so I'm going to tell you something that
could totally be misused and weaponized
and by the wrong in if if in in the
wrong
hands um and I'm putting it out here on
a public forum so I have no control over
how this will be used but I'm praying
that nobody will misuse this information
children always want a connection to
their parent always even if the parent
is abusive even if the parent is is
thick even if the parent is
terrible children want a connection to
their parent sometimes the parent is so
unhealthy that the child can't have it
it's just not practically feasible but
in an Ideal World the child wishes they
had it and the proof is that even a
child who's estranged from a parent for
their own safety um has this void they
wish they could have that connection
because a child's connection to a to a
parent is so deep it never goes away
doesn't matter how old you are doesn't
matter how successful you are doesn't
matter what what you've done outside of
the family we're all children we never
really grow out of that we always want
Mommy and Daddy um I don't mean it in an
infantile way I mean there's just this
core Bond uh to the extent that you see
people who don't have a relationship
with their parent uh even when it's by
their own choice because like like I'm
saying saying they're protecting
themselves from like a toxic situation
it's not just they get over it and li
dah they move on there's there's this
gaping void where they wished they had
that relationship that there's a there's
an empty space where that relation
relationship is supposed to be why am I
saying this I'm saying this because many
many times I've had parents who will say
to me my kids are all grown they're
married um and we don't have a good
relationship I regret a lot
well is there even hope and I'll tell
them there's always hope because a child
always wants a relationship with their
parent they never get over the need to
have a relationship with their parent
now sometimes a parent has proven
themselves to be so unreliable and so
emotionally
dangerous
that the child the adult child was just
not going to be able to trust enough to
let the relationship be rekindled
but there's always hope there's always a
possibility
because children no matter how grown up
they are never get over the need to be
bonded to their parents so I don't want
to weaponize this I don't want any
because you understand how somebody like
cynically could misuse this information
basically they could hear this and say
oh so I can get away with murder for 40
50 years and then whe When I retire I'll
turn around and I'll go to my kids and
be like Daddy's home like that's this is
not that this is not what we want people
to do well what I am saying is after the
fact if it already
happened I've seen it firsthand front
lines even adult children who are
themselves in their 40s 50s 60s uh and
their parents who are
seniors
will restore the relationship make real
amends real apologies not self-serving
apologies
um yet not only can there be a
relationship again the craziest thing
there's so much healing that comes from
it for both of them but more
interestingly for the
children like You' be shocked how I had
one situation a woman told
me that her mother a woman who I think
she's in her 30s her mother's in her 60s
her mother changed her parenting style
even though all of her kids were grown
up and out of the house and the the
daughter says her husband came to her
and said wow when your mother changed
her relationship with you our marriage
got better wow
even after you're fully grown yeah so I
saying like that parent child
relationship affects so many other
things like it was affecting the dynamic
in the marriage of the adult child you
probably didn't even know it of course
you didn't know it chilling knew it
after the fact when oh that was the
cause and effect what what happens in
that situation like in in that in that
kid what's happening when they repair
that relationship because the kid
listening to this there's going to be
some people that are going to buy into
this and understand and say yes there
will also be some people that are that
30 35 40y old with a very 40 your
parents quite old at that point and
they're like I've gone my whole life
without a relationship with my parent
there's no way I'm going to go back and
try to start building that again now I
don't see the benefit you know
unfortunately the ball's not really in
the court of the kid this is something
the parent has to do the parent is the
provider in the relationship so they
have to be the initiator and they have
to make the first move so let's say the
child has grown up and says you know I
would like a relationship with my parent
but if
the if the parent doesn't isn't isn't
mature enough to do it it's not going to
happen so really
the it's it's up to the parent to make
that decision that they want it to
happen but when they do want it to
happen it's so transformative it affects
so many other things your relationship
with your parents affect your entire
worldview yeah I i' I've heard uh from
like a a doctor he's done a lot of work
with the trauma research and if you look
at a household of a kid growing up and
the relationship with the parent and is
that house a safe space and does the
child feel safe when they come home and
is there uh is there trauma or no trauma
that impacts performance it impacts
relationships I mean for like years and
years and years because what that trauma
and I'm I'm not the doctor and I don't
have the medical sources to site this
but what he is stating is that that
trauma turns into this subconscious
almost operating system that's running
in your head all the time and OB and
then again he he has a formula that he
tries to sort of fix that guess what
therapist would do as well but uh he
says this this can run your entire life
he saw with his wife who had some sort
of physical autoimmune reaction because
of trauma that she experienced as a
child it's I think it's in incredible
and also very scary how much that
relationship and that home can impact
how much impact because it's like you
know we have an effect on any human
being that we interact with to some
extent and we have a responsibility that
the interaction should be a positive one
but nothing compares to the amount of
influence that we have on our
children nothing I mean to make or break
this human
being there's there's a unique amount of
influence that a parent has in a child's
life
what the ironic thing is you know a lot
of times we're talking about people who
are navigating toward that wrong North
Star um a lot of times people get rich
sort of um incidentally they weren't
trying to get rich I think that
sometimes the only way to get rich is to
not try and get
rich yeah sometimes the the money is
just a metric um they were trying to
become influential they're different
types of people but some people they
were they just they wanted I don't want
to say they wanted power because that
has a negative connotation but they
wanted influence and the irony
is that the most influence you will ever
have over a human being is over your
children so you set aside
that to try to
influence other
people it's ironic it is ironic hey this
is shase tab you were just watching clip
from this class if you want to get the
full context the full class that this
clip that you just watched was from you
