Karamo mediates between Hope and her mother about the mother's choice to have her at 14 instead of pursuing adoption. The mother struggles to own the decision's impact on Hope's life, while Karamo pushes her toward accountability as a path to healing.
It's not like I tried to make your life miserable, Hope. It's not like I said, oh, I'm gonna have a kid at 14, I'm gonna make her life miserable. That's just what I wanna do. I cannot help what I've made and the choices I've made. I'm not perfect. But you could've made the right choices. I make mistakes. I make mistakes. I learn from them every day.
I definitely don't fall down the same footsteps you did.
You keep throwing it in my face. We can't move forward if you keep doing that.
Can you hear your mother right now when she says, I didn't, at 14, I didn't make the choice to make your life horrible? 'Cause at 14, that was an intentional choice she made.
No, I mean—
Can you acknowledge that at least, that piece? 'Cause I wanna make sure you get what you need, Hope, just to be clear. But I wanna figure out ways, small ways to give y'all on this step of healing with each other as you're looking for these answers.
Yeah, I get it. I understand her, but there was other options. Like people in the family had offered to adopt me because she was so young and she refused. She made the choice for me to have the life I had.
Got it.
