Dan Soder on his dad and sister dying 

Dan and big Jay have done a bit of material about being the son of an alcoholic bum dad. Son of a gary is what they call it as both of their dads names were gary

Same man. My dad had a massive stroke and became completely disabled when I was 26, then he passed away 6 years later. His entire side of the family couldn't have cared less and I still haven't talked to them in what is now about a decade. You don't need those kinds of people in you life, even if they are family.

Still, leave some room for reconciliation. That’s my advice.

@@THE_BEAR_JEW​​⁠I feel you. My dad had me late, youngest of 3 kids. Wasn’t a perfect father or husband but he did the best he could because his father died young and from a third world country. I’m grateful because he kept a roof over our head and taught me a bunch of lessons. He was flawed but I learned the best parts of him, because he wanted me to better. By the time I was 18, he retired and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. And my two brothers who had it rough with him but he never hit us; he was just a tough love kind of guy, because my mom would baby us. Had to take care of him, clean him, bathe him all while my brothers lived their lives. His side of the family would just use him for gifts or berate him because he was a quiet man. He passed away last year and I haven’t spoken to his side of the family since the funeral. Didn’t even want to invite them, even my uncle tried to upcharge for the funeral plot to make money. Nobody is perfect, and we want to put our parents on a pedestal but they’re humans just like us. I’m eternally blessed to have a dad like him when I know most people didn’t have one or an abusive one. Rest In Peace to your father. I can rest easy because I didn’t have regrets or let the time pass and think we always have tomorrow. It hurts but I cherish those moments even when it was hard. You’re not alone in the way you feel.

Imagine going from creating the Chappelle show to barely breaking 50k views on RU-vid. Ouch talk about a crash.

So does he!

Didn’t know any of his back story. I can relate. By 30, I had lost my father & two siblings. My husband died when his son was only 13.

@@samanthab1923 jeez! So you get it. Dan literally helped me with boundaries and putting my people pleasing qualities to bed. I live in Nashville TN…where are you from?

@@youtubedrifter5594 I’m on SE PA. Right on the Delaware River. My brother was living down in Franklin TN the last three years. Moved back to NYC.

@@samanthab1923 Yeah I don’t blame him. I’m only staying another year and I’m getting out of here

@@youtubedrifter5594 Take care 👋

So good

😢❤ someday

You could literally listen thousands of hours of the bonfire

@@jamied931 yeah thats why i said i wish there was more of dan soder out there

Unfortunately, so many women feel like that is their only option. Trying to raise and support one or more children by yourself is so challenging that it affects your decision making. Doesn’t help when men mislead you into thinking that they’re something they’re not.

Yea they do it with everyone, and then wonder why their kid hates them when they move out.

I think Dan soder has enough time he can hit the Trifecta 😅

Stupid numbies dude

This is the first step. Every school of thought worth following stresses living in understanding and forgiveness. It doesn’t mean be a hippy. It means stuff like your comment. People aren’t bad, sometimes they just have zero idea what good behavior is. And sometimes they’re too old or hurt or set in their ways to change. And if I let that make me miserable and resentful, I’m just as bad as the guy I’m resenting.

The word "fault" seems a little harsh. You can develop compassion for yourself, as well. ❤

@@liadown9052 "fault" and "words" doesn't have to come with "feelings". You're a girl, aren't you. Don't teach that to your sons.

It's good to be able to see that. It's a step

Bc u need some struggle
