Turns Out My Dad Wasn't The Bad Guy My Mom Made Him Out to Be
Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of childhood emotional neglect, verbal and physical abuse, and parental abduction.
How is it that your grandmother is loving and steady to you, but failed to raise your mother in a way that she can do the same? A fellow therapist writes in about exactly that, and Whitney offers a way to hold both truths at once. In the second listener question, a woman describes growing up moving between eight houses and going to seven schools after her mother moved the kids away from their father. She then learned decades later that his side of the story was very different from the one the listener had always been told.
