casino, American social casino, uh, Mojo on the morning show phone number 844 Mojo live 844-665-6548. I want to do something kind of nice and heartwarming now on the show. And Mike has the story of the day when it comes to that. And it's sometimes on the show that you get to learn a lot about us and you hear some of the stories of what makes us. And sometimes not all the stories are great, happy, nice stories. Sometimes the stories actually turn into some childhood drama or trauma, depending on which way you like to put it. And this is nice that, because I was, when Mike told us this in our pre-show meeting of a topic that he wanted to bring up i thought i feel so good about this i know our listeners will feel good about this so for those who've been long-time listeners of the show mike who's in grand rapids he runs our 104.5 snx radio station uh while we're on the air but he's also a major part of the mojo in the morning show we all know he just had a beautiful third baby we all know the story about how amazing of a dad he is we also know that he's the sexy mexi all that well but some people might remember back when mike talked as he was going into his relationship with uh ali and getting married that mike had a kind of struggled relationship with his mother and i'll let you take it from

here mike uh so i'm so hesitant about this because i really don't want to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing my mom and I had a had a falling out back when my wife and I first started dating and it was childish behavior on my end it was my mom feeling bad for how I grew up and me being okay with who I am but her still apologizing for like things that she didn't do when I was a kid and and stuff like that I'm her oldest son and so her oldest kid and so I think you know it was the first child so she tried things she did things as a parent now I fully understand that situation and I never took it to heart or anything like that but there was always moments where like we just didn't sink because there was so much childhood uh drama and then my my father passed away um who I was very close to very very very close to and when that happened And I decided that at least I had to make sure that my daughter, Cecily, who's now nine, but at the time was probably about three, would be able to see her grandmother because I never wanted to take that away from her because I didn't have her around my dad a lot because I was always so busy. I was busy. I was always busy. I was always doing something. Busy on purpose. I don't know. I think so. Yeah. and

And so I made it, and I figured to just do that. And for the longest time, we would get so close, and this is why I'm so hesitant about bringing it up. And I would love to someday, when we get to this point, have her on the air and have us talk about it. But she's so scared to because we talked about her many shows ago. We talked about her, and it wasn't in good light, and it was a bad situation. But we get so close, and then we would just go back that same rabbit hole.

Then just tell the good news. Tell exactly what you told us this morning and let us kind of cherish what is good going on right now.

I know, but I'm sure people go through some hesitance because I don't want to ruin it. I don't want to.

No, just say what you said this morning. Manifest more of what's happening by saying it.

So since my son was born, my mom came to the hospital, which was huge. She was there right away. We've been in contact more and more than we have in years, and we're moving forward with our relationship. We're getting closer again. We're going on a camping trip coming up later in July. We're going on this charity walk in August. It's just doing little things here and there, seeing each other, and it isn't for, like, a babysitter situation or a holiday. It's just to spend time with each other. And I think that relationship is going in the way of us having a great mother-son relationship again,

which is huge. So, since your children have been born, and especially now that you have a third, you and your mom have repaired the relationship that was such a struggle for a while.

I think we're headed in that direction, yes. I think it's incredible.

Yeah. Honestly. Yeah. I think everybody, come on, give it up. Give it up. Clap. Everybody clap. I'm clapping. All right. Megan's not. She's not sitting there clapping. Well, I know that- She's not happy for you, Mike.

No, I know there's other people on this show that have that struggle with their parents, and I thought that maybe they could relate. Yeah, for sure. And if you have advice on how to keep this going or should I be hesitant, I don't even know.

I think, Mike, that this is awesome, and I think that you see this a lot. I think birth and death brings families sometimes closer together. Sometimes it draws you further apart. And I think that the fact that the birth of your children and the fact that the death of your father, both of those has been an amazing healing thing for you and your mom. And the fact that your kids now can have a relationship with this woman who, listen, we all know what we were like in the past, right? You talk about it all the time, Mike. You talk about what you were like in the past and you don't ever want people to think of you like that. Your mom probably similar to that, you know, and I'm not going to speak for her because I don't know the situation, but you grow up and when you get older, you definitely hopefully make smarter choices. And I think that I'm going to tell you that I am proud of you for giving it a shot and I'm proud of your mom for being there too.

Well, thank you. Have you ever had somebody in your life where you want to be close to them and they've burned you a couple times or there's been a bad drama and you're like trying to make it right but you're so hesitant still because you're afraid that that's going to happen still. I don't know how to get over that. You know what I mean?

I think that the best thing to do is just take it day by day and live in the moment. When your mom showed up at the hospital when you had Enrique. Sergio. Why? I don't know. Emmanuel. Daniel, Sebastian, Sebastian, when you had Sebastian, I don't even know, you know what it is, I think it's the middle name that throws me off on this one, you don't have to say the middle name, when you had Sebastian, when your mom showed up, what were you thinking?

Well, there's a lot of emotions going on in that moment, I think I was, I was, I felt like I understood what she was going through, she had three kids too at home, most of the time, and there were stepbrothers and sisters too, so it's kind of the same dynamic now, and I understand the struggle of the first child and you're not knowing what to do. You don't know what to do, and I still don't know what to do, but the second, you kind of get it a little bit, and the third, you just feel whole. You feel complete. You feel like you've – and this could happen with the second or even the first, but with our family specifically, it just felt like we understood each other.

