Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes a call from a 32-year-old woman who wants children but ends relationships the moment they get too close. He traces it to her dominating mother and passive father, and says she needs to face her anger at her parents and prove she can handle real closeness before expecting a stable husband and family.
