Your mom is Shrek.

Thank you for being so active in our little community.

We love you.

Absolutely.

Okay. But this one gets a little serious. So, Jon, are you ready? I'm buckled in. Okay. Hey guys again. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice. My best friend told me how they were so proud of me for posting my story because I struggled to talk about it. So on to the story. Since what happened to my mom, my dad has taken me in. He was also going through a divorce. He was not getting a divorce with my mom. They were getting a divorce because they were not happy and had a miscarriage. Geez, rough. My dad was very depressed, which I did not see because I was a very happy seven year old. Okay, so I guess we're back in time a little bit. He basically straight up after getting divorced got into a relationship. I liked her. She taught me a lot, but she was not my mom and more of a friend. On new years in 2022, they broke up. He told me the worst things about her and I could not say anything because it was not my place to. Which actually, you know, it's probably not like a great thing for your dad to do. No, not at all. In general, to like, you know, trash talk someone he dated.

someone he dated. Like, you know, I get, I get maybe being a little angry if the breakup was bad, but yeah, not the best thing to tell your kid. Agreed. After they broke up, her son had to move out, which took around six to eight months. I was very depressed because my dad has become a bit of an alcoholic. And his ex-girlfriend would feel unsafe. She would shout at me and call the police, but I didn't. When they moved out, my dad started dating nonstop and he brings a new girl every week and I'm tired of it. I'd be tired of my roommate bringing someone home new every week too, honestly. I tried to talk to him, but he says I'm stopping him from finding love, which I think is BS. dad's out of the family is 50-50, so I don't know what to do. I have been talking with my friends, and they say he's a bad dad. So is my dad a bad dad? I mean, we only have so much information on this, right? Yeah, yeah. So we can't give sweeping generalized advice or, you know, designations if someone's a bad dad. But before we give

our breakdown, love to hear what you guys in the comments think. This is one of our own. This is

from the okay gang. So let us know what you think your mom is Shrek should do. John, what are your

thoughts? Yeah, man. I mean, definitely like, so talking to your family saying it was 50-50. And once again,

you know, we're not experts, but of course you ask and we will always share our thoughts and opinions because we love you.

I think if there's 50% of the family that does agreeing basically that it's like not a good

environment essentially. That's I think what it kind of boils down to. Like I wonder if talking

to them more and seeing like, is there a way where like potentially
