Well, 585 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: Olivia is here and she did want to talk about 586 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 3: my son's behavior. As many guests, she does think something 587 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: is going on and confronted my son about it. 588 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: Oh. 589 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 3: He did not take the accusations well, and a fight ensued. 590 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 3: Things got heated before I arrived to pick up Olivia, 591 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 3: and when she got in my car, I could see 592 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 3: her arm had a large hand mark on it. She 593 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 3: was hysterical, and it broke my heart seeing her cry 594 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 3: so hard. All I could do was pull over in 595 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 3: a parking lot and hold her as she sobbed in 596 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 3: my car. She told me that she was sure he 597 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: cheated again. Yes, again. Apparently he cheated on her multiple 598 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 3: times in the past. First when they first began dating. 599 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: She forgave him, and then he promised he'd never do 600 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 3: it again. He then again cheated with one of her 601 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: bridesmaids during his bachelor party. I asked why she never 602 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: told anyone or left him. She said, I didn't want 603 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 3: to lose my mom and my husband at the same time. 604 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: Oh God, that effing broke me. I felt like I'd 605 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: failed her, detect her or notice how he was hurting her. 606 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 3: I saw them as a picture perfect couple, high school 607 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 3: sweethearts with a set of twins to match. I just 608 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: held her and told her how sorry I was for 609 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 3: being so blind. All she did was sob I can 610 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: still hear it echoing in my head. I got her 611 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 3: some of her favorite fast food on her way down, 612 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 3: drew her a bath where she is now, I can 613 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: hear her sniffling and quietly sobbing in the bathroom. I 614 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: feel so lost. My son has blocked my number after 615 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: I took Olivia with me, and honestly, I think it 616 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 3: was a smart move because I can't trust what I 617 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: would say if I speak to him. I've never felt 618 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 3: this way before. I don't know what I'm feeling towards 619 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 3: my son, but I can't call it love or patience 620 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: or care like I'd always had, and that breaks me. 621 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: I feel like my little family is crumbling and I 622 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 3: can't hold it together.

