      The silver lining is, if somebody thinks "I don't want to become like my dad", they're much better than that. Some people react to abuse by abusing other people, and others react to it by rejecting it completely.

      Dude same!!! I didn’t even see this comment yet and said “damn that’s deep” and almost cried (I never cry) when he said that part.
      Idk if you ever saw the WWE documentary “Beyond the Mat”. Made around 1999 or 2000. But when it focuses on Jake the Snake I remember he says how he hated his father not being present in his life and then he cries and says how he abandoned his daughter and says “I hated my father for leaving but my God, I’ve become the same exact thing...the same exact thing”. As a father, that part hit me hard

      I wish Joe would have asked more on that. Maybe the sense is unexplainable but how he described the kid's behavior sounded like a typical shy kid too me. As a kid I was horrible at making eye contact, my parents would have to insist on me to say something when talking to a stranger, when I was real little I was one of those kids that hid behind their parents legs, but I was never abused. I guarantee throughout Jake's career he has talked to countless amount of shy kids. What's the difference between a normal shy kid and one that's abused?

    My maternal grandfather died when I was 14 years old. I met him for the first time as he laid in a casket. My mother would never take us around him. She had to go through sexual abuse from him along with her sisters. Her brothers used to get beat with objects including hammers. They were even knocked out cold a couple times. She still suffers from all of this and living through it has made her a stronger and more compassionate and caring person. Jake has no doubt suffered because of his experiences. Takes one hell of a human being to be able to push forward like he has.

      Anyone who says "all you need to do is get help" doesn't know anything about mental illness. It's day to day, sometimes minute to minute, because you really don't know what will trigger and episode because that monster you have inside your head controls everything. Pills make you a zombie, "getting help" buries you because you, as Jake said, don't want to remember, you want to forget and overcome it. . .and the lack of understand everyone has in the general public reinforces the monster's controlling thought that you are everything the monster makes you.

My dad never changed a diaper never hugged or told me or my siblings about how much he loved us untill we are all now adults. We are all closer to our father now and realized he didnt mean nothing negitive by it. We were never abused but very confused but jake basically said it word for word.

      but the trip with yoga is hard, u need first to learn meditate on a mind mantra, the n meditate in lotus, doing spinal breathing pranayama, bandas, make calisthenics

I still struggle with getting over it sometimes in which I probably need help to overcome but I hope this video reminds other people that went through that, that they are not alone. I always felt like no one could understand my pain & struggles but this shows me other people have & still go through this

    This gun entertained me so much when I was younger. One of my best memories in life is when I went to watch WWF in NJ at Brendyn Byrne arena with my aunt. My parents got us tickets and he wrestled that night. My aunt and I were so excited to see it live and it was her birthday present. She literally CRIED when my dad gave her the tickets to go with me. We were a few rows from the ring and I can’t remember if I ever had more fun in my life. My aunt died of cancer over a decade ago and she was sick her whole life. This guy is a hero and I wish she was here now to hear this story. I watched the interview right after you did it and just rewatched this. Everytime I hear Jake the snake I think of her.
