My dad had a loud voice, sometimes had no idea if he was yelling or talking haha. My grandpa was the same. Love this guy's. So funny. And so genuine. These are real things. My dad always said he got whipped as a kid. He didn't want to be that way with me and my brother. Never was spanked. But got yelled at a lot. Ha. He mostly did what you said. Just sat us down and talked. Life lessons. I understand that red zone. I have a bad habit of taking things out on my husband or projecting to my daughter, we call it crazy mom time. My daughter is exactly like my so we push against each other so much when we are both having what we call nour bipolar moments. It sucks.. then we are good and I think what the hell is wrong with me. So as you say, I've been noticing more lately, and I catch myself more, which is so much better than fighting ya know? On a side note I really need to buy your book. Is it on Amazon. Or through a website?
You’re right. He SHOULD go on DWTS. I don’t know who we write to about that. He’s on an ABC show,that should help. Kelly Monaco won the 1st season, but things are a lot tougher now.
@@cards0486: Are you saying, she shouldn't have won? I thought she worked very hard and I for one, voted for her to win. Certainly over....John O'Hurley🙄🙄. My late mother 💔💔 preferred him, but what made his "do-over" victory SO distasteful was, he pretty much threw a tantrum because he LOST...in the ORIGINAL finals dance!!
Dominic is the best actor to go toe to toe with Maurice. Their senses of humor and depth of vulnerability as actors are so well matched as father and son characters. So so happy Dominic is back, and hope he sticks around. Loved that he came on to talk about such personal topics.
Thank You both for showing us the vulnerability side of men , we don’t often see it and it’s refreshing to see the 2 of you have such a open honest conversation about what makes you tick and what sets you off and how you reign it in. You continue to be a wonderful beacon for mental health awareness in this world Maurice, Stay safe! So enjoyed You and Dom
This honest raw conversation is so needed. This is something that more parents need to attempt and take to heart. Having an honest talk with the people you love. Get to their level. Especially children. Regardless of age. The difference it makes matters.
Years ago I visited Montreal Canada and the very first thing I always say about it is that it was very CLEAN, Including the metro. Montreal was also very beautiful too, so it’s ironic that Maurice said the same thing, that Canada is clean. 👍🏻
I’m Greek, too and we are yellers. We are very loud people even when we are not angry. My mom used to chase me with a wooden spoon or a slipper when I misbehaved. When my son was young, he wasn’t intimidated by me yelling at him at all. One day, I caught myself taking my anger out on my very smart, strong-willed, and large son. I regretted it instantly and vowed never to do it again. He still frustrates the heck out of me but I just stick to yelling. He’s now 6 feet tall and towers over me! Thanks for sharing.
I'm from Brazil, love General Hospital and love more to know better you Maurice and Dominic...Brazilians, Italyans and Spanishs are so much alike...Sorry my English is to basic, but I hope you understand what I'm saying...Thanks!
I didn’t think I could love these two together any more. But it’s a whole new level when we get to see their real relationship and how terrific they both are.
Hi Maurice and Dominic I have watched general hospital since I was in elementary school and I am 60 years old now but I can relate to the bypolar my sweet son suffered from it and he was murdered back in 4-9-15 he was only 29 years old he had a good sense of humor but people took advantage of his good nature and kindness just when I was just starting to understand what he was going through his girlfriend kept breaking him back down and he died over$20.00 trying to feed her at my place when I was at my father's house trying to take care of a sick old man and she got him murdered it is still so painful for me l had my boy first and then my daughter but I know that I will see him in heaven some day because he believes in the Lord and Jesus Christ amen
@@cindywellons thank you for your heart felt thoughts and yes I miss him every day I will be able to get to see him in heaven some day every once in a while he still let's me know he is still with me with a little tough its weird but awesome thanks he is only one of my angels
I don't have any kids of my own. I do need to say this my mom God rest in peace. She was very strict with me. I found out why she was strict. I was VERY GULLIBLE when I was younger like in my teens and young. My mom made very sure that nothing would happen to me in school. I loved how my mother raised me. Now the kids that are my age or younger. I can't believe how generation is now. I loved how you talked to Dominic. I am very sorry for the spelling. That was a great conversation. Thank you so very much Maurice Benard!🙏💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I lived in Costa Rica a little over 2 years & while the guy dated from there for a year unfortunately lost his favorite cousin in a bad work accident. At the family gathering, night before the service, he started to cry, his mother & aunts told him to stop crying. This broke my heart. So one minute the women there complained about how the men were too heartless but the next they didn’t let them have feelings? As well, they treat them like babies, so how can they grow up to be strong men over the household with such mixed signals. My paternal grandfather is from Cuba & they always loved my brother more. So seeing this is Costa Rica brought her his to light even more. It’s heartbreaking & affects the whole family.
