Hey, I'm a 19 year old male and I've been consuming your content for about seven months.

After listening to RTR, many columns, and other of your shows, I understood the need to address

the abuse and transgressions that I experienced to the child with my parents.

I've talked to my parents multiple times,

both together and one-on-one.

My mother, after a few aggressive conversations,

has been receptive to my perspective and has started therapy as a result of our talks.

My dad, however, has only gotten more and more aggressive with each conversation.

After our last talk, I decided I could not in good conscience go over to my parents' house and have not talked to my father's sense.

I find myself conflicted on how to navigate the future relationship with my parents.

I imagine it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to maintain a relationship with my mother while

avoiding my father but I don't feel right cutting off both parents as she has been receptive to

my criticisms. I know there is something that I'm missing or avoiding that would give me clarity and I will say that

value your... Oh sorry, you just lost audio quality there, you got all Tini, I don't know if you hit something or...

No, I'm not sure.

Okay, I think you better now.

So sorry, if you could just read the last part again.

Yeah, I know there's something that I'm missing or avoiding that would give me clarity

of my decision and I would greatly value your assistance in uncovering it.

Right. Well, I'm sorry to hear about all of this, of course.

It's always quite sad, if not very sad, when families have these kinds of challenges.

So yeah, I'm all the ears do you want to tell me your experience as a child and and what brought you to this this place?
