Anyway there are many new vocabulary for me in this video like: to disown; for the sake os sb; to be on the verge of sth; to lash out at sb and sibling. So, very useful.
This kind of programme shows that there are others with problems like yours. It might give you ideas on how to resolve your problem.
I don't really like THESE TV PROGRAMMES. I think it's a shame they try to solve their problems on TV INSTEAD OF trying to solve them in private. It's ALSO A SHAME people are interested in other's problems.../ IT'S A SHAME THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE .... (I am not sure which sense you mean)
But I was interested in the story and I´ve tried other times.
The interviewer speaks very quickly. Doesn´t he?

You should check a few of the expressions in a dictionary. It's a great way to learn new vocabulary.
It would help my Spanish so much if there were decent subtitles.
I think most programmes don't have any at all.
What do the deaf do?!
In the UK, even live events have subtitles. I don't know how they do it.
THESE ARE REAL SUBTITLES from English television, it's awesome (YUK - AN AMERICAN IMPORT), with colors (YUK - AN AMERICAN SPELLING)for DIFFERENT people, and they have THEM in all the main programs (ANOTHER AMERICAN SPELLING), I don't know if they translate THEM LIVE BECAUSE* THEY ARE ALWAYS a bit later than the people talking, but I THINK* THEY ARE very good, BETTER than the Spanish ONES.
* Be careful to use a subject after "I think.." and "... beacause ..."
When are you going to join us again Joaquin??
