And so I 373 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 4: never knew what life was without having that voice in 374 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 4: the back of my head going like you need to 375 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 4: go home and wake up at six in the morning 376 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: and make pancakes. Like you should go home now, you know. 377 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 4: So my first rider was like all trial and error. 378 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 4: I wrote a song about it on my album. He 379 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 4: was like my witness, you know, he was there my 380 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: whole adult life. And then that relationship didn't work out. 381 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 4: I'm single and then I met a new guy. 382 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: Was that a difficult separation or divorce for you? I mean, 383 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: obviously they're. 384 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: All difficult, but oh yeah, oh yeah, on a scale 385 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: of one to ten. 386 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really It was really interest when when you're 387 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 4: going through relationships, especially when you're young in the public eye. 388 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 4: I don't really get into all that stuff, but that 389 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 4: was hard for me. Like, I really really really loved Chris. 390 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 4: We had a great relationship, and the things that got 391 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 4: in the way for me of sort of growing together. 392 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 4: I knew we could never grow together for the rest 393 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: of our lives. Like he just fundamentally we saw our 394 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 4: values were different in certain places that I would never 395 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 4: have been able to stay on that train with him. 396 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: And he is exactly where he's supposed to be with 397 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: a beautiful wife, and I'm where I'm supposed to be. 398 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: But you know, even now when I look at Chris, 399 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 4: I have so much deep love for him, Like he 400 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 4: taught me everything about love. He loved me unconditionally, you know, 401 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 4: and I think deep down still maybe does you know, 402 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 4: but he really he taught me so much. But it 403 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: just wasn't meant to be. We weren't meant to be together, right, 404 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: I was through Type A for him. 405 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: I get it.

So then you get all 466 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 4: the anxiety. You get all the anxiety, whereas before I 467 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: never had those things. I just sort of was way 468 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 4: more spontaneous. So as I've gotten to become a better parent, 469 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: I've also kind of have different attachments that I'm also 470 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 4: now trying to like, you know, as I get older, 471 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 4: I want to, like, I kind of want to remember 472 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: what it's like to have more freedom and more spontaneity, 473 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 4: to let things be a little messy. It is interesting 474 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 4: how it changes, you know, and it does ebb and flow, 475 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 4: and like, some things are better. And then as you 476 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 4: get older, I think you also can certain things become 477 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: a little too tight as a parent, you know. 478 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the more aware we could become, it's 479 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: like you get smarter and better at your job. But 480 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: then you also are you have are wise enough and 481 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 3: experienced enough to know that anything can change in a second, 482 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: so you want to protect what you have, Whereas I 483 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: think when we're younger, we're not as conscious about what 484 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: we have in the first place, we kind of take 485 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: things for granted more, right, especially with your mom too, 486 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: because obviously you guys have a very tight knit family, 487 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 3: and your relationship with her must have changed so much 488 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: when you had children. 489 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 4: I think so, I don't know, I mean, sometimes my mom, 490 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 4: I'm like, I think you become more apologetic of your 491 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: own behaviors when you become a when you become a mother, 492 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: to your parents, you're like, wow, like they didn't know 493 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: what they were doing either, you know, and I you 494 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: know must have been there have been times where I 495 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 4: must have just drove them insane, especially all of her. 496 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: I mean I was actually good, you know, I wanted 497 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 4: them to be proud. All of her just wanted to 498 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 4: hide everything that he was up to. But now, yeah, 499 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 4: I mean I think I think the relationship where it 500 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 4: changes is that as you get older, you kind of 501 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 4: emulate the things that you really love about how you 502 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: grew up, and then you really want to walk away 503 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 4: from the things that you didn't. I think every parent 504 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 4: has that moment when they're reflecting on there how they 505 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 4: were raised, you know. 506 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think whether you're a parent or not, 507 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: as you get older, you start to understand how you're 508 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: mimicking the very things that you couldn't stand growing up, 509 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 3: whether it's your mother's or father's behavior, because the mindset, 510 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 3: well this is a separate thought, but the mindset when 511 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: you're growing up is my parents are in charge, They're 512 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: in control, they know what's best, even though I disagree 513 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: with them most of the time in my case anyway. 514 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: But then as you get older, and now that i'm 515 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: my age, you know, older than my parents were when 516 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 3: they had me, I'm like, they didn't know what the 517 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: fuck they were doing either, just like I barely knew 518 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 3: what I was doing. You know, you don't know what 519 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 3: you're doing until you're in your forties or fifties. 520 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm just not sure we really ever know what 521 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 4: we're doing, to be honest, because like the other day too, 522 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 4: it's like, now I'm in this place where I'm like, 523 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 4: you know what, I've got it figured out. And Writer, 524 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 4: now that writer is turning it as an adult. I mean, 525 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 4: he looks at me the way I looked at my parents, like, 526 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 4: you know what, this is my mom's issues. I'm not 527 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 4: going to feed into the Now I'm watching Writer do 528 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 4: that with me, and I'm like, whoa aren't I doing good? 529 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 4: How about it?

