The lack of eye contact isn't always a sign of disrespect, it is also a sign of insecurity and guilt. The father clearly has some issues and needs a support system that both Ben and Steve are willing to offer. I pray this father and son are able to reconcile and build a strong father and son bond. Much respect for Steve and Ben..we need more men and fathers like them.
Smart young man it's great that he had a good mentor.
I have a difficult time respecting anyone who can't look me in my eyes. Especially when it's an apology.
Real talk
noticed the same thing
He's trying his hardest. More than most father's in this position.
😂😂but you are shy yourself.
That's because it's not sincere and he's put in a position on national TV where he's forced to apologize. He moved away. He's the adult. He should have made the effort to be with his son.
I haven't seen my Dad in 7 years . It'll be 8 years on Nov. 19th .
I lost him to cancer .... I may not know how it feels for this young man , but I sure do miss my Father . He was the COOLEST Pops in the entire galaxy . His musical influence on me , his mental and spiritual influence on me .. will never die .
I lost him in the physical form , never the spiritual form
God bless you , Father , and God bless you all .

+DJ MoonWalker I dont know if i am supposed to like the comment or ignore it :}

My prayers are with you bro +Dj moonwalker
OcTer Sky Thank you - I really appreciate that
Somebody need to NOW mentor his FATHER. The son has FORGIVEN he's FREE.
Dad not so much..🙏🙏♥️
My Dad left four weeks before my sixteenth birthday, now I'm 22 and i still haven't seen him. every few years I hear something from other family members about him. The crazy thing is that we live in the same City. I learned a long time ago that in order for me to have a full and prosperous life I had to forgive him and he's wife, that was the other woman. I didn't forgive my Father for him, but to free my self from that emotional burden I was carrying around in every thing that I did. My hatred for my father and he's wife was making me physically sick.
I met my Father when i was 15 Yrs old, and ever since he has been somewhat a good father, becuase he helps me with anything i ask him.. only thing he does call me. but thats ok.. I dont even miss that no more i was never used to get a call from my father
42893alison just keep the faith
42893alison that's pretty much my story, I hope one day I have your strength to do the same.Its hard since it was me who saw my mother crying every night on my shoulder by 17 I had My own place, took my mother in he left her with nothing.
My father left me and my sister when I was 10 years old. You can not explain how much you need your father to be there for you to get through puberty. Just the regular stuff like when I first started shaving as a young boy and an *ss whooping when I got myself in trouble again. I can totally related about your hatred towards your father, mostly because it made me question myself... If my father does not want to be with me, then who will? If my father does not love me, then who will? He made it hard for me to love myself. And that's critical in order to be able to love someone else.
Years passed as my hatred towards him grew (fun fact, I also don't like his new wife), it even made me neglect my sister whom had been my support all these years. Until a sudden moment my sister called me up and told me she was pregnant but no father in play.. And you know what, I realized the absence of my father makes me love her little boy as it were my own, knowing what struggles he will go through if he has no father figure to have his back no matter what and love him unconditionally. The little man is 6 years old now, I am 25 and I hope to teach him how to shave one day...
Moral of the story alison (and everyone who can relate!), even people who aren't there can teach you valuable things. Some lessons in life are just harder than others, but you will get through and succeed eventually. Bless you all
Sweetie, you have to take care of you. You have to forgive him for yourself. That sort of burden will tear your life up. His choice was about him not about you. He is missing out on the chance to be in your life. He took away from you a past you cannot get back, but don't you let him take your future. You have to protect yourself and that starts with protecting your heart. You cannot let that hatred destroy the rest of your life. I see your picture, you are a beautiful young woman. You have a promising life ahead of you. He did not see the value in you but that is his is fault, his flaw, his short sightedness. He has his own issues that had nothing to do with you. Don't own his or his wife's inability to see the pricelessness in you. You matter enough to not let him or them destroy your life. Let it go. I know that sounds easy to say for me when I am not in your shoes, but you have to do it. You have to do it for yourself. Life is too short don't waste it on hate and regret. Make the most out of your life. Choose love not hate. God bless you, you do matter to Him don't forget that.
I haven't met both my birth parents. I wish I do meet them one day before they leave this world.
Moonlit Rose oh man
Sorry to hear that...
Do not procrastinate the process, get on it! I say start now as you see my message. My father was an absent father, as I built the relationship and the times were getting good he succumbed to his pain which was alcohol and the streets. It hurt me to my heart because my daughter never had an opportunity to meet her grandfather. As of now I try my very best to be the best dad to my beautiful daughter and stepkids. The best feeling on earth!
I'm glad this dad came back and gave his son a hug. Big Jim.... Don't leave your son like this again.. he needs you.
whether it's two years or two days. an absent father is still an absent father...for all the critical heartless commentators out there. I went two months without talking to my father and even THAT took a toll on me.
