Both of us have always 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: known that we wanted children, and we've had a lot 9 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: of discussions about just how that might happen. 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: Oh wow, pretty young for that kind of conversation. 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: That is true. 12 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: Actually, that is that is a young coulp. 13 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: And to have always had that conversation, that's I mean 14 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: in their super early twenties and maybe even nineteen, depending 15 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: on how long they were together, who knows, even teenagers. 16 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: My brother Roy thirty four female cheated on Oh wait 17 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: wait wait. 18 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: Sorry they're both. Oh I just realized they're both it's 19 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: a lesbian couple. Yeah, but that's still that didn't regis 20 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: that's still young. That's still young to talk about kids though. Yes, yeah, 21 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: that's crazy. 22 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 3: Perron. 23 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: So my brother Roy thirty four male cheated on his 24 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: wife thirty two females with a younger woman Mary one female. 25 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah dang. 26 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: He had been carrying on an affair with her for 27 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: about two years. Mary says that nothing started until she 28 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: was eighteen, for what it's worth. Oh, when you have 29 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: to clarify that. 30 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: God. 31 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: However, all of this came to light when she got 32 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: pregnant and came to our family. Broy wanted her to abort, 33 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: but she wasn't comfortable with that, and he convinced her 34 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: to go with adoption instead. Ultimately, this caused major trouble. 35 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: In his marriage. 36 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: Gee, really, who would have thought? 37 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 3: Who would have funk? 38 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: Oh? My god, our family all have come to known 39 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: Mary and my partner and I actually ended up offering her. 40 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: A lot of support. 41 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: Nice. 42 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: He's pretty chill, pretty chill, very gracious, too gracious, we'll see. 43 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: We genuinely became friends with her as well. Mary is 44 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: not in a position to be raising a child, and 45 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: she's not really interested in motherhood. However, my partner has 46 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: had a little bit of baby fever and she's asked 47 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: if we could be the ones to adopt Mary's kid Riley. Yes, 48 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: why don't we do a poll for our beautiful exclusive 49 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: members adopt or not. 50 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: I'm curious. 51 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm curious how the people feel because also, this is 52 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: a very rare. One of the pros I think is 53 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: it's a very rare opportunity to for No, it's not 54 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: a rare opportunity, but it's an opportunity for them to 55 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: have a child that is related to them by blood. 56 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: Now they could just use one of their eggs. Oh 57 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: what if they had this child and then they had 58 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: the other woman use one of her eggs, and then 59 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: they have two children that are both related to one 60 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: of each other. 61 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: That would be cool. 62 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: That would be cool if they like they inseminate. Yeah. Yeah. 63 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: The only bad part about all of this is that 64 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: the family will be reminded of his like accident. But 65 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: I hope that the kid won't always be looked at 66 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: it as that. 67 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense, not. 68 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: An accident though, it's a well, well, the kid's inception 69 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: is an accident, but the act to do it was Yeah. Yeah, 70 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: that that I think is one of the cons. Yeah, 71 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: like the baby will kind of forever like his wife, ops, 72 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: sister in law. Maybe too much, Maybe it might be 73 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: too much, but we'll see. 74 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: We got ninety five percent, yes. 75 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: Percent, Yes, ninety five percent. Yes, we'll see if it 76 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: changes the time goes on. But that's very interesting. So 77 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: our state actually makes private adoptions pretty straightforward. So we 78 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: made the arrangements through an attorney. Mary was happy about this, 79 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: and we told her that we'd be glad to have 80 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: her in the baby's life as it fits her ability 81 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: to be around. Mary gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Sabrina, 82 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: and Sabrina has been living with my partner and I 83 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: ever since. 84 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Legally I am her mother. 85 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: Nice my parents have been thrilled about this because they 86 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: love the idea of having their grain kid around. They've 87 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: been a great help and are constantly helping us look 88 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: after our daughter. Roy the birrother, however, is severely unhappy 89 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: about this to say the least. Uh, maybe you shouldn't 90 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: have had an affair, baby slash an affair? 