[0:00]guys want to hear a funny story every
[0:03]time uh I was leaving this park like I
[0:05]am now I would see this other RV that
[0:08]looked exactly like mine and thought wow
[0:10]how cool is that like mine must be a
[0:12]popular model right well turns out it
[0:16]was mine I'd been looking at mine the
[0:18]whole time I didn't even know
[0:23]turn hi friends so I got an hour to
[0:28]go oh it's been a very contemplative
[0:31]Pride for me mostly just about my family
[0:34]it's always been very toxic and I just
[0:37]don't know how to handle them like I
[0:38]don't know how to talk to them and
[0:40]explain to them what I
[0:41]need how to set boundaries with them how
[0:44]to talk to them cuz we never had a
[0:48]healthy conversation in our
[0:51]lives and I just want to move on and
[0:55]live my life kind of free of all of that
[0:58]I don't even want like
[1:01]I just part of me just wants to just cut
[1:04]off communication from
[1:06]them I love my mom I'm not talking about
[1:10]her am talking about my other parent
[1:14]though um he's been very kind and
[1:17]helpful you know to some extent but it
[1:21]doesn't make up for a lifetime of
[1:25]abuse and I just every time I have to go
[1:29]to this house it
[1:31]just there is so much ink strapped up in
[1:34]me every time I had to go to this house
[1:35]I hate going here every time he texts me
[1:39]like I
[1:40]just I just
[1:44]can't is that really what I was planning
[1:46]to talk about
[1:47]though
[1:49]um so I woke up real scared this morning
[1:53]when I got um cuz I've done it I've I've
[1:57]started
[1:58]booking camg crowns
[2:01]um for my
[2:02]R to
[2:05]Nevada I I am excited about that I
[2:09]think it's almost like a spiritual
[2:11]journey for me I think there is
[2:13]something there for me that I need to
[2:15]just be there
[2:17]for
[2:19]so I'm so new to this life that I just
[2:23]I'm trying to be cautious so I basically
[2:25]booked like like I'd Drive about 200
[2:28]miles and then i' book up you
[2:31]know something that basically you can
[2:33]book on recreation.gov I'm not trying to
[2:35]stay at other kind of campgrounds yet so
[2:38]basically something
[2:41]National
[2:42]and usually for two days two nights um
[2:47]just so that I put a rest day in there
[2:50]in between each day that I'm traveling
[2:53]just because I don't know what to expect
[2:55]yet I just don't
[2:56]know um one time I had to book it for
[2:59]three nights because it ended on a
[3:00]weekend and they wouldn't let you they
[3:03]made they made you book the whole
[3:04]weekend but that was
[3:07]interesting and you know I booked like
[3:09]five places so far and that got me to
[3:11]somewhere in Missouri I
[3:13]think um I don't know if I'll keep doing
[3:15]it
[3:17]because I kind of want to find out how
[3:19]far can I travel every day if I was just
[3:21]driving my
[3:22]Jeep I could travel all day long and
[3:25]that's what I would do when I drove to
[3:26]Phoenix especially like on my way back I
[3:29]I well on the way there I did it in 3
[3:32]days on the way back I did it in two and
[3:35]that was over 2,000
[3:39]mil but I'm sure I can't do that in a
[3:43]camper just I don't know it's 200 mil
[3:47]enough or not enough so I just got to
[3:49]find
[3:50]out and then and then maybe keep looking
[3:54]my my way there I think that I'll end up
[3:56]there
[3:58]sometime in like the thir week of
[4:01]May so obviously this means I'm not
[4:03]getting my dental work done I really
[4:05]wanted to partly because I just think
[4:07]I'd look a lot better on camera but
[4:09]that's not a good reason so I am who I
[4:13]am I just red my teeth from out and Dew
[4:16]I'm you know that that's who I am that's
[4:19]what I did to
[4:21]myself and I just don't want to spend
[4:24]the money it would be risky right now
[4:27]for me to do that $10,000 that's a a lot
[4:29]of
[4:31]money so I'm just just going to go
[4:36]and once I've been there and I've
[4:39]experienced the place I'll figure out
[4:41]from there what I'll do next at some
[4:43]point I think I'll have to come back
[4:44]here and finish up my not to work I
[4:47]would like to I mean everybody would
[4:48]like to have teeth right I can't eat
[4:51]steak
[4:53]um you can eat a lot of things you'd be
[4:56]surprised what you can eat but there are
[4:57]some things you can't and not everything
[4:59]is easy that's for
[5:02]sure ah this guy didn't go around me I'm
[5:04]trying to be so polite but okay you lost
[5:08]your chance
[5:09]dude
[5:13]so yeah just feeling contemplative like
[5:16]I was saying I woke
[5:18]up afraid but not now I don't know why
[5:22]that happens it happened before I got my
[5:24]camper too and you know before I left
