I was thinking a similar thing. I had a falling out with my parents where upon the issues were never resolved and no apologies forth coming. The years went by and while on the internet learned they were both deceased. No one in the family made an effort to notify me. Upon sending a contact letter to my brother and sister I was ignored and left with no information on the estate or where or how the property was divided. Many lies were spread around about me and that left me dumbfounded. It's been 7 years now . Talk about greed betrayal. and slander .I cannot call them family because they don't deserve that respect. It's CRAZY
@@teresaestevezalvarez664 I'll put it this way because I've heard comments like yours before. CHILDREN DO NOT OWE( in general ) THIER PARENTS ANYTHING. ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND THE PARENTS OWE THEIR CHILDREN .. NOW IF I HAVE A SON OR DAUGHTER I WILL OWE THEM and rightly so. They will not owe me. When you understand that basic equation you discover that anything else is off the mark. Now with siblings I'll go with what the BOOK OF PROVERBS says SIBLINGS AS WE SOON DISCOVER PROVIDE TROUBLE THAT FOLLOW ONE ALL THEIR DAYS.
What a tear jerker of stories. These touch my heart, as I too was taken away from my Daddy at the age of 3 year's old. When I turned 18 , I went to meet my Daddy. It changed my life as well. I finally got closure and felt whole for the 1st time in my life. He was a great Dad. He passed away about 10 year's ago, and I miss him so much.
@@markr.devereux3385 Other episodes have specifically stated that DNA tests were taken. Is there a reason why they didn't say it here? There was another video where a Vietnamese kid who got lost in the marketplace. He's all grown up and they found who they thought was his mother...happy reunion. A few days later, the DNA test said they were wrong. And yes, you would think a national TV show would be more organized and careful, but...
Man this had me crying, specially since I am about to be a first time father anyway now. And it hits me in a different way then when I would watch these videos a year ago.
Noelene is a strong and resilient woman. You can see that her son has been a tricky one to raise and has put her through the hoops. I sincerely hope he's stepped up to be a good Dad now. His daughter deserves it and maybe he's more stable. Best wishes to their whole family.
I have the feeling that if the dad is a waste of space his mum won't be. I did find it strange that she said "your daughter will come to you". As we can see, she couldn't without the help of a TV programme. How do people assume that kids will just find a way when they do nothing?
I wish I knew about this show when I was 16 I was looking for my dad through the police. The jail system family friends Facebook everything I found my granddad and a few aunties and uncles one of my uncles after a short while he died from suicide my grand dad died from liver and kidney failer I found out 3 years from a aunty I never met he had passed away and was only a few suburbs away and I ended up as the closest relitave left dealing with court funeral lawyers and the rest of it I was kept away from my dad because of my mum now I will never meet my dad and left with all these questions and will never get closure Moral of the story parents never keep your children from the parents it leaves the kids with life long mental health issues thank you for the show xc
the other thing is stop lying about the other parent, just tell the truth, just because the parents do not like each other, does not mean the child has to hate as well. (abusive parents are a different thing)
Accidently I strumblre upon this channel yesterday, I watch every episode eversince and shade tears for them. I am so happy for them. The LORD is so great!
Damn tough actually . So many men I have known over the years suffered to the point of taking their own lives and twice I knew men who committed the worst sin possible; took their children's lives. The word to remember is misandry. ,man hating. it is the force responsible for attacking the very l fabric of society.
@@Mercmad So men who just nick off and dump their parental responsibility onto women or who can't be bothered following up where their kids are, that has nothing to do with anything - its just all women's fault? Half of these men knew they had kids and just didn't pursue the matter - even decades after, when their kids are in their 20s and 30s and the mothers are not in the picture. They bear no responsibility? For anything? You're ridiculous. I often find that people who rave on about misandry are just trying to cover their misogyny in righteous robes.
@@Mercmad Are you actually serious? My father is a truly evil and violent man who caused so much damage, am I meant to have him in my life ? Nope, not living in fear and terror ever again. There's all types of stories and reasons behind family breakdowns, it's not all misandry. Just because my father is a vile person it doesn't mean I hate men, there's so many good men around.
So exciting to see this young man reconciled to his Dad, and now he and his wife and children as well can get to know his side of the family!! So wonderful!!
Love this!!!! Love to see more programs like this. Sad how things like this happens. God bless that young man I really hope they show an up date on that family. Many blessings to them.
Brendah Brendah life has taught you 2 be stable. Your tears tell alot of stories. Thank you that her son 4gave her and she even lies about the guy. A child cant 4get. She cant admit especially living such a life like she did. God gave her only one child. She could have died alone but God is merciful
Yes, when she said he could be 'complicated' I guess she's been through the wringer with him. I hope things are more positive for all of them and the fear has left his mums eyes.
@SaidiLouise perhaps thats why she accompanied his to the first meeting. Families can be complicated indeed. I wonder what Michael's real story is though. I hope the daughter finds what she is looking for.
