S14·E24 Robin and Cameran's Day Off

Jacquese explains that he didn't meet his dad until he was in second or third grade and they are currently estranged. His mom played a significant role in his life and Jacquese really looks up to her; and strives to make her proud of him.

At dinner with Jaime, Jacquese breaks down because he has so much built up anger from not knowing his dad and not being able to learn from his dad. He feels like he missed out on a lot by not having a father in his life.

When Jacquese's mom arrives for a visit, the roommates instantly love the young, hip lady. Jacquese and his mom talk about his father. Jacquese notes he has never had a chance to tell her father how he really feels about him. Jacquese's mom recommends he open up to his dad and begin to let go of his anger. ""Forgiveness is not for the person you are forgiving; forgiveness is for you,"" she wisely tells her son.
