1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,720 Speaker 1: This is John. 2 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 2: This is your og okay Storytime podcast hosts, and we 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 2: have some rockin stories for you coming up. But before 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: you rock out with your socks out, I got a 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: quick tum in an ad break from a sponsors keeping 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: the show rocking and rolling. 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 3: I changed my whole life for him, and now we're done. 8 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 3: It's over. I twenty five female, moved from X state 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 3: to Y state, let's say California to Tennessee because my boyfriend, 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: twenty four male, got a position here. Unfortunately, there were 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 3: zero job openings in my field, so I took a 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 3: job as a nanny instead. I have been with my 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 3: boyfriend nearly two years. When I got here, I promised 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: the bosses forties female and male aka the parents, that 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 3: I would be able to be their nanny for a year, 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: But after the year, I wasn't sure. By the way, 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: this comes from leaving for Florida. And if you want 18 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 3: to submit your own stories, go to the r slash 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: Okay Storytime Separate it. I'm Sophia, I'm Riley, and I'm 20 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: key On, and we're here to give good advice goofily, 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 3: but we don't have all the answers. We only know 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: what we do, so let us know what you'd do 23 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 3: in the comments. 24 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 4: But Op says first and foremost, I like how Op's 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: name puts the state, and yeah. 26 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: Well that's presumably that's where they want to go. 27 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Oh got it? 28 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 3: Not where they are? 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's z state. 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. I have only been with them for five months. Unfortunately, 31 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent going to leave my boyfriend 32 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 3: and I do not want to stay in this. 33 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: Location Tennessee's okay. 34 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: My relative said I could stay with her until I 35 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: find a job or housing, and I already have found 36 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: and applied to ten plus jobs in my field in 37 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: her area. Here's my dilemma. I already know I'm going 38 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 3: to leave. I know I want to give my bosses 39 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: a month notice.

