Tough Love

Sometimes the best thing we can do for people is let them figure it out for themselves.

We now have a podcast! You can access it anywhere that you normally listen to your podcasts. You’ll find it under Dry Creek Wrangler Podcast.

Momma has her channel, and I encourage you to go over and check it out. Here is the link.

As a young man who never had a man in my life that was worth a fuck, I wish I could make you understand how much your wisdom helps. You're a great man.

[moderndimension]

Well, here we are. It seemed like just a few months back you were more than greatful you had about 65k subscribers. Now you are about to hit 1/2 million. You got to be one of the fastest growing channels on youtube.

Came for the horse and packing stories, stayed for the wisdom and life lessons.

Somebody who actually deserves to have half a million subscribers

This man is gem of a man and should be considered a NATIONAL treasure! 🤙🏾🖤

I just had this very conversation with some people recently. The difference between enabling and compassion. One is out of love and the other merely disguised as love.

Eeeeek. The word “tough love”. Everyone tried to tell that’s what the head of my family did with me, your words “teach them how to be appreciative”… i did everything i was asked for my first car, and then some. The day i was supposed to get it, through sweat and work, the car was sold. Many other examples, but the tough love that i was taught screamed “everyone you ever loved will demand things from u, they will need you to succeed for their benefit, once you do, they end up doing what is better for them”. And from there i grew my trust issues. These videos keep me going. Thank you.

I’m 25 going on 26 years old, just engaged and buying our first home. You’ve been a big inspiration and source of knowledge for me and I just wanted to say I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this community to help build people up. Thank you!

Sir, you are the kind of guy who I would love nothing more than to sit down and talk about life and just enjoy the world even if it feels like it’s falling apart

[flaboy]

Agree with you 100%. You can try to show people the right path, but you can't walk down it and fight their battles for them. If you do that then all you do is make them weaker from it by robbing them of the struggle it takes to overcome hardship.

As a father of four boys, im glad there are good men out there like our friend Dwayne, people who are God fearing, hardworking and full of wisdom. It takes a village. God bless sir!

[Livefire]

Good stuff! I was that baby, my dad wasn't around to raise me. I'm thankful for my mother, but the strong hand of a man is really needed to raise healthy people.

[ELWOOD]

I appreciate his neatness in his delivery, nice and stern, the way a good life lesson should be....

[geekvinos]

Form a young age I've always aspired to *be* around 'those with desirable characteristics.' I don't know where I picked that phrase up, but the idea was to reach old age with a wealth of experience and knowledge, eager to pass it on. Thank you, sir. Appreciate what you do.

[adizzle]

When your elders talk it's often a good idea to listen to them, you might learn a thing or two. Thank dry creek for being here today.

Dewayne, you and I are about the same age, give or take a few years. I just turned 54 a couple of days ago. 3 years ago l thought I had been through the fire and had it all figured out - US Marine, combat, seen things worse than any horror movie, PTSD. at that time I had overcame and was doing great and have been doing so for years. Then suddenly about 3 years ago my wife, the mother of our son, walks out suddenly, without a word, on both of us. Threw him and me for a loop. I worked with him & lovingly held his feet to the fire. He’s better, going to college like he always wanted to do. Thanks for your videos, the confirmation of others going through the same thing helps. Working on myself now again.

Every married couple who is planning on having kids need to watch this video. This is a must see!!👍👍

[marsaint]

Thank you Dewayne. I'm 22 and have felt pretty lost for a while now because honestly I'm definitely one of these babies that need to face life and walk it off. I forgive my parents for their shortcomings but understand that even though they're kind good honest people sometimes that gentle comfort isn't what one needs, it prevents the important lesson of struggling and proving your worth to yourself. I want to make a change and grow into the man I know I can be, and I know it's going to be tough but tough is just what I need. I'm gonna do it, even though right now it feels scary for me to suck it up and move on with my life I'm promising to myself that I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get back up, and fail, and get back up again.

[kevmoful]

I found you when you had a few thousand subscribers. Gives me faith in humanity you have grown your channel like you have .

I enjoy your videos with a cigar on a regular basis. Thanks

[stationarynomad]

Thank you for talking about my journey with my son. We adopted him and spent many years trying to make him understand how to stand on his own two feet.

A lot of your videos about how to be a better man help me to be a better person. Thank you. This is like a chat I would have with my dad. Something I’m making a point of doing more these days. I’m going to send this one to a friend, I’m not willing to put a band aid on what he’s going through because I’m not going to enable my friends to be weak and say everything is okay when it’s not, but maybe he can find some new courage in what you have to say.