Even though 584 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 4: it's all bells and whistles and doesn't mean anything anyway, 585 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 4: it still can create I think a lot of insecurity 586 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 4: and men sometimes or women. 587 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: Well, especially in this industry, because you're coming up against 588 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: the same thing. You know, if people are involved in 589 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: the same business, it's like, obviously there's going to be 590 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of conflict. 591 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: No matter how evolved you are. You can pretend, but 592 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: it comes up. 593 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 3: I mean I've had to come up other you know, 594 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: all of my friends who have been dating other celebrities. 595 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: It comes up all the time. Whether you think you're 596 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: above it or beneath it or whatever. 597 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 4: There are moments where it's like, when is it my 598 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 4: turn to be at the center of what's happening for 599 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 4: my partner right now?

It becomes like I'm trying 603 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 4: so hard to make this happen, and it can just 604 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 4: like eat away at any relationship where you're in the 605 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: same field.

Our first email comes from Betts. She writes, 612 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 5: Dear Chelsea, I'm a thirty two year old woman with 613 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 5: a thirteen year old daughter who's in the seventh grade. 614 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 5: I've always given my daughter a ton of credit because 615 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 5: I was, in fact a teen mom and I never 616 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 5: really had my shit together up until the past handful 617 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 5: of years. Recently, we've started a new school at a 618 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 5: new district while making a move to live back with 619 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 5: my parents, and my job requires so much of my 620 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 5: time that my parents do all the running for my kids, 621 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 5: thus making this most logical decision for my family. 622 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 2: Since moving, my daughter has basically spiraled. 623 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 5: I allowed her to get Snapchat after waiting for so long, 624 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 5: and she ruined it within a week as I caught 625 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 5: her having sexually charged conversations with strangers. This past weekend, 626 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 5: she had a school dance, and after doing some very 627 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 5: light monitoring, I noticed she had been having a conversation 628 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 5: with a classmate about weed. I decided to drug test her, 629 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 5: and sure enough, she was positive for THHC. And although 630 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 5: I'm not anti marijuana, I feel like she's way too young. 631 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 5: Sometimes when I find myself up in her business, I 632 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 5: hear your voice, Chelsea in the back of my head, 633 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 5: reminding me I don't own her and that she's her 634 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 5: own individual self. But I still feel like she's too young. 635 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 5: My biggest fear is that she'll get caught up with 636 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 5: the wrong crowd. And eventually moved to taking pills. Hell 637 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 5: I didn't wind up pregnant in high school because I 638 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 5: was a good kid. But the amount of fentanel related 639 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 5: deaths in our stupid ass midwestern city is astronomical. What 640 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 5: are your thoughts on keeping herself aware and safe while 641 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 5: becoming her individual self? Side note she started therapy literally 642 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 5: two days before the discovery of this newest incident. 643 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: Bets Kate, I'm gonna let you take this as a parent. 644 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 4: Well, I'm just really impressed that she's she hears you. 645 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 4: When it comes to her parents, I'm no shit. WHOA Okay, Well, 646 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 4: there's a lot to say. One, I didn't hear anything 647 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 4: about dad, so I'm. 648 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: Not exactly sure what the deal is with dad. 649 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 5: She says that they split when her daughter was one, 650 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 5: but they get along great. I'm just not sure if 651 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 5: he lives nearby or any of that stuff. 652 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 4: Okay, So I think I can really relate to this 653 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 4: because that's a really really challenging thing when you are 654 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 4: going through when you start to go through puberty as 655 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 4: a girl. Who who It doesn't even it doesn't even 656 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 4: matter if you have a stepfather, because I had a 657 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 4: great stepdad. Kurt's the best. When you have dealt with 658 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 4: that kind of abandonment and what really feels like a rejection. 659 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 4: The individuation from mom becomes pretty intense during puberty. Well said, 660 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 4: and so I I think she's going through probably massive 661 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 4: hormonal time, you know, And I'm glad she's going to therapy. 