ive been in and out of therapy myself since i was 12. I had a traumatic childhood and have anxiety & depression & border line personality disorder. So for me i need to learn to cope with all my emotions. As a family we are open with our feelings and solving issues with eachother. My brother and sister see their own therapists dealing with their lives. Therapy is a such a helpful outlet!!!!

I sorta went to a therapy with my mother. Sort of, meaning it was more of like a spiritual therapy because I’m telling you only God could of heeled and fix me and my mothers relationship, haha. It was that bad but I am so thankful for it because now as an adult I get to hug and kiss my mom and be vulnerable with her. It was something I wish I could do as a child but we were both so hot temper so it was crazy. But yeah I am so happy to see you guys took this step and it looks like it’s going in the right direction.

I feel like Mamma Mai needs to first go for therapy on her own, with a Vietnam therapist with whom she can speak her own language with. Because I feel like there's a lot that she needs to unpack, and language (English) is a barrier, so she could be struggling to share her true and deep thoughts/feelings/emotions thoroughly. Having a session where she can open up in her own language could take us a step forward.

I think that Mama Mai was raised in such a way that her voice was never heard and this has been ingrained in her. It's not that she doesn't want to understand Jennie, she can't. It's the way her mind functions. She also feels like her daughter doesn't understand her. They are both seeking to be understood. Mama Mai: raised in a culture where emotions are not considered as much. Parents are not supposed to be challenged and certainly not infront of other people. She feels violated and helpless. She feels bad for not understanding her daughter so well so she blames herself. She feels as though she's a bad person. Jennie: Has had exposure to other ways of thinking. Her mom's behavior is deeply affecting her coz her mom is the one person she is mostly close to and proud of. She yearns for that validation, understanding and acceptance from her mom. But she is not fully aware that her mom cannot give to her something she doesn't have. Her mom was never validated or accepted by her parents/father. So all of these are foreign concepts to her. I feel like both Jennie and Mama Mai need healing. Mama Mai especially. Sometimes we think the effects of abuse are shortlived but that's not true. Mama Mai is still affected by her past life of abuse. I appreciate their transparency coz it's also helping us make sense of the things we are also facing

Mama Mai doesn't know how express her feelings because growing up she wasn't allowed to, hence, she doesn't allow her daughter to express her feelings also. She is a good woman but she is hurting as much as Jeannie. This world of feelings and affirmations is very new to her. She feels helpless especially since many people will see this, which completely demolishes her concept of motherhood; being respected, regardless. And all these comments may be worsening her feelings of helplessness and feeling like a bad person. Coz she doesn't understand this the way we do. So it's the world against her. So let's be sensitive to her as much as we are sensitive to Jeannie

I feel like Mama Mai needs to go to therapy on her own, one on one with a counselor/therapist first before trying to go to therapy with her daughter. Based on what I’ve heard, it sounds like she has a lot of deep rooted issues from her past with her father (understandably so), that she can’t seem to let go of. Each time Jeannie tries to explain her feelings, Mama Mai finds a way to make it about herself and focuses solely on how Jeannie made HER feel. She’s not even trying to understand her daughter’s point of view. What’s crazy is, I definitely believe the way Jeannie feels about her voice being unheard and her feelings being uncared about are the same feelings Mama Mai felt growing up with her own abusive father.. there’s so much healing to be done. Praying for the both of you to come out of this stronger and closer with a healthier relationship and a better understanding for one another. 🙏🏼❤️

Bottom line as an outsider: Mama Mai needs her own therapy to heal her toxic behavior that has affected her children. In the meantime, she needs to treat her children like the adults they are, which means she doesn’t need to be in their business, she doesn’t need to gauge her being older equates to her being better. And to recognize Jeannie behaves that way cause of her but it’s an excuse to want Jeannie to not be around (wedding etc) so she won’t be like her. The best way is to see changed behavior. Lastly, they’re both repeating the scenario which includes layers of their issues, but Mama Mai is 100% wrong. She wanted Jeannie to speak up to outsiders, but not to family whose disrespectful. Mama Mai is inconsistent. Mama Mai believes it’s her way or the high way, even if it’s based off her childhood trauma, that’s the reality. I can say this because I have a Mom that behaves this way and I had to separate myself for my own peace of mind and sanity. ❤️

I agree. It was triggering to see how MM expects Jeannie to calmly discuss the issue privately, while openly defying Jeannie's wishes after being asked 3X to not invite randoms. MM wants to be respected, listened to and doted on while not giving the same back, which is extremely selfish, no matter how they want to sugar-coat it. Being better than her father is an accomplishment, but not the yard stick she should be measuring success with.

