This woman is amazing, stronger than her obstacles, and full of love for those who are lucky to call her theirs. I have to give huge props to her husband too though, my father made the same choice - the drinking is getting him nowhere and he was strong enough to admit it and face it head on for his family. The day my mom told my dad no more alcohol or it's over is the day he had his last drink. That was around 1979, and he just passed away in 2022, having never drank again. I was born in 1981 and he was my superman, my hero, the rock of our family. This man needs some pats on the back as well. Its notnwasy being the new husband, the stepdad, and basically married to a widow. I'm also a widow, and I know how hard my fiance has it. Only a strong man can walk that path and I'm glad this amazing woman has a man like him by her side to help her navigate thr future with her son. Congrats to all of you for doing it anyway!!!!

[@AndreDMalan1966]

Thanks for the last bit. It will be very helpful to others. I was in a 20-year relationship with my partner. He was verbally and emotionally abusive but never physical (although he did threaten to use guns and knives). He was diagnosed with end stage renal failure just when I was finally ready to leave. Of course I stayed and took the best care of him I could. He lived another 5 years and I have never witnessed such suffering. I often wished he would die, mostly to end his suffering but also to relieve my stress. Yet, when he died, I was DEVASTATED. It took me years to come to terms with his death, and in this time I realised that it was about losing a way of life (used to it even though it was flawed), needing to start over at 43, rediscovering myself, and grieving what could have been but never was. Her sense of loss was real.

[@salma_Nella22]

He’s right though. When you say “I hope not” it makes it sound like “you definitely will but I HOPE not” which makes it sound like it’s more about good luck than him being in control of his own life. That child is smart, and by her saying “no, I’m with you, you’ve seen how this all ends and this can be prevented because you have support and my love” that sets a whole different tone. I wouldn’t feel safe hearing “I hope not”. I was molested by someone and I told my mom. If I asked my mom “is he going to touch me again” and she says “I hope not” I wouldn’t feel good about that

John was right.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The entire basis of the show is these people call to get John’s opinion of how he recommends handling something. If she disagrees she isn’t required to do what he recommends. But his advice makes sense because there’s validity to what you say to him and the effects it has on him and changing that answer doesn’t teach her son not to talk to her. As a young child giving him some assurance that he isn’t doomed to the pattern of suicide that he’s noticing and hope as he moves into his future. And maybe as he gets older and more fully understands these things you get more in detail with this thing when he’s at a stage in his maturity and mental development that he will better understand that he isn’t just doomed to this path because at a younger age the truth may not be what’s best for where he’s currently at. There’s merit to telling the full truths as much as you can but there’s also a lot of merit to explaining things to the extent that he is able to handle them healthily. It isn’t an uncommon thing for parents to explain things to their children in a fashion that’s appropriate for their stage of life and what they can healthily process and understand. It isn’t a black and white scenario of entire full truth or lies.

Ladies, pay attention to this situation described in this call. Caller got out of bad marriage in time. Luckily her 2nd husband is a LEO. Ex-husband specifically picked this mother & son combo BECAUSE the two sons were close friends. Ex-husband wanted to murder ex-wife & bio-son, but he couldn't get close to them because of the LEO husband, so he found substitutes instead for his twisted revenge. I disagree with caller, ex-husband did not love his own son because he planned to shatter his son's world anyway he could.

And that’s okay.