But basically, he won't let me break up 42 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: with him, so I'm just gonna leave while he's at work. 43 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Oh okay. 44 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like a safe situation. Honestly, the only 45 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: thing that has kept me here the last few months 46 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: is this job. I have fallen in love with the 47 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: kids and enjoy it. Unfortunately, I hate everything else in 48 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: my cannot afford me an apartment on my own, and 49 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: really I want to pursue an actual career. I just 50 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: feel so bad about telling them i'd be with them 51 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: a year and then around halfway through say I have 52 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: to leave. I have become somewhat friends with the parents 53 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: and have even gone out with the mom for a 54 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: social event about a month ago. I need help with 55 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: the wording right now. I just feel like I'm ultimately 56 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: letting them down and pulling the rug from under them. 57 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: Both parents work full time and they have four kids, 58 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 3: some of which have autism, ADHD and MS, so definitely 59 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: some special needs there. Please can someone help me in 60 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: some way, as in I plan to take the mom 61 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: aside tomorrow off to work. How can I phrase it? 62 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 3: What should I say? 63 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 64 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: I feel scared and embarrassed and guilty and there are 65 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: some comments, But what do you think OP should do? 66 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: The truth? Yeah, this person has created relationship with you 67 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: outside of the confounds of you working for her m HM, 68 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: and she'll understand. She'll probably work with you on getting 69 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: out of the situation you're in. 70 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: Quicker too, You guys said that, you know you said 71 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: that you guys were friends. I feel like, just be 72 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: as honest as you can say you know, I didn't. 73 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: I never intended to leave early kind of circumstances have changed, though. 74 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: I will help you find a like a replacement. All that. 75 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: And if you can't get out and they're like, no, 76 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: we won't let you leave, you got to leave for yourself. 77 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: Was there a contract you signed? Can you get out 78 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: of it? 79 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: Comment one. I think being as honest as possible is 80 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: the best way you can go. Just tell the mom 81 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: how you feel that you're sorry and so worried to disappoint, 82 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: but it turns out you're in a bad situation with 83 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: yoursso and we'll be moving home or wherever. A month's 84 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: notice is very generous if you are in any way 85 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: in an unsafe situation with yours, oh, and need to 86 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: go sooner than do it. You're saying he won't let 87 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: you break up with him sounds like a red flag. 88 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: Your safety and well being our paramount. As a mother 89 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: who has had nanni's and babysitters, move on to do 90 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: bigger and better things. I was always sad but very 91 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: gracious when things like this happened. Good luck and please 92 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: take care of your well being above all else. Oh, 93 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: he says he isn't physically harmful. I will say that otherwise. 94 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: He's very manipulative and perhaps harmful in other ways. But 95 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: if I ignore him and spend my free time in 96 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: the bedroom, he'll ignore me right back, which is how 97 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: my life has been for a while. I have to 98 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: force him to spend any time with me, and whenever 99 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: I try to talk to him about something, it turns 100 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: into an argument. 101 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: Dude, why are there so many guys? She's useless? Yeah, 102 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: what happened? What happened to America? Yeah? 103 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 4: What's that one bald guy's name? 104 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: It's Steve Harvey. 105 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: No, and is it Andrew Tate? 106 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 107 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: Andrew Tate said, the. 108 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Guy that's bald in your mind? 109 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 5: Is that? 110 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Is beautiful? 111 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: Anyway, Thank you very much for the advice. It helps 112 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: me to hear from someone who has had nanny's in 113 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 3: the past. I think she would appreciate me being fully honest. 114 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: She's a very empathetic and genuine person and I like 115 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: her a lot, which is pretty much why it's hard 116 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: to leave. But I'll try to keep in mind that 117 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: she will understand and reply. Says side note, welcome back. 118 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: To Florida. Remember that you come first in all this. 119 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: When you're ready to leave, give the mom notice, just 120 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 3: sit her down and tell her what you told us. 121 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: It's very reasonable. Opie says, thanks. I love how I 122 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: tried to keep vague about the locations in the post, 123 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: but gave myself away with my username. Oops. Comment two says, 124 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: as a parent who had a nanny, is there some 125 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: way you can find a substitute nanny for them? Which 126 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: is yeah what I was saying. That would make a 127 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: world of difference. When our nanny left us on two 128 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: weeks notice, it was a real scramble to find alternative childcare. 129 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: If you can find a replacement and maybe even do 130 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: a gradual transition from you to her, it'll be so 131 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 3: helpful to them. Replies says, how would she go about 132 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: doing this in any way that is different from how 133 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: you would do it as the parent. She's only been 134 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: in the area for five months, since she's not a 135 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 3: career nanny, so it's not like she has contacts. I 136 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: thought selection of a nanny was usually more formal than 137 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: asking someone inexperience to find you a sub I am 138 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: sure she's lovely, but I can't say I take my 139 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 3: new nanny's inexperienced suggestion for a replacement nanny. They don't 140 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: even know themselves, knowing my current nanny is going through 141 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: some stuff I can't even imagine even asking. Reply says, yes, 142 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: this is a little ridiculous. I very much doubt they're 143 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: paying her to find, hire and train your replacement money 144 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: if she can't even afford an apartment where they live. 145 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: Opie says, Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in the area 146 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: other than their family and my neighbor who is a 147 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: full time nurse. They actually found me and I them 148 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: through a well known nanny search site. However, I would 149 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: be more than willing to write up the duties and 150 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: or train my replacement. 