  • 61. Surprise, You've Got Siblings! Kate Fernandez

    I have a brother?  And a sister? Anything else you'd like to tell me?  Imagine finding out at 18, you have two siblings?  And your parents had abandoned them?  And the siblings knew about you all along?  Any family secrets you've discovered later in life?  Do you speak the same language as your parents?

    Kate's father and grandfather were both political prisoners in Cuba.  Her father could either go to the US or Spain.  Her mother was in Spain working as a nurse.  They ended up being roommates.  Amnesty led her parents to the good old US of A.

    We talk about Kate's childhood memories, suppressing those memories,  being an only child, resentment, mental health, sobriety, suicide attempt, trauma bonding, and being dumped by a friend.

    This episode is life-changing!  Stay tuned to the Better Call Daddy Show: The Safe Space for Controversy.

About Better Call Daddy

From the publisher's feed

Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does.
