EPISODE 2 — Abandonment, Foster Care & Finding Identity: Darlee’s Truth

In Episode 1, we opened the door to betrayal trauma — the kind of wound that follows you into adulthood and shapes how you trust, love, and rise.

But betrayal doesn’t only come from partners.

Sometimes betrayal comes from the very people and systems meant to protect you.

In Episode 2 of SUITT & BOOT, Tshai sits down with Darlee Rodriguez, who shares her powerful story of growing up in foster care — and ultimately aging out of the system without the stability or security every child deserves.

Darlee opens up about:

• The emotional reality of foster care instability
• How abandonment becomes a lifelong wound
• What it feels like to age out with no safety net
• The search for identity without roots or guidance
• Healing the attachment wounds created in childhood
• Building resilience from a place of deep rejection

If Episode 1 explored betrayal trauma in intimate relationships…
 Episode 2 uncovers how early abandonment creates the blueprint for every relationship that follows.

This conversation is vulnerable, powerful, and deeply healing.
