Hi, how are you? Good. All right. So you send us an email with a with a

dilemma that you're in. And thank you for trusting us. Anybody else has any

dilemmas? You can always head up to birdshow.com and shoot us an email. And

essentially, you want to know, is it wrong for you to like your dad's mistress?

Yes. That's the dilemma. That is to the, okay, so break down how your dad ended

up with a mistress and what your mom and dad's relationship was like that was

what your mom and dad's relationship was like before that even happened.

Okay. So a little backstory on my parents divorced in 2010.

My dad got custody of us. But before that, every couple months, my mom would

take my brother and I and go move back in with her parents, my grandparents.

She was just, it was she was very unstable. And it was very,

I hit her miss. It was just tumultuous. So

they divorced dad got us. We saw our mom, but not very often because she was mad

that dad got us anyway. So two years ago, I saw a pregnant with a little girl

and my dad was like, oh, you have to name her Emily Grace. He just kept talking

about Emily Grace and like Grace. So one day, my mom was talking about

as an adult, I've tried to have a conversation. I mean, a decent relationship with my mom.

It's been hard. I've tried. So I was telling her that dad,

oh, dad loves Emily Grace. And she got furious. And she said, well,

your dad had an affair 25 years ago and that was his mistress's name.

Okay. Time out. Time out. Let that wash over everybody.
