In this episode of **Chopped By T Podcast**, we sit down for a powerful conversation about growing up in a home impacted by **addiction, alcoholism, domestic violence, and childhood trauma**.
Our guest opens up about watching his father abuse his mother, stepping into the role of protector at a young age, and what it was like growing up while both of his parents battled addiction. We explore how those childhood experiences can follow you into adulthood—affecting relationships, trust, manhood, and the way you view yourself.
But this conversation isn't only about trauma. We also talk about **breaking generational cycles, forgiveness, healing, purpose, spirituality, and what it takes to become something different from the environment that raised you.**
How do you heal from a childhood you had no control over? How do you forgive your parents while still acknowledging the ways their decisions affected you? And when you've spent your childhood surviving, how do you finally learn how to live?
This is a conversation about **pain, survival, healing, and turning what you went through into purpose.**
