Chris Brown Should Continue To See A Therapist For The Sake Of His Daughter


Chris Brown

Singer, Chris Brown, has announced his forthcoming album will be entitled "Royalty" which is the name of his 1-year-old daughter. Brown, who was previously jailed for probation violations stemming from the Rihanna case, resulting in a court order by a judge James Brandlin, compelling the star to submit to examination by a psychiatrist, rendered the official diagnosis that he is suffering from Bipolar disorder, among other psychiatric issues.

Brown should continue to see a therapist for the advancement of his mental health. Brown should also continue to actively undergo anger management. Being a parent is rewarding for many, but it requires patience and at times it is not easy, especially coupled with the problems he has in his life pertaining to his career. Both Brown and the mother of his child, Nia Guzman, should work towards complete sobriety in the area of drugs and alcohol, for the sake of their baby. People always make poor choices when they are high. Sobriety is best.

The Armed Break-In To Chris Brown's Home That Left His Aunt Traumatized Is Not Good For His Mental Health


News cameras caught images of Brown returning home and finding out his home had been burglarized with his aunt present

Chris Brown's new Tarzana, California mansion was broken into this week by armed robbers, who pointed a gun at his aunt and locked her in a closet. The thieves ransacked Brown's home, going through his property and stealing valuables. They violated his privacy in a manner that is harmful for someone who is bipolar, struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues.

This privacy violation that also victimized Brown's aunt, can create paranoia and mental breakdowns (he should see a therapist about it). Ironically, Brown's mother has publicly stated her son's so-called friends did this to him. His poor aunt must be very traumatized, as someone breaking and holding a gun on her was surreal and frightening. She could have had a heart attack.


Chris brown's new home

Brown is now tasked with cataloging all the items and cash that was stolen and filing an insurance claim. Insurance companies heavily scrutinize claims regarding burglaries where cash goes missing. That is one of the dangers of keeping too much cash on hand. It is difficult to prove exactly how much you had in your possession. Brown also has to produce photos and receipts for stolen possessions. Thankfully his 1-year-old daughter was not home at the time of the incident.

Floyd Mayweather’s Tumultuous Relationship With His Father The Source Of Much Of His Anger And Acts Of Violence Against Women (Video)

Warning video contains explicit language

Welterweight boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather, real name Floyd Joy Sinclair, is the highest paid athlete in the world. His recent bout with boxing star Manny Pacquiao earned May weather $250,000,000, adding to his preexisting $200,000,000 fortune. Mayweather came from an impoverished background in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mayweather was raised in crack houses by his dad, Floyd Mayweather Sr., who was a drug dealer. Mayweather Sr. was sent to prison for years, convicted of selling crack cocaine and missing out on many of his son’s formative years.

Since being launched into the spotlight, Mayweather has been the subject of claims of physical violence against women. Mayweather spent two-months in jail for punching and kicking, Josie Harris, the mother of three of his four children. Mayweather was also convicted of beating two of Harris’ friends at a night club. Melissa Brim, the mother of Mayweather’s eldest child, went to police on two occasions accusing him of punching her.


Floyd Mayweather

Many people grew up poor in the ghetto, but do not engage in acts of violence against women. When men engage in this behavior, there is a deeper source of the problem. Much of Mayweather’s anger problems stem from his tumultuous relationship with his father. Mayweather has a significant amount of anger and animosity towards his dad for his treatment of his mother and not being there for him. Mayweather has a closer relationship with his uncle Roger, whom he credits with helping him become a successful boxer.

Despite all Mayweather has achieved in the world of sports, he still has a great resentment for his dad, which is fueling his rage and acts of violence against women. He is following his father’s example. 

When a man involuntarily leaves or deliberately walks out on his family, it has a profound effect on everyone involved, especially the children. Male children from such household grow up with feelings of insecurity. Some children blame themselves. Other children blame the parent and the anger over time turns to rage. It is a terrible thing for a child to watch their parent leave. It damages them. It embitters them. 


Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather worked hard for his money. Here’s hoping choices he is making won’t cause him to lose it. Mayweather needs to stop engaging in acts of violence against women and people should forgive him. A good therapist can help Mayweather sort through his problems regarding his dad. It would make a difference in his life. There needs to be healing in that situation, as it has created issues in his life that has impacted his family in a negative way.


Another example of fathers’ abandonment creating issues with their sons is music producer Quincy Jones. He saw his father walk out on his black mother and marry a white woman, which began to negatively shape his views. There’s nothing wrong with interracial relationships, because when you love someone color does not matter. However, Jones developed a complex from what his father did and it poisoned his mind against women of his own race.

Jones refused to date black women, picking up wrong cues from his unfaithful dad that something was somehow wrong with being black and marrying a black woman. Jones then cheated on and left wife after wife, 3 women in a row, all of whom were white. His biographer attributes this to his dad’s damaging conduct in abandoning his mother. The problem is not with black women and the problem is not with white women. The problem is with Jones and what his dad’s conduct did to his psyche as a boy.

Athletes Who Face Depression After Sports And How To Conquer It (Ricky Hatton, Mike Tyson, Frank Bruno, Clarke Carlisle)


Ricky Hatton

Famous British boxer, Ricky Hatton, spoke out about the depression that gripped him and led to suicide bids after his career as a pugilist. Hatton, who suffered losses in the ring to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, took it to heart and became depressed. Hatton began using cocaine and tried to commit suicide.

British boxer, Frank Bruno also began using cocaine and tried to kill himself after his accomplished career suffered a few defeats and began to wind down. American boxing champ, Mike Tyson, also turned to cocaine and alcohol after problems in his personal life and career arose. Tyson was also suicidal. When drugs ravaged his body, it led to defeats in the ring.