[5:28]but I'll get a over that like like
[5:31]everything
[5:33]else um there's something else I've been
[5:35]contemplating talking about I'm not sure
[5:37]if I
[5:39]should it's a little bit
[5:42]dark
[5:45]and I'm honestly not sure if I even can
[5:48]talk about it on
[5:50]here so I'm going to just say this
[5:57]much I can't believe I lost L my
[6:00]journals like I'm grieving that
[6:04]actually like part of me almost wants to
[6:07]cry about
[6:08]it that was a long period of my life I
[6:11]wanted to sit down and read those one
[6:13]day I'll never be able to
[6:20]now and I just I don't know what I'm
[6:22]doing anymore like I
[6:24]just feel so lost in this world I always
[6:27]have but
[6:33]I just don't know where my place in this
[6:35]universe is I have really really
[6:37]struggled with that I don't know I'm
[6:40]just I guess I feel old I feel worn out
[6:42]I feel
[6:45]like I feel like my story is ending I
[6:49]don't mean to depress you guys I'm sorry
[6:51]for that if I
[6:52]am I
[6:55]just want to have as good a life as I
[6:58]can until it's over whenever that is cuz
[7:00]I don't know when that is and I just
[7:03]I've said this before it's like I don't
[7:05]know if I'm at the middle of my life or
[7:07]if I'm at the
[7:09]end cuz I've been smoking you know since
[7:11]I was like
[7:15]16 I have to quit cuz I'm at the point
[7:19]where it's definitely harming me like I
[7:23]don't have the energy I used
[7:26]to I don't eat healthy at all still
[7:29]drinking Mountain do like all these
[7:31]things they're
[7:33]just they're just killing me and I have
[7:37]to change or this probably is the end of
[7:40]my
[7:43]story I don't want it to
[7:46]be you know I really
[7:49]don't I guess I just feel sad
[7:52]today I'm not sure why I just
[7:55]do so I missed my cats the first day
[7:59]that they were not with me but I didn't
[8:01]miss them after that so much except when
[8:04]I was in laying in bed and I kept like I
[8:07]you know cuz I'm going through a drve I
[8:09]I'm like not very comfortable sleeping
[8:12]right now and anytime I'd move around I
[8:14]would expect my cats to be there and I'm
[8:17]always like thinking
[8:19]about them being in the bed with me so
[8:21]you know to not disturb
[8:23]them it happened a bunch of
[8:27]times bear with me I'm driving through a
[8:30]town
[8:32]now um it's my
[8:36]journals that's why I'm sad it's just
[8:38]such a stark reminder of how much I've
[8:42]changed my life
[8:46]irrevocably um I think that's why even
[8:51]though you know that's not 100%
[8:54]true I can always make new choices and I
[8:57]tell myself that this doesn't have to be
[8:58]forever I
[9:01]can you know I can make new choices if I
[9:04]need
[9:04]to you know I don't know if that's
[9:07]always true either like life is not
[9:11]always that good to
[9:15]you Mom is texting
[9:18]me how bet my packages are
[9:21]there that's good news I
[9:25]bet um
[9:30]I don't know I'll get over it guys just
[9:32]having a
[9:41]moment you feel like
[9:45]that pretty soon I
[9:48]will have my cats in this car in this
[9:52]vehicle I'm going to try something new
[9:55]I'm going to let them out of their
[9:57]carriers they'll probably stay in them
[10:00]but if they're just open I think maybe
[10:02]that'll just be more calm I
[10:05]hope I'm
[10:14]hoping I love my cats but they are true
[10:18]terrorists like they are so much work
[10:20]all the
[10:21]time and I just don't
[10:24]know how I'm going to manage having them
[10:28]with me on this stream
[10:30]Journey but I have to try I have to
[10:33]they're my they're my cats they're my
[10:36]life they're one part of my life I
[10:39]wouldn't want to give
[10:40]up as terrible as they can be cats are
[10:44]amazing guys they really are I've had
[10:47]cats my whole life never really had a
[10:50]dog thought about
[10:53]it
[10:55]um but boy they seem like even more work
[10:58]really
[10:59]and yet it would be different dogs are
[11:02]different my house and it's getting
[11:05]pretty empty I'm going to show you
[11:07]around just wanted to say um in some
[11:10]ways it's hard to believe I gave all
[11:12]this up but I I was very comfortable
[11:15]here I could have stayed here and
[11:17]remained comfortable but Comfort felt
[11:19]like stagnation and I just had to I had
[11:22]to
[11:23]leave so I'm not regretting this but it
[11:26]is surreal front door
[11:29]living room basically empty
[11:32]now well it is
[11:36]empty
[11:41]kitchen
[11:43]hallway we've had many chats down this
[11:45]hallway haven't
[11:47]we bathroom cat's room mostly those are
[11:52]just boxes that I got to throw
[11:54]out my mom's room/ guest room
[11:59]my
[12:01]room um that stuff still has to come
