Welcome back guys. I am going to be doing an episode of Voice of the Broken. I've not done one of these in a while.

Today it will be just me. Dead Eye is not going to be recording with me tonight because I didn't even give him a heads up that I was doing this. Peaches and I took a down day and I'm fucking bored out of my mind. So instead of reaching out trying to get him to run to the studio and work all the logistics out, I decided to just come to this by myself. It's been a while since I've done one of these.

And it's actually the first one that I decided to just come do this by myself. It's been a while since I've

done one of these. And it's actually the first one that I've done since we've been here because

this, I think, in the studio or in the back of the house. But I have got a 23-page email here

from one of our Patreon members. And this was sent in on July 4th so it's been sitting for a hot

My life has been a chaotic mess. grew up in a five-bedroom house with 15 people. Holy shit. There's a lot of bad shit that happened growing up there, not just for me, but for one of my cousins as well, but that's her story to tell. I was physically abused by my aunt,

which put a lot of work into getting through that trauma and have fully forgiven her.

We get along now.

She and my uncle are also very much supportive of saving my marriage.

That's awesome.

During my childhood in this house,

I struggled finding my place in the world.

Was a cutter and just awkward.

During part of the later years in this house, my grandparents got me into art classes as I enjoyed being artistic.

They plead a key role in that side of me.

Now, due to the constant abuse growing up, I've also learned for my dad to work for the things I want. Now, due to the constant abuse growing up, I've also learned for my dad to work

for the things I want at a young age. This is a very weird sentence. I want to go back to the

cutting thing. I have to adjust my body real quick. So hang on. I want to go back to the cutting thing. The cutter thing is one of those things that's not normally an acceptable