662 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 4: Number one, I would be like, there has to be 663 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 4: open conversations about dad, and she needs to start feeling 664 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 4: like she is worthy of being a great, healthy, beautiful 665 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 4: young girl who doesn't need to appease boys or party 666 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 4: to like seeing cool or any of those things. And 667 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 4: then she just needs the information, you know. I think 668 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: like kids in weed is not great, Like you got 669 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 4: to grow your brain. There's so much research on this, 670 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 4: Like you start smoking weed too young, too much, it's 671 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 4: gonna fuck your brain up and it just ages your brain, 672 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: doesn't allow it to develop properly if you're too young 673 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 4: and you don't give it the right development time, especially 674 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 4: during puberty. And then there's the other thing, which is 675 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 4: to say to mom, like we all were there. So 676 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 4: we were all at that time. I'm in middle school 677 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 4: where people were experimenting and looking at you know. Now 678 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 4: we have the snapchat and we have the thing, like 679 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 4: we were all flirting and we were like trying to 680 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 4: be sexy and girls were trying to figure out what 681 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 4: that looked like on them. And it is the time 682 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 4: where you experiment with those things, so you want to 683 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 4: remember what it was like for you, which I feel 684 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 4: like she does, and then take that fucking Snapchat off 685 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 4: of their phone. I just think that social media for 686 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 4: kids that aren't wait till they're in ninth grade, like, 687 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 4: wait till they're a little bit older, like they just 688 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 4: the research is so heavy on this now. It's terrible 689 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 4: for kids. It's terrible. So I'm not, like, I will 690 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 4: not allow my son to get Snapchat when he gets 691 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 4: his phone. I won't allow him to get Instagram. I 692 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 4: won't allow him to get TikTok until he's fifty team. 693 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: You can fuck around with it with someone else's phone, fine, 694 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 4: but not he won't have it on his phone. And 695 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 4: I'm really strict about that. 696 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're strict. 697 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 2: I like that. 698 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 3: And I also think all you can do as a 699 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 3: parent is a set boundaries and over communicate. The best 700 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 3: parents I see are the people who actually have open 701 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 3: dialogues with their children. And I know your daughter probably 702 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 3: sounds like she's in a place that she doesn't want 703 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 3: to hear you talking to her about it because she 704 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 3: probably thinks she knows better. 705 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: But everything Kay said is perfect. 706 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: She's hormonal, she's growing, she's experimenting, she's looking around like ooh, 707 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 3: am I interested in that. It's all fucking completely normal. 708 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: The only things that you can control are like the 709 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 3: guardrails that you put up and getting rid of Snapchat. 710 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 3: She'll probably try and start a fake account, but it's 711 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 3: worth getting rid of and making sure that she understands 712 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: that if she does have a fake account, there are 713 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 3: going to be repercussions for that. And being in therapy 714 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 3: is great, thank god, because all she needs is the 715 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: information about what this is going to do. 716 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: What you can't smoke pot when you're thirteen years old. 717 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. 718 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 3: Your brain has to develop and otherwise you're going to 719 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: pay the price for a really long time. And you 720 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: should put that information in front of her, you know, 721 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 3: and not necessarily. I don't know, Kate, what do you 722 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 3: think about, you know, being a parent versus being a friend, 723 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 3: Like I think that's a very gray area with a 724 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 3: lot of parents, where people try to be their kids' friends, 725 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 3: and I think it's important during these kinds of times 726 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: to really be a parent. 727 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I really try to talk to my 728 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 4: kids when it comes to drugs and it comes to sex, 729 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 4: Like I really get very clinical, and I come from 730 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 4: a place of like what for me is a parent 731 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 4: and what I wish for them in their life, the 732 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 4: seriousness of it, and that it might seem now that 733 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 4: it's like fine, but what I've experienced and my friends 734 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 4: of mine that have gone down certain paths and being 735 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 4: really really brutal and open with them about it. You know, 736 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 4: I've lost friends to drugs. It's been terrible and I've 737 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 4: it and you watch it happen. And also like how 738 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 4: much you love your kids. I remember when I was 739 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 4: a teenager, like I love my mom so much. My 740 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 4: hormones and where I was at I had moments where 741 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 4: I just couldn't stand her. And it's not it wasn't personal. 