She just didn't kick you out of the house.

When you went to her at the age of freaking six and said, I looked at something that made me feel gross inside.

She said emotionally, get away from me.

Yeah.

And dad just took off.

Yeah, and you've been, well, here's the thing.

You're walking around all the time thinking you're not enough because the two people that were put on the planet to love you and be connected to you said, you're not enough for me.

You're not enough for us.

Yeah.

So how can a 20 year old look out into the world and see this beautiful woman he's asking to spend the rest of his life with and say, oh, she's going to buy it though.

You don't even buy it.

You don't think you're enough.

And so the path forward is sitting down and being honest and saying, I don't know that I've fully told you the death.

The fact that you described your mother before you told me what happened, how she went after a six-year-old for stumbling into pornography.

The fact that she didn't hold your hand and say, oh my gosh, I completely let you down.

It's my job to keep you safe from that kind of trash when you're six or seven.

I failed you.

And by the way, boobs are awesome.

And you're going to always be curious and there's nothing wrong with you for wanting to look.

But there's a time and a place for it.