[12:03]with me somehow at least most of it does
[12:06]I need to look through a little bit but
[12:08]yeah basically it all needs to go
[12:10]somehow I have some insulating
[12:13]insulating I still need to
[12:16]do um you know hopefully I can sell
[12:19]those one day my mom will hold on to
[12:22]them and then if we head this
[12:25]way get to my office it was a beautiful
[12:28]office
[12:30]this it's pretty empty I
[12:33]think
[12:36]yeah so this was my
[12:38]life 3 and 1/2 years in this
[12:44]house my mom did a really nice job
[12:46]cleaning it she did that Sunday I wasn't
[12:51]here
[12:55]um yeah
[13:01]it was a good life
[13:03]here I had a good life here I
[13:06]did now I have a different life man I
[13:10]think it's a little more exciting so I
[13:13]can't really regret all that just you
[13:16]know I wish I had more space really
[13:19]do but I will make do with my cats we
[13:22]will make do and then one day hopefully
[13:24]we can just upgrade to something a
[13:26]little longer to get more comfortable
[13:28]driving those things and it's a couple
[13:30]years from now and I don't need to do it
[13:32]anytime
[13:33]soon um it is a small space I think for
[13:36]me and two cats but just that's just how
[13:39]I feel I think other
[13:41]people could do it you know I mean I can
[13:44]do it I'm going to do it I am doing it
[13:49]so
[13:53]yeah this is where it all started so I'm
[13:56]in my parents car that I got for them
[13:58]some time ago cuz I need had to bring my
[14:01]cats and a bunch of stuff I'm going to
[14:03]let them Room free in here I'm hoping
[14:05]that'll work out I'm just going to sit
[14:06]here for a few minutes and hope that
[14:08]they figure out what they want to do cuz
[14:12]they love to torture me on the
[14:14]drive okay that will definitely not work
[14:17]Oliver what about you
[14:22]Bailey I mean you really should be in
[14:24]your carrier dude it's open but you
[14:26]should still be in it
[14:31]really I don't know that that'll work
[14:33]Oliver maybe in the camper but here I
[14:36]don't
[14:38]know what
[14:42]El all right let's figure this out okay
[14:45]guys cuz I'm trying to give you some
[14:47]Freedom here but you also have to be
[14:49]safe I have to be
[14:50][Music]
[14:52]safe okay I'm taking some advice from
[14:56]YouTube guys I know some of you I know
[14:58]some of you you will want to complain I
[15:00]don't care all right don't even bother
[15:02]cuz this is what I'm
[15:03]doing um you don't have to agree with
[15:06]all my decisions these are my cats I'll
[15:09]decide what's best for them sorry if
[15:11]that sounds rude but I just know how cat
[15:13]owners
[15:14]are
[15:17]um this is just something we're trying
[15:20]if I don't think it's safe I will stop
[15:21]and I will do something about it but you
[15:24]know these cats don't like being locked
[15:25]up and we have a 3-hour drive and it's
[15:27]going to be nighttime by by the time we
[15:29]get there I'm just going to sit here for
[15:31]a few minutes and wait for them
[15:34]to um you know decide where they want to
[15:36]be and then we'll
[15:40]go yeah it's looking like Bailey wants
[15:43]to just chill my coats right there so
[15:45]he's just kind of chilling on it but
[15:46]I'll sit down on it once we start going
[15:49]oh we're still exploring and he sneezes
[15:51]I think it's a light thing honestly I
[15:53]think he sneezes where there's light he
[15:55]always does it in a window Tour on like
[15:57]the TV screen it's weird there must like
[16:01]there's got to be a
[16:03]correlation all right guys figure out
[16:05]where you want to be okay because we're
[16:06]going to move
[16:08]soon I think what I'll do is I'll just
[16:10]back up a little bit and then stop you
[16:12]know just back out in the drive a little
[16:13]bit and then just stop and see how they
[16:15]react to that so far this is not working
[16:17]great
[16:18]cuz I'm just looking out the windows and
[16:21]not sitting somewhere where I think
[16:23]they'd be safe
[16:24]so Oliver I really want you to sit down
[16:27]come here Oliver
[16:29]these cats haven't seen me for two days
[16:31]either so they're really disobedient
[16:33]right now very
[16:35]unruly

[16:39]me cuz I'm going to need that come here
[16:41]Oliver come here
[16:43]Oliver somebody come up here all right

[17:37]okay oh guys I am going to put you back
[17:40]in the cages I will do it Oliver I have
[17:43]never seen him act like that well except
[17:45]lately it's
[17:46]weird Bailey come over here all right
[17:49]come on over here come here come

[18:00]impossible come on over here Bailey come
[18:04]on sit there sit there
[18:08]please no no sit
[18:12]down Oliver you're ridiculous