[@henxinggan]

Everything that I have read and seen about psychology and psychological conditions says that you can't control the way you feel, but it's your job to control how you react those feelings. You can feel super angry but that does not mean you get to punch someone. Some people choose to do this and this is a bad decision. You might feel super happy and excited about going to a new place for vacation. Some people take out a butt ton of credit to make the ultimate dream vacation happen, even when they can't afford the payments afterwards. It's OK to feel excited about doing something like this, but it's a bad decision when some people choose to do to actually do it. I can't help but notice that she places appropriate and direct accountability on her current husband for feeling down and going to the bottle for comfort. She rightly calls it out as a bad decision in reaction to the feelings that he was having. For some reason she is talking like her ex's choice to end his life is something that happened to him when in reality this was his choice and he decided to take others out also. Death was not THEIR choice, it happened TO THEM. She should be speaking like this in regard to the victims. If she properly labels what her ex did as choices then it will be easier for her son to see that while he MIGHT struggle (likely not without the awful home life dad and grandpa probably had as kids), what goes forward from those feelings are choices. Some people don't make the best choices, but the great thing about being his own person is that he gets to make his own choices and gets to pick his own life. Then surround him with life stories from blood relatives who made different choices to show that just because you share SOME genes (son has half of your genes after all), doesn't mean you're a carbon copy. It's just a red flag to be aware of.

[@mightymouse1005]

I think until you've walked in her shoes and have completely perfected YOU verbiage and psychology, judgement should be reserved. This lady has gone through things most haven't. Has you ex murdered many people lately, do your kids have generational suicide to worry about. I find your comment a red flag.

[@storyof4twins815]

First one that has made me cry. She said, if my dad did it, and his dad did it, does that mean I'm gonna do it? I was 8 weeks pregnant with my sons when their dad committed suicide. They turned 4 this year, their birthday is 2 days different than their late father's birthday. This year a couple days after their birthday, their dad's brother committed suicide. I've tried to commit suicide twice. My mother told me not to name our older twin after their father for this exact reason. I am so not ready for these conversations and they've been haunting me since I was 8 weeks pregnant with them..... 😭😭😭 I just had a talk with my older twins who are autistic with adhd, about how their father was abusive and how I didn't "steal them" away from their father, he stole them away from himself with his own actions of abuse.... talking with kids is so hard.

Ideally no, but the son found the grandfather's picture and directly asked what happened to him. Very tough call, evidently she knew her son's capability to deal with tough facts. I do think more damage to her son was possible long-term if she'd lied or obfuscated the issue and he found out later.

[@firelordplayz]

One thing I never understood was this: Americans put soooooo much emphasis on all sorts of different therapies, psychiatrists etc. and yet they still end up being messed up afterwards in many cases. Why is that? In other countries going to a therapist is nowhere near as common and yet people are perfectly fine, happy and just carry on with their lives regardless of what kind of a trauma they went through. Maybe people in the U.S. should try to help themselves a little bit more rather than relying on a therapist to help them solve their problems? I currently live in the U.S. myself but was not born here so I definitely had the chance to see it from both points of view. On a different note, this guy looks exactly like Mark Cuban, I am just waiting for him to say: "And for that reason, I'm out!"

[@patriciasadlertrainor6771]

I do wonder how she is able to pay for so many therapists. It's very expensive.

[@Black.hole.]

I don’t think the issue is people seeking out help, and that’s a very dangerous narrative idea to push btw, but I think that American culture is so different than other cultures. It’s extremely violent, and there’s so much stigma and shame associated with EVERYTHING which makes it hard for people to want to reach out for help in the first place. We also have a government and political system that preys on people in lower socioeconomic classes, people can barley keep their heads above water. And then you have no time to process anything because everything is moving at lightning speed. People here (and all over) have REAL trauma without a lot of support.

[@CloakedC]

Be aware of how much related media you consume that's from each country. The difference that you notice might be less about numbers and more about how much is being made public or kept private. The other countries you are familiar with, do they lock away people who are mentally unwell, is there a stigma around talking about private trauma, how many people do you know from there who would be open to you about their issues? Also, are you sure that people still end up being messed up afterwards? You are mostly hearing the stories of people who have not had professional help, otherwise most would not call into these shows.

[@yesitsme6095]

There is nowhere on this planet were people are "perfectly fine."

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I mean seeking therapy is absolutely not an explanation for every issue that occurs. There’s of course cultural differences and how that impacts people.