All those wasted years and time wondering but a fantastic ending. Always try to reach out as I'd rather know then wonder. Good luck on your first real journey together.
I will never understand why a mother tells her child her other parent wanted nothing to do with said child. She couldn’t do anything more to destroy this child!
My daughter died few months ago! She spent her life destroying herself over her father basically ignoring her existence! I didn't even tell him she passed away.
All these shows are wonderful but this should never happen to a child - that one parent becomes a stranger and disappears from the child's life. They still have years ahead of them to spend catching up, but it will never be like having your Dad there when you were little.
I understand the need to find your parent missing from your life as a child. Lived that. I’ve since discovered that getting to know the “missing” person in my life wasn’t worth knowing anyway. Sometimes you are better off not having that influence in your life growing up. Find yourself in yourself and not others nor seek their approval. You don’t need it. I wish you all peace in your endeavours.
In many cases the missing parent and the close family members are longing to reunite with the child. They deserve a second chance at least . there are no guarantees you are correct.
@@markr.devereux3385 well, I wasn’t trying to make it correct for anyone. I was sharing what happened for me. How do you know what one deserves and doesn’t. The parent missing from my childhood is undeserving. The parent present during my childhood was also undeserving of being present and chooses not to be present in my adulthood. So abandoned in childhood twice and abandoned in adulthood twice. Some of us find peace within even when it isn’t present around us.
@@LadyGreyAgeingDisGracefully both my parents are missing from my life for 20years now. My friend looked them up and found they passed by 2011. oh well! The bad news was my siblings ripped me off on my inheritance bought new houses and cars and take cruise ships regularly. In my youth I dreamed about going to a foster home but no luck.
@@LadyGreyAgeingDisGracefully beware of siblings and follow your heart not conform to ego driven parents. And a second chance is something that should be on the table whenever possible.
We have a little area near us in Australia by the same name. I’ve always known it was pronounced totally differently from the way it looks but didn’t know how. Now I do and I’ve written it down.
New subscriber here! 🤩🤩This is just my first time watching your show & I loved it! I get so emotional & can't help myself but cry.😞😞At the end of every story...you can always see a silver lining! GOD is GOOD...ALL the TIME!!!😍🤩
Michael's own mother said he can be complicated. And Maryann's mother didn't want to be apart of the search. That tells me he put her through something.
@@lenawarring9977 Keep me posted I'd really like to know how much family your about to gain. I'm know you will find him and family, he's waiting for you.
@28:56 Her memory is suspicious. I hope that there relationship works. She doesn't seem like she has it all together. I worry about their differences. They may clash.
This guy always says the most cruel things like. "This man who never cared about you, you want to find?" I like the shows that are kinder. UK is best that I've seen. They don't add insult to injury. I can't believe these people continue to talk to this guy... but they're desperate to find their loved ones. I guess that puts them at a disadvantage.
Mary Anne has lost a lot of weight and is beautiful! She must feel complete with her father and other family.. It is so wrong for one parent to alienate their child from the other!
Nici o mamă n-ar zâmbi atât de cretin când i s-ar povesti c-a fost văzută ultima dată la televizor , acum aproape două decenii .🖤 You are not more that a spermatozoid , " father " ! 🖤
Miracles DO really happen... Sometimes we just got to give them a chance... There is always the chance to undo all of this Wrong doing... Good news ... Love and forgivenes áre the true answer to our hopes... From Costa Rica to the world... Pura Vida...
Not all stories about family reunions are happy ones, I had not seen my father since I was about 7, I did not know him, I chose to move town and try a new life with him and my young 4 yr old son, his grandson. After 6 months he sexually abused him and I had to leave the home or lose my child so I ended up homeless, taken in with my son by a dear couple for the weekend so that I could compose myself and get us a home. Some fathers are best left in the past.
David,Have you embarked on a search that didn't yield expected result? There's no feeling like knowing that you are being loved by a family you never had
I real felt for children who became victims of relationship that did not last for some selfish reason. I wish this type of relationship did not result in producing issues that become victims. It is unfair for children to be separated for father or mother.
What happened to worlds worst mom? Every Tuesday there was a new episode. It’s probably my favorite series on this channel. But last Tuesday there was no new episode... are they still making that series?! If not where can I find new episodes of worlds worst mom? ~ESCA
My dad buggered off when i was 18 months old lived 20 minutes away from me all my life was a police officer and never bothered with me unless outside influences pressured him then it would fizzle out again. I asked him once why don't you want to see me more( he knew my home life was turbulent) his reply was "its your access to us....." then i didn't see him for years. He has the cheek at now 41 with 2 children with issues when he has seen me at family funerals to ask ME, where have you been why haven't you been to see us???? And his wife looks as though she had the right to be fuming with me. I've never asked them for anything, I've never other than existing caused them and disruption....... its jaw dropping they think they are the hurt parties or the wronged parties. I stay well clear they are deluded and toxic.
