Turns out nurture can only do this much. The rest is nature. If she's on a path, it's not one that Joel put her on. No, no. I think they were walking side by side from the very start. Tommy, I get it. You inherited her and you want to keep her out of trouble. Take it from a psychotherapist of 40 years. Some people just... Some people just can't be saved.

It shouldn't, but it often does. In my last moment with Joel, he said he wronged you. Maybe bad. What is it that he said that he did? Well, that's the thing. It didn't really make sense. He said, I saved her.

I hope they can see the unity that we modeled and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking up space. We were making space for the future. And for me, like Gail said, this wasn't a ride. It wasn't a destination. It was a journey, and it was a supernatural one. And my journey has always been about love and belonging.
Ninjas Are Butterflies

And I think that we have all felt that sometimes we weren't worthy or we didn't belong in certain ways, no matter what. all the accolades, no matter all the studying, no matter anything. And I think today we all said it, like, we belong here. This is where we belong, and we feel very sure of that. So I think that...

You'll never know the amount of love that you have inside of you to give and to receive until the day you launch. Because you're leaving all the love behind and you're surrendering and you're hoping that you get another chance to love them again. And so when you come back down, you're like, oh, I get another chance and I'm going to do it.

What is true?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I mean, I don't have a lot of money past the $6,000, but I could take the $6,000 plus the extra $1,000 that I have plus my aunt's $500 that she said she would give.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And I'm like, I mean, I've got the 6,000 that I talked about with my dad. I've got about a thousand extra.

S22 E9: How Dare You
You said that you were going to get the money to bail me out. Is that true or not?

S22 E9: How Dare You
Yeah, I need to hear the recording. I don't believe it. I'm sorry.

S22 E9: How Dare You
Hey, Alyssa. Sorry, I'm on the wall, so I'm at the jail, so it cuts off every so often. I mean, you're welcome to listen to my mom. I don't know why you would.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Um, I've had to ask her, I've had to explain to her like seven times a simple concept and she's confused.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
My attorney's office said there is not a warrant out for my arrest, so I am trying to figure this out.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
It's a long story, and it has to do with a private adoption.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
The people that adopted her, I talked to the dad. It was a car accident, and the mom and her got killed. I can't even get my child's Social Security card number because it's in my phone, and the court, or sorry, the jail denied me access on Sunday.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Yeah, well, there's a lot of questions about the adoption because I wasn't of legal age. So a lot of it was not my doing. Right. I actually had a state lawmaker that pulled records from Department of Health for me a couple years ago. And that's been... God... In a couple of years, I'll tell you that much, probably 2018, 2019.

There's no saying the judge is going to grant my request anyway.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I was saying that the reason why I've not been public about her is because you guys would have tracked down the parents and maybe not you, but somebody in the group would have tracked down the parents and

I understand. I will say the offers, though, you guys wouldn't know.

Yeah, Kate, I know you're going to be mad at me, but I really need your help, please.

Yes. Me and my mom went for a bike ride after she had gotten home from work that day.

Episode 278
Yes, I rode up on a motorcycle that was parked on the left side of the trail. My guard went up. I was cautious that somebody was going to jump out at me. Why I thought that, I do not know. I just kind of even slowed down because I was just, I honestly thought somebody was going to jump out, or I wanted to know where they were at, you know. What were they doing, you know?

Terry obviously had strong influence over Sandra. And I didn't realize that about Devereaux until, you know, until the trial. But when Louise and Sandra died, you know, Louise left a will to this woman. Sandra was under the influence. Now, how she got under the influence is what you're trying to drive at.

