- No, not really.

really unfortunate

like such a great kid,

and I could not imagine--

like, I could not imagine
not showing up for Ryder.

And there's nobody
that could keep me

from showing up for Ryder,
nobody.

Nothing.

- Obviously, she has lots of,

like, lots of difficulties.

But I just--I feel like
I can't handle it.

Like, I wish I could,
but I can't.

- Well, you're a kid,
and you shouldn't have to.

Maybe one day, hopefully,

you guys are able
to at least talk

and you're able
to at least explain

how you feel,
not to hurt her feelings,

but so that you at least

get to have your voice
be, like, heard.

- Yeah, I think
it would be good

to maybe
one day have a sit-down.

I just don't know when.
- Yeah.

After these past few weeks
of, like, dealing

with Ryder's health, dealing
with, like, fertility issues,

him being a part of our family

nobody likes her.
