This episode is for a lot of people. It's for anyone who has ever gone through a divorce with kids. It's for anyone who has ever remarried with kids. It's for anyone who has ever lived with someone with mental illness. It's for anyone struggling with their own mental illness. But it's also for Magistrate Christie at the Court of Common Pleas, Wood County, Ohio. I think this would be enlightening for her.

The only person this episode is not for is the titular character, Rebecca. Because I don't make podcast episodes for people who leave their mental illness untreated until they do irreparable damage to countless people around them. This episode is how that affected me.

This episode is also about why I ultimately made the decision to completely change my life and become a clinical therapist. But if the titular character decided to listen to every word, she might be surprised by how respectfully I talked about my experience. And you might be too. If you know anything at all about my second marriage, listen to the entire 90 minutes. You might be surprised to hear a level of honesty that I've rarely reached in life.

Episode 4 will return us to our normal subjects: life, love, music, relationships, and religion. But this episode needed to be made. If I'm going to call this podcast Bear Comes Clean, I damn well be prepared to be 100% honest. And I was. See you all again on October 29th. Oh also, Hello Audio is cool. Check them out.
