her son has valid points though.
its not enough to just say "im sorry" for something like this and that seems to be the extent of what Mo has done ...from what I can hear from her own words.
she says "i apologized for ALL of it" which is great.
but he said something so powerful in this video:
"standing in your truth doesn't make you noble."
he is a very smart and very articulate man. he's literally saying that simply admitting your wrongs doesn't give you a gold star of some sort, and a free pass, and everything's better now cuz you admit you did wrong.
not for something as huge as parenthood, and how it can affect your children.
my father made some mistakes in the past.
but he's shown me that saying "my bad" isn't ALL that he feels he has to do. he makes an effort to be there, to come to me. to approach me, to extend as many branches as he can to me, as often as he can.
there's a certain recognition on his part that even though I am an adult now, i am still his CHILD. and thats how he handles me. like i am his child. not like we're on some sort of equal playing field , where one side is waiting for the other to make the first move.
this is what this handsome young man wants from his parent. not just "sorry bout that lol but call me whenever you ready to move forward <3 im here when u ready"
