The heartbreak in the first man’s voice overwhelmed me. 😢😥

Steve’s son is mad wise. Like father like son!! -Josh Otusanya

Steve Harvey's son is so well spoken. His mama and his dad did a great job.

I can see Steve speaking through his son, men really do need their fathers I cannot stress that enough.

Words of wisdom from a wise man......Steve showed up and raised him well 👌👌

Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close and adopt me as his child. - Psalms 27:10 (AMP) I just feel like someone really needed to know that truth.

I appreciate his sons capacity for forgiveness and wisdom.

Thanks for talking with me, Steve!! This is Michael from the show 🤗

More videos like this please. Just us Men. We need to talk

You can tell that story was emotional for Steve. You can tell he still feels bad for those 16 years he wasn't there.

This is why I like Steve. He's an imperfect man who acknowledges the mistakes made on the climb, and he's working to adjust it. No one is perfect, but we can all be better by acknowledging our errors and doing better when knowing we haven't been our best.

I love this, please do more with men guests. We have so many men around who are hurt and unable to express themselves because society has told them to listen to the status quo and not figure out who they truly are and how to do it. Good job Steve... words of wisdom and experience.Dads and Sons come to each other have that convo and remove the egos.. lets heal

Steve's son's words are so empowering.

Oh my goodness l never appreciated words from Broderick Harvey until this very moment just listening to his expression of love between father and son oh yes l love this genuine love connection

Wow Steve u healed a lot of men this touched me cause it’s a lot of men need to get things right in their lives cause it is affecting their relationship with women and or in life period. A bad cycle hurt people hurt other people . This is how to stop 🛑 the cycle keep it up Steve !

Everything Steve and his son said was exactly what happened to me. Didn’t speak to my dad for a total of 10 years. For what reason? I don’t know. But my brothers and I made a decision to reach out to him. I remember talking to him for about 3 hours and the whole time we were both just crying. My eyes were bloodshot red. My mother felt a way about it but I didn’t really care that much. Long story short, my dad and I are closer than we could ever be. Even my mother, who once hated him asks about him and tells me to buy him gifts on his birthday and on Father’s Day. A relationship with your father is soooo important. Reach out to your dads, people especially if he wants to be in your life. It’s NEVER too late.

Tears in my eyes. Men need to help each other openly like this more often.

Steve has raised a wise son. Good job Steve, respect to his son's mother.

Steve your a father first, forget the world.

This show is so needed....I'm sad it is ending....

Man with so much wisdom, and whoever it is wants to end the ASK STEVE SHOW? come on y'all.

I like how Steve is just talking to all these men like they his sons and there is no audience at all. Respect

Have a talk with your mother and explain why you want to reach out to him. She will understand, she knows that every child needs to know who his father is.

Lil Steve 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you better preach boy

We need stuff like this on the media💖.i had issues with xpartner,I made my mistakes. But one mistake I never made was leave a part of me abandoned, my child,an innocent soul! I suffered so much dat I almost gave up,BUT I had work extra hours to make money to pay for court fees. Finally I went to court and now I have him at mine. I dont want him to growup with HATE. No child should be left abandoned by any parent.. 99percent of wat the society is, depends on fathers.. the challenging part is,my son sees his mum and she feeds him with alsorts of negativity about mee. I know when he growsup,he will understand better.

I'm feeling like Steeve is not human. Uncle Steve is talking without making any mistakes. Thx Uncle

as a man i struggle with accepting the excuses we continually make for men. moms dont have the luxury of going out to find themselves and coming back yrs later. yes, we absolutely need to hear both sides but if fathers weren't frequently absent, no one would have the opportunity to fill in the narrative for them. we need to honor men and fathers, and we also have to stop expecting so little from us.

Broderick is a super intelligent young man I know his father(Steve) is very proud of him

We need more discussions and forums like this on Mainstream Television. This is needed badly in today’s society

I’m going to miss steve Harvey ( they don’t make them like him no more)

Thank you for being transparent, and exposing this plague that has so many young people hurting inside.

This is why I try my damn best to not say something negative about my sons father I can see he’s suffering and our son is amazing he will seek him out asl questions and love him inspire of ... as a mom I have to allow room for redemption

I Remember when my father couldn't come to my middle school graduations and I Remember he come my high school basketball game and he was so proud of me and he hug me so great and he was crying happy tears

I am LOVING this! Please do more shows like this, there are so many lost boys/men that are thirsty for wisdom and some manly advise!

This is a deep conversation y'all , puts you in your feelings , males you understand some man out there ... " they are human too !"

Thank you for this show Steve. This show was so needed and you have help so many young men and boys. Bless you.