My mother was very abusive to my sister and I when we were growing up (and in some ways she still is). The main thing that helped me develop a better relationship with my own child was coming to the realization that the flip side of my anger was actually disappointment. That mindset helps me even with strangers. For example, when someone cuts me off when I'm driving, I initially get mad because (for some reason lol) I expect better from them and when I realize that's where the bulk of my anger comes from, it helps me calm down a lot faster. Approaching my daughter from that perspective, especially when she was little, has made a world of difference and it's allowed us to have open dialogue with each other instead of going off or shutting down. Great video.
I watched these in reverse order but the effect is the same. I am blown away and I thank you both for your honesty and ability to put such emotion into words. Bless you both.🗽🕯️🕊️🌌
I just know that my son is not suffering anymore and he is not getting beat up and not hungry because God and both of his grandmother's are taking care of him and I will see him again once again some day God bless you always Maurice and Dominic
@@sandraoefinger1510 Hi yes my family have a hard time with religion ☯️ but I have never had a problem with God and Jesus Christ because for years they have been really by my side thought the good and the bad but I also know that my son loved the Lord 🙏 and I always tried to teach him lean on the Lord and Jesus Christ and learn more about them because I might not be around if something happens to him or me but to to get to see each other again in heaven not to go to the dark side and stay with God 🙏 amen
Maurice and Dominic, I got the belt too from my dad between the ages of 6-12. Got slapped several times from both parents. I was only hit once w/ a closed fist from dad that gave me a bloody nose at age 12. Discipline was a serious thing back in the 70s/80s and it may have kept me out of jail and going w/ the wrong crowd. Unfortunately, my dad doesn't remember a damn thing about the belt or anything else. I kind of wanted him to apologize before it's too late. Thanks for this show.
I was married 24 years and I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer diagnosed and died 2 months later I don't go into deep thought of him because I can't handle it .So one day I'm laying down watching tv and my husband popped into my head and it went thru my mind he's gone and then I started to panic and this feeling was in my chest so I jumped up and went outside cried and the panic feeling took a little bit to leave I pray that I never have enough panic attack it was such an awful horrible feeling.I take meds for my anxiety and I find Maurice's voice is calming for me .Thank you Maurice God Bless
The 2 of you are excellent role models. This was a very important conversation and I hope all young men are watching this. Thank you from all the women
Thank you for these episodes! People hurt people they love the most because they are safe places, and they aren’t likely to pick up and leave... that’s what wise people have told me anyway. I loved your book! I started it last Sunday and finished it on Tuesday... could have finished sooner if not for responsibilities. EMDR didn’t work for me either!! There’s no doubt you have bipolar, but has anyone ever mentioned a PTSD co-diagnosis? You have been dealt a lot of blows in life! I have anxiety, but counselors have also diagnosed me with PTSD due to the multiple traumatic experiences I’ve had. Also... you gotta stop dying your hair on the show!! That salt and pepper hair and beard would bring a new layer to Sonny!! Rant over 😀 Thank you for being you!
Great conversation with my two favorite actors. The chemistry is natural and comes across on screen. Important conversation, thank you both for the honesty.
Great segment. I like the way Dom described the “steps”. It is exactly that way. Just never knew it in that way. My mother, to this day, says she will never apologize fir the discipline we endured. For that exact reason, I do apologize and I apologize a lot.
I'm so happy for you and Dominic to be together like father and son. You both are god blessed and I trusted you boths 💯 🙏 my prayer is with you boths . Im still watching your shows every day never missed it 🤗💯
Happened upon this early this morning. THANK you. I needed it. You are a serendipitous blessing, Maurice. Hearing your (& Dom's) honest truth makes me feel "normal". :)
Thank you guys for sharing. Vulnerability can be a strength. I have had a hard time with the isolation during this pandemic. Staying busy helps. Love you both ☺️👏👍
I want to see more.. when it’s getting interesting it’s finish 😪great interview. This makes me evaluate my life has a child and how I deal with anger has an adult.
I never been hit/belt so I never did that with my children! I took away everything they loved! Like put in my trunk, take to work with me! I would even call the school to see if they were late and I mean actually go physically take their car and leave mine just to get them through High School being a single mom is hard! I don't know tough love!
