Episode notes

As I reached adolescence, she really could not handle my growing into an independent person with different opinions or ways of life and all of this. For her that pain of separation was so intense that she kind of turned on me. So I probably took it harder than maybe someone with a thicker skin would have.

On this weekend episode of the Daily Dad, Ryan speaks with Susan Cain about parental relationships, not just with their children but their own parents and how past grievances can influence your role as a guardian.
