This is what unconditional love sounds like. ❤️When Mo'Nique's husband, Sidney, said, "I want you for a lifetime," it changed everything. An incredible story of honesty, support, and the love that inspires real change.

I call mine dad. I tell people I have a "dad" & a "daddy". dad raised me since I was 15......he's awesome and still guides me! he was there through Everything, even my daddy's death! it takes a real man to step in with someone else's child!
It takes a hell of a man to step up and raise someone else's kids...I admire the guys that do this.❤️👍
I'm 66yrs young and I grew up knowing my "stepdad" since I was born. My mom was friends with him B4 I was born. They married when I was 15yrs old & me & my 3 siblings always called him "Ol' man" but ALL of us referred to him as "dad"! He passed in 2017 while living with me.👴🏽🧑🏽🦰🫶🏽♥️💯
This video brought me to tears. When I was 12 my mother divorced the stepdad that I had since I was four. He had his problems, but he was my 'dad' and I loved him. (I didn't really know my natural father for more than 1-2 visits a year until I was an adult.) No one thought to facilitate a continued relationship with the only father I'd really known. it really wounded me. Don't do this to your kids if you get divorced.🙏🌸
Mine still hold resentment after being with their father for 21 yrs. I was not even involved with him when he divorced his first wife. He had been divorced before we even started dating. I’ve been there for all of them prior to grandchildren and weddings. We have 12 grandchildren between us, so call they are all my grandbabies. Some are made to call me by my first name by their parents. I tell the young kids if they don’t want call me grandma, they have to call me miss Julia. I don’t think it’s right that they call me by my first name, They show their teachers more respect and they do me. But I never give up. I’m there when they need to drive them to their games or school events and their parents are working they are all my grand babies regardless of what their parents may say. I love every one of them as if they were my own blood. There is no difference. I show no disrespect to their other grandmother, 🥰
I've been through so fucking much also... And this is the first video today to make me cry. Because I can only imagine. If you don't love her, it'll do worse than you can imagine. I went through so much trauma and watching everyone fight and both parents hating me and my sister, still to this day. ALL I ever wanted was for someone to see that and understand that.. and make me not feel singled out enough to just want to die.
I didn't call mine Dad until I was I my late 40's early 50's. Lost him almost 2 yrs ago in his late 80's. RIP Dad JB
You're a wonderful man, sir! ❤️🙏🏻 Our daughter has a sperm donor and a DADDY! She'll be 29 this July and still calls him Daddy! She loves him and he loves her... In their eyes, their bond is stronger than blood! 💕
wish my step dad understood
My middle daughter has her (technical step-dad's last name and everything).... Her dad doesn't have much of a relationship with her but it's definitely gotten better over the years... she's got a great relationship with his mom (her GiGi) because she visits her every year for the week of her birthday since she's a traveling nurse and actually has her visiting her in Georgia right now during summer break for the first time (since she's almost 12
My grandson at the age of 19 started dating a girl and she had a son when she was like 16 so the boy was already two years old when they got together and that’s his son He is my 😲😲great grandson no matter what family. We all accept him like this ours.He is 9 years old now he plays sports and enjoy my grand son being his DAD
I had birth parents and (step parents). I was blessed I had two sets of parents and they became friends and I was the main concern for them. I miss them all, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are a little hard still after all these years .
I started dating a woman when she was 3 months pregnant, I was there when she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and we broke up after 5 years. He was told that I wasn't his real father, and I of course knew he wasn't my son by blood, I never turned my back on him, and have been there for him since he was born. He is 18 now and has only called me dad, and introduces me as his dad,(his choice) and I have always called him my son, and introduced him as my son, as well as I will always be his dad and he will always be my son.
I'm this exact way with my step son. I've raised him since he was 5 he will be 15 this year and I've never forced it . I hate when parents do that to their kids.
I’m a stepmom and it’s tough. 🙏🏼
How lucky they are. Awesome man!
God bless you bro, it takes a lot to take in someone else's kids
My daughter calls her stepdad DAD but my son doesn’t but he still looks at him as a father figure
being a step father this is amazing to me I feel the same way to my stepson
that's how real decent men act
Mine call me by my name too and that's ok. From day one when they asked me, I told them to call me whatever they wanted. Once in a while the two youngest do call me mom but most of the time it's by my name.
Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
how cute… Its hard to find a real MAN TO STEP UP
🥰 Beautiful that's your dad. God bless you both. He is a proud Dad.
omg this is so sweet
Your a good man
Awesome
Don’t you girls think he HAS EARNED THE TITLE OF “DaD??” I do !!!!
He deserves to called Dad he's there for them loving them unconditionally. Good man!!!!
As someone who had an Amazing (Step) Dad this hot home! Thank you for being there!!!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a stepdad he's been my dad since I was a teenager when I talked to him I call him Gordon but when I tell other people about him that's my dad
Good man!
by far the most unappreciated thing you can do. The father can be a low life that she only visits on the weekends that takes a 8 years old money and he will be treated better.
something about the way they looked at each other didn't sit right 😭😭😭😳 kinda creepy look
Your are an amazing man !!!!
gaaaaayyyy
I miss my daddy died when I was 15 in 53 it's been awfully long time .🙏I MISS MY DAD HOLD THEM TIGHT KISSES AND HUGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT B4 ITS 2 LATE 💕🫂🫶🌟✨️
I lost my step dad he died a few months back taught me how to actually love and respect my actual dad R.i.p Carlton Buddoo.
It is definitely a earned love...but once it's earned it's deep & unbreakable!
🥰💕
🌸
It takes a real man for sure and you can tell he really loves this child♥️♥️♥️♥️
What song is this
Beautiful 💕
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
this is a very special gentleman he loves her very. much there are a lot of step parts who don't give a hoot about the children and treat them badly so thank you for being one of those men who stepped up God bless you
my son calls my husband Dad since he learned to talk. He stepped right into his biological father's shoes, since my son's bio- dad wasn't ready to be a father. I left him and decided to raise my son alone with my family. Then I got back together with my Jr highschool boyfriend and we got married and my son started calling my husband daddy and I had other kids. Happy family ❤️
aww..give them time they will call you dad when their ready to but it doesn't mean that they don't love you 😍 I can tell she loves you from how she looks at you 🥰
