The following episode contains possibly triggering content, including the sexual assault of a minor.

Listener discretion is advised.

Oh, and for legal purposes, this is all my opinion.

Allegedly.

If you're in an abusive relationship, you're encouraged to end it.

If you're in a toxic friendship, you're encouraged to let it go and move on.

But if you have an unhealthy relationship with family, people will tell you that you should really

try to stick it out and see it through.

They're your family.

What obligation do you owe someone just because they're family?

That's something I have been trying to answer as I go through this journey.

I'm not sure you have any obligation

to anyone, but yourself and your convictions. In my case, simply bringing up skeptical behavior

or asking questions seems to be towing a moral line. And you should know something before this episode begins.

That line is about to get crossed.

Thank you. Black family dynamics are complex. Commertery is important.