[18:21]man okay I admit this is not my best
[18:23]idea ever
[18:29]can you imagine trying to get them back
[18:30]in their
[18:34]cages guys we're leaving all right just
[18:37]going to go for a short drive and see
[18:39]how that goes and then um if they
[18:42]haven't settled down by then they're
[18:43]going back in the cages now that is more
[18:46]like
[18:46]it cats are doing pretty good over there
[18:50]very pleased with that site this might
[18:52]actually work
[18:54]out we're doing really well Oliver is
[18:57]just kind of sitting on the Bailey's cat
[18:59]carrier and just watching everything
[19:01]which is so cool I I knew that he would
[19:04]just love it that he would love to just
[19:06]see the scenery as we drive so I really
[19:09]believe that in the camper
[19:11]he is just going to have a BL Bailey's
[19:16]different as long as he's chill and he
[19:18]is right now then we'll be
[19:20]fine I'm so glad things are going so
[19:23]well so you um you know I need driving
[19:26]directions where I'm going so you'll
[19:27]probably hear that go off everyone once
[19:28]in a while since I'm not in my Jeep I
[19:30]don't
[19:31]have you know my integrated display I'm
[19:35]using my
[19:36]phone but anyways I just want to talk to
[19:38]you about some stuff
[19:42]guys um so you've seen my dad he's been
[19:46]on on my videos and you've seen him be
[19:48]helpful but you don't really know this
[19:50]man and I just I'm sorry for being so
[19:53]personal but I want to talk about this
[19:55]so I want you guys to understand me
[19:57]better and to understand me better you
[19:59]need to know what kind of father I have
[20:02]and how I was raised by
[20:05]him so I'm
[20:08]driving my vehicle right now this car is
[20:10]mine it's in my name it's titled to me I
[20:13]bought it I bought it for my
[20:16]mother but um I gave them the title so
[20:20]they can change it over before I leave I
[20:22]needed to borrow it today because the
[20:24]cat cares take up a lot of space and I
[20:26]have a bunch of stuff that I wanted to
[20:28]take with for me today so I've got like
[20:30]a new cat tower for my cats I got a
[20:32]bunch of stuff of petmart for
[20:35]them and um I got my own stuff that you
[20:38]know I needed to help make the place
[20:40]safe before we start traveling
[20:42]again and my dad just has this tendency
[20:44]of just being totally negative like to
[20:49]anything that that like comes up so when
[20:52]my mom tells him I need to borrow the
[20:54]car my car by the way you can just hear
[20:57]him being super negative and abrasive to
[21:00]her and it's like
[21:02]why just I don't get it like that's his
[21:06]initial reaction to everything is just
[21:09]to
[21:10]be negative and I picked that up from
[21:13]him and I work very hard not to be like
[21:16]that but that's like nothing compared to
[21:19]what it was like growing up with this
[21:21]man
[21:23]so I I like I already said this once it
[21:26]was like growing up with an alcoholic
[21:28]who doesn't drink I spend all of my time
[21:32]when I'm around all the way up into my
[21:33]late 30s because there was a couple of
[21:35]times when I've had to live with them um
[21:39]and I'll get into why at some point but
[21:41]basically they moved in with me and
[21:43]completely derailed my life I ended up
[21:45]losing my house had to move in with them
[21:46]in my late
[21:47]30s and guys don't fight
[21:51]okay and
[21:53]um even in my late 30s it was like the
[21:56]same patterns I was constantly
[21:58]monitoring my behavior
[22:01]and his reaction to it every time I left
[22:05]my room I basically lived in my bedroom
[22:07]because I didn't want to bother the guy
[22:09]you know he has spent the last like 15
[22:13]years sitting on a couch doing nothing
[22:15]with his life by the way and so I come
[22:17]out of my bedroom and I'll walk into the
[22:20]living room and I'll look at him just to
[22:21]see what kind of mood he's in and I've
[22:23]been doing that since I was a
[22:24]child it is no way for a kid to live to
[22:27]have to sit there and monitor how their
[22:30]parent will react to them will he be
[22:33]nice will he be mean like it was a house
[22:37]filled
[22:38]with just terrible memories just
[22:43]constantly having to deal with someone
[22:45]like that is very hard and it made me
[22:49]super judgmental of
[22:50]myself it destroyed my
[22:55]self-confidence it was bad and I even in
[22:58]my in a quarter mile use the left two
[23:00]lanes to turn left to stay on Kentucky
[23:02]34 West
[23:04]guys so I'm going to give you a couple
[23:06]of exles of how this is still a problem
[23:09]so I had asked him to stop watching my
[23:12]channel
