As a boy, Bart Schuchts thought his family was normal. But in reality, it was very broken. When he was five years old, his dad left after cheating on his mom. He remembers his mom crying herself to sleep at night. Seeing the devastation his dad left, he swore to never be like him.
But in college, his worst fear came true. Sleeping around and using women, he realized: “I am just like my father.” Thankfully, his story didn’t end there. In this episode, he shares:
- How he overcame his anger, lust, depression, despair, and self-hate
- The hurt he felt from opening up to the wrong people about his struggles
- How he learned to have compassion for his father and even forgive him