151 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: Dude, that would be a world of difference. Yeah, I 152 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: feel like. 153 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I get what those commenters are saying and 154 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 3: saying like what are you going to do? But I 155 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: do think it's nice to offer, like say, yeah, I'll 156 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: help you with whatever transition you need, but there's an update. 157 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts? 158 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Dude? Twelve year olds these days can do really good 159 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: at babysitting. Well back in the day they could. I 160 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: don't know about these days. They might be iPad kids. Yeah, 161 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, good luck. I don't know. I think she'll 162 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: take it well. My prediction is she's gonna take it well. 163 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: I think, so move on. 164 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'll be all right, especially if you 165 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: explained the situation. Yeah, I don't see any outcome, or 166 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: it'd be like no, yeah, yeah. 167 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: I don't think she'd be like, you have to stay here. 168 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: You're blinded to us. 169 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: I know you're in a bad situation, but you gotta stay. Update. 170 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: I did talk to my mom two nights ago. I 171 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: waited until her work was over. I work based on 172 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: her hours, not the dads, but I also feel more 173 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: comfortable talking to her. I took the advice of a 174 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: lot of people on the original post and was just 175 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: completely honest. I told her that I was moving to Florida, 176 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: and that I planned on breaking up with my essoh, 177 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: and that I really wished I could stay for the family, 178 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: but that everything outside of work was not enjoyable, which 179 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: is all true. Her response was as expected, surprised but understanding. 180 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: She did immediately say, well, I know her friend knows 181 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: someone who's been looking. I'll ask her. So she went 182 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: straight into damaged control mode. She also thanks me for 183 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: giving her so much notice. One month, I did tell 184 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: her that I could train or write something up for 185 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: the next nanny, which she didn't really respond to. I 186 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: think she was still try to figure out who to 187 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: ask to be the new nanny, but I did get 188 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: it out there. One of my favorite parts was when 189 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: I asked her not to mention anything to s O 190 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: if she saw him out and about. We live less 191 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: than five minutes away, so it's possible. And she just 192 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: looked at me and said, why would I ever tell him? 193 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: It was great? 194 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Awesome, Okay, good? 195 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: Do you have any final thoughts? I think it all 196 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: worked out. 197 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. It was a little shocking coming from the mom 198 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: not being like, oh, like, is everything okay? Are you good? 199 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: M m. 200 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: It was just like damage control, get a lookout for herself. Yeah, 201 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: which if someone came up to me, I gotta leave town, 202 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: it's not Well, maybe OP didn't present it in that way. 203 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering if she just didn't say, like specifically 204 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: like I've got to leave my partner because it's bad. Yeah, 205 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: we don't know exactly. 206 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: How she said it, but and you know, everything was 207 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: in good timing. I think you were meant to leave now. 208 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 3: Mm hmm, I agree. 209 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: I think it was a ninety nine percent of op 210 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: knew like she's gonna understand, but it's that one percent 211 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 4: that like eats at her. She's like, yeah, I don't 212 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: think that one percent. If she says no can ruin everything. 213 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I have a friend news and Nannie and 214 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: you know who has like critiques about things. But it's like, 215 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: it's so hard because you get attached to the family 216 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: and stuff, and you're like, I don't want to I 217 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: don't want to leave them in a lurch and stuff. 218 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: So you feel guilty. Yeah, to the more negative side, 219 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: at least for me. Yesterday after work, I stuck around 220 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: and ate dinner with them. Then I had sort of 221 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: a mini breakdown. I know it was totally unprofessional and 222 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: not okay, but I ended up crying a bit, and 223 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: the mom took me to the front porch and calmed 224 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: me down. I was crying because I realized I did 225 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: not want to go home at all. I was making 226 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: up any reason to stay and I told her that 227 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: as well, and she actually offered me to stay on 228 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: their couch if I felt I needed it. What a 229 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: wonderful woman. So overall, even though I acted like an 230 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 3: idiot and definitely will not use them as a job reference. 231 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 3: Ha ha. I would give them an a plus on 232 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: being decent human beings and helping me out. And there 233 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: are some comments common one. I work at a contact 234 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: center where I employ a number of staff. I have 235 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: seen my staff members cry snotty tears because a customer 236 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 3: has been crappy to them, or because their home life 237 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 3: is interfering with their work, and I've had to talk 238 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: to them about why, and I've discovered they're struggling with 239 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: a booze problem, they're just barely managing, or they have 240 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: a parent in trouble, or some or other things. No 241 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: decent employers should ever expect their staff to be any 242 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: less than human. And sometimes things get to us in 243 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: environments where we want to keep our heads work life 244 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: and home life. Do you interact and have an impact 245 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: on each other? So maybe don't beat yourself up too 246 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: badly about being unprofessional. And that is the end of 247 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: that story. There you go. I think everything is gonna 248 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 3: be okay, and I think get out of that situation, 249 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: and I hope, uh Florida's great. 250 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I lost custody of my son to his babysitter. Wow. 251 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Trigger warning.

