I have a question about this episode 889: Win Against Addiction Uncovers Old Afflictions | Feedback Friday and this clip Healing Through Apology. It's so hard to process. I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me. But as soon as he noticed that I wasn't going to open up and that his emotional manipulation didn't work, he started calling me the worst things he could think of and became extremely aggressive. I think this was his true self. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else?
Just one more reason that this apology might be very welcome and much easier than he thinks, and it can just heal the wound and they can move on. But this script that you just laid out, Jordan, I think it's beautiful and it's efficient, and I completely agree. And look, in this conversation, I probably wouldn't get into your childhood and how that might have factored into the stealing. Your only job here is to own this and say, I'm sorry, and later, when the time is right, if the time is right, and if you feel it's necessary, you guys can sort through all of that other stuff that brought you to that point of stealing. But that's a separate conversation, and I'm guessing one that will go better if you really nail this apology.
