The son face when his mother said she was proud of him . I feel that's all he wanted to hear over the years .. all the sadness and anger went away when she said that to him
That’s part of the Culture as well! He’s certainly very entitled and been spoiled rotten his entire life.
Mother and son really love each other--that she wore a blue dress and the blue shirt!! They're going to make it
Best experience ever. My dad and i talk everyday now ❤
congratulations, that's really special
That’s so nice to hear 🙏I am glad everything worked out ❤
I dont know but the two friends at the end, got me bawling when they looked at eachother.
5 minutes is a long time
Agreed.
Lol. I couldn't stare that long. Maybe I can do 2min. 🤷🏾♀️
I wouldn't get to 1 minute. 😂😂
Depends on what you’re doing, but yeah staring without speaking for 5mins goes against our social training. Anyone will feel uncomfortable
It was haha. But unbelievably powerful, my father and I talk everyday now. We have repaired alot of wounds
The Dad ran away bcos he knew hed be judged & blamed for his wrong doings. He obviously wanted peace. He knew he blew it but his pride probably made him want to walk away. Rather than feel like a failure he mightve wanted a fresh start. We've all got 20/20 vision in hindsight they say. To take a situation out of the context of the time & place & try to apply the way youve grown & learnt back to those times is futile. Her Dad was younger & knew less about life & his values have changed a bit. It seems over time you can heal. Its no good trying to figure it all out & over analyse the past. Start afresh as the evolved people youve all become.
Sorry is such a powerful word...I wish my son could see this.😢
assume they can
ooooh my,,,,, some of us think we got nerves not to think about or talk to our father anymore because they ran from us but seeing this is something else. The courage to get in touch and bravery to tell him right in the eyes is special.....
When daughter and dad met. I instantly cried. I only wish to have the same experience with my own father one day. 🥺
Pfff, I have not cried so much in years. Here on my own, in my little room. I realize how much I actually miss my dad. I haven't seen him in 8 years. I might try to contact him again...
Beautiful
💚
Eduardo wasnt even crying lol his face was shaking with no tears 💀 meanwhile Hayley's bawling her eyeballs out
He was so sorry and guilty, they are true friends
9:26 this woman is control freak, she is living in Australia and not in China, of course her son is going to rebel.
Cannot stop watching 😢
humans are complicated and emotional
the new turing test
Did they planned to wear the same colour? lol
Best is to reconcile before either one passed on
Watching this makes me misses my only daughter very much. Ive not seen her for almost 6yrs. Im a single mom. I believe in do whatever we can while we are still kicking and breathing. Regrets wont bring you joy or happiness.
I think he chose that color subconsciously because he probably knows it’s his moms favorite color or something
I can’t stop seeing Piers Morgan in Shelley. 😭
I am estranged from my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, but the reality is that they were never my family. I knew this from Day One. This is why I believe in giving up your young children without judgement. If you don't "click" with your child, especially from Day One, you should be able to give them up, the sooner, the better.
that is the most horrible take ive heard in my life. Giving up your young children?? do you hear youself
I know this is 3 months late but really? If you don’t click with your baby just give them up ? I’m pretty open minded but wow that’s ,,,, different .
If somebody abuses their children, they should not only lose their children, but be "fixed" to never have any more children.
Powerful!!!
Kyle just have to express his feelings to home like an adult. You don’t have to be loud in order for your mom to hear you! Good luck to yours next chapter of relationship.
My suggestion is, that they get rid of the staircase. One day someone may miss their footing or tripped n fall.
This show is addictive for me
Lol can you imagine someone tumbling down? Omg
@@r.r911
Yes i can and that will be too late for regrets
@@r.r911 Coming episode
the grandma walking down the stairs but the grand daughter wasnt. She straight went for the chair
Oh this show makes me cry so much! My best friend growing up was male, my cousins, cousin in fact, so to me he was family even though not connected by blood we are connected through our soul. To this day my dearest friend in the world is a guy, we have known each other since babies, but become best friends when I moved to the same city as him when we were both 9. It’s been 45 years of friendship, and although he lives in Australia and I live in New Zealand we still get together and talk regularly. Our children are now very close and we try to have family holidays together and have seen half of the world as a big family. I’m so blessed to have him in my life, the best part, he married my twin flame best friend of 35 years! ❤ I’m so lucky.
Ooh how I wish I had this opportunity
Mother and son. Interesting dynamic. Mum clearly needs to learn how to listen and stop making excuses.
EDIT - Never mind with what I said below, she seems to actually respect her son's cultural preferences after I watched them do the experiment. I initially didn't think that'd happen since parents who hurt their children tend to not care about how they feel at all.
8:53 maybe she should've learned to let her son do what he wants to do instead of forcing him to be like her. She should learn to let people be.
Chinese/aussie accent, that's a first for me
Its sad that the boy doesn't even visit. Maybe just immaturity or part of growing up? I understand cultural difference's, so have your own life -but a phone call and visit won't kill you. You only have 1 Mum.
I’ll never understand moving to another country and insisting on having the culture you left behind. Why ?.. just stay where you are
Exactly.
compassion and maybe a little understanding that your upbringing is different to another's, goes a long way towards not coming across as a bigot
I don't know if that's a fair comment. Always put yrself in the others shoes. I'm Australian, if for some reason like work for instance meant I had to move to a foreign non Emglish speaking country like Vietnam or Spain, I'd do as much as possible to embrace their language & culture but I know I'd be asking where are the Aussie ex pats? I know I'd probably divide my time between the 2 cultures. .
They move to a western country for the financial benefits for themselves..... not for the Beauty/Cultural experience of the Western country they chosen.
@@valeriegood8427 I'm what you can call an expat since I live in a different nation having married a man from here. And yes, your heart will forever be divided because you belong in both places. You learn the language, eat their food, embrace thier culture as much as possible but you'll never be one of them. You'll have a heart dividend in two homes. Beautiful and daunting at times, also complicated when you have kids.
I guess a very important question is whether Dad is still drinking or not?
He got you a ranch and a life ,,,,,that is. Not an example of someone who didn’t handle stress!,
Farmers aren’t stressed, I live in a small farm town. They become alcoholics because they have a lot of free time. The weather quite literally does their work
Kyle must have become too Americanize too quickly and he could be too entitled.
Well if he was born In Australia, he’s going to act Australian! It gave you a better life Jenny!
Eduardo is drop dead gorgeous
Not every male wants to be a father
you mean shelly and mick? then he shouldn't have had 3 children lol. not every male deserves to be a father is what i would say, although as of where i am in the video it doesn't seem like he fits in that category really. idk the specifics but he seemed like a decent dad before he left (im at just before they look each other in the eyes) rather than abusive. i do hope they can rekindle and stay in each others' lives though now that they're together again.
That’s a man who was not appreciated
So his purpose was gone,,, and the nxthing was drink to pretend like that didn’t happen
If Eduardo has dark skin, then............
Australian Chinese Tyler! The spirit dude from the usa! Id love to see tyler giver carl a reading🎉
Kyle just have to express his feelings to home like an adult. You don’t have to be loud in order for your mom to hear you! Good luck to yours next chapter of relationship.
