Beth grew up like all of us, thinking that what was happening in her home with her parents was normal. Her dad’s behavior seemed fine, because she didn’t know anything different. But as she grew old, she felt something was off. Her dad was cruel. He was hard to predict. Because, sometimes he was really nice, too. It took Beth a long time to unravel the story of her dad. 

This episode is about how to deal with your own parent when they struggling and their struggle negatively affects you. It’s about what happens when a parent has a mental illness, but doesn’t seek support. Beth found her way. She decided to tell her story on the show in the hope that by sharing it, she might help a listener recognize her own experience. 

Beth’s story is entitled “I thought the whole Problem was Me”