You said all that needed to be said. That's all. That's it.
People never talk about the effect of an absent father on a girl!! I feel it affects females more than society realises!! It just builds pure resentment and anger and distaste and dislike or respect for men as a whole..
@mimi love it also pushes you to look to men for love and affection. Most times the wrong men
Taylor Chantae I haven't seen my dad in two years
A welfare queen is still a welfare queen that leaches off her kids.
As a man who had a daughter while her Mother and I were in the Marine Corps (I still am). I almost didn't be the type of responsible Father that I know I should have been because of the "not so good relationship" between the Mom and I. I couldn't let her be another Black child statistic without having her Father in her life and that's probably one of the best decisions I've EVER made in my life time. Love that girl and I hope other parents (Moms also sometime disappear out of their child's life) learn and see how well/strong their creation(s) grows to become...
steve I don't know if you read these but you got a great son in law you taught your daughter right keep doing what you're doing
I haven't seen my dad in 25 years and it is a big impact on my life...and it does hurt something I sit here and think wat did I do wrong that made him not want to be in my life..my dad denied me.. And out of all the kids he had made me get a DNA TESTING AND IT CAME OUT 99.999 AND HE STILL DON'T COME AROUND or try to be there...And believe me I wish he was there but I guess everything happens for a reason 😔😔😔
I've never met my father. I'm 46 years old. From what I hear, he knows who I am and recently admitted to someone that he was my father. A father is a term, a real father is the one who steps up to be there, therefore I have no father or nor did I have a father figure in my life. Sometimes I hate him because I feel that since that element was missing from my childhood and teenage years when I needed it most, I would be in a better place emotionally, and maybe even married. But who know. He is obviously not a good person, and I think I am therefore better off without him.
+Juanita Wiggins im sorry to hear that. I pray yall can reconcile, its never too late. Or at least he can acknowledge you. God bless.
from the way you talk you are a better person all by yourself! Am sorry you didn't have the childhood you deserve but it's way better than abusive dad. I may not understand exactly how hard it Is for you but I hope you get over it and realize it's his lost!
father's are overrated
+Airportris Not good ones! They're IRREPLACEABLE!
Juanita Wiggins If you don't want to know who he is maybe you should think only the negative things that could have happened if he was there....Maybe a car accident that would kill everyone even you or something
I have a feeling negative thoughts about him will make you feel better.
Sorry if i offended you in any way
the Dad didn't seem to emotional to me he asked him to forgive him. I'm sorry but to me it didn't seem genuine. Jr. kinda of teared up at one point. the Dad to me acted like he didn't want to be there.
Yeah but it can be awkward you know - you cant just disappear for such a long time and then come back one day expecting it to be business as usual - if the dad didn't want to be there then he wouldn't have showed up to his son in the first place
Yeah, he didn't really look too open to me ; his whole facial expression said "I don't want to be here" but who knows, maybe they worked it out!
I believe Steve caught that, too. I think that's why he spoke up the way he did when made those generalize comment about men and offer to help.
Jean Clayton I felt that way too
Prolly feeling ashamed & guilty
17 years then we finally see each other and he passes away 2 months later rest easy old man
I cannot imagine my life without my father in it. I am so blessed to have had such a powerful man in my life. I was such a rebellious kid and if it had not been for his strong hand in my life I have no idea where I would be now. They say a girl tries to marry a man like her father, and I know that is true, but boy oh boy was that bar set high. My father is a WWII Veteran, Officer and one hell of a tough dad. I have so much to be grateful for and I am. He is 92 and still a tough old guy I respect with all my heart. I know there are people out there that were not as blessed or fortunate as I was. I am so sorry for that. I know as a woman that it is invaluable to have a strong father figure. I thought my kids were going to have that, but they really didn't. In my rebellion I married a man that was nothing like my father and my kids paid the price for that. He is there for them, sometimes. He is around for them, sometimes. He is in and out of their lives and acts like is presence is God's gift to mankind. My second time to marry I married a man that loved me, loved my kids and stepped up to the plate as if he was their real biological father. I cannot tell you what a blessing he is to my kids and now their kids. I am so sorry for all of you out there that did not have that, but if you are still alive and kicking, then there is hope that you will. You can be all you want to be and you can find that love that you are looking for. Don't give up, it is never too late.
Steve Harvey should make a movie about his life!
Agreed
That was a question on Feud oh but who would play him and Cedric???
What a wonderful intervention. Thank God for Steve harvey, i know its just a talk show but its also his ministry and he is bringing healing to the lives of people out there who would not necessarily be going to church or believe in God.