91 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: How about them? 92 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: How about that? He didn't want us to adopt Sabrina 93 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: And he says that her being around at family functions 94 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: and in everyone's lives so much is upsetting his wife. 95 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: To what we predict, Predica, actions have consequences. 96 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: Actions have consequences. You have to do with them. 97 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: They've reconciled more or less and she's kind of stuck 98 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: with him. Oh, she's been a stay at home parent 99 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: since she was twenty, and there are reasons why a 100 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: divorce might not go well for her, but he says 101 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: that Sabrina is still a constant storre point, it kind 102 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: of sounds like she's literally just there because she's like, 103 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: I have literally been a stay at home mom for 104 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: so long that it would be in a massive upheaval 105 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: to my life to have to like change that's a 106 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: whole lifestyle that I have to completely change, which I 107 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: very much sympathize with. Yeah, I can totally understand that, 108 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: but it does kind of suck. As now his wife 109 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: not that she should be able to stop the adoption, 110 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't think, but like you know, but ope, he says. 111 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: Both Roy and his wife are resolutely child free, and 112 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: his wife had literally threatened to divorce him if he 113 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: ever attempted to gain custody over Sabrina. 114 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: Wow. 115 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Roy says there were a million other ways that my 116 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: partner or I could have gotten a baby, and that 117 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: it was selfish and aholish to force quote unquote his 118 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: mistress's baby back into their life after he was trying 119 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: you repair of things. Bro again, you are the one 120 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: that caused all of this, and honestly, I what's the 121 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: pull out right now? And Harlan Baker says, thanks for 122 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: the don't know, the brother can get over it. He 123 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: was the one who cheated without protection. Op is giving 124 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: the child a good life. That's the thing is like 125 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: the child now not only as great adoptive parents, but 126 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: is now going to have the birth mom in their life. 127 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: This is honestly the best I think still the best 128 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: case scenario. Maybe we read more and maybe we change 129 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: our mind, but. 130 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: Like second best case Roy taking ownership and being a 131 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: good father and the wife being okay with it. Yeah, yeah, 132 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: actually yeah, that's this is honestly probably better than that 133 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: because Roy and the wife are not really good people. 134 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: So this is the best choice, listen, giving if Roy 135 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: was a better person, second best, but given the scenario, 136 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: best choice. 137 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, because they both were like, we want to be 138 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: child free. So if the child was actually taken care 139 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: of by them, assuming they still have those same like 140 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, child free once in tendencies, it probably would 141 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: not be a good situation child. So yeah, this is 142 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: this is a very good scenario for the kid. I 143 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: think at least does it right now. He's repeatedly pointed 144 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: out that my partner still thinks she might want to 145 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: get pregnant at some point soon, and the fact that 146 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: I haven't denied that I might be pregnant someday as 147 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: reasons why we should have let Sabrina go to some 148 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: other family where quote unquote she won't automatically cause trouble. 149 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: He is also not only upset about Sabrina being in 150 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: the family, but about Mary being around two the mistress. 151 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: He really hates her because he feels like she tried 152 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: to baby trap him. You know, did you ever consider 153 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: hating yourself for causing the pain to your wife? It 154 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: seems it seems as if everyone else is getting blamed 155 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: except for you. 156 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: You are blaming everyone. 157 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: Except for yourself. Whoa, Oh my god, stop, sit down 158 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: and shut up. This couldn't be further from the truth, 159 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: as she never wanted to keep the baby one way 160 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: or another, and yeah, she did not want a baby. 161 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: She did not baby trap. Asked to how she got pregnant. 162 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: They were using protection and he thought that she was 163 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: also on birth control.

