“I listened to the first episode today, and it made me think about all my friendships. I don’t open up to them until I know that they won’t make fun of me about my trauma. My bio mom is not the best. She left without saying to go to Michigan when I was 7, came back in January when I was 9, and left that summer right before I started 4th grade saying she would be gone for a week and never came back. When I was 7, I wondered why she left and thought that it was because of me for some reason. I was stuck crying for months and then one day I realized that it wasn’t my fault that she was a terrible mom, it was hers. I feel like if I share this with the wrong person, they will try to use it against me. Though luckily I have found the right friends to help me through. Last year in fourth grade, I had a friend who I walked with at recess and talked about all of it and I was crying. I was able to get all of it out and it felt really nice. She was one of the most amazing friends I have ever had.
What I was trying to say when I started typing this was that only the first episode changed my perspective about friendships. I am always the one who goes to sit in a corner while my siblings are of making friends the first time they meet someone. I am going to try harder now only because of one episode. This is a great podcast and I hope that a whole lot of people follow it because it is amazing! 😻🤩”