We had a very good lawyer who at the very end said that I should go ahead and settle, which we did. So Terry got half of it and I got half of it. And that was it.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Hi, Dr. John. What's going on? So I just have a... I have a confrontation, I guess you would call it, that I need to have with my sister.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I know. And I don't know how to go about this conversation. Just in general, I just don't do well with confrontations.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
What's the confrontation? So, okay, I wrote this out. I'll read this to you just a little bit. All right. My sister recently met and married a man serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. She met him while he was incarcerated.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
How do you do that? No. He's like locally incarcerated from our area, and I guess they just knew somebody mutually, and her friend set her up with him. Okay.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
They are married now. She kept their entire relationship a secret until she just texted me a picture of her wedding band and told me that she got married. And she hadn't even mentioned at first that he was in prison. So just the fact that she got married and I didn't even know that she was in a relationship was shocking. And then she told me that he also was in prison. Totally.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
It's just snowballed for there because there are a lot of other just terrible details.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
So he was sentenced to life in prison for first degree murder, which he confessed to during the second trial. The first time the jury found him guilty, that was dismissed. And then the second time, instead of going to trial again, he chose to confess and take a plea deal. And this is also the second time he has served a sentence prison, and his first sentence was for attempted first-degree murder.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Hi, thanks for taking my call.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Well, I think I know the answer to this, but the question that I have is, How can I get my husband to prioritize his mental health when I'm at my breaking point?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I think that I have been at my breaking point for like five years. And I feel like recently I broke. What broke it? Well, I think what really did it was my husband and I have... he's kind of always been in this like low grade depression for a really long time. And it caused a lot of damage to, or a lot of hardship for our marriage.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
And, of course, you know, he says that he's innocent. My sister believes that twice, almost back-to-back, he has been wrongfully convicted. As all new wives believe. I know, I know. And she just cannot be persuaded otherwise. So, anyway, he's up for parole soon. There's no chance. That's what I thought, too.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
So we went to like a marriage retreat thing and it went really, really well. And he was great for about six weeks. And then, then it just went back to how it was. And I think that is really what broke me. Yeah. Finally.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
So they're not little, little.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Um... I want him to be happy. Like I, he's not my first love, but he was my best friend and I miss my friend a lot. And I've tried, like I've had other friends, um, And they're not him. Like, he's the one that I want and he's not there. I married him because I knew that he would never, ever leave me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
And it never really occurred to me that he would leave mentally and stay here physically, which might actually be worse.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
No, I definitely wanted to build a life with him. He was a person who I knew that I could build a life with. Okay. Definitely that, like, he was not the first love. The first love was a teenage thing. It was definitely very... Teenage-y, that's cool. It has had a lot of impact on our relationship. Why is that?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
In large part, specifically because when we were a couple years into our marriage, this first guy who basically ghosted me called me out of the blue, and I was like, what? And so I talked to him, and it caused... huge upset in our relationship. I was 21. I think when this happened, I got married very young.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Um, I, I talked to him on the phone that night for a couple hours and just was like, what happened?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
So it wasn't the phone call itself. It was me. It was we were not doing great in our marriage already at the time. We've always kind of struggled. In large part, I think because my husband hasn't ever actually fully trusted me, but I didn't
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
But she's adamant that she thinks that he has a chance then.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
know that until after we got married um but so basically I all of those like what happened with this this first boyfriend we'll call him he um he kind of just disappeared out of my life like in the middle of the like infatuation in love period of the relationship.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
What is significant is that I was trying to talk to my husband about... Basically, I was confused. This is bringing up a lot of old feelings. We're not in a good place. And I was trying to talk to him, and I think what I was trying to do really was communicate, like, I'm confused. I'm kind of scared. I don't know what's going on. But what I...
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
said to him and what he heard was, he said, are you in love with him still? And I said, yes. And he said, do you love me? And he said, are you in love with me? And I said, I don't know. And that is the thing that was so extremely damaging. It's not about the boyfriend. Um,
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah. That's part of the problem, honestly.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I want to know that I am valued in my own
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
murder one he's not going to get paroled unless he's in california right yeah yeah that's my thoughts too and of course she's adamant that she says um you know well his lawyer has new information or whatever he sure does which is what i tell her i said i'm sure he's telling you that but i just don't think that that's true well i've seen matlock enough to know that