“You can always cut me off at any time” - I think that line is a breakthrough in of itself. Mama’s reaction to cut ties only worsens Jeannie’s thoughts regarding feeling unimportant and unheard. Knowing someone is willing to leave instead of just validating your right to your own feelings can never give participants in the relationship a sense of stability, comfort, and safety. I love how Mama said “I hear you” near the end. That’s such a great start to breaking the cycle.

Those of us here berating Mama Mai and saying Jeannie should cut her off should take a second look at what’s happening here. Mama Mai is a broken woman with so many bleeding wounds from her own relationship with her parents. She’s carrying too much baggage and so it’s not that she’s toxic with her daughter. She just can’t give what she doesn’t have. Until she heals from her own situation with her parents, she will never be able to give Jeannie what she’s looking for or need from a mother.

And for anyone reading who may not get it... the first hurt is an adjective as in “a hurt person” and the second hurt is a verb as in “hurting people”. A rewrite would be “a hurt person hurts other people”. She never resolved her own shit, never learned the emotional tools to communicate better, and passed all of that down to her own daughter.

My mom (rest in peace) was abused as a child and the fact that I worked in a hospital and had the resources my mother did not at my age helped me understand and have compassion for my mom.

I just want to say...not that I'm an expert or this is my experience and I know stuff. I understand the Covid quarantine. But I think the thing that some people forget is that the mental part of this virus is a part of it. I work in long-term care and the mental stress of being cut off from people is way worse than you can imagine when you see it firsthand. So for mama she probably is thinking well these people are here for them I want people here for me. I'm not going anywhere I'm not doing anything. I miss being able to do this that have people that I want to be around be around me for me. I feel like that's what that was yes this is your event but what about me? You have your own life you go do your own thing and I'm just here. I'm not saying it's right I'm just saying I get it. And I also get what she saying she feels like because she is an angry person her being around them at the wedding can become toxic and she doesn't want that. And not to mention not only did she get yelled at in front of people it was specifically THOSE people. S you yell at me in front of the new "mom/girlfriend" and it makes me look bad. Like she's a better mom a better wife/girlfriend or a better person so it wasn't just oh you embarrass me cuz you yelled at me you it was because you yelled at me specifically in front of these people. Had it been the two sons and the neighbor probably wouldn't have been a big deal but because it was those people. And that really hurt her deeper than she would probably let (HER PRIDE) any of them actually know because it results in her dealing with her own feelings of inadequacy which is why she can't just let it go. So rather than having to deal with the embarrassment of that of people looking at her of people talking about her and whispering in the corner and whatever she just doesn't want to be around any of them. But I watched that video again and she did actually say she was wrong for bringing people in whatever so I don't understand why the argument continued I guess we all don't accept apologies unless they're in a form that we expect. If a husband does something wrong and the wife comes home and there's a dozen roses on the table he's apologized but that may not be what she wants maybe she wants him to sit down and look her in her face and say I'm sorry I made the mistake of a b and c I apologize to you for that because that's what she expects.

Some people will never understand how hard it is for first generation immigrant parents to grasp these ideas and self-reflective ideas. Although Mama Mai didn’t do a 180 in just one therapy session, we all gotta remember she has patterns of her own that needs to be undone. 40+ years of patterns. I can totally relate to Jeannie and I just hope they can one day see eye to eye 💜

Yeah! To my understanding, Mama Mai had a terrible childhood due to her abusive father. However, instead of being victims, she needs to grow and learn from it. Carrying on the same cycle of treating her own kids in a similar way, won't help her heal, it'll only make her even more hurt. Jeannie is right! She needs to break that cycle so history doesn't repeat itself with future generations. What goes around comes around!

I come from a Haitian household so I completely understand the parent/child dynamics of first gen Americans and immigrant parents. I have empathy for mama mai, her reaction/feelings are cultural. It’s clear that she loves her daughter. She can’t be expected to think in an evolved way just because she’s living in the U.S.-she was raised differently. Evolving takes time, it can be a bumpy road. I commend her for cooperating and agreeing to therapy. I understand Jeannie as well. Happy to see them mending their relationship.

