00:00I want to talk to someone.
00:02I'm all for that. I've always said you seem a little manic depressive.
00:08I need to be with my mom.
00:09Jesus.
00:10It's important. She's in...
00:12Crisis. She's always in crisis.
00:14I was bad, honey.
00:16You shouldn't be drinking, Mom. You know that.
00:22Laird thinks I do a good job.
00:24The school psychologist?
00:26So every day, I make my daily goals super easy and short.
00:32Yeah?
00:33Because she complains about mood swings.
00:35A lot.
00:36And even last night, she said her day can be going great,
00:39and she'll see something or hear something,
00:41and it'll just set her off.
00:42You wouldn't care if I was dead.
00:44I could be gasping for air on the side of the road,
00:47and you'd just leave me right there to die.
00:51I don't really have time for this.
00:53I am someone who will create time to help students.
00:56I will do that.
00:58But I only do it for students who actually ask me for help.
01:02I'm capable of being honest with you and with myself and with everyone.
01:11I'm trying to have a better relationship with my mom!
01:15Mom!
01:16Mom!
01:21Mom!
01:26Mom!
01:35Mom!
