This week's conversation! Part one of two. Every family has their issues. All too common among immigrant families there exists pressures that produce lasting inter-generational trauma. Add in the competition of East Asian and American culture and now you've got yourself a volatile mixture. This week we discuss the defining traumas of our youth and there is no way around it --- this episode, and the next one, will be heavy and is largely devoid of levity (aside from some discussions of Sybian sex toys?) and comes with a trigger warning for descriptions of child abuse. It's a lot of darkness but we promise you can better see the light because of it.
