0:37

Friday from two to five Pm

0:39

Eastern time on Sirius Xm. Triumph

0:41

One Eleven Chris welcome to the

0:44

program. Or doctor looking for

0:46

breaking my call you. I'm a

0:48

single dad. my son nine years

0:50

old. I'm what happened to mommy.

0:52

them. There

0:56

was some infidelity and we

0:58

separated. When. He

1:01

was much younger. mm no. Unfortunately,

1:04

there was some. Like

1:06

when we we were sharing costs to be in the

1:09

beginning under. Those are

1:11

some issues with violence and him being

1:13

left alone a mouse ways green stuff

1:15

like that. So he's been so. when

1:17

you were dating her was see violence

1:19

kind of sexy or something. No,

1:24

certainly not. We both made mistakes in

1:26

terms of like or courtship and whatnot.

1:31

And. What was going to buy? Think you. Would.

1:34

It was staged you think you made in the courtship.

1:39

Oh. Well, I certainly didn't.

1:47

Where we may be made a lot of mistakes we were

1:49

not. We I'm just asking you if she

1:51

were here. I get her. List.

1:54

But if just give me yours. i

2:00

kind of committed to her emotionally too

2:03

soon, right? I wouldn't call a

2:05

fall in love, but you know, when people get

2:09

enamored with someone too quickly. And

2:14

we lost trust really, really quickly as

2:17

well. Like I said, there were some

2:19

issues to do with trust. And I

2:22

made mistakes as well. I didn't

2:26

let her know about the condition

2:29

I have to do with depression and whatnot. So

2:32

that didn't help either. I wasn't honest. Fair

2:36

enough. Oversized

2:41

ruffles, sequins, fringe. This

2:44

spring, there's no such thing as too

2:46

extra. Dive right into

2:48

the maximalist trend with Macy's. The

2:51

blingier, the better. They've

2:54

got what to wear anywhere, like a showstopper look

2:56

for the front row seats at a show. Macy's

2:59

has the bright colors and mixed

3:01

textures that command attention. Check

3:04

out your new fave

3:06

styles at Macy's.com/ own

3:09

your style. I love a challenge.

3:12

3:18

pass on. I'd rather enjoy

4:23

how is your boy doing? So

4:26

my boy is actually doing pretty well

4:29

and I've been taking positive parent classes

4:31

since I kind of took over full time

4:34

and I talked

4:36

with therapists just to have somebody

4:38

objective to kind of talk through

4:41

parenting with but just hearing

4:43

your advertise just hearing you talk about your

4:45

podcast tonight just made me realize I'd

4:47

really love to hear Dr. Laura's opinion because in

4:50

the last six months he

4:52

has a lot of resentment towards his mother like

4:54

I'm saying like in a lot of good in

4:56

a lot of ways she's a great she's

4:59

a good person she's hard worker ambitious

5:01

whatnot but like he talked a

5:04

lot about hitting and things

5:06

like that and it's no

5:08

don't tell me things like that give

5:10

me as much feedback as to what he said

5:13

don't minimize it belts

5:15

and violence

5:18

so in

5:21

my probing of them I don't know if it was just

5:24

threatening with belts or actually using belts but there was definitely

5:26

punishment that just I mean

5:29

most that when you were together no we were

5:34

apart okay

5:36

what was the last time he was with his

5:38

mother to have violence perpetrated on him he

5:46

would have been like four years

5:48

old maybe or okay so what

5:51

is he asking you tell me what you

5:53

wanted my opinion what would you like my

5:55

opinion on so

5:58

I worried in the last like still in the last couple

6:00

of years. I

6:03

want him to know that his mother loves him

6:05

but also... Cut the crap! Cut the crap! Cut

6:07

the crap! This positive parenting

6:09

thing, if it's making you talk

6:11

irrationally, she doesn't

6:14

love him. Okay. Alright.

6:16

Why do you think she's choosing... You're

6:19

just dismissing that? Don't

6:21

lie to him. Say, I made a mistake and

6:24

married the wrong woman, quite frankly, and

6:26

I feel bad about it. And

6:29

I'm sorry you got exposed to the violence,

6:32

but I made sure it stopped and that's

6:34

why you're with me, so I

6:37

can protect you. And I do apologize

6:39

for making a mistake in

6:41

picking a woman to be my wife

6:43

and your mother. I made a boo-boo. Sorry,

6:46

I hope one day you will forgive

6:48

me for that. Okay. Kids

6:51

can deal with that kind of

6:53

truth much better than the lie,

6:56

your mother loves

6:58

you. Okay. You think that's supposed

7:00

to make him feel good? Is that

7:02

love? Abandonment and neglect and violence,

7:04

that's love? Daddy's nuts. Okay, then

7:06

I'm going to go find a

7:08

woman and beat the crap out

7:10

of her because daddy said that's

7:12

love. Okay,

7:15

I understand. Yeah. Good. Okay,

7:19

that makes sense. You

7:21

saved the day. Unfortunately,

7:23

I'm at the end of my tether

7:26

and time, but I hope that

7:28

helped. And

7:30

yeah, you needed me to yell at you. Sorry.