How is Allie as the in-law with this? Because I know that when there are issues in our family that Chelsea and I kind of take upon, you know, like when Chelsea's had issues with her biological father, you know, it made me so sad that she, you know, felt a hole in her heart for that. And then me with issues in my family with my dad and stuff, like how is Allie with this? got to be very very happy to to see you happy uh yeah i think so i think so she's always tried to to get me to do stuff and and and she's been the middle man in some of it where like we'll set up a uh like an event or a day out or whatever it might be and she would be the middle person to kind of set it up so that i didn't say the wrong because there were moments where like if one of us said the wrong thing to each other it would be a whole situation and it was just constant drama for the longest time and I had to separate from it and I think she had to separate from me too and we bit we did both grow because of it I wouldn't I wouldn't change a thing how

incredible and to Allie's testament that she you know worked so hard to help you repair that yeah

she is a saint she she's a hundred percent a saint and somebody who is my ride or die forever

Angel, what's going on? You just heard Mike talk about how the birth of his children has brought him and his mom together.

Yeah, I think it's awesome. I was in a similar situation. When I found out I was pregnant, my mom did not talk to me until I was about four months along. Yeah.

What was she upset about, or what was she not talking to you about?

I think more like, I mean, I was 23, still in college, and I think she was more worried about me not being ready. You know, I wasn't married. And eventually, I mean, I met somebody else and got married. But I say go for it. Like, I mean, my mom and I are very close now. And get back with your mom.

Isn't it great that grandbabies can do this You know You always hear the story about how much People love their grandbabies It's different than your children And then a lot of times they feel like They need to make up for maybe what they didn't have With their children

Can it also be really hurtful that that parent is The parent that you needed as a child And didn't do it for you but did it for the grandkids

Is it Mike? That is a Yes I think so Sometimes yeah But I also then look at my son, who I'm also trying to redo my own childhood through him and through my other son and my daughter. And so what I would have wanted for me then is I've become, and I want her to be for him as well. And it's hard at first, but I feel less bad and less selfish when I feel like I'm giving it to my kids, too.

Lauren, what's happening? It's Mojo in the morning.

Hi, Mike. and Mojo and everybody, Mike, first of all, I'm so, so proud of you. I always hear through your voice what an amazing dad you are. And if you want to adopt a 29-year-old, I would love for you to adopt me. And the other thing is nobody ever regrets making up with their parent. They always regret not doing it. So you are doing the right thing. And if you happen to get your heart broken again, hopefully not. But always remember the key word is boundaries. Always have boundaries between you and your mom. Don't give too much too soon. Don't put your wall down too soon. you know just take it one step at a time and just go from there and you know you're talking to a girl who hasn't seen her dad in about 23 years he went to go get milk and never came back and i'm not ready to talk to him but maybe one day i will but for you i'm so proud of you so megan gives the

gave the uh they nah like one of the when you said that and then megan for those that don't know has had uh you know um not a not a great mom situation her mom it was not great yeah this topic's hard

because i am really happy for mike but i'm hearing a lot of things that i hear from people in general when i talk about my relationship with my mom and a lot of times i have a really hard time hearing this because i don't agree with a lot of it and but again you're also a girl who's you're very

tough and to you I think toxic is toxic like there's people out there that's like I don't care if you're my mom my dad my sister toxic is toxic and I'll cut you off and that's okay to be that way because you're protecting your mental peace but for the other people who are just you know want to do better and not and not that strong and they want to you know rekindle that

relationship let them it's okay even like that they want to do better like I don't want to do better is is hurtful and i think a lot of times when we say nobody ever regrets reconnecting with their parents but they regret not reconnecting with them i don't feel like that is necessarily a fair statement either because there are parents out there who continue the cycle no matter how many times yeah you forgive and let back in and and that's not healthy there's no i don't believe

there's a blueprint of for everybody everybody's different and and that's why i i do to

agree i'm glad that you said that to her on that um i i also like that you said to mike i'm happy

for you mike because i think that i am yeah and i know you are it's it's really difficult because i i understand the lack of parental relationship so i'm very envious that you are able to bridge that gap but i'm also very cautious for you as well yeah yeah you and you made a great point i

moved out at 16 17 years old and i could have used you know my mom then and i wish you know that she had done certain things then but we have since then you know i've grown up you know she's grown up and i couldn't be happier that we're moving in this direction but i also making him

very cautious uh aaron comment from you yes uh i'm happy for you mike and i understand what were going through because i didn't have a mom growing up and then after my daughter was born five years ago my mom has been more in my life since then

and now he's out of our life because of his phone aaron oh boy no i'm still here oh there you are you okay you stopped talking there for a second i thought maybe were you finished yeah okay all Thanks, Aaron. Aaron, thank you. It's nice to know that everything is, you know, is good.

Oh, yeah. It's been a lot better since my daughter was born, and then it got a lot better after my ex-wife and I split.

Yeah. You know, the thing I think I'm most happy for you, Mike, and the thing I think that sometimes you've got to, like, give yourself a little forgiveness on is when we got into this topic, the way that you told us this topic off the air, You were like confident to tell the topic And then we went on the air You got really unconfident Because I know that you feel like you're walking on eggshells And you don't want to offend your mom But I don't believe that you'll offend your mom By just saying, mom, I'm happy you're back in my life right now Because the way that you are right now Is what I've wanted from you

And I hope it stays this way And gets even better

And that's one of the points I make, Mike Every situation is different I got daddy issues and all that type of stuff But when we want something bad in life And it sounds like you want this relationship to work out The only thing I would say is the power of your belief Has to be stronger than the power of your doubt And if you lead with belief And you lead with love Which it seems like you do with everything Then I think it'll lead you to a great place

Thank you, I like that Thank you, thank you all of you Well I will say that In the thing with Mike I can't finish it because he had a really good saying So I don't know why I even talked afterwards What you just said was perfectly said I will push this button
