My dad was agoraphobic shut in.

And so that was weird.

Dad didn't go outside.

You know what I mean?

And so even though I had all of those things going for me, the reality is, is like, I'm still impacted by my childhood.

And so I parent some of the same ways that maybe my parents did, which there are a lot of great ways I was parented and they were still people.

So there were some ways that I wanted to do things differently.

But if you don't go do your work and counseling, it's going to be really hard to connect with the kid that ticks you off or triggers you or makes you mad or scares you or whatever that may be.

No.

Well, you look at your parents though and you think,

they don't do anything wrong.

Yeah.

That's the belief you have as a child.

It's your superhero, right?

Well, that's all you know.

It's that tact.

Term of endearment.

It is.

And so that's why I like as the adult, you know, a lot of people are like these kids these days, kids these days, kids are really a lot of times product of the environment that they're in.

So like do your work as an individual.