I haven't seen my dad almost 12 years and see last year 2015 it was emotional tears cross my eyes
no
My dad left when I was 10 im 26 now and I haven't seen him since I know the pain he went through
he goes to my school 😊
that is a very humble kid,am proud of him.
that is so sad 😢😢 but im happy that the farher came 😊😊
So am I. Some people change as Montgomery Gentry once said. And this kid's father did return and I hope he stays. I wish my father was still here
As someone who grew up without their father, a father who denied me even on his death bed, I feel this young man's pain. I don't understand why some men have to be told to be in their kid's life. Why they don't understand the signifant damage their absence can cause. And don't understand why this man can't look his son in his eyes and talk directly to him. I pray they were able to mend their relationship.
I'm a 44 year old white man. I never had a male figure in my life growing up. I would have given anything if I would have had a man like Steve Harvey in my life to show me and guide me to become a GREAT man. He's an awesome dad and I wish I had that. God bless you Mr. Harvey
Why didn't his father say it to his son directly?
Right. He was more or less talking like the son wasn't there......
To God Be The Glory. Awesome episode. Glad they reunited. Great job Ben and Steve!!
Thanks to the Steve Harvey Show! When i was 2 my dad left back to iraw or somewhere and also my brothers dad got sent to prison and he also aint seen his dad and steve harvey makes us both feel better by watching what you do for people.
N Steve made d moment worthwhile for him. Tnx to Steve
I enjoyed these very much. It was so nice to see Steve Harvey. He's such a manly man. It's nothing wrong with a man that cries.
His father looked so i uninvested... Coming from a fatherless daughter I know all to well the impact it has on one.
Very beautiful message
So cute how they were sitting the same. Steve is spot on. Hope the dad steps up his game
Son you are so right a father is a great impact in a young man life. My brother dad is not in his life, but my brother have 3 father figures in his life. It’s great that you are willing to forgive your father. It takes a big person to forgive the person that hurt them. I wish you well with your relationship with your father.
haven't seen my dad since 7years old hope he know my heart can bleed an cry for a stranger......
I'm happy this young man has a great mentor!
My heart goes out to any child who hasnt had father in their life. I m a single mom and my three youngest havent seen there father in yrs and im sure wont c anytime soon.
I haven't seen my father in 16 years but I thank god that my uncle on my mother side saw me as he's child even if he had his own family he didn't see me any less
That kid has it figured out. Admirable young man.
I couldn't stop the tears from coming
May God bless him!
He is a beautiful young man, he with no place for a doubt will be a very successful man not only in his carrier but his personal life, he will find the right woman that embrace his beautiful soul.
WOW i'm glad they could make up i have never seen my mother or father and unfortunately i will never in this life....but i'm glad these two could get back and patch up things with each other.
This So beautiful God please help them
I appreciate Mr. Steve Harvey for what he does for these Guy's I wish we could get something for the Girl's also I don't get to see the show because of working But Love them both. thanks Steve and Marjorie
Steve should have a Steve Harvey Show reuion. I would love to see everybody from the cast
Steve's got a great man for his daughter!
I have never seen or heard anything from my father, it good to see another black man stand up
I haven't seen my father in 4 hours.
+Abigal M. lol ;)
Ha
+Abigal M. havent seen mine in more than 10 years
+Abigal M. Dumb ass.
You're an idiot 😕
That counsellor is FIIINNEE! :)
my son don't know his father he wasnt in his life he died October 2015. and now my son is 15 but I'm blessed we doing ok I got this but I forgive him ...so I understand everything Steve Harvey says..
I'm happy that the dad came. As Steve says it's a good start.
This is so touching 😭
I only seen my grandmother 4 times from 1977 till her death in the early 2000s. and she only lived three miles from us. she didn't want to see my brother and me so that's why we never seen her. when she passed I had no feelings for her. but I did cry because she missed out so much with my brother and me.
awesome!
AMAZING!!!!!!!
I haven't seen my dad since it was weeks old stay strong every one
I think that's amazing to do build that done and trust again as long don't brake it again I don't have a farther figure in my life anymore and it's hard but I was brought up to love and love others and to forgive you know and Steve is amazing guy of that look at him now helping kids with this I mean am a girl but are fillings are same as a boy not having there dad there I was 18 when he left use and now me n my twin are going to be 20 two years ago but I think an amazing thing what stev dose for young men
I grew up with my granny till 18 and only saw my dad in 1998. You can't understand how painful it is living this way. Haven't seen him for 20yrs. Talk seldomly. I do have alot of anger n grudge towards him.
I haven't seen my father in about 18 years. I sometimes hear things about him from others family members. my father and I live in different states.
I haven't seen my dad for 8years because he wants a better future for my little bro and i...i truly miss him😔😔😟😟😭😭😭😭
That guy has a bad energy.
He didn't mean that apology and he looked high
Havent spoke wit my Father in 2 years almost 3 now. It hurts. This is a rare opportunity.
