Speaker 1: All right, it is time to check Steve's voicemail. Call
Speaker 1: eight seven seven twenty nine Steve to leave a message
Speaker 1: for Steve. Now you might just hear your call on
Speaker 1: the air, Steve, you recently said that if you have
Speaker 1: a problem with your mother, you need to try and
Speaker 1: fix it. Okay, I think that was yesterday or day
Speaker 1: before on the air. Well, this caller has a question
Speaker 1: about what to do with a complicated mother daughter relationship.
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
Speaker 2: Good morning. So this is a comment on what you
Speaker 2: said about being upset with your mom or your dad
Speaker 2: this morning, and you got to have a real problem.
Speaker 2: But what if your parents are the problem? My mom
Speaker 2: is a narcissist. He's sarcissistic, and she uses any and
Speaker 2: everything against me, even my son, to make it seem
Speaker 2: like she's done nothing wrong, like I'm the bad guy
Speaker 2: because of the life that I live, that I chose
Speaker 2: to live like she's applies with it. Everyone at around
Speaker 2: is always put before me, and I'm always doing something wrong.
Speaker 2: So how am I to hear that time? I not
Speaker 2: to have a feeling against my mom. If she does
Speaker 2: those types of things, it says really really thinks to me.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna sit there and take it. I
Speaker 2: don't understand that I can't do that.
Speaker 3: Here's a deal, sister. First of all, I don't know
Speaker 3: the particulars. I don't know the route that you chose
Speaker 3: to go that makes you be pointed out as the
Speaker 3: bad guy. I don't know the particulars. I know that
Speaker 3: little baby's voice you got. I know you really need
Speaker 3: to go back there and fix it with your mom
Speaker 3: and daddy. Can't sound like you nine and don't sound
Speaker 3: like you're on your own. But that aside from itself,
Speaker 3: let's get serious about this.
Speaker 4: For a moment. Here's the deal.
Speaker 3: Listen to me, people, I've heard Bishop Jake say this
Speaker 3: a million times. Forgiveness is not for the other person.
Speaker 3: Forgiveness is actually for you. Because you said in your statement,
Speaker 3: I can't do that. How am I supposed to forget?
Speaker 3: I can't do that? Well, you not forgiving a person,
Speaker 3: It's like you drinking the poison, waiting on them to die.
Speaker 3: So now you got to have a reaction to your mother. Look,
Speaker 3: everybody don't get great parents, you know, ma'am. I watched
Speaker 3: my father make a few mistakes in his life, but
Speaker 3: I still loved and honored him. He was my father,
Speaker 3: and it kept us in a relationship that was a
Speaker 3: beautiful relationship with this mad because, as Shirley just said,
Speaker 3: these people are humans.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: You don't get to you don't get to stop being human.
Speaker 3: You don't get to not make mistakes. So it's really
Speaker 3: up to you. Now, if you feel that horrible about it,
Speaker 3: you're gonna just another thing. My daddy said to me,
Speaker 3: He said, son, two things can happen in life. You
Speaker 3: can get over it or you can die mad.
Speaker 4: Now you can pick one in what you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he said, son, just go and get over
Speaker 3: And I know you say, well I can't. Well, if
Speaker 3: you say you can't, then you can't, Steve Harvey, and
Speaker 3: nobody else can help you. You can go to a therapist.
Speaker 3: If you saying you can't, forgive her and let it go.
Speaker 3: There's nothing nobody can do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's not even trying, she's not going to try.
Speaker 3: I would just look write it off, Mom, she making
Speaker 3: a mistake. That's her, you know, that's it all right?
Speaker 1: Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1: We'll have more calls at eight seven seven twenty nine. Steve,
Speaker 1: You're listening hard Morning Show. It is time once again
Speaker 1: to check Steve's voicemail. These calls, we're going to continue them.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve and Steve, we have
Speaker 1: a lot of messages about yesterday's Strawberry letter. Remember it
Speaker 1: was called too Good to be True. It was about
Speaker 1: a woman who was dating a man for about a
Speaker 1: month and he took her to his high school reunion.
Speaker 1: At the reunion, he ate some bad tuna. She warned
Speaker 1: him about this tuna, telling him it didn't smell right,
Speaker 1: but he didn't listen ate it anyway. He got sick
Speaker 1: and while at home, he asked her to stay with him.
