Heartachingly real and so distressing

My heart went out to the young mother, who felt no control, and to the children, tossed ok n the wind.

This story was so sweet and sorrowful. The honesty was painful and healing. I’ve been able to process some of my family of origin pain through this podcast. I feel love for this family. Thank you

Well done..but never calls Raymond what he was

Raymond was an *incredibly* narcissistic,evil man. Period. He physically abused his wife Amanda. Would rather have heard all of that stated bluntly, instead of all the wishy washy "finding positive things" or giving the benefit of the doubt.

good

This was a fantastic story and utterly captured my attention. I appreciated how the writer not only uncovered the past, but was able to demonstrate how those threads wove together to create the tapestry of the present and how one action reverberated to affect so many in this family and beyond.

✨⭐️the perfect podcast⭐️✨

very possibly the best podcast i’ve heard (and i never stop listening to them). incredible, heartfelt story; tender and nimble interviews; *extremely* high production value (think This American Life)—just the absolute best of the best. definitely too enrapturing to listen to during any task that requires concentration—10/10 a dishes / walking the dog / Any Rote Task podcast.

one of those stories that keeps pieces of your heart for itself, & that you go back to, every now & then, to visit.

(also, i’m a mental health professional & can’t stop laughing at the Ativan-obsessed reviewer. 😂. dude. if you need to critique something THAT badly, take a nap.)

Incredible honesty & willingness to share....

Trauma is a ripple affect on so many people within a family generation to generation. These people have the courage to not only face it but to share it with raw and real emotions. Thank you and God bless each of you going forward 🙏
