Reckoning With Your Dad's Dark Past & Befriending His Secret Girlfriend | Mommy Issues Podcast

If you're a man over 50 listening to this podcast (and you're not), she doesn't want to f*** you. On this episode of Mommy Issues, we have two people seeking our advice on addressing family secrets involving their dads. The first one is heavier situation regarding a pretty serious allegation that happened in one of the dad's past lives. The second one involves a dad's secret relationship that's taken a pretty embarrassing turn and his inability to really understand the f***ed up gravity of his current situation. How do you initiate these conversations? Should they even be addressed? How do you reckon with your dad in both these scenarios? Wendy and I do our best to offer some sound advice.
