Yes he did. He’s full of LOVE....you can definitely feel it when telling that duck story. He made me 😀!

I loved seeing him telling about that. Hopefully he gets stable enough soon and maybe he could get a little dog or something. This man deserves love. It breaks my heart.

What a sweet man

Child hood trauma is 93% of the interviews on this channel

well he still became a decent person, which masses of non abused persons did not

@@Asapgross p

😭

Yep. Please stop having kids you don't want.

right? i don't remember much from when i was 6 and i'm in my twenties. i hope things look up for david

Lol ill always rember my step mom telling me “if i had it my way youd be 6 feet under right now”

Seriously its fucking crazy, but for him to still be here after all of that shows his strength

Tongues have no bones but they can break a heart.

@@TobyW360 terrible thing for an adult to say to a child 😒

SO HEAVY

He seems like such a kind soul. He deserves to know love- TRUE love, even if it's through getting a little doggie or something (if he gets to a point that he can care for it of course) . He has so much love to give

Very

This first line...

never know what a person been through

So crazy 🥲🥲🥲

@@adamschaeffer4057 I wish u and ur son many blessings. U are a stand-up man. 💯 The mother will reap what she sow. There is no reason for a woman to not have a natural bond and automatically nurture their child. I apologize ur son is experiencing that.

@@adamschaeffer4057 blessings to you and your son my mother did the same thing please do your best to build and protect his confidence and trust 🙏 ❤

@@adamschaeffer4057 I raised my daughter as a single parent. How I dealt with the situation was to explain to her that some people are grown up on the outside but on the inside they're little kids.

I know. This was so sad 😞

That's what I said! He's such a sweetheart. He deserves to know what love feels like before his time is up and I can tell by his duck story that he has so much love to give. ❤ I hope to see a follow-up with him.

E v e r y single one seems to have been sexually and/or mentally abused. AND seems once they get put in foster homes the abuse gets worse. It is just so sad.

It’s so everyday in way people just won’t accept it. It’s imposssible to stop.

Trauma is the REAL GATEWAY “DRUG”

@@jonescrusher1 I won't say it's impossible. Change begins with awareness, and thousands of eyes are being opened with these stories. The original comment shows just that.

He's definitely a loveable human being.

He's pitiful...emotional pain will make a person do a lot of things they shouldn't be doing

@Mike Ratliff kinda cold hearted no?

@@SittinNBitchin how mean

What's the difference ?

48 years to get his stuff together. There is people with upbringing 10 times worse and they still make it thru life.

I totally agree with you

💗

God has helped me a lot to get beyond the pain and disappointment of my childhood. I trusted Him to give me a heart of flesh for a heart of stone and He did what I couldn't do. I'm happy to hear that trusing in Him has made a difference in your life.😊💖

May God bestow many blessings upon you.

I didn't realize there are programs that do that much. It's encouraging.

@@4knewt505 There'd be a certain amount of housing put by for people like him in Ireland. Having his accommodation looked after, and utilities paid for the remaining of his pension to feed himself etc.

Well said💜

My thoughts actually.

My heart breaks for this man. But also makes me smile because from what I see he is trying to be a good man and with all his circumstances and setbacks that life has dealt him he still seems to have a great perspective. I wish him only happiness!

@Floyd Dobbler no just bad grammar but thanks for the correction.

I know

Shts sad

In the process, K2 makes you cry inside all the time… on the bright side, for some addicts that started binge-smoking marijuana and moved to spice at one point , if withdrawing using all drugs at the end it gives you some closure I guess most struggling addicts been looking for throughout the whole time

mann

Word?

He might not abuse it

@@itslilbackwood currently trying to kick that shit, i know like 1, maybe 2 people who sometimes use it but not abuse. one of the hardest drugs to use but not get spiraled into a terrible addiction. it might sound like bullshit but actually isnt when people say its the crack version of weed

Holy shit he can’t think of a single happy memory...

you literally took the words out of my mouth.

@@MLMenjoyer His duck! 🦆

💖

I loved that part too, Kevin.

Amen, Kevin.