Broderick's advice was good and honest!!!

What about the mother who had to sacrifice everything for the child as the father left. It affects both parent and child. The child could go forgive their dad and he acts like everything is fine. While the mother has to stay in the shadows? And be happy for them both. But also what about her time? Her selfcare? Her feelings?

Steve, I love the content of your shows!!! You are right when you said, "Listen to both sides" that goes for the moms too! Tears are flowing.

I met my father for the first time 2 years, when I was 19. My whole entire family was against me seeing him, because of the toxic, abusive relationship my mother had with him. My mother put some messed things in my head, and even though those things are true, I was unusually happy to see him, I've met my cousins, aunt, and my grandfather. Out of all my siblings, I've never been with, or heard my father physically. The only sad part is that I don't know where he is now, because I live in another state. He might be in prison, or dead. My mother doesn't know, no one knows. Even though he was never in my life, He's the reason why I want to get married and have 4 kids.

Every time I hear this it makes me cry but Steve is a great man and his son is like him amen

Beautiful moment, Fatherly moment to many men, thank you Mr Harvey

I was fortunate enough to ask my parents for their side of the story and have the stories match. Every detail, every aspect was a match. My father belonged to the world. I loved him dearly and had him whenever I wanted or needed him. He left when I was born and yet I always had him until the day he died. I love you dad. I miss you so much.

This is so far the most touching story have ever heard on Steve show cuz it really motivates n captures my life story. Thanks uncle Steve for the advice always 🙏

That fist bump at the end😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

There's no other side to this, a father abandoning their child is inexcusable, there can be no reason. I think Steve Harvey needs to understand this man.

Beautiful just beautiful a lot of men need to see this.

Best show on tv never boring! different segments,good conversation,laughter etc smh 😭😭😭I hope Steve gets a new show soon!

More of this please ❤️ men need healing too 🙌🏾

This is what the world needs. I wish they didn’t end his show. He was doing such great work for the world. Very healing even for women to witness.

I loved this..very honest from all the men.

This is powerful! I love when men come together like this. Men need that support circle. 💜💜💜💪🏾💯

That is dope how Steve & his son preaching to the world 🙏❤🙏. Deepest love & respect that moment i felt every powerful words 👍. Man i wish i sit right next to them and learn and listen. Uncle Steve you the man.

That was completely true what Steve's son said ... you have to insert yourself in the best possible place for YOU. If you don't when you have the chance, you may end up on a talk show in your 20-30's asking for help.

Wow this is much needed!

I know my words may not mean much..BUT Everytime Steve Harvey speak he grabs my attention and impart in me WISDOM...May our Heavenly Father continue to Bless you and your family Mr.Harvey

His son is so well spoken 👏

This is touching

Now that I feel blessed by having my both great lovely parents around me .

I love this father/son dynamic. And as for Broderick...he is so cute😍

We appreciate you, Steve! Great segment.

I want Steve Harvey to do a show on youtube! No one watches TV anymore anyways. It doesn't cost anything to produce but he'd have tons of subscribers in no time. I'd love to see new content.

Wow really good and strong explanations from both Son and Father. 👍

thanks steve....thank you so much!

I love the way Steve talkes from the knowledge he knows. Yes I believe sons need their fathers. My son at the age of 7yrs old he asked me if he could live with his dad, did that hurt, did I cry, did I feel what have I done wrong the answer is YES but I couldn't hold him back and Heavenly Father knows I wanted to. His father and I had a good divorced and we are still friends 48yrs later but it still hurt to lose my son but I knew he needed his father. After my son grew up I found out the reason he wanted to live with his father. My son told me that, at the age of 7, he needed to take care of his father because his father needed him to take care of him. I asked "what about me" he said, " Mom you are strong and I knew you could take care of yourself". I am so glad I let him live with his dad because my son & I are very close, I did not lose him but he grew up as a great man and his dad was so glad he had his son with him. More of us adults need to realize we might be divorcing but we are not divorcing our children. What our children need is to come first no matter what the reason for the divorce.

Mom's are wrong if they try to interfere with their sons trying to have a relationship with their father. Can't worry about what mom thinks. Steve and his son are right.

