When he said "unrevokable choices" I immediately thought of River. I wish he was still here.

His dad forced him to breath give the dude a break. Lol

Right? So tight knit that he, out of the blue, decides they are toxic. And oblivious, clearly.

That’s easy to explain. Abusive people almost always deny the accusations. They lie to and manipulate their own children without any remorse. So why wouldn’t they lie to the general public?

@@garotadagavea - I think this post went right over your head.

I think the most telling evidence of the "closeness" of the family is that the statement was from the Wheaton family spokesperson. Close knit families tend to express shock from their own mouths, not through a PR mouthpiece who probably wrote several drafts before achieving the correct, clinical, "heartfelt" tone that would resonate with the widest demographic of the public.

Exactly! You don't have to read between the lines too much to get that point loud and clear.

@Yseson _ I read your comment that you made: "I think the only reason I didn’t kill myself was because I knew that I’d one day get away." I was blown away by that comment but I can relate to that so well. I grew up in a household where crazy insane behavior was off the charts many times, so much drinking and alcoholism. And sometimes the fighting between my parents was so overwhelming. Although there was no physical abuse, there was verbal abuse. I remember just trying to stay out of the line of fire and either going to a different room downstairs, or leaving the house and going for long walks, or going over to a friend's house where there was not crazy insane behavior. I just never understood why other people and families had such calm households. I always thought as a kid that the craziness and dysfunctional behavior that I experienced as a kid was normal. My siblings and I left that household, one by one, as we got older. And I think my brother and sisters all had the same mentality, we all thought: When I get out, things will be so much better, and I will get away one day. And we did, and it did get better. But still it's so shitty that many people grew up in such toxic FKd up households.

There's a difference between guiding your children and abuse. You're a parent. It's your job to help your child be the best they can be. Pushing them is part of the job. If you expect more from them they'll grow up and expect more from themselves. If you expect nothing they'll expect nothing.

@@ladydeerheart1 you miss the point.

He's a actor.

@@ladydeerheart1 Nah chief. This ain't it

They must be Democrats!

@@TheKitchenerLeslie the parents and families are acting like Republicans. The victimhood attitude of children of the families are acting like democrats. Neither is a compliment but it is pretty clear. I know, for sure, Wil Wheatons parents are conservative Republicans. And wil a democrat.

@@magnificentuniverse2283 How do you know for sure? And what does it matter? He was radicalized by government education.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie well I should say I read in multiple articles. Wil speaking out about Fox News and several anchors being a negative influence on his parents political views. "To the point I cant even have a conversation about politics with them" after that wils parents were mad, he apologized and his parents publicly clarified their political stances. Conservative Republicans. I think both extremes of political spectrum are insane.

Oh government education? In America? That is overblown and misunderstood. Government helps set curriculum and maybe mistakes have been made but having gone to public school in America during 90s and 2000s, there was nothing like government implemented curriculum. We weren't brain washed lol anymore than you were at your school. University/colleges etc, do have an overwhelmingly liberal presence on campuses and that can stifle debate and that is where parents see kids go off to University and come back with all these new crazy political stances. And, government have zero to do with University curriculum and its the woke warriors that are shaming kids into a cult like political group, kids are accepting coerced speech via pronouns, as if that's not self absorbed attack on others freedom. Of speech and freedoms in general

That was probably bittersweet. How did the star trek fan react to them only asking about it?

I'm not surprised that his parents refuse to take responsibility they are both narcissists

@Linny Crocus - Thank you!

He might NOT have!

Don’t let Wil know you said “God bless this guy”….he hates God and Christians.

Only if you expressly agree with everything he thinks. If you hold a different view he will try to shame you for it instead of being able to have discourse. If you refuse to just agree with him and dare to say something other than his approved viewpoint, he will be more than happy to cuss you out and block you. It doesn’t matter if you are kind and respectful. He can’t stand anyone who thinks differently than him. Pretty great for a guy who has the motto “Don’t be a dick”

@@kirbyourenthusiasm What happened to you?

@@birderjohn3396 I had the nerve to disagree with Wil Wheaton. He didn’t like it…Not sure that means something “happened”to me. Just expressing he isn’t the great guy some people think he is. He’s pretty arrogant and kind of a jerk.

@@kirbyourenthusiasm Personally?

@@birderjohn3396 yes….he took the time out to tell me personally on several occasions how terrible of a person I am because I commented on some of his blog posts and he didn’t like what I had to say. I’m not the only person he does that to and it’s clear he can’t stand anyone who doesn’t share his political beliefs or tries to explain a different perspective on an issue. I was always respectful and he didn’t have a problem if I commented and agreed or complimented him on something he wrote. However, if I dared to expressly anything other than total admiration he would sometimes reply. He resorts to name calling and accusations to those who disagree with him. He is emotionally stunted.

He had to do all that AND act AND support his family. His parents stole his money too. He talks about how, in his 20s after he got married and he was broker than broke after leaving acting for a while, he was actually still getting hefty residual cheques from his previous work. His parents were stealing from him the whole time.
