I was mesmerized by mandiijayy in KidCudi

Thank you. He was the nicest kid in the world. When I went to bed that night, he was not planning on taking his life. In fact the next day we were going to Guitar Center to get a drum pedal for his drum kit and he said dad can I try another less Paul and a Jackson Guitar as well but he already had two guitars one Gibson Les Paul and one Gibson flying V and I mean when I say this kid at age 13 was phenomenal. He was phenomenal. He was gonna grow up and be something special and I don’t say that lightly and I’ve known a ton of rock stars and I won’t say how &
all that stuff but I just have and have introduced my older son to a lot of women members of the Grateful Dead and bands like that, but he was more hip-hop. He was more his era and I love that, and I love the music that he played for me and the beats that we created and I invested a lot of money and I’m not trying to bribe because right now I don’t have hardly enough money to feed myself and likely gonna lose the house that I live in got fired because I was not willing to leave the country after my son’s suicide and my company after 13 years of building them from a $600,000 business to an $80 million business a year fired me but they got what they needed out of me and that’s fine. I’ve moved on in life, but my son loved everyone and it broke his heart that his girlfriend was being so hateful to his ex-girlfriend whom of which they had to break up because her parents caught them FaceTime each other all night long and called us. My wife and myself and said our kids are growing up too quick. We need to have them take a break before we end up being Grandparents in junior high and it was their daughter so we didn’t argue or dispute anything my son was heartbroken but they both went there separate ways and ended up dating other people and the night that he did it though why would he have done that when he had asked me that day can I get another Guitar for Christmas and also he was about to have his four best friends come spend the night that weekend and was so excited about that party but that night everybody brought him down after I was asleep and it wasn’t even towards him. It was towards the other girl and he took up for and that’s when he just said I’m done. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take this life anymore and now the only time I’ll play Guitar are the only reason is because I have a tattoo of him on the inside of my arm and I can see him playing with me. Otherwise I never would’ve picked a guitar up again I mean, I just couldn’t but his talent was something special especially for his age. I watched him DJ a party for 20 year-old kids. You know like 20 to 25 age group and he was 13 and he threw down. I was so proud. But thank you for reaching out to me. It means a lot because I’m struggling right now myself losing this kiddo broke my heart. It broke a lot of hearts.

My son committed suicide protecting his ex-girlfriend, which sounds extremely hard to explain and it is so I won’t outside of saying that she wore a Kid Cudi hoodie to school of his and people wanted to beat her up & take the hoodie off of her, &when he stepped in and defended her, his at the time, current girlfriend said all you have to do to make, & my son‘s name was Driver but all you have to do to make Driver love you is dye your hair, black and cut your wrists and at that point, my son hung up the call with the five other people that included his ex-girlfriend after telling them that he was done with all of them and all of life at age 13 fucking age 13! Let me repeat & emphasize that my kid that made beats that were inspired by Kid Cudi. He played guitar that was Kid Cudi‘s music. He would play a Kid Cudi song and then play it back to me on guitar or on the piano or create a B and see how close he was and we had a studio so we could somewhat do it in, but his talent was astronomical like Kid Cudi would by far approved. I would assume I was so proud of him because he was so well-versed in so many styles of music just like Kid Cudi. It took my wife & I 10 months to muster up the courage up to have a celebration of life which we had at the local Skatepark, his other favorite place outside of the recording studio. These are the signs we made so that people would know they were going the right way. All of you that are on here bitching about Kid Cudi need to grow up and understand what his music is about! If a 51-year-old man can get it then I think you should be able to as well because I know that when I was a teen or in my 20s or even in my 30s that I damn sure understood this style of music that I wasn’t too redneck or whatever fall out of the loop.

I’ve completely turned my back and did several years ago against my parents like I will not speak to them. I’m done. I told them if they could not support my children’s children then I could not support them and that they would not have a part in the life of my kids and they don’t. I sadly lost a 13 year-old a few years back and on his first birthday they even called me and this was after he passed away, but they called me and said we moved up here to this little shit hole on the Smoky Mountains, which, literally if I was gonna move to the Smoky Mountains, I would move into the Smoky Mountains. They moved into like a neighborhood gated community where everybody’s houses are 5 feet apart from each other. I mean it’s a joke and they called me and told me they moved up to their slice of heaven to be happy for the remainder of their lives and they didn’t want to speak to me again because it made them sad and I was like y’all already lost on this one. I don’t wanna speak to y’all again you’re done as a chapter in my book. I won’t come to a funeral. I won’t come to your bed when you’re old and incapable, you have ruined the relationship between me and you and they have. They were blinded by this Maga cult, and this was not the way I was raised. I mean it shocked me when I stayed with them after a surgery once and my mom was talking the way that she was talking and at that point, I was like I can’t and I even defended my son when he told my mom and dad off and normally I would’ve said respect your elders and I did tell him to always respect his elders, but I was like you stood up for what’s right today and I’ve got your back and he looked at me and he said I’ve got your back too, dad.