742 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 4: It literally was my hormones, a function of me wanting 743 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 4: to be my own person and my psychology and all 744 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 4: the things that were happening at that moment, and my 745 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 4: mom's love and consistency in being there talking to me, 746 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 4: communicating is what ends up showing actively what that love 747 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 4: looks like. You know. 748 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I also think you should also treat this 749 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 3: what's her name again, bet sets like this is a 750 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 3: time in your life, like it's not the rest of 751 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: your life. She's just going through a time in her 752 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 3: life right now, and so you have to parent differently 753 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 3: during this time in order just to help guide her, 754 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 3: you know. And you can also set up like stepping 755 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 3: stones for her to earn your trust, you know, so 756 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: that she's to act responsibly. So when she acts responsibly, 757 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 3: then she can be on social media when you can 758 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 3: monitor her account and see that she's not talking about 759 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 3: drugs or sex or things that you're not comfortable with 760 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 3: yet as a parent of a thirteen year old girl, 761 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 3: which is totally acceptable. You can't control a thirteen year old. 762 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 3: I mean, you're her parent at thirteen years old. That's 763 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 3: still your role. And when I say like you don't 764 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 3: own your children, I mean that in a larger sense. 765 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 3: I think as a thirteen year old girl, you are 766 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 3: in charge of her. You don't own her, no, but 767 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 3: you are in control of the way she's going to 768 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 3: be directed. And so you just take that part really 769 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 3: seriously in this sensitive time which is puberty, and you're 770 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 3: not alone everyone is dealing with the same thing with 771 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 3: a thirteen year old girl, you know, if not exactly 772 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 3: the same thing. 773 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: I heard a. 774 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 4: Great piece of advice where someone said, like, we don't 775 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 4: need tough love, like the world presents us with tough 776 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,479 Speaker 4: and I was raised with a lot of tough love. 777 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 4: When I heard that, I was like, that's a really 778 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 4: interesting approach when you say boundaries, Like there's a way 779 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 4: to set boundaries that don't feel like you're coming down 780 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 4: on your kids, but really feel like we need to 781 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 4: meet each other as our kids get older. I remember 782 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 4: saying a rider our relationship will change. My love for 783 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 4: you never change is but our relationship and the mutual 784 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 4: respect that needs to start happening changes as you become 785 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 4: as you get older. And if we can't meet each other, 786 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 4: there's we're going to have a complicated relationship. And I 787 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 4: have boundaries, and if this is going to be smooth, 788 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 4: then we got to be able to talk these things out, 789 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 4: and that I think is the best, the only thing 790 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 4: you can do. You know. 791 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the idea of not looking at boundaries 792 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 3: as a punishment, but actually as like an encouragement, like, Okay, 793 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 3: you know, if you meet all of these criteria. Then 794 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 3: you're going to have more freedom to make your own 795 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 3: decisions once you prove to me that you're making sound 796 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 3: decisions and responsible decisions for your health and your safety, 797 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 3: et cetera. 798 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 2: It's a reward system. 799 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, like a reward system. It doesn't have to be like, no, 800 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: you're a bad girl. It's like, look, if you do this, 801 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 3: you can get this, you know, and after time of 802 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 3: watching her mature, which you will, like, don't worry, you're 803 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 3: gonna be fine. You've got her in therapy. You've done 804 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 3: all the right things. So just be very you know, 805 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 3: conscious of making sure you're over communicating all the time, 806 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 3: whether she wants to or not, you're available for it 807 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 3: if she ever needs you. So that's the message you 808 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 3: get across when you're always showing up for someone, is 809 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 3: that when they do need you, you'll be there. 810 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 4: So parenting is hard. 811 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: And that's why I've chosen not to do it and 812 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: participate in that. 813 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 4: It's not an easy job. Our kids challenge us so 814 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 4: deeply and profoundly. They also know how to pick and 815 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 4: poke at all your weak spots. They see it, even 816 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 4: if they don't even know that they're seeing it. They know. 817 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 4: I think the other thing is that our kids are 818 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 4: our teachers. When we see our kids going through something, 819 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 4: we also need to reflect back on ourselves. You know, 820 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 4: they've moved, she's moved. She must feel destabilizing for her. 821 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 4: She's acting out, and so I think mom too has 822 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 4: to look and go like, what am I doing that's 823 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 4: contributing to that. 824 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted to touch on the fentanyl concern.

