Nishay, 29, tells her mother Sharee she forced her to grow up too fast and favored her siblings. Sharee admits she was a young mother who placed adult responsibilities on Nishay and gave uneven attention. Nishay questions whether the apology is real.
Nishay, are you ready to talk to your mom now?
Yes.
Okay. Well, welcome everyone, Sharee, to the show. Sharee, thank you so much for being here.
Hi.
How are you feeling right now?
I'm feeling nervous and a little ashamed.
Okay, why are you feeling ashamed?
Because a lot of the things that my daughter said is true. I was a young mother. I was a young mother. I had a lot of kids to deal with at that time. And I did put a lot of things on her, responsibilities that should have been mine.
Has your mother ever acknowledged this before?
No.
Never?
Mm-mm.
Your daughter's here crying because she says she's never heard that from you before.
You know I love you, baby. You know I love you, Nisha. You my firstborn. You my first child. You was like my little mini me. I was not given a book on how to raise any kids.
Yeah, he wasn't giving up.
I did what the best that I could with what I had for you guys, but you could have gained more knowledge to do better. I am so sorry for everything that I put you through. What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to say? Sometimes I don't feel like your apology is genuine. I don't feel like you really mean that.
But you 25 years old, Neshay.
29, Mom. 29. I'm 29.
Well, part of this is, Cherie, you can't say to someone that just because they're older that they should get over it. Your daughter's pain from her childhood, which you acknowledge yourself was unfair that she went through this. You know that she went through stuff. She's still hurting. She said that there was a time in your life that you were at her award shows, that you were there with her, you did things and then you stopped. Why did you stop?
Because I had a busy life with raising kids and having to be there for all the kids that I had.
But she's one of your kids. So why did you stop? 'Cause your excuse is, and I understand that you were young and you went through, you were trying to figure it out. But you said you were there for the other kids, but she's one of your kids. Why did you stop with her?
Like— Probably because I had men in my life too that—
Yes, and that was one of my big problems.
Men played a big part in my life.
Yes, and you showed them more attention than you showed me, that's for sure. You know, I needed you in my life. I needed you, like, to be there for me, to build me up, not break me down.
