What do you do when the person who swore they’d never hurt you… does it anyway?
This episode is about betrayal—not the loud kind, but the kind wrapped in silence and convenience. Chris shares the raw story of how his children were stolen from him in 2006, how the military discarded him at his lowest, and how, in 2025, the same emotional wounds are being reopened by the very woman who once promised to protect him.
From military trauma to family exclusion, this episode exposes what it feels like to be cut in the same place twice—and the strength it takes to stand anyway.
To every father who’s been erased, silenced, or used as emotional retribution for someone else’s guilt—this one is for you.