If that would be my son I give him the biggest cuddle and make sure he feel loved
the only person truly missing out is the deadbeat parent. your child is a gift...and you don't want your gift.
I haven't seen my dad for 8 years because my that and I got the same character. And that hits a lot. After 8 years off separation we decided to take a change. Now we are like big brother little brother instead off dad and son. Maar heh😉 were back together.
I love my friends and family
amen
My dad married someone else and had children with her. I feel like I'm not his daughter anymore even though I'm older. He never calls me, every time I tried to talk to him, I get nervous because he's always talking to his wife, He have so many girlfriends and behind the wife's back, he text 2 of his old girlfriends, my mom and dad don't get along every time they see each other ( even in public ), and he never spends time with me or my siblings. I never get to see my siblings for a long time. And I never even see them once. I am live with my mom ( and only my mom), and I'm having trouble in school.
Carline Cassamajor 😢 i know how you feel...if you ever need someone to talk to you can always email me. amandajolene1990@gmail.com
Carline Cassamajor Girl... i definitely understand and Going through the same
Carline Cassamajor it will be ok it will get better as you get older just keep talking . try writing down how you feel and mail it to your dad....
I hope your situation with your dad gets better. you guys need to go out together have some bonding and you have to express how u feel
Maria Holmes -Robinson not nessascarily it'll get get better. It might but speaking on person experience with my father it'd never gotten better... Tbh it wasn't good. He'd rather bring around my baby brother than the rest of his kids he only acknowledges him and not the other 4 which is me my 2 sisters and older brother... Which is sad... I hope she gets her situation with her dad worked out and fixed though .
And they all happens in 5 years. Someone please make me feel better. I'm worthless without my dad or anybody. I can't do anything.
I feel this one , since about 6 while my dad has been in the military it’s been on and off . I’d see him every 3 months and sometimes more if he was deployed . I’m 18 now and he jus retired so idk hopefully he’ll try to hang out more . It’s still kinda awkward talking to him and stuff
My dad hasn't seen his dad since he was 18 and he saw him again at 31
This young man make me cry he is a great kid and what kind of father he is I hate when isee black fathers doing this and loosing they kids don’t make a child in this world if u not ready to race him not financially kids need a father I’m proud of him
Damn shame this young man has to teach his dad why he should be a dad.
Same thing I said
its sad but true.
so fine
yea number one
You must be so proud really I feel really good for you because it's rare that you get to be first so congratulations and I hope you live a happy life.
My dad was in my life but since he remarry it's not same feel sad😭

My kids haven't seen their father in years but they don't want too they say they have me and I've been mum and dad to them for many years.
Can anyone name the tune played when the father first came out? I really liked it.
Mr. Harvey be speaking the truth. I have told my wife if it is 1 couple I could meet it would be Steve and Marjorie.

damnn jimmy 😍😍😍
Wow 2 yrs I have neva seen my dad
I haven't seen my father for 17 years. I'm 23 now . But the thing is , that you can be a grown man even without a father that raised you. Of course I would love to play soccer or throw some balls with a father figure, but life I choosing his way on his own .
my dad, about....couple of years ago, it was father's day and me and my sister made him all kinds of food. he left before we were finished he said, and I quote "I will be right back". we waited by the door and he never came back. I was probably 7, now I am 14 and over him😢😢
16 years for me
That how u start Big Jim don't ever let that happen again
CC keep talking it will get better as you get older ....do your best in school
❤️
Am I the only one that bursted out laughing at 'Slik Harvey'... Before that everything was serious. Sorry by that caught me off guard

i have not seen my dad since i was 3 now im a 11 i have grown up withought a father figure in my life
I’m 16 and I haven’t seen my dad or my mom in 16 years. My parents both got in trouble when I was a baby and I got taken from them and was legally adopted into my aunts family which is where I am at right now. It is a tough road not knowing who your parents are. I used to see my dad because of visitation rights but he just kept going back in jail so I haven’t seen him for about 2 years now. I called him about 2 months ago and he didn’t know who I was, he knew I was his daughter but forgot my name and everything. How do you do that to your one and only daughter. I was very upset at my parents for doing what they did and never tried to change when they knew they had kids. My mom was recently pregnant but she lost the baby to drugs. I was so sick to the point where I almost died from drugs. My mom obviously didn’t care that I or her other kids were sick from what she used to do. I have a very sad and tough road I had to be on but for me to be who I am and where I am is incredible land I am so proud of myself for getting here. I am about to graduate high school being first generation high school graduate and college student and hopefully my younger sisters will follow my path and not our moms path. I thought I should share my story to you guys because the message I am trying to get out of you guys is, whatever you go through in life there is always a way out with strength and determination. Thank you guys for reading this