Thank you for creating such an open dialogue about such important issues and for us women its huge to see men such as your self being vulnerable and so open about such personal aspects of your selves. I am Italian and I can tell you only in the few years before my dad passed away did I see that softer side. This is really needed now more than every, to have open honest real conversations about such topics. Both of you are empathic which is why you're so affected by things and it just makes you that much stronger because you can connect with others on a deeper level and I feel you will help so many with State of Mind. Adore you both on Gh and off screen, keep sharing your light, love and laughter with the world it really makes a difference
EXCELLENT! As a female mental health therapist who has worked in prison (25 Years), it would be so good to have male role models like the two of you discussing (and elaborating) this. Most guys in prison still believe the lies and think beating their kids make them better- despite the fact of where they are sitting, in large part b/c of their poor, abusive parenting histories. Multigenerational transmission of dysfunction... it needs to be broken... Go volunteer to work with men in prison, doing things like this, please.
Wonderful episode! I love how you and Dom interact! Also how Dom has come to control his anger with his kids! Thank you so much for talking about this, I was physically abused as a child, I have forgiven but never forgot!
Yes... parents need to apologize even if it didn't happen to them as a child. My husband said when our kids were born...we will apologize when we make mistakes. My kids are grown and we all apologize as adults
I really appreciate these conversations Maurice about parenting. This is really helpful to me as I am "in the red zone" frequently with my son who has special needs and his own emotional control issues. We are supposed to try to set examples, and I am often acting like he is! I find these conversations very meaningful and thank you for sharing them both of you!
You guys are the best. Love watching you on GH and on State of Mind. God bless you. I really am touched when you speak of biploar as I lived it for 30 yrs with my X. Unfortunately his denial he still hasn't taken control of it. And, he has gotten really worse and not on meds. I continue to pray.
I ALWAYS ENJOY THIS SHOW SHOW & LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH TIME I WATCH!! THANK GOD FOR MAURICE BENARD AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS/COWORKERS!!! DOMINIC IS THE PERFECT ACTOR TO PLAY "SONNY'S" OLDEST SON!!! THEY LOOK SO MUCH LIKE THEY ARE REAL LIFE FATHER & SON!!! BOTH HANDSOME VERY TALENTED GENTLEMEN!!! I LOVE DANTE WITH SAM ON THE SHOW, BUT I WANT SONNY BACK WITH HIS TRUE LOVE ❤ CARLY!!
I don't care what color your hair is. You are a amazing actor and incredibly handsome. I love your sense of humor. Have you ever thought about hosting a soap talk show.??????
Thank you so much for sharing this! It shows you are real people just like the rest of us. Still hoping Brenda will come back for Sonny and Lulu for Danta:)
My Dad used his WW2 PARATROOPER BELT on us. My sister raised me cuz mommy died when I was 6 months old. She was 14. My brother joined the USMC and survived Beirut barracks bombing in '83. And I have worked retail since '87. We got our family issues like any other. But we are decent folks with adult children. And then something clicks. It's BECAUSE you LOVE THE PERSON, that's why it hurts so badly; when someone fails, gives up, is sick, addicted, abusive. Or because someone you love hurts you deeply. I mean deeeeeeeply hurt. Would you feel emotionally pained as much with a stranger as you would with your OWN SON? DAUGHTER? No. That is EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY. AND the love of your fellow man. It's different, I think. You have come full circle. Don't worry gentlemen. You're doing just fine.
I am so grateful to you and all your guests. If I could make you a huge thank you card I would. :-) I have struggled with mental illness for as long as I can remember. I have a wide variety of things that don't work quite right. I have hidden must stuff from my friends (except for the Bipolar stuff). Professionally, I hid most of it. Sometimes I would share with clients when they just needed to know someone was there. Not very often at all. I decided about a year ago that I am not going to hide who I am anymore. Fuck em. I am now trying to figure out how I work and deal with the stuff I deal with. Mr. Bernard, I use you as an example of how it can be done. I use your guests as examples of how it can be done. I hope you get this message because I really want you to know you are affected people out here. I love your performances. And I really think you are very suited for helping people to talk.
