Should get Cobra's eviction on the happenings page
Makes complete sense, i've changed my mind. Sometimes I forget Josh isn't as big as I think he is.It was flagged in the Community Driven Happening Thread, but I don't think it's a big enough thing for the whole site to read about it. Probably a bit too much background knowledge of Josh is required to find it interesting -- otherwise it's just saying that some lolcow was evicted without even sperging out to a degree that is worth a new follower seeing. Maybe if he goes off the rails and becomes a wandering hobo that might be funny to someone who doesn't follow Josh, but I think that would only happen after it got to the point that Clint didn't want anything to do with him.
I wouldn't, just because I know it would be a huge false boost to his ego to be recognized. "I'm finally becoming famous!! one step closer to getting my dream house"He is the only lolcow that if I saw in public, I'd actually talk to him for a bit
In other Cobraverse news, Warlord is having a third child, a son. I thought he was into dicks?

Clint: "Yes, and you did this specifically after they told you (unintelligible) month (unintelligible) told you've destroyed the place."
(Unintelligible.)Clint: "(Unintelligible) And you know, every single month they are getting noise complaints."
Josh: "Oh my fucking god, dude!"
Clint: "(Unintelligible) the carpet (Unintelligible.)"
“wow, I just read all of this. Wished I wouldn't have, but alas.
I won't spend time trying to address every judgement, because I don't feel the need to go there. It is very easy to sit back and watch and think you know a situation. It's an entirely different ball game to live it.
I have started to type multiple responses to the assumptions directed at my parenting. Every time I start, I end up typing for 15 minute and I'm barely scratching the surface. The truth is, I would be typing for hours if I tried to respond to it all.
To summarize, you simply have no idea what it's like to raise someone with mental illness unless you have done it. Do you know what it's like to teach someone who can't/won't learn? Do you know what it's like to spend every minute of every day in a state of constant conflict? Every minute of every day is a battle. Everything you say is challenged or causes a blow up. Everything you THINK you know about parenting is thrown out the window because NOTHING, NOTHING fucking works. Every single type of discipline, reward, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, NOTHING changes the behavior. Sometimes, you have a break through, sometimes something has a desired effect and you have hope. Then the next day it's all gone again. You're back to square one.
Daily lectures on hygiene, temper control, picking up cigarettes off the street and smoking them. He does this even when he has cigarettes by the way. I tried buying him cigarettes for a while so that he would stop, and he still did it.
Am I a perfect parent? NO. Not even close. Have I made mistakes with Josh? Absolutely. Do I wish I would have done some things different? Definitely. However, he is an adult. I can try to help him all I want, if he refuses to accept it, then there is nothing I can do.
Whoever said that I do just enough to make myself feel good. I'd be lying if I didn't say there was some truth to that. When he moved out, there was a large part of me that felt a HUGE sense of relief. "He's an adult, he's moved out, he's on his own, I don't have to deal with this anymore." No more spending 16 hours a day in survival mode. No more spending 16 hours a day walking on eggshells, trying to figure out what to say, how to say, how to teach, how to parent. He's an adult, society will deal with him now and I don't have to.
With those feelings come the even stronger feelings of guilt. This is my son, he will always be my responsibility, I can't abandon him. I know he won't make it. And, you can't even imagine the guilt of having a child with Mental Illness. The thought in this country that, if there is something wrong with the child, then they have bad parents. And how many times my wife and I have blamed ourselves and scolded ourselves and just hated ourselves.
Now he's and adult, and when I try to get more involved in his life, he blocks me from his life. Try to get him to brush his teeth, get blocked. Try to get him to take a shower, get blocked. Lecture him about health risks of picking up cigarettes and smoking them, get blocked. Try to get him to a counselor, get blocked. Try to get him on meds, get blocked. Talk to him about cleaning his apartment, get blocked. Do any parenting what-so-ever, get blocked. The more I try to help, the more I get pushed away.
Ugh! You could never possibly understand unless you've lived it.
