A parent and adult child clash over family choices. One blames the other for losing a daughter-in-law and grandchildren; the other says those comments make their future family feel unwelcome. Tension runs high on both sides.
Dakota, in my opinion, he robbed me of a daughter-in-law that I could torture, that I could literally torture. That is— I know, I know, but that's just how I am, Dakota. I'm just being honest with you. And I told you that. He robbed me of a daughter-in-law, of the typical family, you know, grandkids. And I know he said he's— he's gonna have grandkids and God knows I can't wait.
You already make my family that's for the future for me feel like it's less than. Oh, Dakota. It does. Dakota, it's not less than. Dakota, you're saying—
Dakota, it's not less than.
That is hurtful. No, it's not. Because you're saying, Robyn, and I know that you're, it's minimizing and I am whole. I will have a family that is whole. Nothing about me or the family that I have is anything less than some idea that you have in your mind about what it should be.
