During Oprah's Lifeclass, Bishop T.D. Jakes' discussion about children and their lofty expectations of parents strikes a nerve with Oprah. Oprah says she's had to learn to meet people—including her own mother—where they are and love them at the level they can receive it. Watch as Oprah and Bishop T.D.
