You weren’t cheated on because you weren’t good enough. They cheated because they’re insecure and don’t respect you. Stop wasting time on someone who threw away a gem for a pebble. The trash took itself out. Need help moving on...

Bless his heart, he's crushed with pain. shame on the Mom.
To see the tears in that sweet boys eyes just hurts the heart. He's been let down so many times. That will scar his life. Left to wonder, Why don't I matter to you? What a horrible burden to leave on any child.
Some people don't deserve kids....... PERIOD !
Utterly heartbreaking! NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH A PARENT LIKE THIS.
So sad he had me in tears I felt him pain 💔😪♥️ I’m glad he stood up for himself
my grandson dealing with same situation with his dad. says he wants to get him and Always let's him down. Breaks my heart ❤️ 💙 to see him let down and heartbroken.
how did that feel horrible mom did it hit you in the heart i hope so bc that little boy has enough of you...he said what he said bc of what you put that baby through hes letting you know that now its your turn to not be wanted
He breaks my heart 😢
Poor precious smart young boy… it’s killing him.. look at his tears.. He just doesn’t realize that he is better off with his Dad..I pray he learns to live without the person that is support be mom… She is not a good person! Thank you Dad for taking care of him.. you are doing a great job!👏 👏👏👏
Grown before his years
poor kid. smart kid. my heart breaks for him
Bless you love , very brave !!!
Breaks my Heart
Poor sweet baby. Look to your father to love. Pray for your mom, but let her go. It's not your fault. 🙏
Bless you , you’re amazing! She doesn’t deserve you. Be happy sweetheart.
God bless the Child 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen baby your right
Bless you little guy! You are so brave and smart!
He’s soooo mature
My dad left 3 kids under 5, my brother was 2 hours old. we hardly heard from him or saw him for several years. after 19 years our mother died and he acted like he cared. he was hoping there was something in it for him. his family were worthless to. 9 miles away!!
The pain is bad, yes, but it will make him a better adult because he had no choice but to mature early to be this concise in his feelings.
She didn't even look sad.
So articulate , she’s done ..
oh my gosh, i just want to hug him and tell him how wonderful he is!! I was out up for adoption at birth, then when I was 12 my adoptive parents got divorced and neither wanted me so i why in to foster care until i was 18. i want to tell him it has nothing to do with him, it's all about her and her problems. i just want him to realize none of this is his fault. God bless that sweet child
if I said I wasn't crying, I'd be lying
so sad
WOW, enlightened child, may he grow feeling love and support
oh this is an awesome kid I don't know if it's true or false but all I know is that parents need to grow up this kid even knows better
DELISA PART 2
Very smart boy 👍. Soooo smart 🤓 too 👍 😀 👌.
his hardest hurt hope they can work it out in the future that's his mother
wow God bless you
She is no mom ok she's neglecteive
Hopefully she understands what you feel from her neglect. You're strong.
This is so very sad...I don't understand how on earth a Mother can just give up a child! This child is suffering inside, his little heart is crushed. 😥😭
I know how this boy feels...my mother only wanted me for power over my father by using me as a bank to get the support from my father.
Sad
This ripped my heart wide open because I couldn’t have children and I would’ve loved to have had children and to see what people do to their children just is beyond me. I can’t file it.
if you manage when you really need them, you are done needing them later. this poor baby. I feel for him. Worthless mother.
Awesome for being so bold & honest. She deserved this
He’s a brave young man I wish I told this to my mom when I was younger 🥺🥺🥺🥺
brave young man! Good for you son
my mom was the same way
I feel bad for kids like this. She is being told to grow up by a kid. I had to this before
He Has Been Hurt So ManyTimes,Now He Just BlamesHer,And Realizes She Doesn't Want Him.I Think He JustAccepts lt.It's Not His Fault,lt's Hers.
BLESS U SWEETHEART LET IT ALL OUT n U WILL b a WONDERFUL DAD 2 ur BABIES, AM SORRY THAT'S HOW ur MOM DID U, BUT U r GONNA GROW up n b AWESOME 👍👍
oh dear Lord bless and heal this sweet boys heart ❤️ 🙏🏼💙 and he's exactly right Grow up be a mom he deserves..I could have never left my babies , My girls have grown up , but it doesn't matter if they or my grandsons were to call me right now or everyday till my last breath they know I'm going to say where are you then ok love you , I'm otw ...
Damn
Is this a show or movie? S and Ep? Name?
I am so sorry for what you're going thru, young man. Hopefully, your dad gives you all the love and support.
Poor kid 😢
I raised my Grandson he’s almost 20 years old, that damn mom dropped him off at the grocery store in Tallahassee said i be back in a month or two to get him. He has never seen her nor wants to! So I know what that you man feels like.
The tears in the boy's eyes and the apathetic look in the "mom's" eyes says it all.
I know a boy who feels the same way with his mom. The sad thing is he loves her . She only lived 35 miles away from him. So heartbreaking ❤️🩹
God's Blessings Young Man
This is almost as bad as my son's egg donor. No birthday cards, no phone calls, no nothin... I've had him his whole life, and his mother has seen him 1 time since he was less than a year old... He's now 18, accepted to the top forensics university in the nation, and goes to basic training this Monday to join the ranks of America's finest in protecting our future. I couldn't be more proud that he wanted to be a Combat Engineer, to follow in my footsteps. Fathers can raise kids, nurture their intellect and capabilities, show them all the love a woman can, and in many cases, so much more.
That is a crushing feeling thinking that you aren’t really loved by your mother, I know it personally
🙏
this hurts my heart
So sad wow you just don’t do your kids like that
he got that right
Breaks my heart. I just don’t understand how a Mom be this was.
No child should have to have this much pain
You are a warrior. I am so sorry for all you have and continue to go through. Keep your head up!
sad but sounds rehearsed
😭