I mean my mom 280 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: at thirty two, at a nine year old, seven year old. 281 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 3: But still like kids that need to be taken care 282 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: of my point, So yeah. 283 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: I didn't give many rules, just as for daily summary 284 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: and said she wasn't allowed in my bedroom before work. 285 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: I left everything we needed on the table and pumped 286 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: milk and bottles in the fridge for her to use. 287 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: First two months were great, she summarized the day. Everything 288 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: was in order and the bottles were used. During my 289 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: baby six months, he began refusing my front airbag and 290 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't latch, though he took the bottle fine. After talking 291 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: with her and reading up, I figured he was getting 292 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: used to bottles, or maybe my scent was different. It 293 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: was a stressful time, so I let it go since 294 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: he was still fed. Until I couldn't pump enough anymore. 295 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: I switched to formula, gave her instructions as usual, and 296 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: started weaning with some solids. Two months later, around eight months, 297 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: something felt off. In two days, I used more formula 298 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: than she used in five I asked if she was 299 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: using it. She said yes. I thought I might be 300 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: mistaken since the baby wasn't fussy, but I set up 301 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: a GoPro in the living room an old phone recording 302 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: in the kitchen. When I watched the recordings, I was horrified. 303 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 3: Uh oh, he thought, I'm assuming that she's feeding the baby. 304 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 4: She's breastfeeding the baby front airbag. 305 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, the baby. 306 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: After I left, she sat on the sofa and front 307 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: air bag fed my baby. 308 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: Yep.