He felt jealous and insecure that 336 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't being brought in as another dad for me. Okay, 337 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: so I guess he's like frustrated that he wasn't being 338 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: brought in as a dad. Soon enough, I guess they 339 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: reconnected when I was eight and got married when I 340 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: was twelve. My relationship with Sam's complicated and weird, and 341 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: he wants to adopt me, but I don't want him 342 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: to be my dad. I don't want to be adopted 343 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: by him or have him take care of me if 344 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: I become an orphan. He has always made it a 345 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: point to bring up the fact that Daddy wasn't my 346 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: biofather in the first place, and how legally it was 347 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: a miracle. He's even on my birth certificate. 348 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: I hate it. It feels gross. 349 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: He told me, at least i'll know him while Daddy 350 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: is someone who's just saintly in my mind because I 351 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to process only having one parent. So basically, 352 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: I think he's saying like, except you know, I'm also 353 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: not your bio dad, so accept me. You know, just 354 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: the same way that you know Daddy was also not 355 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: your non bio dad, and the fact that like you 356 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: kind of see him as a saint in your eyes. 357 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: It was there we go, there we go. 358 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: Even though I know I was raised by one parent, 359 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: but I still had two. Just wasn't a sweet But 360 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: I read the book he was putting together for me. 361 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: He documented a lot of the parenting journey in surrogacy 362 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: stuff and the pregnancy until his death. 363 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: Ah. 364 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: Wow, he was so excited. He loved me so much. 365 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: He wanted me so badly. Oh right in the fields. 366 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: On Father's Day, we had a big fight over adoption. 367 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: Dad was out and Sam brought up the adoption to me. 368 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: He told me he's tired of feeling like an outsider 369 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: because I always treat him like Dad's spouse instead of 370 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: my stepdad or my parent. I told him that because 371 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: that's what he is and he has to learn to 372 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: accept that. I told him nothing changed for me. He 373 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: told me, it's stupid because I love one stepdad so 374 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: much more. Buddy, Buddy, that was his original parent that 375 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: passed away, That left this amazing momentum, Like, you can't 376 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: do that. You're not gonna win win him over this way. 377 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: I told him Daddy is more than just a stepdad. 378 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: And then I told him I don't want him to 379 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: adopt me ever, and bringing up Daddy isn't winning me over. 380 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: I told him, if anything, he's making me wish Dad 381 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: had found someone better. 382 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: On Father's Day. 383 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: On Father's Day, dude, you're right. Dad doesn't know what happened. 384 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: But things have been tense since Sam and I went 385 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: too far? Am I the ale? We have relevant comments, 386 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: we have an update, but ladies and gentlemen, we need 387 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: to stop right here, right now. So, like sam Is 388 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: and I have a slight conspiracy theory. 389 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: Tell it. Here's Sam. 390 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: Here we go there he is sam Is. 391 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: I think Sam is just trying to win the approval 392 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: for Dad because it's like, hey, like I'm married to 393 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: this guy. I want him to like have a positive 394 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: view on me. I think he's doing it more to 395 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: just look good than to have a relationship with it. 396 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: Maybe there is a part of him that once of 397 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: a relationship with a kid. But my that's my conspiracy 398 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: theory is that that that's his actual true main motive here, 399 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: which is like not a great motive. And it's like 400 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: so obvious. It's like, you can't force this kid to love. 401 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: That's basically what he's trying to do. And it's like 402 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: the more you try to force, especially because he is 403 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: still a kid, he's a sixteen year old teenager. Yeah, 404 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: of course he's gonna like lash out at you. The 405 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: big question I have, and maybe we could throw up 406 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: a pole for this, is is Opie the ahole? 407 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 3: For what he said? 408 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: And let me like read it back, both for you 409 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: all and for me to get the exact quote from 410 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: the story, so we're having everything straight here. I told him, 411 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: if anything, he's making me wish Dad had found someone better. 412 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I will say so Sam definitely the 413 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: a hole, Yes, op. 414 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: Kind of the a hole. But I totally understand. 415 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: Justified a hole. 416 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: I I don't know if I would say justified. I 417 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: think my asterisk would be I totally understand that he's emotional. 418 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: He's like teenager. 419 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: This is about his deceased dad, who he loves very much. 420 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he is justified, Maybe he's justified. I think I 421 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: think I'm on the fence of saying he's justified or 422 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I just understand his a holary. 