Speaker 1: She said no and suggested that he go to the er,
Speaker 1: and she left. The next day she called to check
Speaker 1: on him. He told her basically he didn't want to
Speaker 1: see her again. This is from Sophia in New Orleans.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 2: See this is Sophia from New Orleans.
Speaker 5: I'm riding to work and I'm listening to the Steve
Speaker 5: Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2: I just heard part one of the Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 5: Too Good to be True, and I'm with you one
Speaker 5: hundred percent, Steve. Because young lady does not know how
Speaker 5: to take care of a man.
Speaker 2: She should have stayed with him, She should have taken
Speaker 2: him to the hospital.
Speaker 5: She blew it, and she doesn't deserve the good man
Speaker 5: that she claimed to have had the opportunity to share
Speaker 5: one month with. She killed it.
Speaker 2: You guys, keep doing what you're doing and have a
Speaker 2: blessed day.
Speaker 3: You know, I agree with you say, because you know what, man,
Speaker 3: it don't hurt to care about a person. He was
Speaker 3: sick as hell and trying to sleep with the girl.
Speaker 3: He said, just would you stay with me? She said no,
Speaker 3: If you that's it, go to the er. Okay, Cool,
Speaker 3: here this man trying to find somebody to ride with.
Speaker 4: You know, it's just a simple test. You could have said.
Speaker 3: She could have said, hey, listen, I will stay with you,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna stay here on the sofa, and if
Speaker 3: I hear you need anything, I'm here for you.
Speaker 4: Matter. I would have made the dude feel one hundred
Speaker 4: percent better.
Speaker 3: But oh no, uh uh. If you that's sick, go
Speaker 3: to the er. I'm bouncing deuces. Okay, cool, Okay, clearly
Speaker 3: you ain't what he needs. He just worked, Okay, and
Speaker 3: that's just a sickness. And let's suppose I tell this
Speaker 3: crazy helper out and ran out of money. Bruh, bru
Speaker 3: If you ain't there, if you you, that's why I
Speaker 3: tell people about relationships. Man, your relationship got to be tested.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, sus.
Speaker 1: We have another one from Houston. Her name is Marie.
Speaker 4: Let's see what she says.
Speaker 5: Hey, Steve and the crew, this is Marie from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 5: I'm calling about the strawberry letter the guys did Tuesday.
Speaker 5: He turned out he was too good to be true.
Speaker 5: Shirley's like, you know, well, you too, let it go.
Speaker 5: And then Steve just went in on this woman because
Speaker 5: she wouldn't stay with the man. Baby who wasn't you know,
Speaker 5: thoughtful enough, wasn't smart enough to listen to She told
Speaker 5: him the tuna fish was bad. He didn't listen. He
Speaker 5: scarved down, and heled a bunch of them anyway, which
Speaker 5: is why he wound up being in the bathroom for
Speaker 5: a long damn time. And then he's mad because she
Speaker 5: wouldn't stay overnight with him and baby, and Steve's all
Speaker 5: on the woman talking about that's why you that's probably
Speaker 5: why you ain't got nobody now. Well, first of all,
Speaker 5: she had him, and secondly, he was singled who thirty
Speaker 5: eight years old, no kids, never married, So that's a
Speaker 5: bad thing for her to like still be single at
Speaker 5: that point, But not for him as some double standard, Steve,
Speaker 5: he didn't have no damn body either before he started
Speaker 5: dating her the month before, and I kind of I'm
Speaker 5: tied with the woman. She didn't feel like staying there.
Speaker 5: And then days that damn long you're talking about get
Speaker 5: some super she didn't feel like it. And if he's
Speaker 5: out because of that, oh well, he sounds like a
Speaker 5: big old man.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 5: If he just listened to her about the dad tuna
Speaker 5: fish began with his ass, wouldn't have gotten food poisoning, Sonny, Steve,
Speaker 5: you look too hard on her. Damn him, you know
Speaker 5: if his ass thirty eight, never been married and stuff,
Speaker 5: he and it sounded like too big of a prize
Speaker 5: his damn self. Bye, guys.
Speaker 3: And lady, I one hundred percent. I one hundred percent
Speaker 3: agree with you too.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: I don't really baby, Yeah, you said what you said.