[23:13]because first of all it kind of feels
[23:15]like he's reading my diary in a sense
[23:18]use the left two lanes to turn left to
[23:20]stay on Kentucky 34 West and I don't I
[23:23]don't mind that part so much even though
[23:24]I don't want him in my life like that
[23:26]like cuz we're not close um as long as
[23:29]I'm not hearing about it from him I
[23:31]don't really care I can't decide what
[23:33]he's going to watch right um but he's
[23:36]constantly commenting on it every time I
[23:39]see him or he'll text me like everything
[23:42]I'm doing he's commenting on and giving
[23:43]his advice and it's just often bad
[23:47]advice but more than that um continue on
[23:51]Kentucky 34 West for one and a half
[23:53]miles right and the very next day he
[23:56]texted me and he told me where to go and
[23:58]drain my tanks because he knew that my
[24:01]tanks were full now there I have two
[24:04]problems with that one he's not
[24:07]respecting a boundary I'm trying to S
[24:09]with him and two he's basically telling
[24:12]me that I'm too dumb to figure out how
[24:14]to do that myself like I can't figure
[24:16]out how to drain my tanks like I I can't
[24:19]figure that out I I don't I'm not I'm
[24:22]not bragging but I have an IQ of 140
[24:25]like this guy has been treating me like
[24:27]a dum child since I was a kid and I'm
[24:31]just so tired of it I have been judged
[24:34]by him my whole life even when he's
[24:36]being nice he's not really being nice
[24:39]he's just another example I asked him to
[24:43]come with me to the campground that
[24:44]first time because I really wanted to
[24:46]have someone in that passenger seat with
[24:49]me and he was the only one that I could
[24:53]ask like if I could have asked the devil
[24:55]I would have like that's how I kind of
[24:57]think of him
[24:59]and we're hooking up my
[25:02]Jeep and I'm telling him so once the
[25:04]drive shaft disconnected I have a manual
[25:07]transmission it needs to be in first
[25:08]gear he's like you're going to tear up
[25:10]your engine blah blah blah just going
[25:13]off on me and I'm like dude I'm not
[25:15]wrong about this so I have to pull out
[25:18]the manual and prove it to him and it's
[25:21]like he just never listens to me he he
[25:24]doesn't believe anything I tell him he
[25:26]he said well I just wanted to make sure
[25:28]you read it right I mean what this is
[25:32]the man that raised me and he used to
[25:35]sit me down in the living room and just
[25:38]sit there and just tell me why in a qu
[25:41]mile turn left onto Wilderness Road for
[25:43]hours and it was horrible and I hated it
[25:47]so much that there were times that I was
[25:49]homeless by choice I would just leave I
[25:51]didn't want to deal with
[25:54]him it's just like guys I mean this is
[25:58]just touching the surface of this man it
[26:01]was bad turn left onto Wilderness Road I
[26:04]just don't know
[26:06]like I just don't know
[26:11]how sorry in a quarter mile turn right
[26:14]on East Main
[26:16]Street
[26:20]um I just I can't have this man in my
[26:23]life he makes me miserable every time I
[26:26]have to drive to his house I just
[26:30]it's just the most depressing thing I
[26:32]just absolutely hate having to do it I
[26:34]hate being around
[26:36]him um he's just not nice he he seems to
[26:41]think he's changed at 70 but he has not
[26:43]changed not really and I watched at the
[26:46]light turn right on East Main Street you
[26:49]know my whole life um I just felt so bad
[26:53]for her because she could have had such
[26:55]a better life she kept choosing this man
[26:59]who was in a quarter mile turn left onto
[27:01]South Fourth Street I just think it's
[27:03]sad um she had a rough childhood and I
[27:06]understand why I mean for her it was
[27:08]stability Comfort all that kind of
[27:11]stuff that's just I always wish that she
[27:15]could have been a little bit more Brave
[27:16]I would have had a better life she would
[27:18]have had a better life my brother would
[27:19]have had a better life we're all screwed
[27:21]up because of this man all of
[27:25]us and so I just want to get away from
[27:27]him I don't even you know I love him
[27:31]there are times when I want to talk to
[27:33]him not often but sometimes maybe
[27:35]there's something I want to talk to him
[27:37]about I wish he would just let me
[27:39]initiate the contact and leave it at
[27:42]that but he doesn't he he just keeps
[27:47]pushing me and I I just I am so close to
[27:50]the point of breaking off contact not
[27:53]just with him but with my mother because
[27:54]you can't separate the two you just
[27:56]can't and if that happens
[28:00]I mean I don't know who do I blame
