the convo went soour because of X. he's not the victim. stop allowing our favorite rapper to play the victim role. we all love X cause he's a real dude. and we love to see a real dude get up and get right. but my man X LOVES his pain and isnt willing to admit it. so he plays the victim role.
remember when the show started. this fool X wanted to talk about how he cant stay faithful to one women. the moment iyanla asked about the issue. he then said, "well i can control it"
well if thats the case X, why are we even here?
he does not want to be called out on playing around the real issues in his life. its time for X to grow up. you aint that little boy anymore. time to stop crying about moms and how she did you. time to stop crying about grandma aint here anymore(how long has that been?) its time to GROW UP and move on.
you see how his son just did it?. he grew up during this entire situation. he first thought he needed X to apologize in order to be ok. but once iyanla explained to him that his pops was a sick man and the man you see is not X its a high version of X. and that he was a broken man. his son saw his pops as a real person not just the mean daddy he has known all of his life. he saw his pops as a person with real issues. But at the same token he was good in his spirit with the fact that X may not give him that apology. sure X finally caved and gave it to him. and that was great and all. but the kid was cool either way. he was ready to move on once he understood what was going on with his pops.
Does X realllly want to understand what was going on with his moms? NOPE. he's just mad at her for how she treated him. he doesnt care to know. even though it still haunts him to this very day. his son is further along in life then X is and X is older, much older. its time for our BOY X to grow up.
dmx apologized to his son, said he was wrong, and said he tried his best. how was he playing the victim? bringing up his past so his son could get a understanding of where he came from (knew no nikkas with a father) and so fourth isnt playing a victim. they was having a conversation.
his son did need the apology. once he got it, he broke down crying and said "That's all i wanted" and they made up. he was NOT good either way, he was just saying that. you can see how much that apology meant to him. again, i feel like we watching two different videos
x does need to grow up, but that doesnt take away from the fact that a lot of what homie is saying is coming from his mother. let not forget his mother was getting high during his life just like his father was. They pretty much trying to make him the complete scapegoat when as they talked about in the interview, dmx never spazzed out on his son, never brought drugs around his son, and did a pretty decent job raising him for da first 14 years of his life.
HOMie just grew up in a loud and unstable household, so have a lot of kids, it happens. atleast there was no physical violence
putting a condition on their relationship is pretty bold since x pretty much raised da boy HIGH and did a decent job at it during da early years. if he worded it different on some " i wanna relationship with you and i want to support you with your problems and etc" im sure x woulda said cool. but to say "i'm only talking to you if you do this" just seemed kinda bold
That lady kept feeding him lines, pops or no pops, homie need to learn how to speak for himself.
Do you smoke crack too? X admitted to being a bad dad. During his whole fake breakdown where he was crying dry tears, he kept saying "I know I wasn't a good father, but I tried" over and over. I really don't know what you're in here talking about. I don't think that his mom has to be in his ear, he was there to see things for himself. Yes the show was exploitative and the lady was being somewhat manipulative, but none of that absolves X of any responsibility. He's obviously hasnt been a good father in the past to his son and he's still not. He basically chose being a crack head over trying to reconnect and rebuild a relationship with his son. That's fukked up regardless of how you spin it. I couldn't imagine doing that to any of mine.
at when X goes "I guess I'll see you at my funeral then" & the therapist is nodding in agreement with the 
face
ish