He was pooping every damn where... it made me chuckle. So sweet

It was really sweet, but it made me sad that that was his favorite memory.

:)

@@sheepnomore8063 having a pet or someone to be there for you can be a huge memory regardless of how old you are. He was on the streets for 48 years and finally getting a pet that he could be with isn’t a small thing like it is with others his age

@@RSPSgamerHD Agreed. But if you remember, he initially said that he didn't have any. Then he remembered his duck. It speaks a lot that he couldn't think of anything until the duck came to mind.

Amen!😊💖

Amen!

Amen!!

Compared to some stories I heard on this channel, his is not that bad. I heard stories here that just cascades from tragedy to tragedy. He seem to be in good spirit despite it all though.

@deltawaave u anit seen nothing yet keep watching

It’s so hard to forgive people who’ve hurt us......let’s live by his example....let’s be Godly people too, 💕💗💞.

@Mike Ratliff how is this "gay"? And even so how is that an insult?

@Mike Ratliff dude come on, u can’t be that hateful

Great ideal

@Mike Ratliff stfu

@Mike Ratliff being attracted to men makes you gay, nothing more or less dumbass

Wise Man 💕

Well put!

I’m super happy he has housing and assistance too, some people don’t deserve it but people like this do.

Taking into account his mother may not have ever known love to give to someone else. We don't know her upbringing and damage she carried over. That's why its called a CYCLE. His best words... can't say if life is or isn't fair. It's life. Move along with it. Nice to see he did to the best of his ability. A kind soul. He broke the cycle by not bringing a life into this world being unsure he understood LOVE --- to give it -- and didn't take on that responsibility with the uncertainty. Let's not judge his mom. He didn't. Maybe he realizes she was a broken person before his time and gave her grace. What a wonderful human he is.

@@catzee4720 I suppose then... you have much to say about the many on this channel who have had children themselves, not nuturing them, neglecting them, allowed them to get into an iffy foster system and or left them with their own abusers in some cases... or have no idea what abuse their children are enduring while they are destroying themselves in an attempt to manage / cope with their own abuse. I'm clear what WRONG is. But I find it interesting some of you will sympathize with these folks as they tell their stories, judge their parent(s) yet you dont and cant hear their own children's stories. As this gentlemen said...best lesson...don't judge. You or many or thousands thinking it's WRONG is not going to stop it. Or it would have stopped a long time ago and the world would be nice. It's generally learned behavior, passed along ... as normal....that is a web of issues difficult to unravel, with a FAMILY HISTORY. How do we stop it ? Stop judging. Start shedding light on it...as Mark is doing. So that maybe MORE like this gentlemen will break the cycle. Thank u. Have a great night.

@@catzee4720 Sure. I wouldn't know. SMH. You know nothing about me either.

If you go to Mark's GoFundMe (link in description box), you can make a donation and specify that you want it to go to this man, and suggest he looks into some dental help. Bless you xx

So kind 🥺❤️

This is amazing

And they say a baby in the womb feels things.💔

@@marylougeorge9890 😢

Almost no chance at all. 💔

🤯

Yeah

Hello

@@destaniedillard1001 hello

I think that's why he was especially joyous. It's amazing the things that make humans so elated. He is a blessed man to have survived everything. May God bless and keep him safe always.

I couldn't help but feel sad when he said even the duck was taken away from him due to a psychiatrists opinion though. People have weirder shit going on in their homes, why can't this man just have a pet duck !?

With tears in my eyes I was thinking the same thing.

It’s not weird at all. I feel the same way. Seeing certain situations through another’s eyes gives me a kind of mental clarity that I’m not often afforded.

same

same here

Your words are so true thanks

♥️

hi brandon how did you meet him ? i would love to meet him as well

It's heartbreaking that he's had to become numb just to survive life. And he's such a lovely, gentle man.

@Mike Ratliff did you miss the part where he was on the streets in skid row before he did even pot..... some people have different situations than your judgement of them lol

@Mike Ratliff also even if he is on drugs 24/7 does that mean he deserves to die on the street in this country

@Mike Ratliff What a charming person you are.

I hope he gets a cat

Nah