Hi Maurice Bernard and Dominic Zamprogna I’m a huge fan of both you. I call Dominic my tv husband 💍🙈🙊🙊, I have a huge crush on him ❤️❤️. You two are really good on General Hospital
Maurice looks so damn *GOOD* with that salt and pepper hair and beard! Can Sonny Please come back looking like this! And Dominic is one Fine specimen of a man 😍
This is all so true pattern we do it is hard for me at 36 i am learning so much and going to search for help to learn techniques to live a healthier mentally stable life
You will complete the mission Dom! Loool. 😂 Gotta love these 2!😊 Dom my last name is never pronounced right. Gagliardi the GLI is really a silent G so pronounced as if it's Galiardi. Americanized way is Gag-li-ar-di . So we go by Gags. It's just easier nickname. You 2 stud muffins shave your mugs 😂😂😎😎 My Dad was a throat grabber when younger & irate. I was blue once he was so mad I was stoned on pot at like 15 and had to dig nails an inch deep in arms to pull him off. Dom, mine was really apologetic and especially with Marks on me. Near tears.So it's old school parents , born in Other Countries, Maurice.Don't hold that pain. Look how much your Dad loves and appreciates you! Same here❤ Josh isn't scared of anyone.💯I think he's gonna defy Paula there and be a Boxer.( it can get dicey) I'm dying!😂That was good Maurice! Sorry Paula, no disrespect Mam,but I see a beast in making Boxing wise! 👊Don't get mad at me please, but he's a fearless kid.You want the music and acting so your baby won't get hurt. Oh, You like the Italian culture Maurice & if you had to be anything else you would choose Italian LOL I say that because the way you made Sonny. That is an Italian like wise guy! I wish shocked when I realized you weren't Italian. Then again early on Vic Many from NJ played Sonny's enforcer a few times. God rest his soul! 🙏So you we're exposed to men of that way.
State Of Mind with Dominic Zamprogna Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/8Vker1M3Uqw/v-deo.html
My father was a yeller, I called him The Opera Singer. lol
Same with my family, I am just a loud person happy and angry
My dad had a loud voice, sometimes had no idea if he was yelling or talking haha. My grandpa was the same. Love this guy's. So funny. And so genuine. These are real things. My dad always said he got whipped as a kid. He didn't want to be that way with me and my brother. Never was spanked. But got yelled at a lot. Ha. He mostly did what you said. Just sat us down and talked. Life lessons. I understand that red zone. I have a bad habit of taking things out on my husband or projecting to my daughter, we call it crazy mom time. My daughter is exactly like my so we push against each other so much when we are both having what we call nour bipolar moments. It sucks.. then we are good and I think what the hell is wrong with me. So as you say, I've been noticing more lately, and I catch myself more, which is so much better than fighting ya know? On a side note I really need to buy your book. Is it on Amazon. Or through a website?
Maurice I love you on GH
My grandma told me i had a loud speaker 🤣
Dominic should do Dancing With The Stars. Both his parents are dancers, he took dance lessons. He should definitely go on the show.
Excellent idea. Yum 👍
Better yet, The Masked Singer. ❤️
@@hunterking4045 Oh, I think he should if he has a dance background. If Kelly Monaco can do it, Dominic certainly can. :)
You’re right. He SHOULD go on DWTS. I don’t know who we write to about that. He’s on an ABC show,that should help.
Kelly Monaco won the 1st season, but things are a lot tougher now.
@@cards0486: Are you saying, she shouldn't have won? I thought she worked very hard and I for one, voted for her to win. Certainly over....John O'Hurley🙄🙄.

Bravo to 2 males being real and raw. This is priceless and so valued. Thank You

Wonderful episode! I love how you and Dom interact! Also how Dom has come to control his anger with his kids! Thank you so much for talking about this, I was physically abused as a child, I have forgiven but never forgot!
Thanks
Yes... parents need to apologize even if it didn't happen to them as a child. My husband said when our kids were born...we will apologize when we make mistakes. My kids are grown and we all apologize as adults
Love these discussions!
This was so great. ❤❤
Love you guys!
This is going to be epic!!!!
Love your episodes. This one was extra special with Dominic.
Have tickets to Fan fest for almost a year now! Can’t wait to go when it is safe for us all!
Thank you for sharing this program.
I ❤ both of you ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I do appreciate your UA-cam Cast. I relate much.
I really appreciate these conversations Maurice about parenting. This is really helpful to me as I am "in the red zone" frequently with my son who has special needs and his own emotional control issues. We are supposed to try to set examples, and I am often acting like he is! I find these conversations very meaningful and thank you for sharing them both of you!
You guys are the best. Love watching you on GH and on State of Mind. God bless you. I really am touched when you speak of biploar as I lived it for 30 yrs with my X. Unfortunately his denial he still hasn't taken control of it. And, he has gotten really worse and not on meds. I continue to pray.
