0:47
I. What's. Up. I
0:50

0:53

0:55
my. Thank. You
0:57
I am trying to make. My
1:00
father dead to me. Ah,
1:03
Do. And. When he
1:05
had an idiot a clipper. What? Is dead?
1:07
Do you may mean? And.
1:10
Mean. Kill.
1:14
Him at not part of my life anymore
1:16
because he did some bad things. To
1:19
my sister and I. And
1:21
yeah, I'm.
1:23
Having a very hard time. Just.
1:27
Letting him go like God because of the
1:29
anger. You know I have a lot angry
1:31
at a project ahead of me. I have
1:34
a project to write everything down. That.
1:37
You've ever done. And
1:40
then forgive him. I thought I had forgiven him. At
1:43
it and little rap who told you
1:45
to forgive them that is such bull
1:47
crap. Anybody. Who told
1:49
you that? Handed. You
1:51
bull crap. You. Don't forgive
1:53
it. And. You don't have to have him
1:55
dead to you. And
1:59
the more you spend are you present? And
2:02
them more that you ruminate on this
2:04
the more negative and upset and focused
2:06
on things other than the quality of
2:08
your life. There's.
2:11
A difference between letting something go
2:13
because it's so destructive and descriptive.
2:16
To today. Is
2:19
that a matter of. Somebody.
2:21
Did something evil? You. Don't
2:23
forgive them. Ever. Didn't
2:27
have to be dead if. You just
2:29
you. Just. You. Know just. Pull.
2:33
Yourself together. To.
2:35
Face a life without the
2:37
anger. Your
2:42
justified. In. Being angry? That doesn't mean
2:44
you have to be angry every. That
2:48
doesn't mean you keep going to therapy and
2:50
go through the list of things and right
2:52
admin, Burn them and forgive them and all
2:54
that crap. At. This crap. Bad.
2:57
Stuff happened. Your. Mother
3:00
brought an evil person into your lives.
3:03
He did evil. And
3:06
you survived. To. Make.
3:09
Perhaps. You got educated, Perhaps you got married?
3:11
Perhaps you have a nice hobby. You've.
3:13
Survived it. You
3:16
flourished anyway. So. Instead
3:18
of going over how angry we are.
3:21
And. Struggling with something you don't want to do
3:23
which is forgive him which I think it's absurd.
3:25
To forgive him. Instead
3:30
of going on. Facing
3:33
what you've done in spite of. Having
3:35
him. And. His evil things.

I graduated college, but I had to
6:37
because he. He. Gave us all the.
6:39
You. Know you got one year to. Get out after mom

it's interesting that you went to the
6:53
ridiculous. Because. You didn't want.
6:55
Give yourself credit. You.
6:58
Didn't have do. You.

Body in New York City. That
7:12
syrup. So
7:14
I already learned that you don't
7:16
like to give yourself credit. Because.

7:21
don't give themselves credit. And.
7:25

a difference era pissed Wow,
8:02
I just totally didn't expect you to say
8:04
that. Think
8:09
on the positive, huh? No,
8:12
it's not thinking on the positive. It's
8:14
look at what you've done in spite
8:17
of him. And instead
8:19
of just resting on
8:21
those laurels, we have to keep going back
8:24
with therapists and stretching up the other good
8:26
crap. How
8:29
is that useful? I
8:32
maintain it's not. You're
8:36
a functional, wonderful human
8:38
being in spite of him. Enjoy
8:41
that. Throw away the list. Please.