[28:02]myself or
[28:03]him because I have got to do what's
[28:06]healthy for me and what's healthy for me
[28:09]is being very far away from the
[28:12]sky I know a lot of people have have
[28:15]father issues that's you know I don't
[28:18]know if it's an American thing a
[28:19]worldwide thing what but it's a common
[28:24]thing but man I I just keep
[28:29]my life should have I should have
[28:30]flourished and I didn't
[28:33]because of all the crap he put me
[28:36]through the times I was homeless just
[28:38]the emotional abuse at the light turn
[28:40]left onto South Fourth Street so much
[28:43]you know emotional abuse and
[28:46]manipulation my whole
[28:48]life and I watched him do it to
[28:51]everybody everybody but especially me he
[28:54]had a continue on South Fourth Street
[28:56]for one mile for just uring me
[29:00]mentally and you don't just get over
[29:02]that you don't get over that because he
[29:04]helped you do a couple things with your
[29:05]camper and he thinks he's just a great
[29:08]guy now or
[29:09]something it's just I'm trying to I
[29:13]don't know that I'm explaining this real
[29:15]well in my head I was thinking about
[29:17]what I'd say and this is what's coming
[29:20]out guys I just I
[29:24]wish honest to God I wish I had been
[29:26]raised by somebody else I really
[29:29]do um I will
[29:34]never he robbed me of a good
[29:39]life and he keeps doing it so I said in
[29:44]a video one day that I know the day I
[29:48]said this in my video and the video is
[29:50]some titled something like saying
[29:51]goodbye to my old life I know the day
[29:53]that my life got derailed and it's the
[29:55]day he moved into my house when I was
[29:57]like not sure what age I
[30:00]was
[30:01]um I mean I had to be in my 30s I guess
[30:05]parents were living in Michigan I was
[30:06]living in
[30:07]Kentucky
[30:09]and one day my mom just wrote this
[30:12]message on my Facebook in a quar mile
[30:14]continue on to us 127 South houstonville
[30:17]Road my mom writes this message on my
[30:20]Facebook that says please save me
[30:23]LOL
[30:25]and basically she's just saying I want
[30:28]to live with you and she's my mother I
[30:30]love her to death I'll do anything for
[30:31]her have my whole
[30:33]life
[30:35]and so they move in with me but what she
[30:38]wasn't thinking about was that she was
[30:40]putting the darkest possible soul on
[30:43]Earth in my house with me and it
[30:46]derailed my life
[30:48]completely to the point I lost my house
[30:51]lost my job cuz that man there's no one
[30:54]on this planet who continue on us 7
[30:58]South for 47 miles it just sucks the
[31:00]happiness right out of
[31:04]me and I had to move in with them and
[31:06]then for like the next 6 years 5 years 6
[31:09]years I don't know I'm in this house
[31:11]with him just feeling tortured every
[31:14]single
[31:16]day and I
[31:20]just I am so tired of it I I'm not
[31:25]like I the thing is
[31:28]my mom has a hereditary condition a
[31:30]kidney disease and they thought she
[31:32]would have died decades ago I did
[31:35]everything in my power to make sure I
[31:36]was always close to
[31:38]her
[31:40]and that meant putting up with my dad
[31:43]and I think now I made a mistake that I
[31:45]should never have done that I I didn't
[31:48]live for myself I lived for her and it's
[31:52]sad because she's probably nearing the
[31:54]end of her life now and it is going to
[31:56]destroy me when that happens guys it is
[31:58]going to destroy
[32:00]me but I had to do something for myself
[32:03]this
[32:05]time and you know she kept choosing him
[32:08]those were her
[32:09]choices and I kept choosing her and
[32:12]those were my
[32:16]choices family Dynamics they
[32:19]suck this is really awesome to see
[32:21]Bailey was looking out the windows but
[32:23]now he's just chilling up there but he
[32:24]was he was looking out the windows like
[32:26]cing around on the just like Oliver was
[32:29]this is going to work out I he was so
[32:31]happy I was worried but I think this is
[32:35]going to work out I mean imagine our
[32:37]trip to Nevada like it's going to be so
[32:39]cool with my cats Bailey you're so
[32:41]pretty dude you're so
[32:45]pretty so this is how how completely he
[32:49]derailed my life at the time I was
[32:51]running my alliance in Eve online and
[32:54]like over a thousand people were foll
[32:56]were a part of my group like I was there
[32:58]leader you know I had built this
[33:00]enormous Community online I had friends
[33:03]things were going great I loved my life
[33:05]I had a good
[33:07]job I was doing everything I needed to
[33:09]to fix my teeth but then he moved into
[33:12]my house and he just