I 847 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 3: feel badly like I grew up in a time where 848 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 3: you could try anything and it was pretty much going 849 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 3: to be fine. 850 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: But it's not like that anymore. 851 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 3: And you know, it's a bummer because you do want 852 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 3: to experiment and have a little fun, but you can't 853 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: do that. 854 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: It's just not worth the risk at this point. 855 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how I see it now. 856 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 3: It's like I do feel like giving somebody a fence 857 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 3: and all strip is permissive, it's right saying okay, well 858 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 3: if you do it, then yeah, I don't know. 859 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: I would feel weird about that as a parrot. 860 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially that young that's young kid. 861 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 5: Well that's all from bets, but let's jump to our 862 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 5: first collar. Monica Rights, Dear Chelsea. I'm thirty six years 863 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 5: old and have been with my partner for two and 864 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 5: a half years. When we decided to become exclusive, I 865 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 5: asked him where he stood on having kids. He said 866 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 5: he was indifferent. He'd be happy with or without kids. 867 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 2: I was clear with. 868 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 5: Him that I want children. All was good on that front, 869 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 5: so we moved ahead. About a year in, he told 870 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 5: me he actually wasn't so sure about having kids. He 871 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 5: realized he hadn't really thought about it that much when 872 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 5: I first asked him, and now he's having second thoughts. 873 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 5: I was devastated. Our relationship has been amazing so far, 874 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 5: and we decided to move in together. Per my request, 875 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 5: we started couples counseling to help with that transition. In 876 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 5: counseling and with his own counselor, he came to the 877 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 5: conclusion that his doubts about kids were rooted in fears 878 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 5: he had from his prayer marriage and conservative Christian upbringing. 879 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 5: Thank Jesus, he's no longer religious or married. I'm delighted 880 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 5: that he is back on board with having kids now. 881 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 5: The problem is adoption has long been a dream of mine. 882 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 5: He knows this, but it's not a deal breaker. For me, 883 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 5: not wanting kids at all is a deal breaker. Over 884 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 5: the last year or so, I began to realize how 885 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 5: important adopting is to me for so many reasons. My 886 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 5: partner does not want to adopt, and he's adamant. When 887 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 5: I've asked why, he just says he's not interested. I've 888 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 5: tried to respect his wishes, but I'm not ready to 889 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 5: let it rest. Where do I go from here? I'm 890 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 5: afraid to keep probing the top back as I don't 891 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 5: feel like I have a good idea of other questions 892 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 5: to ask or what to say to convey how important 893 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 5: this is to me.

