‘I’m in a Dark Spot’ Son Shares of His Depression

"If you have depression, speak out". He did. They never let him finish his sentences. They didn't listen, nor care. All they did was criticize him. And they wonder why depressed kids are this way.

THIS IS WHY PPL DONT TALK.

The fact that he said “you put me on” speaks volumes. Women are ignoring the emotional damage he’s had to suffer for having to grow up soo fast..without a father and then having to step up and play the father role for his siblings. Who was taking care of him emotionally? Did his mom ever think maybe he drinks because he’s missing that fatherly love? She thought just buying him stuff was gonna make up for him not having emotional support as a boy? And do these women think they are helping him to stop? They are only making it worse. 😢

His mother treated him like a substitute husband, “man of the house” spoiled him and probably never had talks about goals, having ambitions and now is mad how he turned out. These women are disgusting for how they treated him

and this here is exactly why kids/teens don’t talk to their parents about stuff. a prime example.

He’s crying out for help, and they criticize him. Smh

They asked the mom about him and she spoke about HERSELF.

This was horrible. My heart hurts for him. There was true pain behind what he was trying to say. The host were horrible and so was his mother. The best description his mother could of gave of how he “used to be” was to describe how he handled responsibility she put in him as a child smh! They wouldn’t even let him speak and when he was able to get a word out they invalidated his feelings. How terrible! I pray he was able to get help and healing from REAL professionals and not paid to play idiots on tv.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION DONT SPEAK OUT OML

These people criticizing him disgust me🤢

"What was Tai like as a child?" "I'm a single parent, I had to work"

The way they dismiss him is disgusting. How can he be spoiled if he’s stepping in to be a father to your other kids because of his mothers decisions? How can he really have friends if he is taking care of his siblings and there is no family structure or guidance? Also there are NO MAN on this panel let alone BLACK MEN…he needs therapy with a black therapist preferably male. This is what happens when young men don’t have male role models in the home and present mothers. Disgusting

This is exactly why people don’t open up because they get judged

This is why people end up killing themselves no one is there for them even when they cry for help😢

After a few years this clip is still popular to this day. The fact that Vivica Fox even laughed when she made a post responding to the people about her reaction to this young man. She's evil bro

What he is saying is that he is tired of pretending to be his mother's husband. This usually happens to the first born of a single mother. The mother is basically making the kid become an adult before he finishes being a kid. When you have that kind of pressure on you, it definitely puts you in a dark place. You are basically being asked to be the father (a parent) to your siblings, while no one is there is being a parent for you. It's like asking a kid to fly a plane thru a storm and they were never taught how to fly a plane. However the mother is working hard to afford a nicer plane to fly. Hopefully that makes sense. In this video, he is asking how to land the plane but all these women are judging him that his flying skills are shit. Meanwhile other kids that grow up in 2 parents house holds are still at the flight academy, learning how to fly before they become adults. When he mentions the fake friends, he is basically saying his friends were jealous that he is already flying while they have to finish the academy before flying. I just hope he gets the help to land the plane and can continue with life rather than crashing that nice ass plane his mother guilted him into flying too early in life.

The judge makes me sick! No one drinks just to drink! He’s depressed and he’s self medicating!

Omg leave him alone. He tryna cry for help and they push him back down.

I found this on Twitter, 4 years later and I am sick to the stomach.

His mom, and all those fake @ss therapists absolutely disgust me. They completely ignored the fact that she’s forcing her little boy to be a father figure to his sisters when he was literally a kid himself, she’s the one who STARTED his alcohol addiction at 13 F*****G YEARS OLD, and instead point all the blame on him.
