In this short, the speaker addresses viewers who are struggling with a living parent who is emotionally unavailable. The speaker frames the situation as a choice between continuing to seek a relationship that the parent cannot provide and protecting one’s own health, growth, sanity, and security—especially for the speaker’s 13‑year‑old child. The advice emphasizes that as an adult, the viewer no longer needs to shrink, listen, or invite the parent into their life. Instead, they should assert that the parent’s love is no longer required, and the love the parent failed to give can be supplied by the viewer to their own child. The monologue is a direct, therapeutic call to set firm boundaries, prioritize self‑care, and focus on the wellbeing of the viewer’s child.

Chapters

I understand the dilemma you're in. It's when you have a parent that's still alive and you're like, but I want a relationship with you, but they're not emotionally available to give you the relationship you want. And so that's where you have to make the choice of, is it my health? Is it my growth? Is it my sanity? Is it my security for myself and my 13-year-old? Or is it me still being 13, reaching out, wanting my parents to be there for me? Yeah. It's time for you to make that decision. And when your mother comes with that fire that she used to and always done, that's where you're not a kid anymore. You don't have to stay and listen. Yeah. See, that's what you've been doing. You've been showing her, I'm still a kid. I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna shrink and I'm gonna listen to everything you say and I'm gonna keep hearing you and I'm gonna keep inviting you over. I'm gonna say, Mom, please come see my 13-year-old. Mom, please come. Mom, please come. No more. Mom, you don't have to come because I'm an adult. And you don't need to be here because the love you couldn't give me, I'm gonna give to my daughter. All right, you got it? Thank you.
