think she need the time to heal her hurt in the past. It's good when they can exchange their munber and hopefully they will take a phone in the future.
Thank you Kyle for sharing your family's story.
I've had the desire to meet my mom's secret step family for a long time. Growing up, I heard about them here and there but nobody in America wanted to talk about it. Many years later, I finally convinced my Uncle 7 to take me to My Tho to visit them. It was very surreal to see how much they resemble my aunts in America. Meeting them allowed me to get to know my maternal grandfather a lot more. I honestly did not know anything about him at all. (He is not the same grandpa as my paternal one who went to France ua-cam.com/video/cKsC5Ck7QKU/v-deo.html) In the end, it's not right to blame anyone for things out of their control because every story has two or three sides. I'm just glad I had a chance to meet them and spend some time with them. I'm even more glad I got the chance to walk my grandmother's walk, something I've wanted to do also for years but the right opportunity never came up. I did not finish the walk. When it got too hot and time was winding down (a scheduled appointment in Saigon) I had to call my cousin. Even though I never met her, I wanted to create something to remember her, not only for myself or for you guys to get to know where I come from, but also for my own younger relatives. One day they can at least sort of see what their great grandmother, great great grandmother had to endure and get to know her a tiny bit better. Thank you for watching. If you have any issues with your family. Maybe try to resolve them before it's too late. Connect me with me on FB, Instagram, or Snapchat for a lot more. If you don't follow me on there, you're missing out on a lot!
Kyle Le Dot Net your mom went to high school in my tho?
Bien Hoa
This is definitely surreal Kyle. Thanks for sharing. p.s your Viet is very good hahaha I know coming from a Vietnamese family but born and raised up in Australia!!! @kylele
Oh I have step families too that I never knew about or mentioned. I could definitely relate to this video. My grandpa from my dad's side had few wives and so does my dad when my mom was still in vn.
Kyle Le Dot Net I.
Another great personal story. Thanks sharing Kyle.
You're a kind man. God will bless you. Thấy a đi bộ xa mà xót
going to vietnam this year alone to visit my uni friends, we havent meet for 5 years. hopefully he can give me a good tour around this country.
i have so much respect for you man....Watching your videos all the way from South Africa..... All I'm seeing here and all your other videos is what connects us as human. Lo, family, acceptance, belonging, etc.. Really so much respect for what you do.
Good for you. Next generation can chose to brake the cycle of secrets, and pain. All the best. Cam on rat nhieu em
You did an extremely great job, Kyle!!! You helped me a lot with this inspiring video.
Your channel is my absolute favorite. Your grandmother was very strong- mentally and physically, to endure so much.
Wow Kylele. I'm speechless and so proud of you as Vietnamese!!!!
Beautiful! Congrats on 100K Kyle!
I just watched it, I dont blame your mom for not wanting to talk to them, I am with her and your grandma was a super woman!
😢 I feel for your grandma & mom.
This is so common in VietNam. It happened to both of my mom and dad. I bet everyone of them suffer really bad. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Man you're family is complicated~ I watched the video and still don't know what's what. But your grandma sure was an amazing woman. If I heard stories like that about my own grand parents/parents. I'd be blubbing~
excatly
Every families has their dark secrets, including mine. Thanks for sharing Kyle.
Very very hard subject to tackle... kudos for you reaching out to your Grandfather other family, or second wife. I am impressed at your Ba Ngaoi struggle as well as your mom Struggle to live with dignity and leave the past behind. Thanks for Sharing
Great story and production Kyle. This may be my favorite video from you!
I hope a producer will be able to see this. This story is so melancholic.
The best video you have done! Thank you for doing this documentary. I didn't want it to end.
Beautiful videos! What a brilliant young man you are! Having the courage to look for the truth is to your credit.
Omg, your grandma walked that long with 30-40 kgs of sugar? Amazing strength. You walked with a backpack & you still couldn’t make it. Omg, your story sounds very similar to my mother’s and how her father had another wife & treated my grandmother really bad. He would hit her & live with the other woman. It made my grandmother go mentally ill for a period of time, but Buddha saved her because she was just a kind woman like your grandmother. I’ve been back to Vietnam many times & have met my grandfather, not a very likeable man. He has passed many years before my grandmother did. My beloved grandmother lived until 92 years old. I remember one year when I came back to put in money to rebuild her home, there was a lady there. I asked my sisters who that lady was, & they told me it was my grandfather’s 2nd wife. She was helping my grandmother out. They lived close by. Even my father had 2-3 wives. I understand it, but it doesn’t mean I accept it. I have like 4 step bothers & sister from my dad’s other relationships, but I don’t really care to know them much. I have met them. In Vietnam, everyone who knows you are from overseas seems to come out & say they knew you from when you were a kid, and are either an aunt or uncle. There are many with bad ulterior motives, like sucking money from you, & no matter how you give them it’s never enough. I only sent money home for my grandmother & my two blood brothers. We can’t save everyone & I am not responsible for my older families errors. It’s harsh, but sometimes all these family issues back in Vietnam can drive a wedge between families & the past never ends. I love your questioning on about “don’t they know when they sleep with someone, they will make her pregnant”? Kyle, in those days & even now, they don’t use or know what contraception is! Once a man takes a woman sexually, than he belongs to her. That’s the way old fashioned Vietnamese people saw it. That was life for them. Mum explained this to me. It’s odd to think that having many wives is acceptable, but to them it’s the norm back in those days.
You are an incredible young man & are changing so many lives with your storytelling. Keep it up!
Your grandma was Amazing!!
Thank you for sharing this video. This will help many families and many people. I see the fractured relationships on both sides of my parents' families. The childrens from spouse one and and the children from spouse two are distant. Half brothers and sisters who are angry and want nothing to do with each others because of what their parents did. It's odd to meet aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings that your parents have powerful and painful memories of because of what their parents' actions. It's good to see you try to get a greater understanding of your history. Many of your viewers will connect with this taboo subject that we kinda heard about in the family but aren't sure and don't really know how to approach it with of the elders. Thank you again for sharing.
One of your best. Very moving. It's a common theme of returnees, finding "secret" families.
Bless your grandma's soul.
Another great story kyle keep up the awesome work your grandpa is a player player hahaha
Amazing Kyle, just amazing. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks.
Mad respect for you and your grandmother!!
Kyle! Don`t give this people a penny. They don`t deserve any help from you.
Thank you for sharing, Kyle! I realized that this situation was very common back in the time. As I grew up, I just discovered more and more secrets. It's a little different from my family that my grandma holds the grudge, not my aunts and uncles, and I know she would keep it until the day she leaves. The fact that my family (which includes my dad's siblings and my mom's siblings) is pretty much united, really caring for each other, helping each other so that all of us succeed in life. That's why it's like you said, I feel 'áy náy' when I know that my half-family isn't doing that well. Although I'm not close to them at all, I still feel something deep down my heart. Thank you again for an insightful video!
I want to go to VN to find out stories of my great grandfather and his life. I heard stories here of what happened and my great uncle is still alive to give me a glimpse of that life. But I don't know if I ever have the energy and the time to head back to spend the needed time to found the truth.
Great storytelling/flow in this video, Kyle! Loved it!
Great story Kyle. It was great to watch as you seek out perspective to understand more about the past and the twist of fate.
You have a great grandma who has a huge heart ❤️.
Great story, true soul of a filmmaker. You touched with only telling. Thanks!
