Extreme Takers (Narcs) vs. People Pleasers

The father of Lynn's child is abusive and a cheater who takes no responsibility. But Lynn wants to keep the family together and feels sympathetic toward him because of his ugly, troubled past. She stands by him even though he doesn't reciprocate and wonders why she still wants him. Sven's second guest, Melissa, left her cheating, alcoholic husband after 15 years. With limited contact he treats their 9-year-old daughter poorly, but Melissa knows her daughter forgives him and still wants her daddy. She wonders which is worse: an absent parent or a parent f'd up with addiction? Sven helps both women answer their questions with compassion and great insight. Get out your hankies! Explicit content.