Clarke Carlisle and wife Gemma after he tried to commit suicide

British football player, Clarke Carlisle threw himself in front of a lorry (truck) whilst struggling with depression, regarding what to do with his life, as his career as an athlete had come to a close. Carlisle was suffering from clinical depression, but like many, didn't recognize the signs.

On January 22, 2014 the Judiciary Report wrote about the negative effects of repeated blows to the head in boxing and what it can do to the brain (How To Reap The Benefits Of Boxing While Avoiding The Pitfalls). Blows to the head that are strong enough in impact can create depression, dementia, confusion and induce thoughts of suicide. Boxers and other athletes in contact sports that take blows to the head, including international footballers who do headers, must be monitored for the signs of depression. Long term medical treatment is needed.

There is an alarming trend of injured and retired boxers turning to cocaine to combat the depression and dementia they suffer from, when there are viable, healthy medical options that can effective treat the symptoms they are suffering from (The Negative Effects Of Drinking, Smoking And Drugs On Athletes). Cocaine is not the answer to your pain. Don't take your life. Privately seek medical treatment and the help of a good therapist. Medicine and talking things out with a professional can put things into proper perspective. Things are not as bad as they seem. You can recover.

Transitioning Into Second Phase Of Sporting Career

After one's career as an athlete is done, there are many things one can do. There is the option of starting a sports company, working for a sports team, becoming a trainer, television and or internet commentator. One can also look forward to raising and training one's children, fostering their interests in sports. Who knows. Your kids could become tomorrow's champions.

Take things in stride. When one aspect of your career concludes, another successful one can begin. Nothing is so bad that you need to take your life. Value your sobriety and fight for it. Remember, sports is not your life. You are your life. Build it in such a way that you can continue to use your talents for years to come and have those you love share it with you.

Ricky Hatton: Pain of defeats to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather led to my suicide bids

3:03PM GMT 17 Feb 2015 - In June, it will be a decade since the finest moment of Ricky Hatton’s career, the victory over Kostya Tszyu. Already hugely popular in this country, beating Tszyu made him a global star and led to a series of fights with the sport’s biggest names. Those fights, which culminated in defeats to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, made Hatton more than £25 million, but they almost cost him his life.

Until he was knocked out by Mayweather and Pacquiao, Hatton had never lost. The shame and guilt he felt at losing his unbeaten record, and the anxiety that his career was on a downward trajectory, led to a deep depression. It didn’t make any difference to Hatton that the two men he had lost to are among the greatest boxers of the modern era, a pair who will, in the coming days, confirm a meeting in the richest bout in the sport’s history.

Within four years of that glorious triumph over Tszyu, Hatton was at his lowest point: there were alcoholic binges, a tabloid cocaine expose, and, as had happened between fights during his career, his weight ballooned.

Hatton tried several times to kill himself. Finally, what saved him was boxing. His comeback in 2012 may have ended in a third defeat - to Vyacheslav Senchenko - but the discipline of preparing to return to the ring began a process of recovery which has continued in retirement.

Today, approaching his 37th birthday, Hatton has finally found some peace. He said: “I don’t have those dark thoughts any more, no. I am feeling older and, as you get older, you can look back at everything you’ve done in your life with a bit more pride. Depression is a serious thing and, after my defeat to Pacquiao, I was facing retirement and didn’t cope with it very well.”...
 

Clarke Clarlisle's wife: 'Nothing could prepare me for what I saw'

Clarke Clarlisle's wife has been speaking about the moment she first saw her husband in hospital after he tried to kill himself. The former Burnley captain stepped out in front of a lorry last December claiming he'd decided he 'wanted to die'. The 35 year old former England star told The Sun yesterday he thought he was better off dead after losing his TV pundit job, gambling away his money and battling depression. He said the final straw came on December 20th when he was charged with drink driving.

Miraculously, Clarke survived after stepping out in front of the 7 tonne truck in York just days before Christmas. His wife Gemma said doctors warned her to brace herself when she saw him for the first time.
"He had a big shard of glass sticking out of his eye. The smell was horrific. He was barely conscious. I don't think he wanted to be there. He didn't want to look at me or talk to me." Gemma also told the newspaper how life had been tough with the Clarke before his suicide attempt and she was contemplating a split after failing to get through to him.

"I was scared of him coming home. He was worse than that person I'd been living with. He was just not even there, he was a shell...it made me realise that if this is how it was going to be then I needed to be on my own." But there was a turning point according to Gemma, Clarke eventually said: 'I want to be here, I want to get well.' Clarke is now on the road to physical recovery suffering internal bleeding, cuts and bruises and a broken rib after the crash...

Chris Brown's Probation Work Days Extended By The Court

Chris Brown

R&B singer Chris Brown was in court today for a probation hearing, in connection with the Rihanna domestic violence case. Judge James Brandlin stated Brown is doing well, with his only recent offense being a "speeding ticket." Brown's probation is slated to end in January 2015 and to make that date, the judge has increased the singer's community service days from three to four per week to keep him on track.


In other news, Brown stated on Access Hollywood that he sees a therapist twice a week. This is helpful to his situation and hopefully will help him gain insight into his child hood and the abuse he experienced at the hands of his stepfather, who also beat his mother. Brown stated, "I talk to my therapist twice a week whether it’s good or bad… I think it’s good to have somebody that you can vent to. Somebody that understands situations and is not judgmental… as a young guy coming up in the industry at 15, you don’t really get that, you don’t get the crash course. You don’t get the course on how to grow up and how to learn from your mistakes and handle situations differently."
