Oh my gosh, thank you so much. Okay, I just wanted to tell you I've listened to you for 25 years. And Dr. Lourke, there's one thing I did right in my parenting. It was not dating. After my divorce 14 years ago, I have a 16 and a half year old daughter and I'm just calling in regards to the lady that called just a minute ago that was dating and had a young daughter, blah, blah, blah. And my daughter, well, my daughter's sitting here with me right now. My daughter thanks me all the time.

that I've never had a man in this home. I have never dated. And...

Yeah. So I just, all because of you, I didn't want, and now her and I always talk about like her friends that have, you know, that are, that have stepbrothers and sisters, stepdads, all the drama. Yeah. Yeah. And my friends that have divorced, remarried, divorced again, and just

having their kids go through all the drama and it's just we just step back and watch and are just she's just thankful and I'm thankful so that's why I just wanted to call it so many of these parents are so short-sighted and self-centered how do you think that could be good question um

Why? Why would you think, Micah? Maybe your daughter has some ideas. I know. She's just sitting here. We're listening right now. I think because maybe the parents are just thinking about themselves. I mean, I can only say that for, like, my friends that have went through divorce. It's like they do not prioritize their kids. They're thinking about...

the next, I say the next dude, you know, like laid up or, I mean, that's what I see out of my girlfriend. You know, I don't know, instead of just... I think you got it. I think you have it right there. They're not prioritizing their children. They're prioritizing themselves, which is probably what happened to their first marriage in the first place. Yes, exactly.
