Description

Today’s Trauma Candy Salad dives into the complicated, painful, and unforgettable ways fathers shape our lives—for better and for worse. From a dad who gambled away his daughter’s future, to a Navy childhood shattered by unthinkable violence, to the haunting memory of losing a father to suicide, this episode explores the lasting scars left behind. As always, we mix in a little sweetness with the candy bowl, but these stories don’t shy away from the heavy stuff.


Trigger Warnings:

This episode contains discussions of alcoholism, financial abuse, childhood trauma, domestic violence, murder, and suicide. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
