November 14, 2017 The Truth We Live
Amee's dad is the life of the party. He's whacky! He makes up fun games!
He's also a very heavy drinker. And extremely violent toward Amee's mom. He lives with severe mental illness. And he's a sexual abuser.
And now, he says he doesn't remember any of it.
This is an episode about finding closure and learning to live with your version of the truth.

Jaamil’s sister died when he was just 12 years old. His grandmother and great grandmother died when he was 13. His mother died when he was 15. His brother was murdered when Jaamil was 22 ... and a week after that, his father died.
Yeah. It’s A LOT. But Jaamil’s story isn’t just about loss. It’s an episode about what loss can teach us.
