Lo and behold, my wife's car come up missing.
So that's why it was hard for me to believe
that you didn't take it.
Because if you would steal her car,
why wouldn't you steal something else?
I don't really care for [BLEEP],, though.
We-- I see like she's trying to break us apart.
Like [CRYING]--
Take it all the way back to the beginning so he
understands about the women.
I feel like you put them first.
Before me.
One of the things she shared with me yesterday
was throughout her life that you always had women.
That the only reason they tolerated or put up with her
was to be with you.
And not because they really wanted to be involved with her.
I can see why she would feel that way.
You would feel that way.
I could see why you would feel that way.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Let's talk to her about being 22 and going
to the county hospital and picking up a newborn
whose mother was in jail.
Take her back there.
Dealing with trying to raise you hasn't been easy,
but I think I try.
You think you try?
Tell her what you had to do, how she used to smell.
Full of A&D ointment.
[CHUCKLES]
Why?
Because I didn't want you to get no diaper rash.
You know?
Struggling to comb your hair.
Oh yeah, I remember those days.
Times I didn't even have a car,
I would carry you on my back.
And sometimes I just feel like all
of that was just unappreciated.
What you need to understand is no matter
how much you did for her, she was a motherless daughter.
Tell her how it makes you feel.
In a sense, I feel like I failed you.
Yes.
There it is.
Forgive me for not showing you the love that you deserve.
You didn't fail me, dad.
So don't think that.
Give me a hug.
[SOBBING SOFTLY]
I love you.
I love you too.
Yes.
Exactly.
For years, they've lived a life of unrest
because they just didn't know they didn't have to play
the cards they were dealt. But now, with this new awareness
comes a new beginning and a new deck.
So I'm having each of them create
their own cards stating their commitment
to this village moving forward.
Dad, what's your new card?
Just being more open and receptive to my daughter.
And listening to what she says without passing judgment.
Hold him to that.
You know it.
And let's make no mistake about it.
This is going to be a lot of work for them.
Because what's their guarantee that if they go back and open
their door again, they're hard again, that you ain't
going to act a fool again?
OK?
Is that accurate?
That's accurate.
The past is over.
It cannot hurt you unless you recreate it.
Right.
Everything has to be different.
Do you have a request that you would make of your auntie?
Nothing right now.
Other than to forgive little Carla
for her past transgressions.
Yeah.
OK.
I apologize for the things that I
put you through in your household when you let me in.
I'm sorry for selling your TV.
And?
What else?
Stealing your cars.
And?
Come on, accountability.
This is what it looks like.
You can do it.
And taking your credit card and taking money out of it.
And the game stand.
Oh yeah, I forgot about those.
Forgive me.
Forgive me for those, too.
Daddy?
Oh you look so much better, what happened?
I mean your face is nice and bright and everything.
How do you feel?
I feel OK.
Doesn't he look better?
Is it just me?
Like something lifted.
Yeah.
In a sense, it did.
Yeah.
Excellent.
That's what a good conversation will do for you.
When it comes to the bad seed, the wild child,
we get so caught up in their behavior,
we forget how they be on the inside.
And when we look there, we have to take into consideration
everything from their conception to what they marinated
in in the womb to how they were seasoned and tenderized
in their environment, because all of that
goes into making a being in this human experience.
