What I Taught My Sons: Steve’s Son Shares the Truth || STEVE HARVEY

My parents got divorced early on really early on and my father essentially started his new life without me and my mother was my best friend growing up but, you know without a father figure in the house it was lonely at times and she worked long hours which now I'm thinking may have led to some communication issues I have in relationships and my girlfriend actually got me to message my half-sister online who didn't know about me for 18 years and she messaged me back and it was just so wonderful and now I'm thinking maybe I should see if I can get in touch with him but I just that would that would devastate my mom you know she was the one that raised me but I don't know what do you think Steve okay I see you shaking your head it's not gonna jeopardize anything it's not gonna change anything between you and your mother and I know this firsthand I didn't really have my dad full-time into my life until I was 16 right they were moving to Atlanta and they said hey brother good want you to move with us because we really want to bring his family together now my mind I've been living in Cleveland my whole life I've been living with my mom it's been me and my mom that's it in the back of my mind I'm like no it's gonna hurt my mom but at 16 I knew that's what I needed as a man I needed that connection with him right so so i 100% stand by you going to open up that conversation and it's not gonna change anything between you and your mother it's not she's gonna feel this some type of way my mom felt the type of way when I left oh why are you going he hasn't been he wasn't here 16 years yeah I got all that but I know that's what I need and I know that's what you need to that's what we need is men just like how he wants to open up that door and ask for help this is you you opening up that door and you got it right there you can hop online and do you know man let me say this to you too like my son said you don't know what the decision is what your father was doing at the time cuz your mother and father don't work that don't mean y'all can't work she might feel a little some kind of way what you reaching out to him for because he your father and you feel empty without him that's why see sometimes when you grow up you need to hear both sides mmm see you got to hear both sides you gotta have this conversation Rafal we've had this conversation he had to understand what my decision that I made at 25 come on man come on 25 I got twins at 25 what I'm doing making decisions do you know man that my daughters his oldest sister's wedding at the father-daughter dance I chose Earth Wind & Fire's Oh be ever wonderful we danced a whole record and stood and cried for five minutes because I had spent my entire life trying to make up for the mistakes I had made as a young man but you got to understand you got to forgive your fathers because they're human too mmm they made mistakes they made big mistakes and some dudes don't know how to come back from the mistake but but know this though they life is in pain without you reach out and go hey man just me now look here look here this what you didn't raise but let me tell you who I am though let me introduce myself to you I'm a father now I got two kids my kids gonna know me they're gonna know me because I didn't know you but I love you and I forgive you what you did to me I just need you to tell me why you did it so I can hear your side of the story cuz we man now you won't answer you ain't look here I had to explain to him what happened this what happened man this is decision I made he told me one day he said you know I'm dad I get it now he said you ain't belong to us you belong to the world he said that's different my father belongs to the world he said you ain't just mine I wish she was but you ain't he said but you uncle Steve to a whole lot of people he said but I'm glad you got me now good feel hold on when we come back we're gonna hear from some women who have some questions that only these men can answer stay with us we'll be right back hey you made it to the end of this video I got a lot more that you're going to enjoy so just click to watch the next one and make sure you subscribe to always know what's happening
