You two are in a really bad momentum,
you've got a relationship pattern going
that's not at all constructive.
It's like rerouting a river,
it's really hard to reroute a river.
It's just flowing, and flowing,
and flowing and that has to change.
You two do need a break from each other in my opinion.
I think if you two were to go home together--
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
Be meltdown city.
I don't think we'd make it to the airport.
No. No, no way, we wouldn't.
No, it'd be a meltdown city.
So, I have something that I wanna suggest to both of you.
I wanna add to the conversation,
Kristen Hayes, she's right here.
Say hi, Kristen.
Hi.
She's the Outreach Director
from a place called Turn-About Ranch.
Turn-About Ranch is I think one of the most terrific places
in the country and it's a place that kids can go
and really focus on themselves in a really positive way.
Kristen, I think it's a,
this is a really working ranch where real values are taught
to create real lasting change
and they combine therapy and academics and hard work
to achieve really powerful results.
And it's a chance for you to go somewhere
and really be selfish on your own behalf
and really close the gap on school
and get that under control.
I think that you guys could really help her get caught up
and get focused on who she is.
Do you agree?
Definitely, I agree.
Turn-About Ranch is an exceptional treatment program
for adolescents struggling
with behavioral issues like Tessa.
Set on an actual working ranch
and removed from all this chaos,
she'll learn values like honesty, and integrity,
responsibility while going to school and doing ranch chores
and receiving clinical therapy.
Turn-About has helped a lot of young girls find
a sense of purpose and develop self-worth
by removing the pressure to act older
than they really are, she's only 16 years old.
And importantly, Turn-About will also work with the family.
This to me is as I said,
I don't ask myself why Tessa's doing what she's doing,
I ask myself why not.
This family situation is toxic and I think she could go
and do all of this work and come back home
and it wouldn't be worth anything.
Yep, that's exactly how it would be.
If you don't work just as hard as she's working.
And so I have--
'Cause I wanna be honest,
'cause I honestly gave up on,
after you kicked me out I gave up.
I did not,
I was like screw this, I'm not working on.
I'm not trying, I no longer wanted to work things out
between us. You need to stop and listen.
I would have rather just stayed there
Listen. where people care.
Listen.
Okay, let me finish.
I have arranged for a program for you as well,
in Nashville, Tennessee.
It is a program at Onsite which is really focused
on people that are really suffering
from trauma and chaos.
It's built around parenting and family.
And I have made arrangements for them to work
with you there while she's
at Turn-About Ranch working there.
Because this is not all about her
and we consider Onsite to be a really trusted source
for people that are struggling with all of these issues.
You are burned out,
I mean you are absolutely at the end of your rope.
And they really put together custom designed protocols
and workshops for people that really need
to hit the reset button
and get a plan for life going forward.