I was a pretty well 716 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 7: behaved kid for the most part, but there was a 717 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 7: few instances where I acted out. And I remember like 718 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 7: there was like my legs were too short to you 719 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 7: know how you could like kind of sit and like 720 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 7: press your feet against door to like keep someone from 721 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 7: opening it. I was too short between the distance from 722 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 7: like that wall and the door, like my feet couldn't reach. 723 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 7: So I remember getting a little chair and then pressing 724 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 7: my feet on the chair as hard as I could 725 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 7: so he couldn't open. 726 00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: They I don't want you, But I mean. 727 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 3: Did he hold him back. I think he was just like, Okay, 728 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna let you deal with it. I think 729 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 3: it was like at first he was trying to go in, 730 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 3: and then after like two seconds, he was like, I'm 731 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 3: just gonna let him tire himself out of like deal 732 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 3: with this situation later. But you know, they're not Those 733 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 3: aren't great situations, I would say, but they kind of 734 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 3: pale in comparison to the situation that we're about to 735 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 3: get into. 736 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 7: To that let's hear it, my father is forcibly inserting 737 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 7: himself into my therapy sessions. 738 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 3: Do you don't want your father forcibly inserting anything into anywhere? 739 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 7: Oh good gravy, you do not, Oh goodness, So god, 740 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 7: I sixteen female, have pretty much been shoved into therapy 741 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 7: despite my wishes. I understand that therapy is supposed to help, 742 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 7: but I just don't think it's for me. I also 743 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 7: think my feelings may change one day, perhaps when I 744 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 7: start adulthood officially, which is such a funny, like sixteen. 745 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 3: Year old essentially adulthood? 746 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 2: What is official adulthood? Eighteen? 747 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's when you're like not a minor anymore. 748 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 3: I don't feel like an official adult. I also don't 749 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 3: feel like I. 750 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: Feel like a little child. 751 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 7: Still, definitely for some a lot of needed context about me. 752 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 7: I've lived with my father and disabled sister for a 753 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 7: few years now after my mom pretty much left us 754 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 7: and chose drugs. 755 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: I'm not really torn up about it. 756 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 7: We never saw eye to eye, and she pretty much 757 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 7: just liked to play video games and leave messes, which 758 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 7: is also like what, like I feel like a kid 759 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 7: would do. Yeah, you know, the biggest issues I have 760 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 7: gone through since she's left are these one. Since mom 761 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 7: left there are even less funds for basic needs. We 762 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 7: all have some form of disability in my family, and 763 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 7: I don't know how much each of us makes, but 764 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 7: all the money goes towards the house. I'm not allowed 765 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 7: to have a job because of my age and because 766 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 7: my disability would be taken back by the government. 767 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 2: I guess, so it seems like. 768 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 3: Actually does happen. Sometimes disability actually encourages people to not. 769 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 7: Work right right, Yeah, and especially like I guess she's 770 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 7: a minor, so that there's probably extra like implications around that. Two, 771 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 7: Because my mom left, I have to take care of 772 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 7: my severely disabled sibling by bathing her, changing her adult diapers, 773 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 7: and even making sure she doesn't. 774 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 2: Eat things that she's not allowed to. 775 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 7: I feel like I've taken my mom's place, and my 776 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 7: dad keeps blaming me for every little thing my sister does. 777 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 7: That's awful, Like she's doing all the work as a 778 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 7: sixteen year old, and you're like blaming her for things 779 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 7: that the disabled a year old can barely take care 780 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 7: of themselves, like for real, Like that would be insane. 781 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, I'm tired all the time, failing in 782 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 7: school and have no desire to really do anything. I 783 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 7: used to be a very motivated overachiever, but ever since 784 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 7: the separation, I zone out constantly and just daydreamed the 785 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 7: hours away. I feel like I lost a part of 786 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 7: me that I'll never get back. Wow, this is sad. Yeah, 787 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 7: it's really intense. I also have depression, ADHD and anxiety. 788 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 7: A few months ago, not long after Thanksgiving, my dad 789 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 7: told me that I have to go to therapy place 790 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 7: near my school every Tuesday. I was not happy about this, 791 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 7: but had little choice. Talking about my problems does not 792 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 7: get rid of them, so why bother? 793 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 3: I thought, although, therapy can be good, so maybe that's 794 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 3: a good thing. 795 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,439 Speaker 7: I would agree, but you know, op is a little 796 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 7: bit of a you know, the teenager mindset. I would 797 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 7: say here, school is awful, home is awful. Life sucks 798 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 7: and won't get better, especially with this pandemic. So I 799 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 7: start going, and then I began opening up more and 800 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 7: more about my feelings and my sadness. Without going into 801 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 7: too much detail. I told my therapist about my lack 802 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,959 Speaker 7: of motivation and the separation, and then I talked about 803 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 7: life at home. I didn't go into heavy details, but 804 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 7: I did mention I'm cleaning up after my siblings and 805 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 7: I feel like my dad doesn't even love me. Well, 806 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 7: a couple of days or so after my appointment, there 807 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 7: was a visit from Child Protective Services. 808 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 2: Oh what. 809 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 7: They wanted to talk to me and my dad, and 810 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 7: they asked a lot about my sister and well, my 811 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 7: dad put two and two together and knew that somehow 812 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 7: it was my faults. And when CPS left, I was 813 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 7: grounded until further notice. He sold my phone and Nintendo 814 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 7: three DS to a pawn shop and told me I 815 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 7: was not allowed to leave my room except for school 816 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 7: and bathroom breaks, and canceled Christmas. 817 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 3: Oh my, this is prison insane, like cancel Christmas? 818 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 2: See fur real. 819 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 7: He told me that I made him look bad and 820 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 7: put the family at risk. I could have made him 821 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 7: lose custody of my sister and me. But I was 822 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 7: told not to talk about the lives or problems at 823 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 7: home or I would regret it. Yeah, so it's like, 824 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 7: go to therapy, but don't talk about any actual problems 825 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 7: in your life. Like, just go to therapy and say 826 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 7: everything's fine. I attend school, I drank water like literally. 827 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 7: I actually felt like I was in the wrong for 828 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 7: telling my therapist of all these problems. I questioned if 829 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 7: I actually lied or not, but I know I didn't. 830 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 7: I didn't talk about the good stuff because not too 831 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 7: much of that was happening. I was very angry and confused. 832 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 7: I couldn't trust myself not to cause the child perspective 833 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 7: services to come back again. So at my next therapy appointment, 834 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 7: I just shut down and didn't divulge anything. I felt 835 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 7: bad about it, but what else could I do. I 836 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 7: didn't want to put my family at risk. Well, I 837 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 7: guess I went about it wrong because she told my 838 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 7: dad that I was not talking to her.

I never know what they 852 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 7: talk about, but it makes me feel like he's trying 853 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 7: to make my therapist. 854 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 2: Believe him over me.

I'm not 860 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 7: mad at the therapist, because I do think she was 861 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 7: genuinely worried about me. But ever since he inserted ourselves 862 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 7: in our appointments, all she has really done is listen 863 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 7: to him and make suggestions whenever she can get a 864 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 7: word in. That is, he rants and rans and rants, 865 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 7: and I'm not allowed to call him out on any 866 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 7: of it. He'll do things like extend my grounding and 867 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 7: not even let me use things like catch up and 868 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 7: mayonnaise a dinner ridiculous.
