Yeah. I mean, and there it was. Like, yes, my day job is I run a center for emotional intelligence, but like I'm a human being who had strong emotions and I didn't have the strategies. And I needed to cultivate a whole new set of regulation strategies to deal with that new aspect of my life.

Yeah, there are strategies. Correctness is a tricky term. It's a game. It's no matter what, it's going to be a game because you can't predict how people will respond. But I couldn't agree with you more. I'll give you another example. My father, who, like you, we ended up having an excellent relationship. My mom died when I was young. And he remarried. And he had moved to upstate New York.

And so I went on a road trip, took my father out to the local coffee shop. We're sitting down. I can't take it anymore. This is what he's telling me. I can't take it anymore. I'm like, Dad, like, tell me more. I can't take it anymore. I'm like, that's not enough information, Dad. Like, what can't you take anymore? In the end, what I learned was that my father has three sons.

All of us have doctorates. We're all independent. We're all successful doctors. Her children were having struggles, and she was needing to babysit her grandchildren. My father didn't like that. My sons are all taking care of themselves. He's not realizing this, but what he's saying is, I don't like the idea of you spending so much time with these grandkids because I want your attention.
