Wow, Tyler, this is so sad and disturbing - your father was wrong on so many levels - what an abuser! Do you have any kind of relationship with him now? As far as you being a loser, boy was he ever wrong again! God has truly blessed you, and you are a wonderful human being - I'm glad you stayed strong and true to your heart. I guess I can safely assume your Madea character is part of your aunt who was going to shoot your father - now that's funny! Glad that jerk who molested you has burned in hell.

I am not shock but very proud of the fact that you are a strong african man who has dealt with some of the worst cases of life. If you have a therapist that should help give back the universe the pain that you feel. continue to rock on !
