    YOUR soulmate is NOT married. NEVER hook up with a married person. No matter what their marital issues are. They are STILL married. Would YOU want someone to go after YOUR spouse? Then don’t do it to someone else.

      He screwed around with a married woman... while she is fully responsible for her behavior, so is he. Neither of these people are good people. Men AND women who engage in infidelity, immorality, and perversion are not capable of a "high quality life or family", clearly. Good luck to you in your pursuit, however I would suggest you learn to ID these sorts of massive red flags in a person. A man who would do something like this is not a man to build a life with, not by a long shot.

      I immediately thought of the episode where the husband called in about his son trying to kill his wife (the son's mom.) That sounds worse to me. But being in the middle of this situation, I am sure, is very overwhelming and feels like the end of the world. I feel for him.

      I think that’s a clue to how isolated he is. If work is his only social outlet, then he’s getting a false picture of humanity. He needs to connect with people, really connect on a deep level, with people outside of work. Maybe it’s through church, or AlAnon (if alcohol is involved), or Parents Without Partners, but here’s the thing - it needs to be in person, not online. He needs to really see and get to know these people week after week. He needs to break that isolation to get past his self blames and learn how to avoid another woman like this. I hope he does well, he seems like a good guy.

    Loved this guy’s “ok” after Dr. Delaney told him his dad left because of problems in his dad - not him - and that this lady stepped out because of problems in this lady, not him. He’d seemed desperate - like in despair until that “ok”. You could tell Dr. D. Really got through to him there. Even his voice sounded stronger with more conviction and confidence after that in this call. His vocal chords stabilized. Nice work. That “ok” was him accepting permission to take the focus off his girlfriend, off the mess, and out it onto himself, and it gave him choices - options suddenly seemed to open up for him.
    Dr. Deloney didn’t minimize his pain, he acknowledged the validity of the mess, the depth - out of compassion - but he wouldn’t let this guy stay there in pain.
    This is a beautiful call.
    What a brave soul.
    I hope he find the support he needs to get through this with those kids, and that it winds up for the best for the three of their family from here in our, whatever shape that family might take, so all can get healthier and stronger from it.
    Cheers.

And it teaches us how we can have the honor to be there for someone in our own lives at their most critical moment and hopefully help them find peace and their next steps.

    I’m actually really worried about Lainey’s kids. I’m sorry but their response to their mom is tragic and very telling about what they feel. If she doesn’t change things ASAP and learn new parenting skills (which is ironic because she works in mental health or something like that) if she doesn’t change things fast, she will ruin those kids.
    I had a mom like Lainey, and it was HELL. And to this day (I’m in my 30s) my mom could care less about changing still. I’ve given up on her being a mom in my life.
    I disagree with Dr. John when he said that her daughter is just 6 and doesn’t mean anything if she doesn’t want hugs and looks at her with hate.
    That’s a huge. There is a difference with a child who doesn’t want a hug because they are playing or whatever but when they don’t hug back when you hug them and they look at you with hate. No no no. That little girl is SUFFERING!!
    Lainey you need help ASAP. For you, your kids, your unborn baby, your husband.
    You can do it, you are strong. You can do it. Get help.
    Oh and Apologize to your kids. Own up your terrible behavior and tell them you’re going to do better. You gotta rebuild what you tore down. Your kids will start to heal.

      Agreed. I remember as a six year old not trusting my mother. I just didn't. And now it makes sense. Laine, if you get help first everything else will start falling into place. Please get help. The number one thing I wish was different in my childhood is that I wish my mother was happier. That would've taken off most of the problems of her behaviour...

      Why do some moms not get the memo that you give up self once they're born? She calls in crying, but the real victims are her children. Look, I'm sorry you were abused, but now YOU have kids and have become the abuser. I know "abuse" is a strong word, but they need your love right now and you're not giving it to them. What will this relationship be when they are 14, an emotional wreck, and need you the most?! At some point we gotta stop looking for the perfect answers in life and just make sacrifices for one another...especially for our kids and our spouses!

    • @kita3256
      @kita3256 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@jomontanee I don’t look at it as an extension. I say this because of experience, and Dr. John helped with his own limitations and expertise but those kids are not ok, and many of us that know that first hand can also give advice, not as an extension but as a help.
      This mom needs intense help. There might be undiagnosed mental illnesses, like depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, etc… she needs to heal and learn coping mechanisms. But she also needs to know that 6 years old CAN GET TRAUMA FROM HER YELLING, just like she said she felt growing up with her mom. Plus, John was trying to be nice to her because in other calls, he has said it the past that yelling and all that is abuse and causes trauma. I respect Dr. John but I would have been a little bit more brutal and upfront with her.

    Laynie, I would advise you to NOT comment to your daughter if she doesn't want to hug back. But keep on hugging her and telling her you love her, and affirm that you think she's wonderful. This is separate from correcting BEHAVIOR. And make sure she knows you want to protect her and it is always ok for her to come to you and ask about anything that's on her mind. And give yourself credit for everything good you've been doing now.

  • @AN-jw2oe
    @AN-jw2oe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I agree with Dr. Jordan Peterson… he says, don’t allow your children to become people you don’t like.
    If a parent does not like their children who are on the older side (meaning, not infant), I think often times it is related to their own failings at drawing and enforcing proper boundaries for their behavior.
    Also, I know she does not want to implement negative consequences in order to not make her kids fear her, but she is sadly blind to the fact that her constant anger and yelling is much more fear-inducing than any negative consequences that she could put into effect.
    The big difference between John’s daughter and Lainey’s daughter is that John’s daughter declines politely without any resentment or animosity, but it sounds like Lainey’s daughter does not ever have that love and connection with her. HUGE difference, I hope she is able to realize that and take the steps to change her behavior.