Thank you for this show~ 💖
Love this channel 🙌🙌🙌
I ALWAYS ENJOY THIS SHOW SHOW & LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH TIME I WATCH!! THANK GOD FOR MAURICE BENARD AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS/COWORKERS!!! DOMINIC IS THE PERFECT ACTOR TO PLAY "SONNY'S" OLDEST SON!!! THEY LOOK SO MUCH LIKE THEY ARE REAL LIFE FATHER & SON!!! BOTH HANDSOME VERY TALENTED GENTLEMEN!!! I LOVE DANTE WITH SAM ON THE SHOW, BUT I WANT SONNY BACK WITH HIS TRUE LOVE ❤ CARLY!!
SORRY I SAID SHOW SHOW!!! I START TYPING & MAKE STUPID MISTAKES!!!
I don't care what color your hair is. You are a amazing actor and incredibly handsome. I love your sense of humor. Have you ever thought about hosting a soap talk show.??????
Thank you so much for sharing this! It shows you are real people just like the rest of us. Still hoping Brenda will come back for Sonny and Lulu for Danta:)
love these talks
I love this! It’s great to see you together!
This was a great chat. I loved everything about it. I can't wait until part 2.
My Dad used his WW2 PARATROOPER BELT on us.
My sister raised me cuz mommy died when I was 6 months old. She was 14.
My brother joined the USMC and survived Beirut barracks bombing in '83. And I have worked retail since '87.
We got our family issues like any other. But we are decent folks with adult children.
And then something clicks.
It's BECAUSE you LOVE THE PERSON, that's why it hurts so badly; when someone fails, gives up, is sick, addicted, abusive. Or because someone you love hurts you deeply.
I mean deeeeeeeply hurt.
Would you feel emotionally pained as much with a stranger as you would with your OWN SON? DAUGHTER?
No.
That is EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY. AND the love of your fellow man.
It's different, I think.
You have come full circle. Don't worry gentlemen.
You're doing just fine.
Hello from Brantford, Dom☺
I remember Dominic was in a "Supernatural" episode, I think he played a Vampire!
LOVE IT!!!
Hey love your show
I am so grateful to you and all your guests. If I could make you a huge thank you card I would. :-) I have struggled with mental illness for as long as I can remember. I have a wide variety of things that don't work quite right. I have hidden must stuff from my friends (except for the Bipolar stuff). Professionally, I hid most of it. Sometimes I would share with clients when they just needed to know someone was there. Not very often at all. I decided about a year ago that I am not going to hide who I am anymore. Fuck em. I am now trying to figure out how I work and deal with the stuff I deal with. Mr. Bernard, I use you as an example of how it can be done. I use your guests as examples of how it can be done. I hope you get this message because I really want you to know you are affected people out here. I love your performances. And I really think you are very suited for helping people to talk.
Hi Maurice Bernard and Dominic Zamprogna I’m a huge fan of both you. I call Dominic my tv husband 💍🙈🙊🙊, I have a huge crush on him ❤️❤️. You two are really good on General Hospital
God bless you
Maurice looks so damn *GOOD* with that salt and pepper hair and beard! Can Sonny Please come back looking like this! And Dominic is one Fine specimen of a man 😍
This is all so true pattern we do it is hard for me at 36 i am learning so much and going to search for help to learn techniques to live a healthier mentally stable life
as a friend called my husband, "mountain men".. I love the look
I wouldn't say they look like mountain men because that makes me think of "Deliverance" lol. They look like two Harley men to me.
You will complete the mission Dom! Loool. 😂 Gotta love these 2!😊 Dom my last name is never pronounced right.
Gagliardi the GLI is really a silent G so pronounced as if it's Galiardi. Americanized way is Gag-li-ar-di . So we go by Gags. It's just easier nickname. You 2 stud muffins shave your mugs 😂😂😎😎 My Dad was a throat grabber when younger & irate. I was blue once he was so mad I was stoned on pot at like 15 and had to dig nails an inch deep in arms to pull him off. Dom, mine was really apologetic and especially with Marks on me. Near tears.So it's old school parents , born in Other Countries, Maurice.Don't hold that pain. Look how much your Dad loves and appreciates you! Same here❤ Josh isn't scared of anyone.💯I think he's gonna defy Paula there and be a Boxer.( it can get dicey) I'm dying!😂That was good Maurice!
Sorry Paula, no disrespect Mam,but I see a beast in making Boxing wise! 👊Don't get mad at me please, but he's a fearless kid.You want the music and acting so your baby won't get hurt. Oh, You like the Italian culture Maurice & if you had to be anything else you would choose Italian LOL I say that because the way you made Sonny. That is an Italian like wise guy! I wish shocked when I realized you weren't Italian. Then again early on Vic Many from NJ played Sonny's enforcer a few times. God rest his soul! 🙏So you we're exposed to men of that way.