[33:14]stopped doing anything he sat on my
[33:17]couch and watched Netflix all day long
[33:20]he live I am a programmer so I use use
[33:22]the internet all the time and I'm
[33:24]playing an online game he quadr drup the
[33:29]amount of bandwidth that I was using in
[33:31]my house on a monthly basis just from
[33:33]watching Netflix cuz that's all he did
[33:36]he didn't look for a job he didn't do
[33:38]anything and it just I just it just
[33:42]really got under my
[33:44]skin
[33:47]and like I just it is so hard to explain
[33:51]like my mom
[33:52]will get real defensive and protect him
[33:57]if she thinks that
[33:59]I'm I'm trying to explain this I don't
[34:02]know how like like I had a problem with
[34:05]that and I'm trying I'm trying to
[34:07]constructively explain this to
[34:10]them but no it doesn't work that way in
[34:13]my
[34:14]family and now we're dead we never
[34:17]learned to communicate like normal
[34:19]people like I was saying he used to sit
[34:21]me down on the couch and just sit there
[34:23]and Crush my spirit for hours at a time
[34:27]like it was a game to him I will never
[34:32]understand how you could do that to your
[34:34]son I always felt like he was competing
[34:36]with me and I never understood that
[34:38]either it was
[34:40]like he couldn't just like support me
[34:43]and help me to thrive in life it was
[34:47]like he made it his goal to do the
[34:51]opposite I mean I definitely have Daddy
[34:53]Issues guys that is the source of a lot
[34:57]of my problem
[34:58]problems so you know once it became time
[35:03]and there's other stuff like I'm gay
[35:06]and you know I'm older so it's easier to
[35:09]accept now but back then people didn't
[35:12]and I knew that because I watched how my
[35:15]parents were whenever that subject came
[35:17]up and it was not good so I didn't feel
[35:20]comfortable coming out to them I hated
[35:23]myself I cried myself to sleep every
[35:25]single night and
[35:28]there would be times my mom would try to
[35:29]get me to tell her I was Kay and I would
[35:31]get so defensive it's like I'm not
[35:33]coming out to you like if you want and
[35:37]you know she would say something
[35:38]like um if you are it's okay well no
[35:42]because your behavior tell me it's not
[35:44]okay because I hear dad bashing gay
[35:46]people and you're not doing anything
[35:48]that shows me that you actually like
[35:52]accept gay people like I don't you know
[35:54]there's nothing in my life that tells me
[35:56]that that's the case so why why would I
[35:58]believe what you're telling me like I
[36:00]was not raised well I just wasn't and I
[36:04]know that's the case for millions and
[36:06]millions and millions and millions of
[36:08]people so I don't want it to sound
[36:11]like you know poor me it
[36:17]just it's just you know I just knew that
[36:21]at some point I was going to tell you
[36:22]guys these things because I'm trying to
[36:25]make this channel as authentic as I can
[36:28]and you're going to see my issues come
[36:30]up you've already seen them I have a
[36:33]really hard time talking to other people
[36:37]and I mean I do believe it's because of
[36:40]them for one thing they never taught us
[36:42]how
[36:43]to like everything is just so messed up
[36:47]in my
[36:49]head I'm trying so hard to move on from
[36:52]it all are you okay Bailey why are you
[36:55]crying buddy
[36:57]wait is that
[37:00]Oliver I can't tell sometimes I can't
[37:02]tell it's weird which one Oliver or
[37:09]Bailey I TR don't know I hope you guys
[37:12]are okay though I think you I don't know
[37:14]Oliver one hit he's probably under one
[37:15]of the
[37:17]seats okay so here's the big one when
[37:20]you throw your kid out of the house you
[37:22]are abandoning them you are rejecting
[37:25]them you are telling them that they are
[37:26]not worthy human beings being that they
[37:29]are such scum that you cannot even
[37:31]tolerate them in your
[37:33]house when you do that to your child you
[37:36]are destroying their spirit and that is
[37:38]what my parents did to me don't do it
[37:42]find another way as I'm being tailgated
[37:45]right now and I absolutely hate that and
[37:48]I just I'm going to bring this up many
[37:50]times in my videos when I'm driving
[37:51]because I'm just going to keep reminding
[37:53]everybody I get it like a lot of you are
[37:56]probably going to be the people I'm
[37:57]complaining about I'm sorry but it's
[38:00]wrong stop tailgating it's wrong you're
[38:02]not getting anywhere faster why are you
[38:05]trying to pressure other people to go
[38:06]faster I'm going the speed
[38:08]limit That's the Law you go the speed
[38:12]limit you should not R tailgating
