If only he'd realized he was enough, was good enough, instead of being so hard on himself! It's beyond sad how his father abandoned him and his mother was too young to realize her child needed counseling.

​@DianeHughes45 his father abandoned him???

@@lilc5353 yes, in Matthew's memoir he said his father drove Matthew and his mom to the Canadian border and left them.

@grumpycat2489 - Hmmm, I'd say all the serial womanising, ie breaking off perfectly good relationships with wonderful women (just as he himself accused himself of), would have been his biggest flaw. For someone as smart as he was, the constant "moving on" was an unexplainable, but huge problem. A problem to himself worst of all of course, but really, just think how many loving women's hearts he broke. Rinse and repeat...and I know it wasn't because he didn't know any better. It was his lifelong battle with his addict's betrayals of those closest to him that most likely was the cause--all painfully real even if you "know better"....😢💔💔💔💔

*his disease (addiction) broke. He was just the human conduit for the devastating heartbreaks (in his women & himself) his disease always caused. So ladies, choose your loved ones/friends 😅 extremely carefully: no matter how good, smart, kind, and well-intentioned your beloved might be, run a thousand miles in the opposite direction if your loved one happens to be an addict (of anything). Turn around and run. You can't help him, and he WILL betray you. Nothing to do with your personality, you would've just been the only or closest resource for him. So that's who they will betray WHEN they slip up/relapse. Because addicts always relapse: it's the nature of the thing. The only thing they control will be the first gulp of their first drink.

He would have been a wonderful father to BEAUTIFUL Children with any of these women. MP was so handsome. I’d pick Matthew Perry over Brad Pitt ANY DAY

He found his lady, it was called vodka and OxyContin Sad sad life he had

Loyal?

@@ToothlessPotter exactly ...I was gonna say

​@@AT-cy7im I believe he had been sober a long time before he died though. That was specific btw. Have you read his book?

Just think if he would of been still hanging around his friend Chris Farley . He may have hooked him up with Trashy girls !!!

🙏🙏🙏

Oh he loved himself

​@@janeoleary8454What do you mean? He sounds like he wasn't confident enough to be with these amazing women.

@@janeoleary8454 He had low self-esteem and severe self-confidence issues as well as anxiety and depression. He said he loathed himself. 😔

​@Rick_Cleland right!

Mostly brunettes if not all

Yeah that's her. Had to quickly Google right away what movie that was while reading the book

It was Three to Tango

🤔

What ??

Mckenna Clan? I'm Cleland Clan.

The women would have had to agreed to have had kids with him too. It's not just a one way street decision to have kids. He did want kids. But the women probably didn't want to being a baby into this world with a father with a heavy drug ans alcohol problem. Those women probably preferred a husband and father to their children who did not have a drug problem. I do think he would he would have been an excellent father and a husband. But, when he cleaned himself up and became sober, which I believe he did clean up towards his later years.

@@Taylor086 drug addiction hasn’t stopped other famous celebrities from reproducing.

​@@gbear2253true, but Perry has clearly only had serious relationships with very smart women. That's not the most popular choice among rich addicts.

Or Julia Roberts

He had a deep fear of commitment and sabotaged any relationship he had (from his memoir), he deeply regretted not getting married or having kids and was still hoping for this at the end of the book

Same here..

Matthew died the day before My birthday 😭😭😭😭😭so very very sad that Matthew , Has passed away 💔💔💔💔💔

Mee too, my birthday comes in 17th August, 1999 & Matthew was born in 19th August 1969, so he was 30 years old, when I was born !!!! I really miss him.

He will be sadly missed ......... by his therapist, and local liquor store ......... great ride while it lasted !

No they didn't

He asked her out, she declined and just wanted to remain friends.

​@@berylglynn2725probably because he wasnt all that cute like brad pitt!!!

Definitely

Dude, chill out.

And rightfully so.He was brilliant and KIND, unlike you.

@@Rick_Cleland your right. However I am getting annoyed of the media portraying him as the greatest person of all time.

@@davidr4523 He was hardly the greatest person of all time, his addictions made people suffer a lot of pain. The people closest to him suffered the most. But that doesn't mean he wasn't a good person.

Nonsense.

No he wasn't. That's the whole problem. He didn't love himself.

​@@foreverme3078bullcrap. Narcissist

​@@Rick_Clelandno it's not

@@janeoleary8454 Yes it is. I don't know what you've been watching about him. People "too in love with themselves" do not open a sober living home to help others overcome their addictions.

No, he has major attachment issues and self worth issues. He had a strained relationship with his mother so he is scared of being abandoned so he abandons them first

​@truthseeker12523 I did the same for many years. I had such a great fear of rejection, since I was raised by two extreme narcissists that never actually cared about me & were always secretly trying to hurt me, so that I acted careless & aloof, as a way of protecting myself. I had major trust issues & was always waiting for the guy to figure out all my flaws and decide that they didn't actually like me. Many of us treat others badly because we don't know any other way.

maybe he never found his monica😢

i cant believe he was a joey in real life

I've thought that MANY TIMES