423 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: You know, Chad is disagreeing with you like crazy, it's 424 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 2: six ninety seven percent. No, not the a hole. I 425 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: think there was a line that needed to be placed, 426 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: and by doing this, this was the way Op was 427 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: able to make that look. 428 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 3: Get the message clear that. 429 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: I think that is a brilliant point because this got 430 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Sam was just not getting it. And so it's like, 431 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: I kinda it's gonna sting, but like you need to 432 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: understand and learn this boundary and it's not He's like, oh, 433 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: he's been quiet, like things have been tense. I think 434 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: the message is finally sinked in that he can't just 435 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: keep like forcing, you know, as Titan Summers say, not 436 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: the ahole, as Sam keeps pushing, like Sam keeps trying 437 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: to push and force to be the level basically and 438 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: want and want to be ort a minimum, want or 439 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: agree to be adopted. You know, I'll change my mind. 440 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: I'll go with justified justified a whole as well. Like 441 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: it's not a great thing to say, but I totally 442 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: get it, and I don't even fault him, Like I 443 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: really don't fault him honestly at all. 444 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: I feel like people don't fight anymore. They just fight 445 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: with their words now and you, my boy John, are 446 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: not a fighter in those aspects. You don't fight people. 447 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: He's a lover, dude, He's a lover. He'll he'll try 448 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: to figure out the best way to communicate something like that. 449 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 3: That's true. 450 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: That's that's where he's coming from. Sometimes you gotta fight 451 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: with your words. You gotta be like, hey, back off, Sam. 452 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 453 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: I think, uh, even though maybe it makes him the 454 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: quote unquote justified a whole, I think that's actually what 455 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: he needed to say. 456 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: Maybe that he's not the ahole. Maybe I'll change my 457 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: mind completely. 458 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: By the ladies and gentlemen, we have some relevant comments here, 459 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: so oh. 460 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: The relevant comments. 461 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh no, something happening in response to me 462 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: now deleted comment. My dad would be on my side here. 463 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: He never wanted Sam to take the place of my 464 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: second dad slash parent. He's always just a partner for him. 465 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: I am also not denying myself love. Sam is the 466 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: not buying it by making it him versus daddy. 467 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 3: That is true. 468 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: Sam has been like angling it very like. I'm not 469 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: trying to replace him. I just you know, want to 470 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: be here, to be apparent to you. He has tried 471 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: to compete since I was four years old when he 472 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: and dad had a short thing. 473 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 2: Interesting. 474 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: A top commentary said, you need to really talk to 475 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: your dad and tell him everything that is actually big facts. 476 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: Does your dad know about what Sam is doing? Sam 477 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: has no right to try and erase your daddy, regardless 478 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: if you met him or not. He is still and 479 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: always will be your daddy. You're not the a hole. Sam, however, 480 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: is an a hole. Yeah, Honestly, go to the dad. 481 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: Go to the dad and tell him everything, because if 482 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: the dad is a good father, he should be Like, Yo, Sam, 483 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: why are you doing this? Like it's protect the kid 484 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: at all costs, because again, like we're growing up, like 485 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: we have way more tools and whatever as like grown adults, 486 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: and he's carrying, you know, these different traumas and this 487 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: very negative experience of his father passing away, his other 488 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: father passing away. Opie responds to, Actually, dad doesn't know. 489 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: I always knew this would be the end of their 490 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: marriage if he Oh, dude, I want my dad to 491 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: be happy, so I kept quiet. But I guess that's 492 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: not such a great idea anymore, especially if it comes 493 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: out in a more explosive way eventually. Dude, this kid 494 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: just wants to see his dad happy. I mean his 495 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: partner literally passed away.

So oh gosh, 547 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: this is hard to show. Okay, here we go. So 548 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: basically OP has has two dads. So his bio dad 549 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: is still alive. His non bio dad, who calls daddy, 550 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: is deceased. So the dad and Sam are now in 551 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: a relationship on and off. Now they're married on and off. 552 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: Now they're married for like many years deep in their relationship. 553 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: Now Sam is trying to force Op like, hey, let 554 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: me adopt you, let me be your dad. You should 555 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: accept me as your dad, and kind of like comparing 556 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: him and his beast daddy, who he like, op Daddy 557 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: made a made a book. I guess as he knew. 558 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm guessing he kind of knew he was going to 559 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: pass away, and he made this adorable book about like 560 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: his life, his experience, their experience of having having OPI 561 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: and how much he loved him. 562 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 4: That's so sweet. And I don't like Sam. 563 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, SAMs, Sam, Literally Sam is the worst. 564 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: Is the worst. 565 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: It's terrible ever SAME's in the other room, our our 566 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: good same. 567 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 3: We love just kidding, that's not you. 568 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: And then Auntie Jija is the surrogate mother. Okay, so 569 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: she's not really a main character in the story. She's 570 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: just a surrogate mother. So basically, where're at right now 571 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: is Opie is going to tell Dad that's Sam because 572 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: Dad has literally no idea that Sam has been pressuring 573 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: his son to accept him. And he said, in a 574 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: response to irrelevant comment, He's like, if I tell my dad, 575 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna divorce. 