look at your parents and to explore the relationship that you have with one of your, one or both of your parents through the filter of your adult self, rather than just the filter of your, um, little boy or little girl self. And, um, it will, it will absolutely change your life. So that was a very, I wrote that chapter as he was dying. He kind of died unexpectedly, but he died.

I was writing that chapter and it was, I have a lot of case studies in there of all sorts of experiences with parents and, you know, yeah, you have to start to think of them differently. And I lost both my parents, and I was close to my stepfather, and I lost him too.

And one thing that I learned about, and I was very close with my mom, but of course, there's certain things that mother-daughter relationships can be kind of complicated. And I learned something profound about relationships with parents after they died, which is that you kind of let go of some of the resentments that you had when they were alive. And you build a little compassion.

You could decide to never speak to your parent again. But you have to do that from a clear head, not from a place of reaction. Because I was estranged from my father for 13 years or something, and it did not help me. What helped me was learning how to not be afraid of him and to start to stand up for myself and to also start to examine the story that I've had about him for so many years.

Yeah. Well, again, it's hard. Your parents as children, they're supposed to be our heroes, but then you grow up and you realize you're just a person, just like me. And maybe there can be some compassion there because of that.
