So my father was married to my mom from age one, baby until 10. They got divorced when I was 10. And my father, as he's gone viral for his suave-ness. Yes, he has. It's all, hey, daddy, usher song is going viral with it and it makes me want to throw up. Yes, yes, yes. I can see it. He's a charming guy. Yeah, definitely charming. He was a womanizer. Yeah, so...

Ironically, in 2021, I found out I had two brothers that I didn't know about that he had during the time period that he was married to my mom. And we already knew about one of them, but we didn't know about these two. Ironically, one of them went to high school with me. The same one that went to high school with me lived in my neighborhood. And his brother was one of my really good friends.

So he wrote me on Instagram in 2021 and was telling me and I was like, this guy's trying to talk to me from high school. And then I open it and it's a voice note of like, I did my ancestry and your dad's my dad. And I'm like, I'm so sorry that to hear that I have enough loved ones in my life. I don't need any more. Like, you know, and I felt bad, but I just didn't. I'm 30. Like, I don't need this.

So then he wrote me again. And then his brother called me who I knew from high school. And he was like, you might as well give him a chance because he's never going to stop. And boy, am I glad that I did because I met them and we hit it off immediately.

And I told them one day, like I think like the second time we hung out, I was like, fuck, I wish you guys weren't cool because I really didn't want to do this. But we ended up, we're super close now. Ironically, I've only known them for since 2021. Wow. So my dad, where everyone's like, oh, your dad, I can't wait till her dad gets on Tyler. My dad don't have no room to talk about anything.

So my dad and I's relationship was strained for years and years and years. And it took probably the last five years for us to get close. And I'll tell you why. I've learned along my growth journey that you just have to meet people where they're at. Some people would die that way. My grandpa died that way.

When you meet people where they're at and you accept people for who they are, you have a better relationship with them because you're not trying to change them into the image that you want them to be. And I used to always want the dad on the TV. Like I used to want that so bad. And then I realized that's just not my story.