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I don't, I, I know that his stuff is not my fault. He has reacted to a lot of things and I feel like in an effort to be fair to him, it is important for me to be transparent with what I actually did do to cause him damage. But I did not cause his stuff. His dad left him when he was six. Um, And I think that all of his stuff stems from that.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
But he doesn't really acknowledge that that's still a problem that he's never worked through.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I think right now my hang up is that we're about to our 15th anniversary. And for 14 years, I have always been the one bringing up the things that need to be talked about and pushing for the connection and pushing to resolve things.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I mean, that is essentially where I am. I'm not, I'm just, I'm trying to be peaceful. Like that's basically what I'm trying to do now, but I'm not bringing up the things that need to be talked about because I'm exhausted.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Right. Yes, exactly. So that's the conversation. I guess right now it's easy to just kind of pretend like it's not happening.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
This is what marriage is. This is what people look like.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But at least for us, the main issue is, you know, my husband and I, we have three really young children. They're all under five and they all love my sister so much. And we see her a lot and we talk to her a lot. They have no idea, of course, any of this is going on.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah. I think... I think that... the biggest thing that is at war at the moment is, um, this is the first year ever in my life when leaving came up as an actual thing that I wanted. Um, how'd it go?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Okay. So the thing is, I wasn't considering leaving. It's I want to, I do want to, but I won't. And if he doesn't know that about me after 17 years, I don't, I'm at like, I'm at the, I feel like I've fallen off the rope. I'm not even at the end of the rope anymore. I've fallen off the rope as to how to get him to believe me that my loyalty has nothing to do with how I feel.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
And that's a comfort to me. That would be a comfort to me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
But if he gets out of prison and they are living their life together, I feel like we're going to have to have a conversation to say, like, we don't want him in our lives or around the children, at least, at the very least.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I guess maybe not as bad as him.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
I feel like the only reason why I'm not immobilized, why I can't, why I don't come home and be catatonic some days like he does is because I don't have the, I don't have that luxury.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
They're like five, three and seven months.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
That's true. That's very true. And my husband kind of thinks more that way too, because it's like, if she's making these types of judgment calls in this area of her life, what other types of judgment calls we already kind of, we've never let the kids stay alone with her just before this has happened. She just hasn't made the best judgment calls, you know? Right.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Um, so yeah, that actually does come up a lot where she even like on Valentine's day, she said, why don't you guys go out and I'll watch the kids. And I was like, we're just going to take the kids with us.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yes, because I just, yeah, I have been just avoiding having a difficult conversation. So I always just come up with excuses like that. Like, we're just going to take the kids with us, you know?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
She has. Yeah, we had a rough childhood. She was a teen mom, and she's always been a single mom, and she's had her struggles.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
My sister recently met and married a man serving a life sentence for first degree murder. She kept their entire relationship a secret until she just texted me a picture of her wedding band and told me that she got married.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah. No, she doesn't because she thinks that she's specifically... We are Christians, and my sister is not, and she specifically says that I'm judgmental, and I think I'm holier than thou. And it just always—anytime I say anything to question her decisions, which, you know, she makes a lot of—she has previously made a lot of bad decisions, it just turns into a fight about that, you know?
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yes. Yes. I know. Yeah, that's very much true. And I don't know if it, maybe it's just feels like it's coming to a head because this situation is just very like acute, I guess, but it's kind of just, It's just an overall problem, you know, with our relationship with her.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think right now where her feelings are so strong about the situation with her husband, I feel like everything always circles back to that. And so I would think if I had a conversation and try to keep it broad and general, that it would circle back to that. And then I feel like it would almost be like she would give me an ultimatum. She gets to do that.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah, I'm just afraid that she will just be like, I don't know, no contact. Like she will just say, well, if you don't want him, then you don't get me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
That's true. There's no solution.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah, yeah. They really love her so much.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Yeah, and like you said, right now they just see her as the fun aunt, but especially my five-year-old in a couple of years, I mean, she's going to, yeah, really just, I don't know, she's going to learn more about her than just like, you know, the fun side.
The Dr. John Delony Show
My Sister Married a Man in Prison for Murder
Right, right. I don't... My sister, she has always shown up. I think it's a matter of like... if we would allow her to show up, depending on what state she's in. So I think I worry, too, that it's going to come back, that the kids are going to maybe be resentful of us if it becomes a no-contact situation, even though it wasn't like we made it that way.

Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Thank you. I've been listening since 2020. It's crazy to think it's been four years. I never would have imagined that I am where I am now.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
We live on a busy street and we go to the end of the driveway and watch the cars.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Good grief. Oh, I don't even know where to start.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Yeah. That's like the only thing that helps.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
I think if we had a calm baby, we'd be crushing it right now.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
We are in one of those tough seasons right now, my husband and I. Okay. We have a seven-month-old and we are super blessed. She is mostly healthy. We didn't have much trouble conceiving. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Can I stop you right there?
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
And she is colicky as all sin. Oh, jeez. I'm having a really hard time seeing those around me enjoying this season.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
She is out of her mind. And she's got really bad reflux, GERD. So, you know, she's on daily medications for that. And she, I think at baseline, she is just a really difficult, high-need baby. So add in physical discomfort, and she is a whirlwind. It's been really, really hard.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
It's really hard being able to see how different things could look like, if she was more comfortable, if her temperament might have been a little bit different, and I'm having a really hard time seeing those around me enjoying this season. Yeah. When there's not been a thing enjoyable.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Absolutely. My best friend's baby is three months younger than mine, and they struggled in a lot of different ways. IVF, the whole nine yards. They had a really tough journey to get here, and getting here has been great now that he's here. We're going back and forth, and I'm trying to listen to her daily complaints and support her in the same way she supports me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
And I'm having a hard time not being like, man, you're not struggling right now. It's okay. All right. Can I say something out loud? I want to be there for her. Yeah.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
It has been. And when I fight really hard to not focus that energy on the baby, it's on the world.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
We have a seven-month-old, and we are super blessed.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Oh, yeah. We had a GI appointment yesterday. Our formula is $800 a month. We're doing everything. Good God almighty.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Um, this, this took a toll on us really, really quickly. Um, we were really good at passing back and forth and trying to stay recharged, but she's so amped up that we both can't stay charged. Of course. There you go. Um, which really just was detrimental to us as a unit. Um, and in the past couple of months, we've, we've really focused on us and things are kind of better than ever between us.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
Um, so good. So good. We're just trying to fight to stay there.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Being a Mom Isn’t What I Thought It’d Be
super dark and a lot of people don't admit that but when you struggle to not be angry at your own baby when you struggle with intrusive thoughts about your baby you i mean if i struggle with it how would a stranger deal with it the stranger knows exactly what they're walking into and here's what the stranger is doing they get 30 minutes or an hour to help out a friend yeah they get and not oh my gosh this mom is so bad that's that's what you think's gonna happen
The Dr. John Delony Show

Regarding therapy at the moment? No. Okay.
The Dr. John Delony Show

I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
My question is, why am I struggling so much to overcome the sadness after my grandson was born with Down syndrome?
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
So I just, I feel like three-fourths of his life opportunities have just gone down the drain since he was born.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
He won't be able to drive. He won't be able to go to certain camps. No phone calls, no party invites. I'm just projecting so much negativity, I guess. I'm trying to get past this.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
It gets triggered every time I see a newborn or young child that's typical versus his atypical diagnosis. Mm-hmm. And just having a hard time with it.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
Yeah. Well, you know, it's like a gut kick.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
You know, especially when I see other little kids, other newborns and children.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
I just wish he has an amazing life.
The Dr. John Delony Show
I’m Angry All the Time and It’s Ruining My Life
Right. And yeah, you know, that's what I'll do moving forward for sure. But, um, I was just trying to remember when my kids were little, I didn't even remember them having any friends that had Down syndrome or anyone in our class having Down syndrome.

You know, the Trump administration recently fired many employees of the FAA administration. Do those cuts worry you, and do you think that impacts the safety? I know you just said it's the safest way to travel, but after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are very nervous. Do these cuts affect you?