I did not give her 342 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: consent to do it. 343 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: Jail, what do you even do? 344 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 3: You could sue this woman's absolute under. 345 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: Good ser I fired her immediately. 346 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, as you should. 347 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: God, dude, this is crazy. She breastfed my son without 348 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: my consent and tried to replace me. I'm horrified and broken. 349 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: I took a week off of work to process this 350 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: and reconnect with my son. Feel like our family was violated. 351 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: Your thoughts would be highly appreciated. Edit. She isn't local. 352 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: I live on the countryside without agencies. I posted in 353 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: Facebook groups and left my number. She contacted me within 354 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: half an hour, asked for a photo and description of 355 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: my child, and we realized she lived forty minutes away. 356 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: It seemed far, but she agreed. She emitted pouring my 357 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: pumped milk down the sink to make it looked used. 358 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: I had given her a key for emergencies. I collected 359 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: it before firing her and will change the locks. Edit too, 360 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: I had my baby checked right away. Nothing seems wrong, 361 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: though I'm waiting for more in depth analysis. It looks 362 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: like she entered my bedroom. I usually lock it, but 363 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: sometimes forget, like the day I set up the cameras. 364 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: I found blonde hair on my sheets and in my 365 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: private bathroom strain. I think she showered there and used 366 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: my towels. I'm missing a bra to where I hope 367 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: they turn up in the laundry. 368 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: She literally tried to take your place. Oh, this is 369 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 3: so freaky. She tried to take your place. 370 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 4: She's trying to become you. 371 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 3: She's trying to become you. 372 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: Oh man, I suspect she took my baby outside multiple times. 373 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: I bought broke both a stroller and a baby carrier 374 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: while pregnant. I only ever used the stroller. The unopened 375 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: carrier was boxed in the guest room. After this, I 376 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: found it unwrapped, a bit dirty at the shoulders and 377 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: smelling used. She never mentioned it and I never told 378 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: her it existed. I also remember a small car seat 379 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: in her car. Even though she said her daughter was 380 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: seven and nine hours a day, five days a week, 381 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: she could have done anything. Oh yikes, she probably isn't 382 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: a mom. 383 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: Well she's she could be, because someone in that I 384 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: was saying, like if she to breastfeeds, she would have 385 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: had to take hormones unless she was she had her 386 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: own baby. 387 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, But like the other thing is she was getting on. Ope, 388 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: they need a real mom, not just someone there two days. 389 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: But what about what about your kids? 390 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: Exactly? That's a good, great point. And I do think 391 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: she probably would have had to be taking hormones because 392 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 3: how is she away from a baby that needs to 393 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 3: be breast fed for you know, five am to or 394 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: what what is it like five to eight pm? 395 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: She might have a milking business something like that. 396 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: I don't know what you can. 397 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Have a milking business? 398 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 4: Huh? 399 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: Where you where you stimulate your your Why do you 400 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: know this?

Okay, Yes, it can be illegal and 473 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: is generally discouraged to breastfeed a child discourage the consent 474 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: of the mother due to potential health risk and legal ramifications. Yeah, 475 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: as the act can be considered authorized touching or a 476 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: child in exagerates it's. 477 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: Literally it involves being unclothed in front of a child 478 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 3: that is not your child.

That's so obviously illegal. 481 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: All right, update the last twenty days, a lot has happened. 482 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: My baby is okay after an in depth analysis, which 483 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: relieves me. But that is only the good news. Just 484 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: take a moment. 485 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 3: That's the only good news.

If there's 490 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: more good news, lead with the bad news. 491 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 3: Anyway, let's sear the bad news. 492 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: I spoke to a lawyer and the police. But in 493 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: my country there is no laws against front airbag feeding 494 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: someone else's child without consent unless disease is knowingly transmitted. 495 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 3: That's crazy.

I made a couple of posts a while 609 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: ago describing what happened with my former babysitter, and after 610 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: two months in therapy, she filed a petition for a 611 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: third party child custody rights. 612 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 4: Uh. 613 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: Mind blown when I was notified of such an event 614 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: and thought it could never happen. But from a legal standpoint, 615 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: she's using the fact that she was my son's babysitter 616 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: for seven days a week from eight am to eight 617 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: pm for five months before getting unjustly fired and is 618 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: filing for extreme neglect on my part. 619 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: That is such a whoa.

This is completely false, but 634 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: it's proof. She's using text messages. I wrote to her 635 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: at different times after eight pm that was coming back 636 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: home in half an hour or so, sometimes even on Saturdays. 637 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: This happened five or six times, since I worked overtime 638 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: in extreme cases. But since we never signed any contract 639 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: or registered slash texted the details, I have no proof 640 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: to demonstrate that this wasn't real. Also, she's using the 641 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: fact that she didn't have a regular work contract to 642 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: her advantage, showing proof of deposits to her bank account 643 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: every month. For me, I feel so stupid because I'm 644 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: the one who proposed avoiding cash and using bank transfers 645 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: since I usually keep tracked of all my expenses that way. 646 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: Wait, why do you feel stupid? That's perfect? Do you 647 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: have proof that you were paying her to have a job, 648 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: a job that was babysitting for your child. 649 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: She's even using the fact that I'm on antidepressants to 650 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 1: try and prove that I'm an unfit to be the 651 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: mother of my child.

I tried to rebuke every claim by proving 654 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: my work shifts. But I live on the countryside. It's 655 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: hard to prove that it came back home constantly at 656 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: five pm. 657 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you came home late.

Custody of my song 728 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: was granted to my former babysitter. 729 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: What Everyone who was involved in that case should lose 730 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: their jobs.

