0:00.0	The virtue she's decided not to talk to her kids and he just started dating her and he's wondering
0:08.4	does that make a statement about how she deals with all relationships? That was the conversation
0:14.0	that I was having with a friend of mine and I told him I can't help you here because I'm too close
0:18.7	to it. I feel too strongly about it. I come from a family where my parents got divorced and
0:26.4	my mom was in New York at the time. My dad moved with his new wife to California,
0:31.7	make a really long story short. I moved to California with my dad and my dad really did a number.
0:39.2	I mean, just manipulated me to make me think that my mom didn't love me. No mother would ever give
0:45.0	up their kids. I can't believe she did that. So when she tried to call once or twice, I'm like,
0:50.0	you never loved me. And then she just stopped calling for like 10, 11 years, right?
0:55.9	So she really kind of gave up on me and those emotional scars and the way that I have dealt with

1:34.8	decided to look if you're going to go live with your dad, that's fine. I'm not your mom anymore.
1:40.4	And she has cut them off, right? I don't know too many details about why they chose him over her,
1:49.2	but at the very end of the day, she said, you live with him, then it's just going to be you and
1:55.6	your dad. And I'm not your mom. So he's like, it's really rubbing me the wrong way. She seems like
2:02.0	a really nice person. They just started dating. And she seems like a nice person, but does that make
2:07.4	a statement about how she feels about other relationships. And I just said, I can't help you in
2:13.6	this one, man, because if I was in that situation with my family history, that would be a deal breaker
