This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 199 sitting here with Echo Charles and we just got done with some

Jiu-jitsu training. We back to victory MMA is now the original victory MMA is now open and new and glorious. So the mats were utilized in a big way. So now we are back to the the mental aspect of the game you as

troopers have sent us questions we have some answers some recommendations some

courses of actions at a minimum that you can take to get yourself and keep yourself on the path of justice

So let's get to it question number one. Yeah very very useful

To not ignore keeping yourself on the patent

Because once you say all this doesn't apply I mean don't need that whatever I don't know

So yeah good tip there all right first question I'm writing because I need. I don't need that. Whatever. I don't know. So yeah, good tip there.

All right. First question. I'm writing because I need advice and don't have anyone else to turn to.

Your podcast played a major role in changing my life after my daughter was born in 2023 and getting me on the path, including starting jiu-jitsu.

I have a two-year-old daughter. Her mother and I have had a volatile relationship from the

beginning. Early on, I was wrong and became physical during arguments. Later, she had people

come to our home and assault me, resulting in hospitalization and a year-long protection order that

caused me to miss my daughter's early life.

We've tried to make it work for two years, but now I believe the relationship is destructive and must end.

I'm 26 living with toxic parents, buried in debt, facing possible court again without a car,

and afraid of losing time with my daughter.

I feel trapped and overwhelmed.

What guidance would you give me to move forward and take responsibility without collapsing?

Well, it's not, you just made like a noise of like,

um, um, you know, oh no, right?

It's a lot.