We have no proof that she has 734 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 3: provided any unsafe conditions for child, like that she's done 735 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 3: anything unsafe. The only unsafe thing that's happened is the babysitter. 736 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: This doesn't make sense. Miss Kittikat says she's a terriblelawyer. 737 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: If this is real, Yeah, yeah, she's got it. She 738 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 3: must have had a terrible lawyer if she lost custody 739 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: to her babysitter. 740 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: Maybe the former babysitter was in on everything, bribed. 741 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 742 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: Probably, here's my conspiracy theory. Babysitter found out she was 743 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: never gonna have kids on her own. Couldn't find a partner, 744 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: wasn't able to be pregnant, so to. 745 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 3: Stole a kid and stole kids literally kidnapping. 746 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: And found the way still this child and knew everything 747 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: because this is going so easy, and also the fact 748 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: that she's proving everything, she's such a villain. 749 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 3: Ming mag says, why would the babysitter have more claim 750 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: than the grandmother, who knows any other family member? That 751 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. 752 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I feel like the baby, the babysitter planned 753 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: all this because she knows all the laws and was like, yeah, 754 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: I did this and that, Yeah, we agreed on this 755 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: on the first day. 756 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: I literally don't. I'm like, I don't believe this. I 757 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 3: can't believe this is real. 758 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: Legally, the decision was based on the extensive time my 759 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: son spent under her care, me being considered unfit due 760 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: to my antidepressant medicsane and the absence of a formal work. 761 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 3: Contract also insane. 762 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: The court perceived her daily involvement in my son's life 763 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: as taking on a parental role. They decided that she 764 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: was the one providing my son with emotional, physical, and 765 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: developmental needs, something they ruled I wasn't doing. Even if 766 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: I was working to provide for him. The court said 767 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: my working routine amounted to extreme neglect. 768 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 3: That's a lie. What are you talking about, really quick? 769 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 3: It's not neglect. If OPI is paying for a person 770 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 3: to care. 771 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: For her child, wait for them. She was the one 772 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: raising my son and to protect his welfare, she would 773 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: continue doing so. I was shattered. 774 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 5: This doesn't make sense. It's not neglect. If OPI was 775 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 5: literally paying someone to take care of her child so 776 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 5: that she could pay to have her child in a 777 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 5: safe environment and be cared for, she's literally going to 778 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 5: work to support her child. 779 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 3: This doesn't make any sense. These people are corrupt. 780 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: This is wild. The moment when they handed my son 781 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: over to her was beyond agony. She took him in 782 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: her arms, she kissed him like he was her world. Moreover, 783 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: my son immediately tried to unbutton her blouse to accept 784 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: her front airbags, something he never did with me. He 785 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: started crying like crazy when he couldn't manage while with 786 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: the babysitter looked at him with a loving smirk. I 787 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: think that was the moment I realized that for him, 788 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 1: I wasn't anything. I wasn't his mom wasn't family for him. 789 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: The babysitter was his mother. I can't describe what I felt, 790 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: other than realizing I worked full time and ultimately lost 791 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: my son to another woman. I felt defeated, and as 792 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: much as I hate to admit it, I accepted the defeat. 793 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: This is insane because no one was fighting for you. 794 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 3: This can't be true. I don't understand how this would 795 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 3: possibly happen. 796 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: How is this kid gonna grow up and find out. 797 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, like oh yeah, oh you're my babysitter. You stole 798 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: me from my mom. 799 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, the babysitter's gonna twist him like no, 800 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 4: no, no no. She was a terrible person. She was never 801 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 4: there for you. I'm your mother, what the heck? 802 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: Feeling so broken, I went to have a chat with her. 803 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: I asked her to please at least let me visit 804 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: my son and get updates on him. She accepted, but 805 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: with conditions. I cannot touch him or hold him. She 806 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: will hold him for the entire visit, and she will 807 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: be the one arranging the dates. I accepted out of 808 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: pure desperation. I don't know what got into me, but 809 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: after that, I held my tears and asked her why 810 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: she was so obsessed with my son that she even 811 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: took him away from me legally, She replied. She felt 812 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: I was unfit as a mother and that my baby 813 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: was so beautiful and needy that he needed a real 814 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: mother who could raise him properly. She's just saying that. 815 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: That's not really the reason. 816 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 4: I'm also very confused because she took that as a job. 817 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 4: What is her job? How is she supporting this baby 818 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 4: other than the time. 819 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 3: She doesn't have a job. She doesn't have a job. 820 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 3: She was doing that eight am to eight pm. 821 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 4: You were getting paid to take care of that baby. 822 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 3: She legally stole a baby and doesn't even have a 823 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 3: job to support the baby. 824 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 4: I don't I'm yeah, I'm so confused out this is crazy. 825 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: She said she loves breastfeeding and told me she loved 826 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: the sensation when she breastfad. 827 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: Well, that sounds really weird and icky. 828 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,439 Speaker 1: It was something she never experienced with her daughter or 829 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: with other babies. She said, he just sucked her. 830 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 3: I don't like that. I hate that. 831 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: She says she liked it so much that she had 832 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: to become his mother. After that, I felt dizzy and 833 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm the venge of passing out. But she continued. She 834 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: told me not to worry about him because she will 835 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: do an amazing job raising him. She said she would 836 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: make him fully dependent on her, just like a good 837 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: baby should be with his mother, and she had no 838 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 1: intention of winning him off or stop breastfeeding. And since 839 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: he likes my front air bags and milk so much, 840 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever stop. Those exact words still 841 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: echo in my head. 842 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 3: This can't be true. I's gotta be a fake story. 843 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 3: It's gotta because if the mom is saying all this, 844 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 3: or the babiesit are saying all this, I'm recording all 845 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 3: of it and going up judge freak alert. 846 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: That'll care, dude, Oh my gosh. 847 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 4: Oh. 848 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: She also said she doesn't trust school, so she would 849 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: homeschool him, just like she did with her daughter, and 850 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: she walked off, telling me I should leave the mother 851 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: roll to the better fitted one. After that, I draw 852 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: myself in work to avoid facing reality. I got most 853 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: of my social relations because it's hard to explain what happened. 854 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: I feel so ashamed, like I did everything wrong. The 855 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: only friends I kept along with my mother told me 856 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: I should fight to get my son back, but I'm 857 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: so broken mentally that he don't have the strength. I'm 858 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: also going to my therapist, but she doesn't seem to help. 859 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm relying on the antidepressants more than ever, and on 860 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: my work, which at least gives me a reason to 861 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: get out of the bed in the morning. 862 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: Girl, what just like I need you to finish this story, 863 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 3: I need it to be done. 864 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: I visited my son less than ten times in the 865 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: four months. My life revolves around working and waiting for 866 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: a text from the babysitter so I can see him. 867 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes she texts, sometimes she doesn't. Sometimes she greets me 868 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: while breastfeeding him. It's hard to keep my composure, but 869 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: he seems so calm and in love with her, and 870 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: that's the only thing keeping me saying. He looks at 871 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: her in a way he never looked at me. She 872 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: arranges visits in public spaces like parks or bars. 873 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 3: She's bringing a baby to a bar and they. 874 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: Never last more than twenty minutes. She always brings her daughter, 875 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: who clings to her mother and never leaves her side. 876 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 3: Okay, so she second does have a daughter who she 877 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 3: was after that whole talk about you know you need 878 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 3: to be there for your kids. She's supposedly homeschooling this daughter, 879 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 3: but she leaves the daughter alone from eight am to 880 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 3: eight pm. 881 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 4: I'm saying, there's too many plot holes here. 882 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 3: There's too many plot holes. 883 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: I don't like this at all. 884 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 3: I don't think this is real. 885 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 4: Is that her daughter or is that somebody else's kid? 886 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's either someone's lying, like massively, like she's lying 887 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 3: about she's got a hole. I don't know. This is 888 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 3: sting operation going on, or someone's lying. 889 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: She just buries her face and her mother and never 890 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: looks at me like I'm a monster. I hope my 891 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: son doesn't become like this. She just the thought drives 892 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: me insane. The visits usually consists of me watching whatever 893 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: she does with my son. I can't even touch him, 894 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: or she calls off the visit. This sometimes even means 895 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: watching her nurse him while saying how amazing her baby 896 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: is and how great of a mother she is. It 897 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: assures me mentally and physically, but I need to see 898 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: my son. One time, when she was leaving, I think 899 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: I overheard her daughter asking for her front air bags 900 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: when they got back. I really hope I misheard. Just 901 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: thinking about how it makes me shiver and cry knowing 902 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: my son is with someone like that woman and might 903 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: become like that. I would like to try and get 904 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: my baby back, but I don't have the mental strength. 905 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: It feels like the legal system betrayed me, and I 906 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: don't see myself having a chance. I feel so stupid, 907 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: like I lost everything because I was careless. Can we 908 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: look up some more stuff for this? 909 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 3: Are all the comments just saying this is fake? 910 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 4: No? A lot of the comments like, so sorry for 911 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 4: your loss of the baby, but this is from like 912 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 4: the last upbeat was from two years ago, and that's it. 913 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 3: I literally don't believe this story. And I never say 914 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,919 Speaker 3: this about story is I never say they're fake because 915 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 3: I try to give advice regardless of whether or not 916 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 3: I think the story is real.

