I haven't seen my dad 9, 10 years.
That's how long it's been.
He became addicted to pain pills after an accident

with addiction ever since.
When I got addicted to pain pills myself as a teen,
he enabled me.
It's been hard.
It's just been toxic my entire life.

I think, one, he needs to know that.
I accepted him coming here because something
did feel different.
He's wanting to go straight to detox.
- OK.
- There's just a few things that we have to wrap
up before he goes into detox.
And I think it would be nice that when you're ready
or when you feel good to step in
with whatever type of support that you want to give--
because you can relate to the stuff that he's going through
and what he's going to go through.
- If he commits and follows through,
I will meet him at the entrance of the detox facility--

What's your name, big guy?
- Ace.
It's his nap time, so he's angry at the world.
- Does he want to lie down and take a nap?
- Wow.
- So what brings you in today?
- So we were looking into the different options
of having another baby or freezing my eggs and waiting.
I don't know anything about freezing my eggs.
I don't even know how that works,
if that's even an option, if that's the thing.
- You are 32. Is that right?
- Yes. - Me or him?
- I'm 32. She's 31. - Oh, OK.
- What are you using for birth control right now?
- The pill.
- We can freeze eggs.
We can freeze the embryos.
Or you can have another kid.
All of those are on the table.
When you freeze eggs, the good part of freezing eggs
is it's not an embryo.
So a lot of people feel more comfortable.
- Oh, an embryo is a baby.
- So an embryo, you know-- when you put an egg
and a sperm together and it's a fertilized embryo,
it's an embryo.
So the point of freezing eggs for a lot of people
is, like, oh, I'm not ready to have a kid now,
and I'm getting older.
And I don't want to wait because if I'm older,
I'm going to be less fertile.
And then I might not be able to get pregnant.
If you really think that you're going to be waiting,
then it's something to consider, you know.
But if you're waiting till 35 or 36--
- Then it's--
- --it's not that critical because you could just--
if at 35 or 36 you're not pregnant within six months,
you could do it then.
If you want, we can go inside, and do an ultrasound,
and look at your ovaries, see how many eggs
really are in both ovaries.
- Yeah. - OK.
Let's go.
I think there's six follicles, and I bet there'll be more.
Because you're on the pill, they're probably suppressed,
so they're smaller than we would see if you get off.
The world is open to you.
You could choose to freeze eggs because you want to.
There's no urgency for you to do it.

anything from the past.
I hold no grudges.
I forgive you for the past.
Even with my childhood, I've done the work
to do what I needed to do to make sure that it does
not reflect on my daughters.
And that's why boundaries are so important to me
because there was a lot that I went through and didn't even
speak on or didn't even know that bothered
me until I went to treatment.
And you can see it.
Like, you can see it come to fruition in my kids' lives,
in my own life.
But I will not allow anything to come between that-- nothing.
And I will not allow them to be exposed
to the same trauma or pain that we were exposed to.
- I understand that, and I need to do something about it.
And that's what I'm prepared and wanting to do.
I'm going to get back on the right path.
- You do.
I agree.
Genuinely, I thought that I would get a call in--
one day that, you know, my dad had passed away.
I was prepared for me to be like, oh, OK.
So this is, like,
different than I expected.
It's going to be a struggle.
It's going to be hard.
I think I gave him the best advice I had at the moment.
And, you know, I hope that he pulls--
pulls this through.

- So I wanted to have a conversation with you
about your grandma.
Remember when we went to the Carly visit?
She had a beer when we were all at dinner.
And so I had to talk to Grandma and say, hey, I asked you--
I asked you not to drink around me or the kids, you know.
And so when I told her that, she got upset with me.
- Yeah, but when is she going to stop drinking,
so I can actually go over there?
- I-- I don't know.
Why? Do you miss her?
You do.
Yeah.
- Because I can't be around her anymore that much.
- OK.
And that makes you sad?
What do you think?
- Because she can say mean things sometimes,
and she can be weird around us.
Like, one time, she fell asleep in the bathtub.
- Right.
And see, I don't want you to be around stuff like that.
'Cause does that make you feel safe?
No.
I'm sorry.
- It's OK.
- You don't look OK.
You're not OK?
- I just miss her so much.
I just want her back with me.
- You do?
Come here.
I'm sorry.
You know what?
If they're not going to change, they don't deserve
to be in our life, period.
I just can't imagine, like, my kids getting older
and have the things that Mom's done to me.
And I can't imagine, like, my child saying, hey,
can you do this for me, so we can build-- like,
I would be doing anything--
anything.
Like, I don't feel like I'm a bad person.
I just don't want certain things around me.
So it's just-- it's just mind boggling to me.
How can you not want to be around my kids?
- So that means that Grandma might not want us in her life?
- I don't-- I don't really know.
I guess that would be an answer that she would have to give.

- How do you feel after the fertility visit?
- Felt good.
- Yeah.
- I feel like, you know, more so for you.
It was for us.
But it was for, you know, your body, your eggs.
The main thing we got from that is you have--
we have time.
- There is time.
Like, if we did decide to have a baby, there's enough time.
I think that there needs to be more, like, stability
and stability within, like, careers, and benefits,
and certain things like that before we
jump into having another one.
I need to really figure out what I want,
but it's not something that you can go back and forth on.
It's something that you need to really be certain of.
So who knows what will happen?
Now that I have all the information from the fertility
doctor, I don't necessarily think that freezing my eggs
is for me at this time.

I cannot deny that.
