The ‘Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell’, which will air on the afternoon of the 6th, will be a 4-week special on family counseling to celebrate the new year of 2025. Family issues that are always connected to couples counseling. In the past 3 months, there have been hundreds of stories posted on the family counseling notice. The first main characters are a son who says that his childhood past was completely dark and a mother who doesn‘t remember a single thing about her past, like a blank sheet of paper; the ‘Black and White Family’.



The son says that the things he heard from his mother in the past still torment him now that he is 34 years old. The son says that he always lives in tension due to trauma and even avoids relationships with people. He was so afraid of meeting his mother that he canceled his application to appear after hearing the production team’s notice that even the pre-meeting would be with his mother. However, the mother does not remember the harsh words her son said she heard in the past, and claims that she cared more for the child than others and did her best to raise him while raising him alone after the divorce. Dr. Oh Eun-young, who has been closely observing the son‘s behavior, says that the son’s depression index is “the highest among the cast members I have seen in the past two years.” The son has been hearing his mother‘s harsh words since he was in the fourth grade of elementary school.



He was shocked when he accidentally saw an entry in his mother’s diary that said, “I am the son born from a failed (abortion).” The son claims that his mother often spoke harshly to him when she was having a hard time. On the day of the CSAT, he said that after his mother started verbally abusing him, he started to avoid her. The son said that he wanted to study hard and ease his mother‘s worries because he knew how hard his mother had worked to raise him alone since he was young. However, perhaps because of the pressure, he said that on the day of the CSAT, he was not as good as usual.



The son said he was sorry for disappointing his mother before expressing his disappointment in himself. However, his mother said, “Because of you, I don’t have the face to face with my relatives. Go out and get hit by a car.” The MCs showed disbelief at her shocking remark. The son even blocked his mother‘s contact information due to her repeated verbal abuse. However, the mother, who was listening to her son’s story, said she didn‘t remember the day of the CSAT either.

The mother who doesn’t remember the verbal abuse she used, and the son who suffered from his mother‘s verbal abuse his entire life. The memories of these two people are so different. How did Dr. Oh Eun-young diagnose why the two people showed such a big gap regarding the same incident? Dr. Oh Eun-young’s healing report for the ‘Black and White Family’ can be seen on the 104th episode of ‘Oh Eun-young Report - Family Hell’ on Monday, January 6th at 10:45 PM.
