Well then my next part of my Question plays right into that where I need guidance. She's have facing some health issues, and I don't want to be heartless.

C (5:49)

We've not talked, okay, Stephanie, that's her business. That's her business. You can. Your husband had mental issues and everybody's got an issue. But there's no reason you should tolerate abuse because she has issues.

D (6:04)

Okay.

C (6:06)

If she wants your help and support, she's going to have to straighten out her act. Don't tell me about being heartless. You have a right to protect yourself. You should have learned that in your marriage.

D (6:17)

Well, with everybody but her. So I hear you about not moving. Moving past, responding out of guilt. Yeah.

C (6:28)

That stops. It doesn't help her become a better person, does it?

D (6:34)

No. In fact, I see her use those dynamics on other people, and it. They don't tolerate it as long as.

C (6:41)

I have, then you're not helping her be a better person by tolerating it.

D (6:46)

Got it.

C (6:47)

Your job is to help her be a better person. Forget about if she has a health issue. Everybody does have some health issue. She'll have to figure that out. But she's not going to be able to rely on you while she abuses you. No.

D (7:05)

So, like, I divorced my husband, but I can't divorce my daughter?

C (7:10)

Actually, you can disengage until she comes to you with more humility.

D (7:19)

Humility. Okay. This is going to be a new adventure. I'm just. I'm following hard as we're talking.

C (7:31)

Well, if you want to be a good mommy, you have to stop doing what you were doing because it's. It's helping her become less quality a person.

D (7:41)

Yep. Okay. And it doesn't matter how grave the health. I mean, she could have cancer. She's going to go for tests on the 12th of the month.

C (7:55)

Yes. I'm sorry, but yes.

D (8:00)

Oh, I said it doesn't matter how grave the issue. I mean, she's potentially having.

C (8:05)

Yes. It doesn't matter how grave the issue. It's up to her to be. Show more humility and stop abusing you if she wants your help.

D (8:13)

Okay. All right.

C (8:15)

And you can say that right out. Hey, if you want me to be helpful, the abuse has to stop. Use the word abuse. You've been abusing me for years. I'm not taking it anymore. I took it from your dad. I ain't taking it from you or anybody else. So if you want some help, straighten out your mouth. You don't think that'll shock her into submission? I do.

D (8:41)

Well, the only reason I don't is because when I pointed out with the last conflict, you humiliated me. You belittled me. And she told me, get tougher skin. So it just didn't.

C (8:52)

No, but you didn't do what I just said. You're reading her the riot act and pulling away. You didn't do that.

D (8:59)

Got it.

C (8:59)

If you want my help.

D (9:01)

Right.

C (9:03)

Abusing me is not how to get it. I won't be here to help you. I hope you have friends and neighbors, because you can't call on me while you're abusing me. It's over. Okay, so that is not you getting a thicker skin, is it?

D (9:20)

No. It's just putting on my big girl panties and being the mom that I know I should be or could be.

C (9:29)

Well said.

D (9:32)

All right. I have my marching orders, Dr. Laura.

C (9:36)

Yes, you do. You can always come and call me back.

D (9:40)

Alrighty. Thank you so much.