However, this is NOT about me. I did not come here to get attention. I did not come here to try and justify myself, or my parenting. I did not come here because I want anyone feeling sorry for me or Josh. I am not looking for sympathy. I came here because someone said that this site was dedicated to harassing Josh and they were going to shut down his wands if they could. So, as RITETOWRITE pointed out, I came in here attacking. It didn't take me long to realize that RITETOWRITE was correct, it was the people in here who bought his wands, and you weren't trying to stop the wands, you were supporting them. I was mistaken.
Every year for 25 years I think, "ok, this is the year. Josh is going to grow out of it." I live on this hope. When he finally decided to start doing the wands, I thought "YES" this is it. It's going to work. He will do something productive and positive and evolve. He will gain self respect and begin to care about his life. So, I got a bit worked up when someone said this group would sabotage it.
Please do not send me messages of sympathy, or tell me I'm a great dad or anything like that. It's NOT about that, and that's NOT why I'm here. When you have a child like Josh, you get judged everyday from everyone who you interact with including family and friends. And, please don't take this wrong, but I sincerely don't care if anyone on the internet thinks I'm a bad parent. They have not lived my life and have no idea. And, I'm NOT a great dad NOR am I a bad parent. I'm just a dad. Just like every other parent. I try to do my best, sometimes I succeed sometimes I fail. It's just life. We all have our own circumstances, our own successes and failures and triumphs and hardships, positives and negatives and we all simply do the best we can with what we are given. That's all any of us can do. Me, Josh, you, we just do our best and try to get through this thing called life. And yes, MrRoxo is correct. Sometimes I do just enough to feel like I'm doing something even though I know I should do more. I'm only human.
Unfortunately, I can't be Josh's nanny. I can't get him up everyday at 8:00, make him take a shower, brush his teeth, put on clean clothes, eat a healthy breakfast, take his meds, etc. etc. He's an adult and lives on his own. That all ended the day he moved out.
AND PLEASE stop with the Mlord bullshit. I see people complaining about his narcissistic behaviors. I wonder where he developed the idea that people worship him???????
As to the dog collar, who cares?? I hate it, I think it looks ridiculous, and when this trend started I fought with him on it daily, but it doesn't effect me in one bit. Who cares if he wears a dog collar? The only person it has an effect on his him.
As to the person commenting on his shitty guitar playing, fuck you! I will always encourage it, I don't care how bad it is. It's healthy and productive and an outlet for his depression and anxiety. I wish he would play more.
Shit! I wasn't planning on writing a book. I wanted to keep this brief, but alas, there you have it.”
“You are correct, there is a huge difference between "harassing" and critiquing and reacting to his videos as you mentioned. I have already addressed this in other posts and apologized for coming in here and attacking without first researching. I won't go into all of that again, you can read the other posts if you wish.
Believe me, I'm aware of how off centered his videos are and how disgusting he can be. I also can't help but shake my head and laugh when he doesn't understand why women aren't attracted to him.
As to me preventing that trainwreck, oh boy! If any of you only knew. Josh's hygiene issues started when he was in Jr. high, and was literally a battle every day of his life to get him to brush his teeth, take a shower and put on clean clothes. He was late for school more than once because of the huge blow up battle that ensued after sending him back to his room to put clean clothes on or brush his teeth. The day he moved out of the house he was so excited because no one could make him do that anymore.
Believe it or not, he's actually gotten better. The first three years in his apartment, I would to have to go in an clean it at least once a year and it took a solid 18 hours to clean that small space. Then I would take ALL of his laundry to a laundry mat and spend 6 hours washing it. I would have to run it through two or three times and fight with him to surrender the clothes he was wearing to be washed.
For a long time I would still send him a text or something frequently to remind him to brush his teeth and take a shower. When he was coming over for family get togethers I would insist that he be clean and smell descent and would send him back into his apartment to change. You've all watched Josh's videos, you know who he is. Can you imagine the blow ups that happened over this issue.
