20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: I call you daddy, but I'm not your child. Dear

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley, my husband and I have been together for

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: nine years and married for eight. One year after we met,

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I got pregnant with our first child, so we got

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: married right away. He's an excellent provider and great father,

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: but over the years he started treating me like I'm

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: his daughter. I was twenty two when we met, and

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: he's sixteen years older than I am. I have given

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: everything to this man, and he fails to see that

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: I am a grown woman now. When we first started dating,

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: he exposed me to a different lifestyle, and he loves

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: to say it's a better way of life. At a

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: young age, I had a house, I had access to

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: two cars, I had credit cards and designer purses. But

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: my friends eventually stopped hanging around me because I was

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: so different. I haven't worked in a long time, and

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I am longing to be normal and do some of

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: the things I enjoy doing. My activities are with him

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: and our two children, and if I'm not with them,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: I hang out with my mom. I have a group

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: of female cousins that invited me on a girl's trip

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: last month, but my husband did not think it was

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: such a good idea because of the pandemic. I agree.

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: I did agree with him, and I told him we

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: decided that we postponed the trip till next year. He

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: told me I was not going period. Okay. I gasped

46
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: and had to gather myself before I let him have it.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: He'd never seen me angry like that, and I snapped

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: and yelled to him that he is not my daddy,

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and I was going to start doing things I want

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: to do when I want to do them. His only

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: response was, not living in my house, you won't, I

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: heard him, loud and clear, and it broke my heart.

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I missed out on a lot by

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: being married so young. How can I get my husband

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: to understand this? Oh, he understands it quite well. He

56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: understands a whole lot. He knows you missed out in

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot. He married you when you were twenty two

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: and he was sixteen years older than you, so he knows.

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: He knows the game, he knows what's going on. But

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: what he didn't count on was you growing up and

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: coming into your own and becoming a woman and having

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: a voice and all of that. Obviously he didn't figure

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: into that, because what grown man would tell another grown person,

64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: not in my house, you won't. Yeah, you're you're right,

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: your dad would tell you that, or if your mom,

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: if you're living in their house. But no, not your husband.

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: He's not supposed to talk to you that way. You

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: should have reminded him. He wasn't your daddy when he

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: first started treating you like this. But you were getting

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: all the bags, and you were had the cars and

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: the nice home and all of that. And see, not

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: speaking up for yourself kind of cost you in this regard.

73
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: It made him think that it was okay that you

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: were going along with then. And it doesn't sound like

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: he cared much anyway, because he's controlling. This man is controlling,

76
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: and it's the worst kind of controlling too, thinking you know,

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: he can just keep you under under wraps or whatever

78
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: for that amount of time, you know, and you're never

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: supposed to spread your wings and be who you're supposed

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: to be in life. I think you know you need

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: to tell him that he's saying, not in his house,

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: it's your house too. I don't care if you have

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: never paid a bill, it's still your house. That's where

84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: you that's where you are as his wife, as the

85
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: mother of their children, all of that. Um, you know,

86
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: you gotta tell him to please stop treating you and

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: talking to you like you're a child. You gotta have

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: your say. You gotta let him know if he's not

89
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: willing to sit down and have an adult conversation with

90
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: you about seeing you as a grown woman who needs

91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: to spend time who you need to spend time with

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: your girlfriends and your your family and things like that.

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: You just can't stay up under him for the rest

94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: of your life. I think it's always to try to

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: go the professional route and get some sort of professional counseling,

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: professional marriage counseling. He doesn't seem like the type that

97
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: will go for that, though, So your marriage is in trouble.

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Your marriage is doomed if you don't do something like that,

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: get some professionals in there. You know, if he can't

100
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: do that, you might have to tell him by. It

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like you're ready for that, but you know

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: you might have to put your big girl pants on

103
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: and tell him by because this kind of control, it's

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: not gonna get any better, It's only gonna get worse. Jay,

127
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Morning Show to recap this Strawberry letter,

128
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: This crazy letter. Subject, I call you daddy, but I'm

129
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: not your child. A woman was twenty three when she

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: met her husband. They've been married for eight years. She's

131
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: known him for nine. He's sixteen years older than her.

132
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: She's a grown woman now, but he keeps treating her

133
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: like a child. You know. He bought her all the

134
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: designer stuff, the bags, the nice home, the nice cars.

135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: When she hangs out, it's just with him, the kids,

136
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: or with her mom when they're not around, her girlfriend,

137
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: her older cousins. Her girl cousins asked her to go

138
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: on a girl's trip with them, and because of COVID,

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: her husband said he didn't think it was a great idea.

140
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: So she said, I agreed with him, and we're going

141
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: to postpone the trip until next year. He said, you're

142
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: not going period, and she guessed yeah. Had to gather

143
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: herself and then she let him have it. He's never

144
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: seen her angry like that before, she said. She told

145
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: him she was going to start doing things when she

146
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: wanted and whenever she wanted, and his only response to

147
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: that was not living in my house. She won't, she said, right,

148
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: this is her husband, not her daddy. I can't say that.

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that. No, this is horrible.

150
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: He's a controlling man, very controlling. Yeah. So okay, junior, Uh,

151
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: what do you have to say to respond man? The

152
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: man is controlling and you know I'm thinking about this,

153
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, young lady. To be honest with you, this

154
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: is what I have the best advice I can get.

155
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Go get yo daddy. See see see that's what you need. Go.

156
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: He tells what you can't do all this, You can't

157
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: go to way do this and go get your daddy.

158
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Tell him to talk to your daddy like that. They

159
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: about the same maid. So I really think, really, it

Speaker 1: is I call you daddy, but I'm not your child.

167
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: This man treats his wife like a child, to her

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: like she's his daughter. What you got this to me
