Brené Brown

our family changed on her back.

Like she was the first person to go to therapy.

She left my dad.

She got us into therapy.

She worked three jobs.

She, she changed everything.

She talked about the long history of addiction in our family, you know, on both sides, everywhere.

She changed our family.

And so to say she was like, you know, somebody who I respected and revered, like was, is an understatement.

And, you know,

And we did so much healing work around kind of how she showed up as a parent in her marriage with my dad.

And so then the one day I went to go take care of her and I saw that thing that hadn't seen since I was 14, you know, and I'm 54, you know, and it literally like, I couldn't drive.

Like it brought me physically to my knees.

Like, like my husband had to come and get me.

And I don't like,

I can't talk about it without getting emotional because it's not like I blamed my mom because she's in the middle of this disease.

But it was like I didn't see her for two months after that.

And Steve kept saying, I can't.

And he's like, you got to heal from that.

I mean, just imagine being dropped back in a worst case scenario situation when you were 13 or 14.
