The fact that you can acknowledge that things you said to your kids were sometimes taken differently than you intended and that you validate your kids’ experiences is sooooo refreshing. So many parents refuse to do. You’re the best, Jerry!
We NEED an update on the proposal story!
On the story with the sons father, who just got out of prison, I disagree with Jerry. If you choose for him to come back into his life, DO go through the court system. It's hard and exhausting, but it will do at least 2 things. The first one is that it will show you if he is even serious about being his your sons life. He left once he is likely to do it again. The second one is that you will have court ordered rules for how to begin. That's where you keep track of everything. Like if he shows up, if he skips visits all the time, and if he is putting in the effort.
Having him in your sons life is only beneficial if he is safe with your son. You have concerns about his treatment of your four year old. So please keep him monitored until he can prove he is a safe person.
For both of my children's fathers I did this. They are more than welcome to come back into their children's lives but they need to be consistent. They do come around once in a blue moon and attempt to make plans for a visit but no matter how flexible I make my children and I's schedules they can never stick to their own plans.
I had a friend whose dad was in and out of her life. She told me "I really wish he would have chosen one or the other (staying or leaving for good). But instead he came back around every 2 years just to prove to me that he didn't really care about me, he just wanted something from my mom or to play nice for his newest girlfriend."
On the storry with the JW guy having been a witness myself id say the best way to find someone is by volunteering at the conventions for maybe the cleaning services, or the literature distribution, or the parking lot attendants. Its a good way to help everyone and put yourself out there to meeting someone within the religion who should be in the same district since theyre all going to the same convention center. That way if you do spark up a conversation with someone and have an interest in them you can ask for their number or give them yours and then invite them to group congregation outings like the picnics or hiking (all in a group so they feel comfortable to attend) and this way you can visit their congregation or vic versa when/if things start to progress.
I’ve been thinking about what you said today, and the thing about it is this, I’ve done that parking attendant, literature, security, I was a ministerial servant, and even a commuter bethelite, it just never happened, I’m not sure what it is, I’m different I guess
I’m a single sister myself 39yrs old never married been baptized going 20yrs. I can definitely understand how this brother feels. It can be so lonely. I’ve actually had a crush on a brother in Broomfield Colorado area and I’m such a coward I haven’t been able to say anything to him
@@chantrellecrespin8114 you should say something!!! Take the opportunity before it’s too late, the worst he can say is no!
@@Brownbear502 I know that’s what everyone tells me. I’m just so scared 😟 he seems like such a great brother too
@@chantrellecrespin8114 do it!!! I would be flattered if a sister said she liked me!!!!!!!
This episode 👏🏻 I especially agree on your take with the mother in law… Last story, be patient. It will happen… like Jerry said there are many opportunities to meet someone, the thing is you have to be willing to put yourself out there. The moment I stopped looking and was content being on my own, my husband walked into our hall. With life going back to somewhat normal it’ll get easier to meet more people… you got this.
I’m 39 and a single sister and would love to meet a nice brother so your comment gives me encouragement ❤️ Welby Hills Congregation in Brighton Colorado
On the JW story, I am a Jehovah’s Witness also I found my husband by volunteering to learn a new language in one of our programs. I actually know about seven other people who met their SO by learning new languages and volunteering at our Convention program. There are so many great ways to meet other people with like-minded faith and as a woman I can attest to the fact that I was always more interested in men who were spending more time reaching out in the community. It doesn’t matter what someone’s looks like it matters who they are on the inside.
I love the oh well clause idea especially because I feel like Morgan says it a decent amount on the podcast in the same context
She lived the “Oh Well” clause, let me say she was not very fond of it.LOL
I’m 39f Jehovahs Witness and can say how hard it is being single at this age. ( I like someone in my faith but I’m a coward and couldn’t say anything.) we actually just started going back to in person meetings at the Kingdom Hall( church) and starting in 2023 so next summer we will have our annual conventions so hopefully this nice brother( what we call each other in our congregation men are brothers and women are sisters) so hopefully this nice brother will find someone there.
love this podcast
I’m surprised Jerry knew to call it a congregation lol
Oh this should be interesting!
Fun fact, my first major relationship (failed) was with the grandchild of Pickleball Ken who is like a huge ambassador for the sport in Colorado 😅
The man with the Bpd mother needs to realize she probably is incapable of admitting her problem and maybe even blind to it. You can try to help her get help, but it is unlikely to work and no one is worth harming yourself over. You may need to let go and go low/ no contact. It is not your problem to fix.
DID is a totally different kind of mental illness that is irreversible caused by severe trauma between the ages of 5-7. Just some balance-its not often helped easily with medication
We know jerry ,, you're perfect. WWJD. How does every story, River back to you being The most wonderful dad. No 1 is perfect. So please stop acting like you are.