But there's also I mean, just 902 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 4: simply you can also have babies on your own. Yeah, 903 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 4: if adoption is your life's purpose and you want to 904 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 4: do that as much as you love him, you need 905 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 4: to go adopt a child and have and you'll never 906 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 4: regret it, I'll tell you that. 907 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, but you will. 908 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 4: Regret being with someone where you to feel like you're 909 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 4: not doing something that you're meant to be doing. Yeah, 910 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 4: that's how I feel about it. I mean, you know, 911 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 4: really simply like if someone loves you and you're in 912 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 4: it together, like then you figure out how to do 913 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 4: it together. And if you're not on the same page, 914 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 4: you're never going to be on the same page about that. 915 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, those are great points. It's interesting you brought up, 916 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 6: you know, being able to do it on my own 917 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 6: before this relationship. You know, many years ago, I was 918 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 6: very concerned about finding a partner at all, and I 919 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 6: was like, I'm getting too old to start a family. 920 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 6: And I finally came to the point where I accepted 921 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 6: and was okay with and happy with the reality that 922 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 6: I could go out and adopt children on my own 923 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 6: and still live a full and happy life. So yeah, 924 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 6: it's interesting you bring up that point. 925 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 3: Which is a very salient point because instinctively, I was thinking, like, oh, 926 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 3: he was already on the fence about having kids. You 927 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 3: convinced him to do that through therapy, and now you're 928 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 3: throwing another wrench at him. 929 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: It feels slightly unfair for you to be putting that. 930 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 3: You know, you're kind of moving the goal posts for him, 931 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 3: even though they've been your goalposts. It feels like it's 932 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 3: unfair to him for that. So I but I think 933 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 3: Katie's right, like, you're never going to regret a child. 934 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 3: Nobody regrets having children, you know what I mean. But 935 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 3: you will resent to somebody for stopping your dreams to 936 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 3: come into full bloom. 937 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: And that's very valid. 938 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 3: And if you think that's something that you can't live 939 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 3: without doing without adoption, then you absolutely need to let 940 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 3: him know that and and prepare to leave the relationship 941 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 3: if he doesn't change his mind. 942 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, that's that's a great point. It's it's you know, 943 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 6: everything is really great aside from this one thing that's 944 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 6: kind of unresolved, and the idea of leaving him is 945 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 6: really hard because I love him so much. Do you 946 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 6: think you know the idea of the moving goalpost? Do 947 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 6: you feel like this is a conversation that's fair to 948 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 6: have with him to like hope that he gets there, 949 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,399 Speaker 6: Like if i'm you know. 950 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 3: Well, you have to have the conversation because this is 951 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 3: what you want. But did you convey this early on 952 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 3: in your relationship that you were into adoption or is 953 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,439 Speaker 3: this a newer feeling that you've had. 954 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,720 Speaker 6: I definitely conveyed it within the first year. I don't 955 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 6: recall that I brought it up when I first told 956 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 6: him that I definitely want kids. That was very very 957 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 6: early on when I said that. In hindsight, I wish 958 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 6: I would have brought up adoption then as well. But yeah, 959 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 6: he's known about it for a while, and it's only 960 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 6: been more recently, like in the last I don't know, 961 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 6: maybe six months or so that he has said, you 962 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 6: know where I've kind of asked him again. I brought 963 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 6: it up at least a second time, and he's like, yeah, 964 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,439 Speaker 6: I don't think that's something I want to do, And yeah, 965 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 6: I guess I'm not sure how to bring this up 966 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 6: again when all he's given me is I don't want 967 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,760 Speaker 6: to do that. I'm just not interested. Yeah, I'm curious 968 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 6: like how to get like to what's underneath that my. 969 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 4: Therapist always says, you know, when you change, then everything 970 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 4: starts changing around you, you know, because at the end 971 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 4: of the day, this is really more about you than 972 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 4: it is about him.

