About this video
Shelton mediates a situation where one friend, Melissa, feels ghosted by her former best friend Cara after a year and a half of silence. Through separate conversations, Shelton uncovers that Cara cut off contact because Melissa dated a man Cara had confided she liked, and later Cara reconnected with and became pregnant by that same man. Shelton encourages Cara to finally communicate the truth to Melissa directly.
