Summary
On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah and Zak help a listener who’s worried about firearms in their in-laws’ home. They have a strained relationship already, and a recent argument led to threatening words that are lingering. If this parent wouldn’t let their kids be in a friend’s house with guns, should family be an exception?
We’ll also debrief with a round of triumphs and fails — including two triumphs about the beauty of abandoning ship.
