She already has the immigration process started,

They have three kids together

Hello.

I'm Cheyenne.
This is my husband, Zach.
This is Ryder's dad, Cory. - Cory.
How's it going? - [laughs]
- I love that you're all here
because when all parents are joining these calls,
I always see the programs go so much better
because everyone's on the same page.
So we can get things started by first hearing from you guys
what your greatest pain points are as far as Ryder's sleep
is concerned, and also what your goals are.
- For me, Ryder has always struggled with sleeping
throughout the night.
She has a condition called VLCAD.
And as a baby, we had to wake her up every two hours to eat.
She still wakes up at least four times a night
on a good night.
- It messes with our sleep. We rotate.
If she gets in our bed, I end up in her bed, so...
- It's like a rotating, like, bed shuffling in our house.
What is it in your house?
- I mean, it's pretty much the same thing at our house.
It's a hot mess.
- It sounds to me that she is overtired,
which is, like, the number-one trigger
for night issues for all children.
So the number-one tip that I give anyone who's
dealing with any sort of sleep issues at night
is to make bedtime a little bit earlier.
So the more you guys can channel that energy for her,
the faster you'll see the behavior change because--
and I always say this-- after two years old,
so many sleep issues start becoming more behavioral.
And we can really help to change behaviors
if we are nailing timing, so getting her down
prior to the point of her getting overtired.
Because if she gets overtired, then what chemically happens
in her brain is cortisol is secreted,
which is what causes her to stay
fluttering in that lighter stage of sleep.
I would suggest you both get one of those Hatch lights
because what the Hatch light can do
is just be a very clear visual for her
about when it's time to be quiet and in her bed
and when it's OK to be up and leaving her room,
and everyone's waking up, and we're starting the day.
The visual cue for a child is huge.
How does she do with reward systems?
- She does great with reward systems.
- I would like the reward to be immediate each morning.
And then we will talk about a communication plan.
Because we want this to feel good
and exciting for Ryder, right?
Make it feel like she's part of it, and sleep is awesome,
and she's awesome, and she's gonna do a great job,
and you're her greatest cheerleader,
which is so, so, so important.
We don't want to be like, "Listen, Ryder.
"We're all exhausted.
"We are not functioning right now.
"And you need to get it together.
Otherwise--"
Like, that's not--we want her to feel like, oh, whoa, OK.
Yeah, I can do this.
And I'm going to be awesome and so cool
for making big sleeps all by myself.
- I just think--
I really feel like we should make it a fun meeting.
That's all I'm saying.

And we're not gonna know until we get back
in front of the judge.
And even now, I could say, like,
when it came to my community service
and when I started doing all of that [bleep],
I had every opportunity to start doing it way earlier.
And I came up with a bunch of excuses as to why I wasn't
doing it immediately or why I was taking
such long breaks in between community service days.
So I didn't handle my business the way
I was supposed to all the way.

- Hey. - Hey.
I was just checking on you after you had surgery.
And Victoria had mentioned some things to me.
- My arm hurts.
My back hurts.
- Victoria said that you wanted to go to a treatment
facility for pain management.
I just told her that you would have
to look up places that was best for you and do the work
and put the work in.
- I mean, I need something for pain.
But I'm willing to give it up to see my kids.
I'm willing to give it up to be in your life
because I can't have it around you.
- No. Or my kids.
I'm not even going to expose my kids to that.
- You telling me that I can't be around the kids
and do the medication, that's the motivation.
Because I want to see my grandkids.
I want to spend time with my grandkids.
- For you to be successful in your journey,
you have to want it yourself.
I mean, we can be your motivation,
and I respect that.
But you have to want to do it for you.
- Leah, whatever it takes, babe,
that's what I want to do.
- You first got to find a few places that you like.
- Well, your mother said something
or other about California.
- I love California.
- I hate California.
- Oh, you suck.
You probably never even been, and you're
saying you hate California.
Lord forgive me for--
but that's truth.
- No, you cannot say that.
- I do not agree with what you said, and it pissed me off.
I'm going to get off here.
- Don't get off of here, talk to me.
- No, I have nothing to say.
- Leah.
- I'm going to get off here.
Bye.
- No, don't get off of here.
- Cry about it.

