Phone Call With Mom
08/20/22 • 48 min
This episode is a recorded phone call by an NPE to his mom. Jeff Frame, a documentary filmmaker, found out 8 years ago that the abusive father he thought was his dad, wasn't. A day and a half later, he called his mom to confront her. This is that call. No edits, just the straight phone call. It's raw, it's emotional and maybe triggering for some people.
I am not a therapist by any means and do not condone nor condemn what Jeff did or said while he was so hurt and ripped open. But I think hearing their conversation will deepen our understanding into the complexities of finding out your dad isn't your dad and the decisions that were made to hide that from NPEs.

Emails from a woman who hates NPEs
In this episode I read an email exchange between me and this woman who hates NPEs and NPE podcasts. And I think it comes out funny. You be the judge.
It really dumbfounds me how nasty and mean people can be and then have absolutely zero ability to see themselves. So sit back, put on your seatbelt and get ready to hate someone. Or maybe agree with someone.
