This should be called- Help My Dad is Blackie Dammet
-
Pretty sure this guy admitted to at least 3 felonies here.
-
His beautiful mom is an old family friend and she is most definitely the reason Anthony has the strength he has.
-
“We were the perfect couple and very much in love with each other” is an interesting way to describe your relationship with your son.
-
"Well look how he turned out"... Anthony is successful in spite of, not because of his childhood. For every Anthony there are thousands of tombstones out there. Kids who never made it to 30.
-
This guy has been emotionally destroyed by his own father and he thought he would be a good dad if he did the opposite to Anthony. It happens in many families in different ways. It is sad.
-
Anthony is very fortunate to have made anything of himself, let alone become the huge success he has. Because it's probably a one in a million shot having a childhood like his.
-
The way his father is reluctant to accept any responsibility for his son's addictions after introducing his son to drugs at such a young age. Mind boggling.
-
I was raised the same way. I ate acid with my dad when I was 15. By the time I was 20 I was a very strung out junkie. My sister said my dad called her around 1999 and said “Prepare yourself for that phone call” of someone telling her I was dead. He has apologized a few times. I’ve been in recovery for 15 years, been married 16 and have 3 beautiful daughters. God is graceful.
-
You have a lifetime to be an adult, but you only get to be a kid once. When parents treat their kids like grow-ups, they cheat them out of a unique experience that can never be recovered.
-
"What would have been wrong is to let him grow up in the midwest and work as an insurance salesman" as someone working in insurance, this cuts deep 😂
-
"Whatever he had against me before..." No remorse at all. He's like "Yeah. I let my minor son get fucked up and sleep with hookers. So what? He's rich and famous now. I helped him achieve that. Now, give me my fifteen minutes of fame. You owe me." This dude is everything wrong with "Hollywood".
-
As far as I can tell, Anthony survived his childhood because of good luck as much as anything
-
boundaries are real. boundaries are good. Boundaries are necessary.
-
Grew up in East Grand Rapids and remember Anthony in elementary school
-
there's something weird about a father and son living vicariously, mutually, through each other
-
"I wanted to be a good dad." (exposes young child to drugs, alcohol and prostitutes)
-
“I let him a little bit of acid” 😂 father of the year over here 😂😂😂
-
This dude did the best he knew how, just wasn’t the way to raise a kid. Now if you’re raising a rockstar, I’d argue he did everything right. Anthony is one of the most spiritual artists to ever exist, and one of the most unique humans this world has ever seen. Could he have been the same with different experiences? I don’t think so personally because I think our experiences have a great deal to do with how we perceive the world around us

The book "scar tissue" explains it all. Its a great book, a must for fans
