But dad was not happy with Brooke,
but he will be happy with us. >> Taylor: Okay, I think
you're oversimplifying it just a little bit.

I don't think dad realizes that because life with Brooke
has never really been simple. I mean, it's always been, like,
one crisis after the next, one problem after another.
Anyways, that is in your past. This is your future.
And I think it's going to be amazing.

a lot with Brooke. So right now,
it's not going to feel like something to celebrate.

We would never let you down. You have a woman, right here,
who loves you more than anyone. Dad, we've watched you struggle
for years, rationalizing Brooke's behavior,
making excuses for her, trying to convince yourself
that everything is okay. But now it is okay because
you have people who truly want what's best for you and
care about your well-being. The strength of this family.
