Hmm.
what your daughter jane is going through Is rare but understandable.
It sounds like jane has very High activity brain.
The framework of school And activities that can stimulate most children, She just finds constricting and frustrating.
Yeah, that sounds like-- We know this about jane, but what can we do about it? Well, I'm sure you know by now As parents that there's not A solution to every problem your Kids are gonna have.
Some struggles are good.
Jane is going through a lot, But how she copes with it is going To define her strengths down the road.
See, that's what I think.
We're moving toward Putting her in a private school.
Well, you're moving towards What would you recommend? Well Let me ask you.
How did she cope with your divorce? You know, I guess better than lilly did.
Lilly had a harder time and I mean, now they're both pretty well adjusted.
No.
I would say the opposite is true.
Lilly already had some coping skills, But jane was too young, And she's only just now facing A lot of the issues that lilly had A chance to deal with.
So-- so when you were divorced, How young was jane at the time? She was three.
Three, oh, that is very young.
Yeah.
And lilly was Six? So were they close? Why aren't my kids together? Yes.
To ask questions, you know.
Yes, of course.
I just explained it the best way I could, but it's hard Yes, it is, and it must have been hard on you.
To explain it to a three year old.
It was.
Yeah, it was definitely hard on me.
Very.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So How do you find balancing your work schedule And your time with the kids? Well, I-- it works out pretty well, because-- See, my feeling is that jane and lilly need to be moved To a better learning environment, But I'm getting a lot of resistance From their father.
Their father, who's that? Where's he at? Oh, that's right, he's here, He's right here inside my face.
That was hostile.
What, what I said is--? What about-- You mean the look on her face, right? No, please don't, louie.
Please don't do it here.
Don't what? Don't start here.
Don't what? We're here for jane.
I don't Want to deal with that.
I'm sorry, okay? Mm-hmm.
I'm kinda sorry.
Look, what school jane goes to, Lilly goes to, isn't going to Make the critical difference.
What is a deal breaker Is their parents getting along or not.
Divorced or married, the fact is, If there's harmony between parents, The kids are happy, And if their isn't, they are not.
How have you two been getting along? The thing is, we were fine.
For a while, like, for years After we separated.
Yeah, that's true.
Uh-huh.
And then things got worse? Yep.
Yeah, they did.
That's hard.
So, okay.
Whose fault is it? That's right.
That's what I'm asking.
You guys were getting along And now it's just degenerating.
Who do you think is at fault? Well, that makes it pretty clear.
Then it's your responsibility.
Yes.
I said it's her responsibility.
It's your fault.
So it's your responsibility to fix it, Because you can't.
Because your feelings are not in control.
You are very emotional about your children.
Janet, on the other hand, Is very practical and less guided By her feelings.
Can we leave now while this feels kinda even? What does she cost? $800 for the two hours.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, I mean, for that kind of money, We could pay to have jane killed.

I'm willing to try anything you want to consider.

She's struggling up a hill With the leg braces and the crutches.
And then there is a lady behind her, Who's very beautiful and very tall and young, And she had high heels, And she was struggling the same amount To get up the hill, which is weird.
But when I saw this old lady, She looked so sick and uncomfortable And I thought to myself, "jeez, I wish she felt better.
I wish she felt better.
" And then I thought another thought That was, like, challenging myself, And I thought, "really? How much do you wish it? "how much do you wish that lady felt better? "what would you be willing to do Or give up so that that lady could feel better?" Like, if somebody told me that that lady would feel better If I didn't drink lemonade for two years I'd be like, "I don't know that bitch.
" I don't wanna-- I don't-- I mean, I'm not obsessed with lemonade.
But I might want some lemonade.
Next June, I might-- Somebody-- "here.
" "ah, that lady, shit.