[38:14]anybody it's unsafe if something comes
[38:17]out in front of my vehicle and I have to
[38:19]slam on the brakes you have like a
[38:21]millisecond to respond to that it is so
[38:24]dumb I don't understand why people do it
[38:26]there is no no reason why you cannot
[38:29]just obey the speed limits drive at
[38:31]reasonable distances you're not getting
[38:34]anywhere faster you're
[38:36]not everybody does it I get it but it's
[38:39]wrong and I really really hate people
[38:41]who do it I really do seriously just
[38:44]stop doing it if you're one of those
[38:46]people who does it just stop be
[38:48]considerate of other people it's not
[38:52]that hard like I don't understand why
[38:55]what happened in the world that made
[38:57]people so self-centered so self-absorbed
[39:01]that they don't think about anybody but
[39:03]themselves
[39:05]anymore that is no way to live that is
[39:08]no way for a society to function and we
[39:11]are failing because of
[39:13]it like there's no reason to tailgate me
[39:17]it's silly it's dumb you're not going to
[39:20]get me to go faster I get that you can
[39:22]definitely pressure some people into it
[39:25]but that's just rude don't you think why
[39:27]why would you do it I
[39:30]just that's one thing that really
[39:32]aggravates
[39:33]me just be polite be polite to people
[39:37]what happened to civility I'm sorry I
[39:40]sound so negative guys I'm not trying
[39:44]to I guess so this is one thing you
[39:47]might want to know about me
[39:50]um I don't have very good control over
[39:54]how I sound like my emotions will come
[39:57]out

[41:24]him to be the exploring
[41:26]type um I think they're both going to
[41:28]like it in the camper like when we're
[41:30]driving I think I think it's going to be
[41:32]an awesome trip all the
[41:36]way I don't know why I get to Nevada
[41:39]like it's just going to be awesome we're
[41:40]going to it's just going to be so fun to

[41:45]really debating it cuz I just didn't
[41:47]know if it would work
[41:50]but see I doubt myself too much I doubt
[41:53]myself all the time and if I can just
[41:56]push through my outs things usually work
[41:59]out and that's what I'm trying to do
[42:02]it's kind of like that movie I forget
[42:04]the name of it but I was like the guy
[42:05]had to say yes to everything it feels
[42:08]like that I just need to keep saying yes
[42:12]I know right
[42:14]Bailey sorry for the lighting guys we're
[42:17]almost
[42:18]there um I just wanted to talk about
[42:21]some real fast so I know some of you
[42:24]left some comments for me after my last
[42:26]video about me losing my journals I
[42:28]haven't had a chance to read them yet um
[42:30]I saw like a sentence or two and and I'm
[42:34]grateful for the nice comments cuz I
[42:36]know they were nice um I wanted you and
[42:39]one of you asked a question I just
[42:41]wanted to clear it out so I definitely
[42:43]lost my journals and I know what
[42:45]happened I kept my journals in a a black
[42:47]bag at my
[42:49]house um a very big one cuz there are a
[42:51]lot of journals there are probably like
[42:53]30 of
[42:54]them and when I went to Phoenix I needed
[42:58]that bag so I took them out of out of it
[43:00]all my journals out of that bag I put
[43:02]them somewhere went to Phoenix and my
[43:06]mom and my dad were at my house doing
[43:08]stuff there and I'm pretty sure my mom
[43:10]threw them away um it was an accident
[43:13]I'm sure she didn't
[43:15]know but they're
[43:18]gone and I
[43:21]know I mean I don't
[43:24]know like I don't know why you guys
[43:26]would say about
[43:29]that
[43:32]um I don't think I can truly express to
[43:35]you how much of a loss that is to me
[43:38]because for one thing I have a horrible
[43:40]memory I think that I block a lot of
[43:43]stuff out for my life and my journals I
[43:46]really wanted to go back and look at
[43:48]them one day and I was going to do that
[43:50]soon now in 2 miles take Exit 11 for US
[43:53]31 East toward Kentucky 90 West US 68
[43:56]West
[43:58]and now I'll never be able to and it
[44:00]just breaks my
[44:02]heart the there are very few things in
[44:05]life that
[44:06]I as far as possessions go that I care
[44:08]about and that was number one like it
[44:11]was number one if that was the only
[44:14]possession I could have ever own that
[44:15]thing they went with me everywhere I
[44:17]went it did not matter what my situation
[44:19]was my journals came with me like I
[44:23]can't imagine a worst loss it is
[44:25]devastating to me
[44:28]I'm just I'm so heartbroken about it but
[44:31]it's done and there's nothing I can do
[44:33]about it they're gone

[45:10]a lot better than all the other times
