A child learns the rules of a house long before anyone writes them down. The story isn’t told for shock; it’s told to understand how a nervous system adapts when home becomes a surveillance state, and love looks like control.
We unpack how chronic abuse trains the mind to expect loss after joy and silence after need and why seemingly small anchors—magazines, a transistor radio, and Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind"—can be lifelines. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting or scared when life gets good, this conversation offers company.