576 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 4: Okay, can I redo that? Okay? While you I totally understand. 577 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so sorry. 578 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: No, I didn't hurt, but I was really worried that 579 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 4: it would. Okay, I understand now. It helped me understand it. 580 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 4: I just want to make it look pretty. 581 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 3: Oh, go for it. 582 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, we have an updates the next day. 583 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Also July third, twenty twenty fourth. This was pretty pretty recent. 584 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: I told Dad everything. He brought me out to get 585 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: ice cream and we just talked for like four hours 586 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: about everything that happened. My dad was so upset. He 587 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: had no idea Sam had ever even mentioned adoption to me. 588 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: Sam never mentioned he wanted to go that far. We 589 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: both ended up crying because Dad felt so guilty and 590 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: I felt awful hurting my dad. All I ever wanted 591 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: was for him to be really happy. Oh Sam, this 592 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: is all your faults, say, are you doing this? He 593 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: got really mad when I told him what Sam said 594 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: about Daddy and being just a step father. My dad 595 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: isn't a guy who gets mad, so to see him 596 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: that way was surprising, but also not really because he 597 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: still loves Daddy so much. Because again, as we've said, 598 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: in all of the stories where it's deceased partner, it's 599 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: like you never stopped loving that person. 600 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: They just that way. Sadly. 601 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: I ended up spending that night at my best friend's 602 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: house and I'm still here. He said he needed to 603 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: take care of things without me there and he'd pick 604 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: me up later today. He sent me a text late 605 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: last night that said Sam won't be at the house 606 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: when we got back home, and he apologized again. He 607 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: apologized a lot yesterday. Also, Sam sent me an angry 608 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: text at some point, and I blocked his number. 609 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: I figure I don't need it anymore, and I'm going 610 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to read it back one more time. 611 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, he's he said he needed to take care 612 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: of things without me there, and he picked me up 613 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: later today. He sent me a text late last night 614 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: that said Sam won't be at the house when we 615 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: got back home, and he apologized again. Yeah, so basically 616 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: I just wanted to double check Dad has ended the 617 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: relationship with Sam to protect OP, which is w W 618 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: parenting move, absolute w parenting move, and that is the 619 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: end of the story. Dixie Blue Steele says that Sophia 620 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: is always scared of the whiteboard being passed to her. 621 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's a danger, it's a hazard. 622 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 4: Dangerous. 623 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: Also, my arms are weak noodles today because zero texts. 624 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 4: Today Also would should be the line for like a 625 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 4: previous waiting Also OP uses notion. 626 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: I see that he said that in a comment. Really yeah, 627 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 2: he said something like ocean checklist. What that helped me 628 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: a lot, like in order to like help out with uh, 629 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: like telling Dad stuff. And that's what we use here 630 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: for our stories. Is that's an ocean. 631 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: It's true, that's funny. No free sponsors. 632 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: So let's break it down, y'all. I mean, Sam, absolutely 633 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the a hole deserves to be dumped, yes, right, yeah, 634 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: get him out of there, we hate Sam. Do we 635 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: think that there's anything different that Dad should have done? 636 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 3: And once once he once he. 637 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 4: Learned from this from only knowing the second half of 638 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 4: the story, I think he handled it pretty quickly. Yeah, 639 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 4: it seems like once once so he felt comfortable enough 640 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 4: to tell him what was going on. I think he 641 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 4: handled it pretty effectively. 642 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: I agree. 643 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: I think it was pretty flawless execution. 644 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 3: It was this is it's giving. 645 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: I protect my child above everything else, which is which 646 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: is great? And like like op said, he he literally said, like, oh, 647 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: I think my dad will will divorce him because one 648 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: of his clearly one of his deal breaker core values 649 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: is you must treat my son with the most. 650 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 3: Respect, like you know possible. All that could. 651 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: Now let's answer the let's talk about the question of 652 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: this episode. When is adoption not the answer? 653 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 3: Now? Yes? 654 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: And it was funny because when I first read that 655 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: read the episode question like, didn't adoption is great? Adoption 656 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: is amazing? But actually, yes, there are many Basically when 657 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: the child is like no, I do not want and 658 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: do not consent to this. 659 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, when the child is old enough to you know, be. 660 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: Able to speak their mind, and like yeah, one hundred percent. 661 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: We've talked about this before. You can't force a child 662 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 4: to see you as a parent, especially as like a 663 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 4: step parent.
