It’s Been 32 Years, Is My Neighbor My Pops? 🕵👀 | KARAMO

You are my mom. I knew it, Kayla. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

I knew it.

I'm so happy. I'm so glad this is over. Oh, goodness. I'm glad this is over.

Before I even get to this, before I get to this, Tyrell, something just happened there that I just witnessed has been a pattern in the way this relationship has worked. You heard the pain, we heard her crying, we heard what she's saying. And when the information was presented that you actually are the father, we have the proof, you did not get up to run to your daughter. And this has been a pat— No, I gotta say this because this has been a pattern and this is what's hurting her. Can you switch positions?

No, I'm gonna step out.

Oh yeah, no worries.

Because the focus.

Yes, thank you for that. I appreciate that.

I told you, baby.

I told you you was a baby.

I told you that. You don't need nobody to—

I told you that.

You gotta believe me. You gotta believe me. It's me you supposed to believe, not nobody else.

But this is the question for you because now that we have this information, I know how you already feel about this. I know how you feel, but now we gotta start going to the 8-year-old little girl. Before you came out here, some of the things that she said to me that I wrote down is, "Why do I have to prove I belong? Am I worth it? Am I worth your love?" These are things. "Why didn't you come and find me?" I'm listening to the language you're using. And in the moment when you found out for sure, no more questions, why didn't you get up? Why didn't you show her? Why didn't you do this? This is what she's been looking for her entire life. For you to show up. And in this moment when you had the proof you didn't do it, and I need to figure out why so that you can understand your behavior.

'Cause all while I was trying to give her my love, I was always pushed away, pushed away, pushed away. I always come to see you. When you was a baby, I was always there.

But it was other people like, "No, you know, don't do this, don't do that." But Tyrell, in this moment right here, nobody was here that was blocking you and stopping you. I watch your actions. And so the thing is that I can acknowledge the past, but we also have to be aware of the present. And I get how past behaviors can affect us, but this moment right here when you had the proof that this was your girl, I need you to acknowledge that I should have jumped up and came to you.

I've been jumping ever since I knew she was conceived.

But she, you haven't. You haven't. I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, you gotta break that narrative in your mind because your daughter, has just told you that she needs to heal that little 8-year-old girl inside of her. You were not there for her the way she needed you to. Yeah. Can you apologize to her for that?

I'm so sorry, baby. I should've tried harder.

I love you. Did you hear what he said? 'Cause I need you to receive that. I'm here.

I can accept that.

I'm here.

'Cause I'm gonna be on him like white on rice. You better answer that phone.

No, but I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you said that. Because before we understood if you were her biological father, there was a reason I asked you I asked you a specific question, which you said, "I wanna connect with him if he is my father." And I asked you specifically, "What does that look like?" You said to me, "I need him to call me. I need him to know the details of my life, which means paying an active role in listening. And I also want him to know that I need to trust that I can fall on him." Those are your words.

You know you can.

Talk to your father about those things.

You know you can.

She doesn't know.

I want you to get to know the 8-year-old that you missed, the 9-year-old that you missed, the 20-year-old that you missed, because she is 32 now.

Well, I won't miss no more.

And everything that you missed built me to who I am now.

Yeah, you strong.
