- Ry, get in the bed.
- Ryder has always had sleep issues.
But she's almost 6, and honestly, I thought
that she would grow out of it.
- I think talking to somebody who studies sleep
and gives us different things that we can use,
I'm all for it.
- We will talk about a communication plan,
because we want this to feel good and exciting for Ryder.
- So? - I slept in my own bed!
- All of a sudden, it's just Zach coming here
to have a dinner with Bar.
- You know, Ashley said some [bleep] that made
her feel some type of way.
She said some [bleep] that might have made
Ashley feel some type of way.
Let's talk it out.
If we got an issue, let's--
how can we figure this [bleep] out so we can be cool?
- I finally got my mom admitted into a rehab facility.
We also found my dad a facility as well
in a different state.
- Have you looked into Al-Anon?
It's a 12-step program.
- Al-Anon is, like, for people that
have dealt with addiction.
Like, not an addict themselves but, like,
a family member of an addict.
It's a support group.
- No, I think that'll be good for you.
- You feel like you would be complete if we were
together as a happy family?
- I think it'd be worth a shot.

I want to put a down payment on a house that I own.

has been a part of all of our lives
since the beginning, so...
- I mean, "The Challenge" is how we got Ryder, so...
- Yeah.
- It's definitely been a part of our lives.
So, Ry, what do you think about
if I go on "The Challenge"?

- Hi. - Hi.
- Hola, hola.
This is like the Last Supper dinner table.
[laughs]
- Let's go see if we can get a drink.
- Thought your party was so cute.
It was the perfect thing for kids.
- Thank you guys for coming.
I'm really happy with how everything turned out.
And I feel like Ryder was, like, really happy.
And, you know, that's all that matters, so...
I'm gonna pick up Ryder in the morning.
- Kloie's so excited to see her tomorrow.
She was so sad that she's going to Cory's tonight.
- I know. And I felt bad because--
- She cried at the birthday party.
I was like, I didn't know.
And then I figured he was going to "The Challenge" tomorrow.
So I was like, oh, her dad's leaving.
I'm sorry. - Yeah.
Since he leaves in the morning, he was like,
can she please just come to my house tonight?
And I get it. Like, it's his last night.
I would want her, too, if it was my last night.
- It's like, I came here to get away from, like, my home life.
And it's like... - And then he--yeah.
- He just, like... - Followed it.
- Followed like a little puppy.
And it's just like, I came here to hang out.
Like, I don't have the kids.
I don't want to deal with that.
I really don't know--
- How are my friends over here? - Hi.
- What's up, friends? - You want to sit with us?
- Yeah, I'ma sit with y'all.
You already drinking?
- Nah, I was just talking with Bri.
- Go sit over there. Give me, like, five minutes.
- OK. That's way better.
- [laughs] - Y'all do your thing.
- [laughs] What's up?
- Just chilling.
- Do you think we're good?
- Obviously [bleep] ain't [bleep]
roses and dandies and perfect.
But yeah, we cool.
I say that to everybody in the world, me and Bri cool,
literally. - But we're not,
and I think that's where you need
to just own it for what it is.
We're in therapy literally that morning,
and we're talking about how can we
fix the situation that you're in so that you can be
a better, more efficient dad to take--
to hang out with the kids. - Yeah.
- But then me telling you, like, hey, I'm gonna help you.
Like, whatever you need, I got you.
And then that to, I have money,
I'm showing it off on Instagram, like--
- It wasn't necessarily even like--no, that wasn't
no flex or nothing like that.
I was in a strip club. - Yeah.
You was in the comments talking about [bleep] support
and this and that.
- I'm talking [bleep]. I was just [bleep] joking.
- No, no. - I'm joking around.
That was a [bleep] joke.
I was joking. - No. You don't joke like that.
- I definitely get what you're saying, for sure.
But that wasn't--that wasn't, like, me doing nothing crazy.
- No, it wasn't. It was a typical day. No.
- Like, I didn't pop up with no
new chain or no [bleep] like that out the blue.
- No.
- I still definitely could have went
without doing that, for sure.
Definitely. For sure. Like...
- Yeah. - For sure.
That didn't bring me nothing good.
- Nope.
- Nothing good.
- Sorry. Did not.
Look how quick I got triggered, and look
how quick it went back to point A.
And I don't want that.
So I think we should
keep it about the kids.
And I need to continue to work on myself, and so do you.
This was just an example of how bad it can get, you know?
And I don't want to do that.
- Exactly. - I want us to be friends.
- Respect. I respect that.
- All right.
I want to get back to the table.