They are apparently all saints, and my 992 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 3: father's blood relatives are always wrong and need to apologize. 993 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 3: Because of the distance and the fact that we're driving, 994 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 3: I purchased a majority of our child's presence online and 995 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 3: add them shipped directly to my father's work. He owns 996 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 3: his own business. I was afraid of something happening to 997 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 3: them while sitting on my dad's home doorstep during the day. 998 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 3: People be steelinder in the holidays. I love to give gifts, 999 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 3: not in excess, as we do live very frugal lives 1000 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 3: and usually only buy things we need. My child does 1001 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 3: not receive gifts except for her birthday and holidays throughout 1002 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 3: the year. A few days prior to our trip, we 1003 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 3: were making plans for Christmas Eve, and I mistakenly assumed 1004 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 3: that my father and Marge would spend Christmas Eve with us, 1005 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: considering that we were staying their home for the duration 1006 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 3: of our trip. They had already committed to spending it 1007 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 3: with my older stepbrother and his family two hours away. 1008 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 3: We accepted this and said, Okay, we'll spend Christmas Eve 1009 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 3: with my younger brother and his wife's family. No problem. 1010 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you guys usually do. Yeah. 1011 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 3: We had an extremely wonderful time, and I'm glad that 1012 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 3: we went. A few days prior to Christmas Eve, I 1013 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,720 Speaker 3: opened the shipping box that contained the one special present 1014 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 3: that I knew my child would have liked. It was 1015 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,760 Speaker 3: a niche gift that is only sold online by about 1016 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 3: two retailers, both of which do not have a traditional 1017 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 3: brick and mortar store fund. 1018 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: Is it a live view pro Yes, really no, and 1019 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 1: you can lie. 1020 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 3: I opened the shipping box to check the gift show 1021 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,760 Speaker 3: my asso, and I also mistakenly showed Marge. 1022 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: Uh, oh, guess who's going to have opinions. 1023 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 3: Christmas morning, I had forgotten about this one gift when 1024 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 3: it came time to put presents under the tree, and 1025 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 3: ran to our room where we were staying to find it. 1026 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: I checked that room high and low at least twice over, 1027 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 3: and myso also checked three times over to no avail. 1028 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 3: I showed a picture to my father and he made 1029 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 3: the remark that he saw Marge's grandchild wearing it on 1030 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 3: her head the day before when they visited my stepbrother's 1031 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 3: family on Christmas Eve. What March tells me she found 1032 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 3: it on clearance at a well known store. Yet when 1033 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 3: you look on this store's website for anything associated with 1034 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 3: the gift in questions genre, there are no results. I 1035 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 3: again give her the benefit of the doubt, because we 1036 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,479 Speaker 3: were leaving the day after Christmas to a neighboring state 1037 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 3: where my mother lives. I have a touch of add 1038 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 3: and I lose things. But if I spend the time 1039 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 3: to find the lost things, I always find them. The 1040 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 3: day after I got to my mother's house, I pulled 1041 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 3: everything out of my car, went through every single bag, 1042 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 3: every suitcase, and no present. Before I make accusations, I 1043 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 3: try to cover my bases and look at all possible situations, 1044 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 3: because I need to be sure. The only possible explanation 1045 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 3: in my mind is that she stole it. 1046 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: Does this item have a serial number? Well? I doubt it. 1047 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we should. 1048 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: You think I'd be against this. We should put serial 1049 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: numbers on everything. 1050 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 3: I think you ask her where she got it from, 1051 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 3: and then you email the people that sell it and say, 1052 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 3: do you ever put this in this store? 1053 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't mention it, but probably like get more 1054 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: into it. 1055 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 3: That's weird. 1056 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: Why would she still that you give it to another kid? Hey, 1057 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: it's Sean here. 1058 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to this episode, but a quick 1059 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 2: three minute break with asramre sponsors. 1060 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 3: I have contacted my father, my full blood brothers, and 1061 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 3: my uncle who is my father's brother. They all shared 1062 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 3: stories except my father, about Marge and her shenanigans that 1063 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 3: would make the average moral person gasp. She has constantly, 1064 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 3: over the years tried to separate my father from his 1065 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 3: family and embrace her side. She plans parties and gatherings 1066 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 3: and makes excuses as to why she does not invite 1067 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 3: my father's side of the family. This isn't just a 1068 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 3: few times. I'm talking over twenty years here, my father 1069 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 3: has made them and to my older brother that he 1070 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 3: feels as though he's being tracked by her. She consistently 1071 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 3: has his phone in her possession, so when I call, 1072 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 3: it's hard to not speak to her in some way. 1073 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 3: I have tried to save face over the years, but 1074 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 3: this is the last straw for me. I've already told 1075 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 3: my father that she has passed away to me and 1076 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 3: that she is trying to control his life by pushing 1077 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 3: his children away. 1078 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's isolation technique. 1079 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 3: I mean, she takes his phone all the time. 1080 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,479 Speaker 1: Why what's on there? 1081 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 3: He asked me why we always have tension, and I 1082 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 3: told him I don't know. I've tried to get along 1083 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 3: with her, and this was the icing on the cake. 1084 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 3: This woman is everything she could possibly need or want, 1085 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 3: and yet is still not happy or satisfied. This woman 1086 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 3: is literally spoiled, rotten, and is complete control over my 1087 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 3: father who's just trying to make everyone happy. In the process. 1088 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 3: My brothers and I have been the ones to bear 1089 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 3: the blame, the shame and have had to back down 1090 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 3: to keep her happy. I just can't do it anymore. 1091 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 3: I draw the line when you steal from my child, who, 1092 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 3: by the way, also has special needs. My intention of 1093 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 3: this post is for advice going forward. I just don't 1094 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,280 Speaker 3: know what to do other than try to stake constant 1095 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 3: in my father's life. I love my father and I 1096 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 3: worry about his health and her lack of care for him. 1097 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 3: She takes medication and drinks on a daily basis. My 1098 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 3: father may never leave her because of his health, and 1099 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 3: the divorce would absolutely ruin him financially, medically, and the 1100 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 3: aftermath would destroy his mental health. The punter is that 1101 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 3: my ESSO works extremely hard to give us a decent life, 1102 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 3: and he hasn't had a real vacation for the better 1103 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 3: half of a decade. This is by his own choosing. 1104 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,720 Speaker 3: Believe me, I have tried to make him take a break. 1105 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 3: He does not get along with his brother's or stepfather. 1106 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 3: This trip was to try and convince him to move 1107 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 3: closer to my family, because I'm close to all of 1108 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 3: my family except for my father's wife and her children's families. Yikes. 1109 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,439 Speaker 3: So you're trying to convince him to move closer to them, 1110 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 3: but one of the people that you're moving closer to 1111 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 3: is controlling thief. 1112 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't help that they've been married for about twenty 1113 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: years too. 1114 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1115 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: Oh dude, I actually I don't. 1116 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 3: Okay, I would confront her way more about that gift 1117 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 3: that she stole. I would definitely be may give me 1118 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 3: to pay that back. 1119 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: Mamaete all over. Yeah, I don't see isolation techniques happen 1120 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 1: with older people. You should with younger people. 1121 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1122 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen a lot like people my 1123 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: age not like this. 1124 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, anyone can isolate. Uh. Comment one, You're going to 1125 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 3: have to be blunt with her and with your father. 1126 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 3: This is unacceptable behavior. She needs to reimburse you for 1127 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 3: the item that she took, because it didn't just disappear 1128 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 3: over night. Then you'll have to go no contact and 1129 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 3: let your father know that you will be there for 1130 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 3: him if he ever decides that he wants to be 1131 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,760 Speaker 3: with his family again. I'm sorry, But if he chooses 1132 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 3: to stay with her, then he condones her behavior. Oh, 1133 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 3: he says, I completely agree with you. I just know 1134 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 3: that the no contact is exactly what she wants. This 1135 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 3: is really where I'm torn. Thank you for your comment. 1136 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 3: Comment two says you cut them out of your life. 1137 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 3: I'm really sorry for your father's situation, but at the 1138 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 3: end of the day, he made a choice and decided 1139 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 3: to stick by it. He chose his wife over and 1140 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 3: over again, and yet he doesn't put his foot down 1141 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 3: to be like this. He probably understands his role in 1142 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,359 Speaker 3: the relationship is giving her whatever she needs to keep 1143 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 3: tapping that. 1144 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,320 Speaker 1: Fine young But what it's not the same age. 1145 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 3: The same age, and he allowed it to continue to 1146 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 3: this day. So that's the bed he made. You and 1147 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 3: your family, however, don't have to partake in this circus. 1148 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 3: Go low contact or no contact at all. Meet him 1149 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 3: only in restaurants, cafes and whatnot. Don't go to their house. 1150 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 3: Don't subject your kids to interact with Marge. Your father 1151 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 3: had twenty years to wise up and choose his family 1152 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 3: over her. He decided not to. Opie says, we live 1153 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 3: out of state, so my child already has limited contact 1154 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 3: with them.