I really do hope and pray that you two continue to grow closer together with the great amount of love that you two clearly have for each other 💖

Very true. Any time a child is not free to express anger, sadness, etc. it teaches them to suppress emotions at a young age and practically stunts emotional development. I remember on the early days of The Real, I always felt Jeannie was disconnect emotionally from the other co-hosts because at first she wouldn't cry and express emotion the way the other girls did. She seemed to get better with time. Now it makes sense why she was like that. I can relate to this so much....and my mom and dad were both walled off emotionally ... so I had a double whammy.

Whoa that's so cool (or maybe not when you're in the actual situation haha). Waiting for the day I can do that with family. When they are ready or if that day may even come. Either way, you can do it! Baby steps! The goal is to not run away from our emotions, wanting to do something about it (or sometimes doing nothing in the situation is also doing something). Avoiding or suppressing our feelings is definitely way worse. In being able to gradually sit in your emotions, eventually being able to accept/tolerate them, it doesn't mean you aren't supposed to get mad or emotional anymore. It's being able to learn not to constantly rely on old habits in the avoiding/suppressing emotions. Though our feelings are fickle and we may fall back on old habits, the strength to face our emotions is a healing experience :) Baby steps as we try to learn this dance

This event was an event planned by Rosalie to celebrate Jeannie and Jay engagement. Jeanie and Jay engagement, which is a very private affair, being celebrated in the covid context. Being that the event was a celebrating of an event in their life, and as celebrities, they want privacy and should have the right to determine who should be present in this celebration. They should not have to allow strangers to be invited to celebrate with them. This becomes even more important in the context of covid, where they do not know these strangers and their health behaviours and status. Jeannie didnt want to be exposed potentially to strangers who she didnt know and dont know their status or who they were exposed to. She let her mother know multiple times before the event. Her mom should have respected that decision. And it was not strictly a couples event, Jay's daughter was there. Also, Mama Mai knew everyone there so it is not like she needed to bring people to talk to so she wouldnt be lonely. She is a grown woman who needs to be held accountable for irresponsible and selfish behaviour. She also needs to get out of her feelings and see how her behaviour is toxic and hurts other people. Not even kids get their way all the time, so why should she for an event she didnt plan that was not about her?

They probably need to address the elephant who is NOT in the room. ie. Mama Mai's father. Mama Mai said that she hates him. She blames him for her temper. She said that she will never talk to him again. Jeannie wants to stop the generational pattern, but a part of the generation is being looked over. If the grandfather is still alive, then the chapter cannot be closed unless they deal with the way they react to him or about him. I think they need to deal with their relationship with him first so that they can move on and deal with theirs. Just an opinion. I am no therapist. I may be wrong.

She seems very easy to talk to and really helps guide the session. When mama Mai brought up how she see's herself in you and that's her fear, that was a HUGE breakthrough! It shows that she doesn't want to cut you off to hurt you, she just doesn't want you to end up like her, which is very impressive for her to be aware of! She probably feels a lot better since cutting off your father and now is worried that the same thing is going to happen between you and her.

@Margaret Kpeh How dare you say this is staged? Is this bizarre? Don't people experience these things in real life? Just because they are open and vulnerable to share it with the public don't mean it's staged. Stop with the conspiracy theory.

@@anndiestephen7671 We won't really know if it's staged, but the effort to edit and layout the video (solo cuts to another person's listening face when someone else is speaking, caption bubbles, etc.) definitely tries to capture an essence of "family drama for TV". It's following the production flow of any E! or Real Housewives product. Yes, the tears and hate and anger discussed are theirs and we are not denying the validity behind them. But there is an element of awareness that more drama, more raw emotion, means more views. That being said, Jeannie is pretty open and engaging with viewers in her comments and lives, so if sharing her relationship issues on YT is a way to both earn money and shade her story, so be it. All the power to her! I think it's great she's highlighting the cultural faults in this situation as well, and it's nice to see many young women from multiple backgrounds understand or relate with each other. Personally, I think the therapist is meh. Her California valley girl accent gets in the way of her trying to sound empathetic even as she slows her words down... If anything she sounds like she's talking to a toddler or is about to read astrology for a $25 Amazon giftcard. That being said, for some people I think you need that level of simplicity to gently mirror and probe that introspection (especially for Mother, in this case). On the Avenue of KZbin, I guess it's the perfect fit.