I know I am so late with catching up with Steve, but I am here. I am so glad I saw this one. I am a childless woman who was raised without a father or dad only because mines were killed when I was a tot. But I have grown up with a host of girls who had children with absentee guys that fathered them. As those children grew up most wanted to spend time with their fathers but the mothers stood in the middle of their relationships. Over the years there have been fathers who changed, wanting the relationships with their kids, and those mothers just wouldn’t let up. I find the main reason is that their (mother & father) relationship never manifests. Being resentful and damaging. But the women don’t understand how damaging they were to the child. They have a million excuses on why they did what they did, but all those excuses were from being selfish. Where I come in, when those women would talk about the fathers and how they’re not going to let them see their child, I would say think about what you're doing to the child. They would say I don’t know what I am talking about because I don’t have children, then I would say I am a child that didn’t have a father and I understand the importance of having one. No matter what your relationship with that father is, that child’s relationship is different; they are part of that man. But they all held that relationships as hostages. Now, that I am in my fifty and seeing those children as adults, most if not all don’t have good relationships with their families or others.

True am now connecting with my dad who left me when I was three years ago but now am loving my father thanks to my mum she's the best too

Uncle Steve is right 🤙. His son is like his dad too.

This is the best vid. ever Steve

We need more of these shows

some folks stay mad stuck in these narratives because of a programming about them being messed up or deficient bc of a parents divorce. sometimes your parents dividing is the best thing. we have to try to stop feeling bad behind parental shames and thinking. the automatic take of gloom and doom is so damaging to the psyche. And its unnecessary. We get focused on these picket fence aspirations and expectations, then we get stuck when the candy drops in the dirt. SHAKE IT OFF. You are a divine human being, your parents were the tunnel, you must have the courage to exit their darkness and SHINE CAUSE GOD GOT YOU!!!! I was thrilled when my parents divorced, it was the best decision for everyone. Parents keep your kids out of your business. Kids, listen, your parents are that by default. they are IMPERFECT biological donors. See them as human, not these idolized notions. Make the shift, let go of the pain. Live ya life.

Thank you for real talk, I wish I could have that conversation with my mom without animosity, my dad did ask me and my siblings to forgive him, he's resting somewhere, but my ma said she only has to apologize to God

Woow woow uncle Steve!!! , these final episodes are going to be real deep .

Wow this is so powerful. Thank u for this video🙏🙏

Steve this is soo awesome! ❤️God using you to heal others

There should be MORE discussions like this for young men. And grown woman who are raising sons PLEASE DONT BLOCK THE CONNECTION OR FALSELY DOWN THE FATHER IF THEY BOTH SEEK A CONNECTIONS!!! I'm glad steve opened up this topic

Uncle Steve you better let the Lord use you up in here today don't make me throw something at you! LOL. So appreciate you giving men a platform an opportunity for wholeness. With dignity intact and Love Leading The Way. So blessed!

This show needs to come back for many reasons

They need to bring this show back!!

I'll never forgive my father, he left when I was 3y, married the best friend of my mother and she didnt want my brother and me. My dad's a big man but he is scared of my stepmother, I will never, never!! speak to them because of the way SHE threated us and the way HE was afraid of her. I have 2 boys now, 5y and 7 months old, I would never leave them like he did. Not every son wants his father in his life, i grew up without him and doing pretty good!

Man, this was deeeeep! I love conversations like this though, it brings out the truth of how people are truly feeling! We often internalise our feelings , letting it overcome us when simply speaking about how we feel, puts us in control! 🙏💆‍♀️

OMG, can’t believe lm crying 😭

I love this!!!

Seeing the love and support some of these brothers getting from their fathers after missing for years is really overwhelming and amazing because I’ve been living with my father almost for 20 and I’ve never had that kind of support and love. My father never believed me in me and never supported me in anything and it’s really heartbroken n sad living with the one that supposed to be your #1 fan, mentor, role model, teacher, never look up to u or give you the love and support you deserve. But I’m proud because I’ve never disrespect or disobeyed him and mother has always encouraged me to be humble and respectful towards him because at the of the day he’s my father and he will always be. To anyone out there who got a loving and caring parents please don’t take them for granted, do whatever it takes to make them happy because they won’t be there forever #peace ❤️🇬🇳

fudgeeeee..thats deep..💓💓💓 i forgave u dad 😥

Unfortunately this is truly an issue for most Moms. I speak to young single mothers everyday and advise them to always encourage and inspire healthy relationships between your children and their father. It's hard but It saves your children.

You can see the pain on that guys face..

What about the mother was she not young as well? So like many men they leave the mother's with their child/children. To pursue their own goals selfishly.

Steve got good heart.

God bless you for raising a MAN!

This hit home

Wow, powerful!!

Am touché.

Sounds like someone wasn't taught responsibly as a child growing up. So by age 25, responsibility was all about taking care of self and not the seeds they were leaving behind. #shameful but yeah....forgive and move on.

Like father like son that was amazing

I love your show so much

His son might not look like him but he acts just like him.

DEAR STEVE WHAT is the network doing??? ALL THIS HURT YOU WERE OUT HERE HELPING TO HEAL !!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved this session