- Hello? - Hey, Jade.
This is Cathy at Nova. How are you?
- Hi, I'm good. How are you?
- Pretty good for a Monday.
So I was calling just to give you an update on Mom
and how she's doing and what she's doing
and also to see how you're doing.
She was excited today that she actually fit in clothes
that she brought with her.
And that's because, obviously, without the drugs
and the alcohol, she's losing some weight
and a lot of the fluids she's retained.
So she's looking a lot better.
We're doing a lot of work on family of origin dysfunction
so that she can see how she's showing up in her relationship
with you.
And she's really making some good progress with that.
How are you doing, and what are you doing for yourself?
- I'm OK.
I feel like it's been a different situation
with my parents than with my fiancé.
It's like, since it's two of them,
it's both my mom and my dad, it is hard for me.
It's like a lot put on my plate all the time.
- Yeah, because a lot of times you place that focus on them,
and you lose yourself in all of it.
Not only is your mom and your dad--
I mean, it seems like you're surrounded
by people in addiction,
including your significant other.
- Right.
- Have you looked into Al-Anon?
It's a 12-step program, kind of like they would be in,
but it's for the families whose lives
have been affected by someone who is drinking or using.
So you can take the focus off of them and focus on yourself.
And this gives you the ability to really take
a look at taking care of you--
- Right.
- And setting some healthy boundaries.
- Right, yeah. No, I totally agree.
I definitely think it's something
that would be super helpful.
I think it's a big thing, joining Al-Anon.
I have to be open, and I have to be accountable.
Because not being that, there'd be no point
in being a part of a program
if I wasn't going to be just 100%
in it for the right reasons.

- Does my jacket look crazy? - No.
My hair looks crazy.
- Mine does too because the weather's got it frizzy,
the rain.
- So you wanted me to reach out to Dad.
You said that he-- - Yeah.
- Had mentioned that he wanted
to go to a rehab facility, that he needed the help.
Kept saying that he wanted to do it for us.
And I just said, you have to do it for you.
We'll support you, but you have to do it for you.
And I mean, that part of the conversation, it went OK.
But then he started saying he doesn't like California.
- Why?
- He doesn't like-- basically, he doesn't like
people in California.
And he called them the F word.
But not [bleep].
And-- - That's not cool.
You can't--you can't--
you can't label name call.
You can't do that. - No.
That's--that's-- - Yeah.
- No, that's a derogatory remark
towards the LGBTQ community.
And that's not something I stand for.
I have gay friends that I love dearly that have supported
me and been there for me.
So that was, to me--
it honestly flipped a switch on me that I'm like, [bleep].
- It kind of pissed-- - You know what I mean?
- It--not kind of, it did piss you off.
- Yeah, it did piss me off. - Yeah.
- And honestly, my gay friends have supported me more
than you have my entire life.
- More than your biological father, yeah.
- So ultimately, [bleep] you. - Man.
- Some water, and I'll be back to get your order.
- Thank you.
- I honestly didn't mean to put you in that situation.
I just--you never know when somebody is being serious
of wanting help or not.
- I just think that you're being way too nice.
- Maybe, but I don't-- it's just not in me to just--
to just say, [bleep] you, I'm never talking to you again.
- If you can't do that, that's fine.
But don't talk to me about it.
- I mean, is a part of you upset with me because I won't?
- I think that you're an adult and will
make your own decisions.
But I think that he's going to continue
to keep showing up for you the same way he's been showing up.
And you don't deserve that.
- So maybe a part of me does hope
that maybe one day something in his dark mind
is going to click.
But if I'm not that voice in his ear,
then it's never going to.
