Wasn't child Protective Services bad, but 34 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: it was toxic and I was shipped.

Now, after I turned seventeen, I went no 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: contact with my parents due to a bad event that 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: broke the straw and the camel. Plus I didn't feel 39 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: the need to be in contact with them since they 40 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: tried to ruin my name to our extended family minus 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: the grandparents, who knew better than to listen to them anyway. 42 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Soast forward in twenty twenty one and I have my 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: son after graduating from college. That's ope, and my parents 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: were in low contact mode after my husband convinced me 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: to try for our son to have grandparents. 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: So basically in low contact. 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: And no contact and go into low contact. Mind you, 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I hadn't said a word to them the whole time, 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: so when they asked about my son, they asked what 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: I named him, and I told them Nick, and my 51 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: mom was like, why didn't you name him after your dad? 52 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: I was in shock, like, what do you expect? Honorifics? 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: When we got back into contact, just in no contact, Yeah, 54 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: we just started talking to you. You want me to name 55 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: my son after you? I just shook it off and 56 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: said I don't want to do that, and plus his 57 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: father chose the name and we went with that. He 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: was mad that I didn't at least give him my 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: dad's middle name, which my son's middle name was in 60 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: honor of my grandpa and my husband's brother, who passed 61 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: right before our son was born. I said I didn't 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: want to drop it. Well. Fast forward in twenty twenty 63 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: three and I find out we're pregnant again with another 64 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: little boy, and I knew before I got home from 65 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: the gender reveal what my parents expected. They said, so 66 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna name him after your dad, right? I just 67 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: rolled my eyes and said, no, I don't do first 68 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: name honorifics. I might do a middle name, but that's it. 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: What's the deal with first name HONORIFICX?
