0:00.0	So, Birdo, I have an email from an anonymous patron in which she describes a situation
0:15.6	in which she was sexually abused by someone as when she was a child and she has a very
0:24.1	interesting thing that she wants to share. Okay. And for those of you out there who have been
0:30.4	sexually abused, you want to and you can be triggered by stuff like this, you want to proceed
0:36.8	with caution. I'm not going to provide any sort of gory details, so be aware of that, but the
0:46.2	discussion of general pedophilia will be discussed. Again, no specific graphic pictures in your
0:54.3	mind. Okay. So, before doing that, let's introduce the podcast. This is the podcast called
0:59.4	Psychology in Seattle. I am your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I am a professor and a therapist.
1:05.8	My name is Omberto Castanilla. I sell Bitcoin for cash. That's interesting.

1:49.6	children were abused for several years. Who have boys lived with? Yeah. And I am currently in
1:56.0	therapy for that. He did some very bad things to children, which are inexcusable and unforgivable.
2:03.3	That being said, when I was not being abused, this man was essentially the only father figure in my
2:09.6	life. In most aspects of life, he was a very kind man. I loved him. I relied on him and he taught me a
2:19.5	lot of things. He actually taught, he actually had a lot of empathy. I feel like I learned a lot
2:26.0	of my empathy and compassion for animals and for other people from him. He would feed all the
2:31.8	stray cats in the neighborhood and bring some of them in. I was the reason that he was caught and