On the bright side, he's actually gotten a lot better. I haven't had to clean his apartment for over two years now. Is it spotless, NO, but it isn't so disgusting that I feel the need to clean it or that he will get evicted. He's also started doing laundry a LOT more than he used to. It used to be so bad, that when I took him to the store I had to drive with the windows down because I couldn't breathe, and my vehicle still smelled two days later. I haven't had to have him change clothes or drive with the windows down for over a year now. As to wearing the same shirt in his videos all the time, I can see him changing into his favorite shirt just for the videos because that is the way he is with clothes.
Part of his aspergers is sensory disorders and he will only wear certain types of clothes and of course his obsession with all things black and green limit what he will wear also. Like I said, on the bright side, he has gotten 1000 times better at doing laundry.
As to your comments about his attitude towards women. For that I apologize. I promise you he wasn't raised that way. In fact, we have a household, including myself, of feminists. (I'm certain many people here will have a fun time with that one haha) This started when Josh had his first crush in grade school, and was tormented by classmates for it. And, of course, his crush was the prettiest girl in school, so that didn't help. He was surrounded by literally 20-30 kids on the playground the day he let it slip that he liked this girl. They hazed the hell out of him through the entire recess. Then proceeded to send him "love letters" pretending they were from her for the remainder of the year.
People continued to do things like this to him for years. Sending him fake love letters, etc. Josh was, as you can imagine, terrible at communicating with girls, so whenever he did like a girl, he would try to approach her and was often brutally and publicly rejected. And then came that Fucking video game, I can't remember the name of it, but he wanted to play it soooo bad and I watched him play it one day and the character in the video game treated women like shit and used them for sex. I LOST it, and those video games were never allowed in my house again and we had a million talks about the subject.
Unfortunately, Josh is still mentally around 11 or 12. As such, he feels a need to brag about his conquests and forgets that half of his audience if female. He also feels that bragging about these conquests make him cool and adored by his fans. I'm not excusing the behavior, and trust me, when I see it, I talk to him about it. I literally talked to him AGAIN last week about treating women with respect and not as objects.
Another bright side, is that he actually does treat women nice in real life. To my knowledge, and in my presence, he has always been very nice and respectful to the few girlfriends I've seen him with.
Josh does not handle being teased well and cannot distinguish between friendly and mean teasing. And, his was traumatized by the way people hazed him over girls everyday for several years. Therefore, when he gets rejected by women, which is often, he goes to youTube and rants, and once he gets started on a rant, he just escalates. When I can catch him starting a rant, I can usually defuse it. Not always, but usually. But, during these rants, he feels the need to say the most shocking and horrible things he can to try to make his point that someone wronged him. Another topic of daily conversation for us.”
I reckon Clint visited once a year to help Josh clean so he wouldn't get evicted and have to come live at home again.Josh quit his dishwashing job to sell painted sticks and his dad supported that? Spray painting his "wands" indoors is what got him evicted lol
I don't want to sound like an ass but it sounds like Josh never learned better because his dad was too soft when he was younger. You can't use logic and reason with a retarded kid eventually hes gotta get the rod. And visiting your adult son's apartment to clean it for him and do his laundry? Come on. Clint had good intentions but he is an enabler.
I reckon Clint visited once a year to help Josh clean so he wouldn't get evicted and have to come live at home again.
And if Clint had resorted to corporal punishment I have a feeling Josh would have rebelled even more; possibly leading to a stay in juvie, which generally leads to a later jail or prison term. And Josh may be a lot of things, but a convict isn't one of them. Don't get me wrong, I think he could actually survive just fine while incarcerated (he's certainly got the palate for it) but it wouldn't lead to anything positive. Nobody wants to see him in and out of prison for the rest of his life.
And I know it's optimistic of me to think that this eviction saga may lead to improved actions and behavior on Kobes part, but the transcript of the eviction phone call seems to indicate that he has some awareness of what he did wrong, why he did those things, and what he can do better next time.
Shower me in rainbows! (Or trash cans, whatever.)