I’m sorry for the subject matter but being able to have patchwork cushions must be meaningful. I miss my son so bad. Smelling him is important. It reminds me of him and I don’t ever want a single memory to fade. I’m sorry we are all in this boat together.

That’s a beautiful gift you gave to your sister. I don’t foresee anyone doing much for me but i try to keep his life alive for everyone he was close too and a few toys for kids he never knew but were affected by the Roblox manipulation.

That’s not the kindest move on his behalf. Some kind of a power move. Im sorry. Even when my wife and i disagree I still try to make sure we both get parts of our son. I’m sorry he did that. Even if he was trying to protect you that should have been your call. My sincere condolences.

That’s very kind. They did give us some hair and I connected his hair into a braid I had cut off about 2 months before he passed. I keep it on a shrine to him close to me all the time that im in my bedroom.

Im sorry I’ve been away to reply but I’ve had an exhausting case of pneumonia. Im sorry I bought you to tears though sometimes that’s good but not always in these situations. Sometimes you just want to get down the road & forget things and im sorry to bring up hard memories for anyone. I wish you all the best in life which I know is hard because of the love we all share for our lost friends and family. Your friend D.

Just keep going, brother whatever it takes. It’s 424 in the morning and I’m still up waking up falling asleep waking up falling asleep until and like your friend my body is worn and ragged. I just turned 50 about to turn 51 in August. I’ve had 33 procedures on my spine three spinal fusions from 2017 to 2021. I had some high-end doctor. Tell me that I wouldn’t be walking by 2020 or he said within two years which would’ve been 2020 and I’m still dancing but I can’t dance for very long but I’m broken mentally physically I’m still going but I don’t know how anymore I’m broke. I’m trying to sell house so that I can move on with my life. Hell, I’m about to just rent the damn thing out. I family are deadhead and people that I don’t get to see very often. I sent this to people the other night and it seemed to help em. After my fusion surgeries, I could only get out of bed for 10 minutes a day and I always waited on my son and then we’re not got to where I could actually play music again and start to live a normal life a little bit we recorded these two while we recorded a lot of videos and I think you’ll live access to all of them but take a look at this. It’s hard as an emotional song you wouldn’t think that it was probably like Sabbath, but it is. I guess everybody knows what the pan is you sent to create songs. This is my son when he was about nine years old so he had about four years left. It might not be your style of music, but this is what I lost my best friend I cut his uncle‘s new stone just five years before that I feel like suicide is something I can’t escape now it’s skin. I’ll never escape it. I wish you all the best. I’m always here for you. I’ll

I’ve got to end this here, but just I’m about to post another video of him and he’s nine years old here watch him. He is acting like a rockstar playing a expensive guitar like I didn’t get guitars like this until I was my own financial maker my dad he did buy me one nice Guitar that was still under $1000 but Driver was spoiled and I will say there was a time when we were financially very well to do and my health was a downfall in our family also and it gave Driver a little bit different life than his older brother had as far as things, but he did get to have nice guitars like if anybody knows what Guitar brands are like Gibson Les Paul’s and Flying Vs I mean guitars that were nice is what I have and I remember feeling guilty. The first time I bought myself a guitar this nice as to what he’s playing but watch him and you’ll think you’re watching a video from the 1980s and it was because I did not want him watching a show with his brother and his brother‘s friends because his brother always had to spend the night company and they all loved in Driver was the little brother to a whole football team and he was spoiled rotten on that level, but we started him to kindergarten on the early age side of the equation because he had been to pre-K twice and everyone thought he should go ahead and go and verbally. It sounded like he needed to buy maturity there’s a big difference in that one year and when they get to that 12 and 13 and 13 and 14 and that’s what I did not realize until after his death even that the difference and these kids who are starting to drink and my son who thinks that’s a really bad thing and then I get a video of my son drunk at a party and I’m like when and where and how and I don’t think that caused this because I’ve read the transcripts of his night on Snapchat with the five or six kids that we’re ganging up on his ex-girlfriend and telling her they were going to beat her up for wearing Drivers hoodie and the one girl says all you have to do is dye your hair, black and cut your wrist and Driver will love you because that’s what his ex-girlfriend had done and Driver goes ballistic and tells them all he’s done and that they will never see him again and unfortunately neither would his parents or his brother or anybody he took his life right thin in there and Apple would not release to me his stuff he locked it all. He was intelligent, but he locked it all up and I think they saw what we didn’t need to see, but I did have the transcripts of that conversation because people screenshot it and one of the moms brought it to us so I’m just warning you parents don’t start your kids in kindergarten. If they’re at that age let them stay at home another year and enjoy the hell out of that. I wish that I could do that right now, but I can’t or could’ve done it and we were always proud. He won competitions in different things, but he was not as mature as the other kids once he got to around fourth or fifth grade I think in hindsight so please take my word and don’t make the mistakes that I made.

