When Cheating Isn't the Worst Part - Soft Evidence

What this episode covers

My dad cheated on my mom. They're getting a divorce. And the hardest part? It wasn't even the affair. In this episode, I get honest about growing up inside an unhappy marriage, what it really means when a parent says "I'm staying for the kids," and the moment I realized I had been carrying a weight that was never mine to hold. We also get into the psychology behind it, parentification, triangulation, and why so many of us who grew up in broken homes struggle to love freely as adults.
