Yall know I been dealing with a lot of mental issues as well as my oldest son. He’s in a facility now getting the help he needs. Long story short it was just revealed to me that some things have taken place And his mother has kept from me and told him and our other children not to tell me
All I’m gone say is be there for them and listen
Once I told my son I wouldn’t look at him any different and I’m here for him he finally checked himself in
 
Yeah, that’s something I need to work on is letting my kids know they can tell me anything. Wasn’t like that when I was growing. It was be seen and not heard type shit. Not on no abuse shit, but there was a clear line between what I could and couldn’t talk to my parents about and that probably still holds true even as an adult. Talking to my sisters there a lot of family trauma that I just don’t know about that she went through. It’s hard to not be a product of how you were raised but you gotta try when you know better. :cool:

This is truth.

I grew up never getting a hug or a kiss from my parents. I didn’t even know I was suppose to until a female i dated asked me…when I told her that she broke down crying. I didn’t even understand the ramifications of that.

But long story short…..what I didn’t get I give my kids. Your little girls need that to so they can know what the standard is. Especially from a man. Break them generational curses fellas. We don’t have to be our parents.

I never understood why it was so easy for me to tell my son that I love him but I couldn't tell my father this unless it was a special occasion. I tell my son I love him all the time, but I just started like in the last 3 weeks telling my father that. I can't remember what we were talking about but he said it and now I say it every time we get off the phone or in person, even if he doesn't say it. Growing up we never said it to each other every day, but I knew that my parents loved me. We hug more and stuff, but we just never verbalized in that way and it's not like my pops is rigid or anything, we just never said it.

I feel that. That’s my mom. She ain’t like rough or like you said rigid. She just never displayed affection to me that I found out women do do. Pops same way. But as an adult I see why. My grandparents was the same way:

I think most of us grew up like this, me included.
 
No kissing but I do hug him a lot and tell him I love him and dap him up a lot.
I know it's cliched, but its kind of an insult when someone says "did you not get hugged as a child?" but it's true. This is why you got these incels running around here hating on women. They weren't shown love in the proper way and then they become allergic to physical touch.

It's crazy, I didn't get a lot of them. I haven't had the luxury or pleasure of having kids of my own, but if I did I would love on my kids the way I should have been loved on
 
Life is work. Fuck luck. Be kind and loving to your family and everyone else.
I get what you are saying, but some of us were raised without family support. I worked in group homes and saw some really sad stories, plus after my mom died, my siblings and I were basically on our own, I basically grew up unsupervised since 16.
So from my perspective if you have family that's there for you considered it a blessing because not having it ain't it.
 
I’m excited as hell, tmw night me and my middle son (my profile pic) get to play together semi pro basketball (we lied about his age lol)

I already told him because I pay child support I’m not passing him the ball :roflmao3:
 
Well, we got to play semi pro basketball in Nashville together
We only got to play a half because he got elbowed in the face and needed stitches
I’m proud of my son though, at 15 he held his own against grown men
He was upset and crying and wanted to finish playing
I said “son they will be more games it’s ok”
He said “yeah but how much longer are you able to play and how often does anyone get to play on the same court as their father”
So now we both crying :crymeariver:
 
Tonight I taught my 14 year old son how to tie a tie. It was a magnificent experience for me. I learned how to tie a tie from Dr. H W Brindle, while attending JHS 142 in the 80s. Rest in peace to the late great Dr H W Brindle.
Was on vacation and taught my 14 year old over the phone via FaceTime , he’s so hard on himself to get it right. He was clean as shit for his 8th grade dance. He mastered it about a week later. Size 13 shoe 6ft and I’m already hitting him with custom suits, it’s cheaper than off the rack after alterations and he gets to design fine details.

Your son has a great mindset. It’s refreshing to hear he was frustrated about the experience being cut short, as he wanted more time out there on court hoopin’ with you. That’s a mature take on his part.

Gonna see my pops today and tomorrow. 50th bday dinner for cousin tonight, and dinner and watching shows with pops tomorrow.