I previously thought just you know, 997 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 6: not wanting kids was a deal breaker and that I 998 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 6: could compromise on the adoption thing. But the more that 999 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 6: I've thought about it in the last year or so, 1000 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 6: I'm realizing that it I don't know. I'm not to 1001 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 6: the point yet where I want to call it a 1002 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 6: deal breaker, but it is very important to me, and 1003 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 6: I would be sad to give up that dream. 1004 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 4: Right. 1005 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: Well, I think what you can do is, do you 1006 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: guys go to a couples counseling at all? 1007 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 6: We have we're not currently, but we were earlier this year. 1008 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 3: Well, you might want to enlist a counselor to kind 1009 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 3: of talk about it with you, because it's always better 1010 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 3: to have a third party, I think. But I think 1011 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 3: there's a very natural, sweet way you can bring it 1012 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 3: up without putting It's not like you're ending the relationship, 1013 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 3: but you're introducing the idea that this is something that's 1014 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 3: really become more and more important to you. Maybe you 1015 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 3: didn't even realize how important it was, the adoption and 1016 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 3: you're at a time in your life where you're really thinking, like, 1017 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm going to be complete without 1018 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 3: doing this, And I just need you to know that 1019 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 3: this is how I'm feeling, and I would love for 1020 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 3: you to change your mind, but I'm also not here 1021 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 3: to make you change your mind. 1022 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: Like if you're not on board, and I have to 1023 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: respect that. 1024 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 3: You have to respect his decision as well as you 1025 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 3: have as you're respecting your own decision, you know, whatever 1026 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 3: that ends up being, and give him the room to 1027 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 3: think about it and like soak in the idea of 1028 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 3: what might that look like as your future. And that 1029 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 3: way you're giving each other room in space to breathe 1030 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 3: and contemplate a decision and a new life and all 1031 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,280 Speaker 3: of that of those things without saying this, you better 1032 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 3: do this or I'm leaving you know what I mean. 1033 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be like that. 1034 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 4: Do you guys live together?

Yeah, yeah, see what happened, you know. 1042 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 3: What I mean? 1043 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 1: I like that option. That's a great option. Yeah. 1044 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 6: When he was uncertain about kids, my counselor suggested something 1045 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 6: I thought, you know, just you know, you can live separately, 1046 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 6: raise a child and still be together, which is something 1047 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 6: that I still I don't know. I haven't been able 1048 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 6: to fully wrap my head around, because I do want to, 1049 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,800 Speaker 6: you know, have a partner in a you know, a 1050 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 6: more traditional family. Yeah, but yeah, I mean that is 1051 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 6: that is an. 1052 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 4: Option that I should give some more thought. Truth is 1053 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 4: the second, the second it starts happening. You know, if 1054 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 4: you guys really love each other, he's probably just going 1055 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 4: to be all over that child. 1056 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 3: And you know, I'm thinking the same thing. I think 1057 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 3: that that that. I think that's a good move. That's 1058 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 3: a good sideways move. 1059 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: I like that. We don't usually give sideways advice, or 1060 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: actually we probably do unknowingly. 1061 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 4: I've ever done is sideways. 1062 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, think about think outside the box, you know 1063 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 3: what I mean.

But the sooner you have that conversation, the 1228 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 3: sooner she's gonna get used to the idea. 1229 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. 1230 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 5: Like floating the idea out before you're like, this is 1231 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,840 Speaker 5: what we're doing and when it's happening could be really helpful. 1232 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:41,279 Speaker 1: Right. 1233 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, we like we've sort of like danced around it, 1234 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,840 Speaker 9: but I can tell it's like not gonna go smoothly, 1235 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 9: so we just like leave it. 1236 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 3: But that's not a reason to not do it. And 1237 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 3: also you can set up like, hey, this is this 1238 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 3: is our plan. We're going to come back every whatever 1239 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 3: once a month and spend the weekend with you. 1240 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna come, We're gonna come get you. For a week, 1241 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: a month or whatever. 1242 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 3: The schedule is, Like lay that out so that you 1243 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 3: know there's comfort in that and there's like some consistency 1244 00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 3: and a schedule that's being set. 1245 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think that's the thing, is 1246 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 9: just giving her that comfort. 1247 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: But and frame it that it is temporary. 1248 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 3: Just say that for everyone's sake, Just say we're just 1249 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 3: gonna try this for a couple of years so that 1250 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 3: everyone can warm up to the idea. Because that way, 1251 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 3: if you do end up staying by that time, everyone's 1252 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 3: going to be over it. 1253 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: Anyway. 1254 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 3: Families are resilient and they rebound from the trauma and 1255 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 3: they come back to you.
