She is a mother who plays, really plays.

What I love about Charlie.

He loves being a dad. He loves the things

you're supposed to hate, like waking up at night.

She knows when to push me, when to leave me alone.

He never lets other people keep him

from what he wants to do.

-Dad, you're too far. -I know.

It's not easy for her to close a cabinet.

-He's incredibly neat. -She's brave.

He's brilliant.

-She's very competitive. -He's very competitive.

So, I'll tell Charlie what's happening,

and Cassie, you then hand him the envelope.

I just get nervous.

Well, can you un-serve?

You mean like take it back?

Charlie and I are getting a divorce, Mom.

You can't be friends with him anymore.

-G-ma! -Charlie-bird!

Mom.

Mom?

What?

You know, most people in my business,

you're transactions to them. I like to think of you as people.

Oh, okay, good.

You remind me of myself on my second marriage.

Part of what we're gonna do together is tell your story.

-Did you dye your hair again? -No, this is me.

You don't like it?

Is it shorter? I prefer it longer, but...

How are you doing?

I realized I didn't ever really come alive for myself.

I was just feeding his aliveness.

I'll never get to really be his parent again.

He needs to know I fought for him.

It's not as simple as not being in love anymore.

Eventually, it'll be the two of you

having to figure this out...

together.

If we start from a place of reasonable,

and they start from a place of crazy,

when we settle,

we'll be somewhere between reasonable and crazy.
