Daddy Dearest: From the History Tapes - betrayal and the road to the Sullivanians
This episode weaves an intricate tale that begins with a wedding invitation and pulls at the threads of an emotional odyssey navigating the murky waters of a narrative steeped in abandonment, lies, and a profound search for the truth from my mother and estranged father, that would pave the way to the Sullivanians
There was a reunion where my sister and I were faced with the complex emotions of rekindling the long-lost connections with our father whose approval still felt like the cornerstone of our existence. We're confronted with the superficiality of his gestures and his strange declaration, "That's what fathers are for" and grapple with the innate desire for parental affirmation.
Eight years pass and then during the rawest of conversations with my mother, she unveils secrets that have simmered beneath the surface for decades. Prompted by my therapist I'm meeting with my father who amid the clinking of dinnerware, has some revelations of his own. As they tumble out my emotions are stretched thin, and with these betrayals, you bear witness to what eventually led me to the Sullivanians and the the enduring struggle to understand the past
The complete documentary Through a BlueWindow can be seen on my youtube channel shellfein1. I would love to hear your thoughts.