- Morning. - Hi, Jade.
- Hello. How are you? - Hi.
- How you feeling? - OK. Just tired.
We had a time last night.
- What time did you guys go to bed?
- I don't know.
We put the kids down early, but it still
feels like they stay up...
- They stay up so late. - Late.
- And I got up really early this morning 'cause I had
to host my Al-Anon meeting.
- I'm gonna ask a question, because I don't know.
- Mm-hmm. - What is Al-Anon?
- It's, like, a support group for people
that basically have, like, addicts, like,
in their family or friends.
And it's, like, a place where--
it's about, like, growth of yourself
and trying to understand the addict
but also keeping your boundaries.
So it's more of, like, a thing for yourself.
- I know, like, your dad's in Arizona or Texas?
- Yeah. Arizona.
- Arizona, and then your mom's in Texas.
- Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I should
visit them in rehab or not.
Last week, I talked to my mom's counselor
and then my dad's counselor.
They want me to come visit my parents
but only if I want to.
Visitation on Sundays where they have visitation.
But then she's like, I'd want you to stay an extra day
and do, like, a therapy session with me, you, and your mom.
And I'm just like...ugh.
It seems just like one more thing that I'm, like--
- Dreading. - Ugh, yeah.
- Are you scared to visit her?
- Yeah, I think it's just all the emotions.
I know I'm gonna, like, have one--
I just hate crying and having one of those vulnerable,
like, breakdowns.
Dealing with those kind of emotions
is just gonna be so emotionally draining
that it's gonna take me a couple days
to, like, get back to myself.
- Get back into yourself.
- And I'm like, I don't have time to do that.
I work every day. I'm running the business.
I'm doing all this [bleep].
Kloie's about to start kindergarten in a few months.
- But that's your mommy. - I know.
- And she needs you.
- I think a big part of all of this
is giving everybody grace, including yourself.
Like, give yourself grace to feel how you feel,
and give your mom and dad grace to feel how they feel,
and Sean included,
'cause Sean is a big part of this puzzle too.
And he's... - Yeah.
- You know, gone through his own sobriety.
But now he's watching you do this.
- Do you have other concerns or fears?
- I think, you know, doing my program has helped keep me
happy and sane and positive.
I feel like if I wasn't doing it, I would--
my headspace would be different.
- Yeah.
- What do you think could come positive
out of going to see her?
- I just think closure.
Like, being able to say stuff that I probably wouldn't
have been able to say before.
Like, confronting some things that--you know, being like,
hey, this caused me, you know, really great trauma
and issues in my life.
And I don't want to-- it's not like I'm here
to kick you while you're down or beat you up.
But I want you to acknowledge my pain.
- Unfortunately, we as parents, you know,
we make lots of mistakes. - Mm-hmm.
- You know, but--at's not a reflection on you guys.
Also, look what you're doing.
You're changing cycles for your family.
You're changing cycles for Sean.
- Mm-hmm. - And it's in real time.
I mean, that's awesome.
And so when Kloie gets older, this is something
that she will not deal with.
You've changed the cycle from your grandmother
to your mother, and now there's you.
- It's worth going to-- it's your mother.
And I'm not saying that lightly.
This could be--
- Life-changing. - Yes.
- Like, a very big revelation. - Right.
So I think you should go. - Yeah.
- 'Cause if you don't do it, it will always be "I did not go."
- Yeah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.
We need to try to co-parent.

But how do I be a friend?
Like, I don't know how to be a friend to him
'cause we've always been, like, enemies.
- Yeah.
- Like, it's so uncomfortable for me.
- Yeah, so then maybe you learn how to co-parent
before you learn how to be friends.
And then maybe a friendship will just develop out
of co-parenting, 'cause I feel like the biggest thing in
co-parenting is communication.
- Yeah, and we don't really have that.
- You want to feel like you guys can be in--
- Like how you and Cory were yesterday.
Like, that's chilling vibes.

Really, how?

relationship with Devoin,

not everybody's gonna think like me.
