#53: A conversation with my dad about our relationship, how it’s changed over the years, his life and how it impacted his parenting, and how we are all doing the best we can in each moment

The Demetra Gray Show

Oct 24 2022 • 2 hrs 6 mins

My dad and I were like “oil and water” as he says when I was younger. Through trauma in our family and my parents splitting up, I ended up cutting him out of my life entirely for a few months, and we had a rocky relationship for years. Now my dad is one of my favorite people on the planet and we have a really smooth and loving relationship. In this episode he tells some entertaining stories from his life, and we talk about him as a child and him as a parent, the shifts our relationship has gone through and how we both view that differently, and how our relationship healed. There are some really tender moments in here and places where you can hear some of the pain we have caused each other, and also the love that ultimately carried us through it all.
