Out With Dad (2010) s04e10 Episode Script
Counselling Vanessa - Session Twenty-Three
Hey, sorry I missed last week's appointment.
Aw, you've come consistently every week.
Plus, becoming an aunt, pretty big deal! So, is it a boy or a girl? A boy, they named him Oliver.
But they're going to call him Ollie.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
- Yeah.
I got to hold him when he was only three hours old.
He's the youngest person I've ever met.
Sound like it's made you really happy.
Yeah.
I've seen him every day this week.
How is your dad? Happy to be a grandfather? I've never seen him so adorable.
And even Jacob is not that grumpy.
And Well my mom is What about your mom? She's just being her.
You know, Vanessa, I've noticed all this time, you rarely mention her.
I'm wondering why that is.
Because I can't even talk about my mom without getting angry.
She's the reason for almost everything that's bad in my life.
Can you give me some examples? Well, she is the reason that Jacob practically hates me.
And, she is the reason Matthew moved out in the first place.
Not to mention kick Just other stuff.
She sounds like the cause of a lot of turmoil for you.
There's a lot to unpack here.
Well, there's a lot to say about her.
I'm sure there is a lot to say.
Why don't you start at the beginning? - Like, when Matthew moved out? - Sure.
It just sounds so I just don't understand how there are people like her still in this world.
She was against Matthew and Fatima from the very beginning.
Saying, that it was just a phase or something like that.
I don't know if it was because Fatima has brown skin, or she's Muslim, or she's just not-Catholic.
But It's just so embarrassing.
Embarrassing? Can you tell me more about how it's embarrassing for you? She's embarrassing.
She should be embarrassed, but she's not.
She's entitled.
And I don't want people to think I'm It's OK.
Just take your time.
What don't you want people to think? It's embarrassing being her daughter, so how does that make me look? Do people look at you a certain way, because you're her daughter? Yeah.
I had to live my life a certain way because of her and her stupid beliefs.
So, of course people looked at me a certain way.
They look at you in what way? No, it's not like they look at me.
OK, so, because of her I wasn't allowed to be around certain people.
Because she said so.
So, yeah, people would look at me a certain way, because why am I all of a sudden not their best friend? They must think I'm some kind of Vanessa, did you loose someone important, because of your mom? No.
Turns out, not that important.
Aw, you've come consistently every week.
