So many adults failed this poor young man. He suffered so much is continues to suffer. I hope he finds peace and happiness without drugs.

[EmilyElizabethxox]

Richards story always breaks my heart because you can just feel the coldness that emanates from his family. He must have felt so misunderstood. I pray he is living his best life now

[muvaempress]

Richard you are NOT the problem, your family was - excluding Kim. I hope you remember that forever. Find strength in no longer allowing your past to hold you back. You have so much purpose for the world.

[kimberlymisfit.]

He just wanted to be accepted n was failed by so many people. Of course he became a addict.Childhood trauma, abuse, grief from losing his sister, molestation. I just want to hug him.❤

"Why is my whole family here ? ... I'm totally leaving" 😆 🤣 😂

[shawnycoffman]

None of you people protected him or took care of him while he was growing up. What makes you think he would view all of you ganging up on him as a positive thing?

[RebeccaSwain-ip]

This mother is so stupid!!! She was supposed to make sure his children were not

[AiressNoir]

If you’re child is being harmed in any way shape or form and you STAND BACK & WATCH…instead of stepping in. You have automatically failed as a parent. You’re supposed to be willing to jump in front of a train or bullet to protect the child you decided to bring into the world. I could never watch someone harm a child

[Tvang]

The brother says it was hard for him? It’s not about you—you don’t even accept your own. The amount of selfishness in this family. No one wonder he has so much trauma; he has no support.

[lovingmayberry]

His mother is a coward and a liar. Despicable how she did not stand up for her son. Jehovah's Witnesses is a hateful, hate-filled group of people.
Stay clean Richard, your sister must be so proud of you. RIP Kim. 💜

[MissLiss]

Shame on that whole family, especially the mother. She’s just as bad as the step dad became she sat by and let it happen.

[jennifergraham]

He was bullied for unapologetically being himself. Maybe him being high all the time makes him feel like he's somebody else. Someone in his own little world. If his mother loved him and protected him the way she's supposed to, he would've been totally different. That mother of his is something else.

[peponwi]

"The Bible says the men are the elders and they have the final say" - YOU were his mother and you are DIRECTLY responsible to God. There is no excuse, no excuse whatsoever.

[disastrid]

That brother should be disgusted and ashamed of the way he talks about Richard.

[vanessababbage]

Richard, where ever you are, I wish you light, love and happiness. You are a beautiful soul.

[RaquelJacquelineBull]

As a former Jw I can tell you it is a cult and causes so much trauma.

[ThrivingNotDying]

Isn't that the same brother who openly said on TV that he doesn't like him?! And then cries crocodile tears. I feel for him. I hope he is still doing well all these years later.
