What if the person you resent the most is actually the key to your freedom?
Growing up with a severely alcoholic mother, Matthew Whittington learned early that addiction doesn't just destroy the addict, it devastates everyone in their orbit. He harboured anger, isolated himself, became someone he didn't recognise, and even contemplated suicide. When his mother died from complications of alcoholism without ever getting sober, Matthew thought he'd carry that bitterness to his own grave.
Then, a random radio interview changed everything.
In this conversation, Matthew shares how one moment of unexpected empathy shattered decades of resentment, how he finally forgave his mother, and the surprising truth about who was hardest to forgive: himself.