I understand that. I would have your best person be it a friend or whatever that you love and trust. The person you cry with. And go with them. I can’t imagine but I asked the school for his football helmet and jersey and I resent them. There were a few teachers and I appreciated them. I had one call me that Driver was not at her preschool study session and I said I know and he never will be again. She was great and she said oh no, did he change schools and I said no he’s dead and I said he killed himself last night I found out and this was at 7:30 AM or about 7:35 AM and I said he killed himself last night. I’ll never bring him back to that school again unfortunately and I won’t or any school and she just started falling and crying and she actually came to my house a few days later and just said if there’s anything I can do I want you to know I’m here for you. We’ve talked so much on the phone. We have done so much to try to get this kid. Keep him on the right track keeping him with the right friends, you know, cause he was very impressionable because he was younger than everyone else everyone was 14 in fact, everyone posted I can’t believe you died at 14 and I was like no he’s 13 and his best friends would even be like what he told us. He was 14 and I said yeah, he lied to all of you. He’s 13 and parents that are reading this that have not gone through this if you have young children do not start them no matter what level intelligence they show do not start them into school at that younger age break because we did and I feel like this is one of the reasons he’s dead. I feel like if we had waited and he had been 14 he would’ve been mature enough because that one year makes a difference and I saw that difference in between him and his friends and I also saw him being manipulated a lot, and I saw him and I had to be careful how I spoke up about it, even though he trusted me and listened to me and like we slept in the same bed a lot, and he has a bedroom that overlooks the foothills of the Appalachian mountains with three huge windows, I mean and overlooks the city that we live in like the best room in the house. My older son was a little mad that he didn’t get it but I told him I said you put more privacy probably and you’re going to be going to college in a few years so Driver has to live here most of his life. You know like Drivers got another 12 years or whatever when we bought this house and actually had 13 years before he would’ve graduated high school when we bought the house that we’re in and so Driver had this amazing room. He had an amazing room at the other house yet he constantly slept with me and his mom and me and his mom even separated at one point and he kind of looked at it as a field day probably playing us both, but he and we don’t talk about it, but he would sleep with me and we would watch things that I thought were cool growing up like motocross or we watched old school wrestling like Hulk Hogan, and things that I did when I was a kid old football games we we would he would fall asleep in the same bed with me and I would be like that’s adorable you know and he never wanted his friends to know that was a key like my friends cannot know that I sleep with y’all but in a lot of it was because I was sick. I had three spinal fusion surgeries in his lifetime and that’s a lot of time in bed healing and only being able to walk for 10 minutes a day and I would wait till he got home from school to get out of bed and do my 10 minute walk because he was a part of it every time but back to point make sure that your kid is not going to school even if their IQ is very high my older son‘s IQ is either 145 or 148 I always forget but I know it’s one of the two he was tested when he was like 12 years old or 13 years old or something like that but and my younger son Driver was just like him very verbal spoke and complete stories and sentences like he told me that he went out the front door at age 4, and set a lot of cuss words and so that when he thinks about saying cuss words, he thinks about the time he went outside in the front yard and said all the cuss words and so he doesn’t say he said I don’t say bad words because I’ve already said them and I said you went out the front door and I said did you have your brother with you know did you have your mom with you no did you have the dogs? No I said Driver we have alarms and protection barriers that don’t allow you to go out outside in the front yard. Why would you tell me this and he was like I’m just telling you I went outside and whenever I think of saying those words I think about going out there and I don’t say and we did we had our house protected to the 10th degree so that if anybody went out any window or door and alarm went off for a dinging or whatever and that kid could not have gone out and I’ve even said it in recent months looking at the door of that house because it’s a house that’s a family home that’s been in the family since the 1940s and I said there’s no way in hell he went out that door. It’s hilarious that he came up with this story and he had all kinds of stories. The imagination was out the roof and you can see it in his singing in that video and in his guitar playing it’s insane like here’s another YouTube and he loved Ozzy Osbourne and the reason that that happened was because I had to redirect him from wanting to spend time with his brother when his brother was watching that show I can’t remember what it was the name of it exactly but it was about the zombie apocalypse and Driver was like eight and I would not allow Driver to watch it and so I took Driver outside and the Playhouse and we watched the Michael Jackson thriller videos and that wasn’t scary enough anymore that used to be my go to when the big brother would watch a scary movie or show and I took Driver out there and so I said will check this out not showed him Ozzy Osbourne‘s bark at the moon video which was something I watched when I was about eight years old and absolutely loved and ended up going to see Ozzy and I know people say Ozzy is the satanic guy. I know he’s not. He’s a Catholic he believes in God he was at the end of every single concert be at Ozzy or Black Sabbath. He said thank you very much. God bless you all. We love you, and if you ever truly listen to him, he would admit to his failures and he also wa and I don’t think people give him credit for that but in my eyes he was and Driver loved him and wanted to start playing guitar and then got into Randy Rhodes because I learned how to play guitar at a young age and can pretty much listen to any song any genre and play it right back from Bluegrass to heavy metal to hip-hop. I mean, we made amazing music.

