Imagine growing up in California during the 1970s with a father who was a World War II combat sergeant, teaching you to be tough in unimaginable ways—like having your teeth drilled without novocaine. That was Becky Ellis's reality. In this episode of On Purpose, Becky shares her harrowing yet inspiring story, shedding light on the complex dynamics of her family, her father's PTSD and alcoholism, and a poignant visit when he was 89, where he asked her if they had any unresolved issues. Get ready to hear about a childhood that was far from ordinary and the profound impact it had on Becky and her siblings.