If I 1163 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,320 Speaker 3: drive a burning car on your driveway, do you blame 1164 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 3: the fire or the person who put it in your driveway. 1165 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 3: It might be hard for your father to leave now, 1166 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,919 Speaker 3: but can you honestly say he has had no opportunity 1167 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 3: for twenty years? 1168 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1169 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 3: Just because your father wants you to assimilate to his 1170 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 3: choices doesn't change the fact that he has made his choice, 1171 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 3: and he chose March six thousand plus days of him 1172 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 3: waking up and staying married to a woman who hates 1173 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,919 Speaker 3: his children.

If you really 1176 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 3: really feel like he deserves more of your patients than 1177 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 3: arranged to see him without her there, take him to dinner. 1178 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,879 Speaker 3: If he can't be alone with you without her there. 1179 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 3: It's just another choice he's making.

After giving it a little 1203 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 3: time and attempting to stay constant in my father's life, 1204 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 3: I have received a phone call from him today. Okay, 1205 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 3: small talk went good until I asked if he had 1206 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 3: spoken to March. She has expected would not admit to 1207 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 3: any wrongdoing, and he frankly didn't want to talk about it. 1208 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: Uh oh, So. 1209 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 3: Unfortunately I told him I was going no contact with 1210 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 3: both of them. I also told him he lost a 1211 00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 3: daughter and a granddaughter, to which I was and still 1212 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 3: heartbroken about. Thank you for all your advice. I deeply 1213 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 3: appreciate it. Some I didn't want to hear or realize, 1214 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 3: but it helped me to make this decision, and I 1215 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 3: hope in the future will allow me to have less 1216 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 3: stress when I visit my hometown. I have informed all 1217 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 3: of my family members about this, and every single one 1218 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 3: is being supportive in my decision. She has one child 1219 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 3: out of three left to drive away. I hope it 1220 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 3: doesn't come down to that, but I have a feeling 1221 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:23,240 Speaker 3: at will. 1222 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: When one falls other will too. Yeah. 1223 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 3: I think that was the right decision. Oh Pee, yep, 1224 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 3: your dad just can't see what he's doing and he 1225 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 3: needs to, you know, have consequences so that he changes 1226 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,280 Speaker 3: his behavior. But that is the end of that story, folks, 1227 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 3: and the end of this episode.