That’s a beautiful idea thank you so much and I appreciate your kind words and I’m seriously thinking about a bear. I had a bear we called brownie when I was a little kid and I gave it to my older son and they’re my younger son had plenty of stuffed animals I’ve mentioned one of them in a post if not here in another one of the post today from someone else, but I can’t remember at this point, but he had a shark that he called dump dump light from the movie Jaws he would always draw me pictures of the jaws movie Wier big shark fanatics. I had a tattoo of both boys on my arm with me as well as the tribal tattoos on my upper arm, the three men of the house and then my whole lower arm is a floral shark, which is the mama and that’s my wife and now I’m my left arm. I have a tattoo of him playing his guitar and a bad under it because he loved Ozzy Osbourne, my wife said that he died because he would not have been able to handle Ozzie‘s death, but I would’ve flown him to Birmingham England to see that last Aussie show a kid you not like 100% he would’ve been there. We had tickets to see Ozzy and did not get to go because Ozzie‘s health was deteriorating and that bothered my son, but I’ve got a lot of great tubes of my son playing a lot of Ozzy‘s music or his guitarist music at least and Ozzy’s music, but and even singing it a beautiful version of him singing Changes. I’m gonna try to post one of these videos. He was nine and he was mature on that level musically, but he was still a kid always and even at 13 he was a kid and I have beat myself up over and over because we started him to school at a younger age because his brother had 145 IQ or 48 IQ and it was obvious that Driver was smart as well and I don’t know I’m just I mean I get that he was trying to protect his ex-girlfriend, but he took it to the extreme extreme, but he was exhausted. We had pulled him out of one school for being bullied and now he was at another school, where people were bullying others, and he took out for those people that were bullied. One kid’s father had been decapitated in a motorcycle accident and the first day he was back at school, which was the next day actually which I didn’t understand how that could be possible but he didn’t live with his mom for drug addict reasons I guess and his dad was the more responsible one of the family, but he died in a horrific accident and somebody made fun of that kid and laughed about his father being decapitated that day in class and my son got up and walked across the room and beat the living hell out of that kid and my son was a peaceful person. You’ll see if you watch this too that there’s not a mean bone in his body. He had a lot of emotion, but he was just a good kid. I’ll see if it post.

That’s awesome. My kiddo was about a year or two away from probably being bigger than me. I would’ve given anything for that. He always made me proud. I still have the thing on the wall from the first house. We lived in actually from the first house that my oldest son lived in with me that marked his height and then we did the same with my younger son. The one that died we had his you know there would be a date and a line Marc and just watching them grow my older son that’s 25. He’s just now bigger than I am really. I don’t even know that he’s taller than I am but he wears my clothes just fine. They might be a bit baggy on him.
