So you know it's willing to dive in and look at: hey, you know the similarities, you know, I've got things that I have to be mindful of, and then more is discovered.
Imagine being a kid shuffled from one parent to another, with little stability or supervision. That was Pete's reality. Growing up angry and hurt, he acted out and found himself institutionalized at a young age. Pete describes these youth homes and jails as 'gladiator schools', where he learned the harsh rules of survival. Relying on his instincts, and later on booze and drugs, Pete eventually ended up in a California treatment center.
There, he began to peel away the layers of his past, gaining a deeper understanding of humility and character defects. Pete's journey is one of raw survival turning into a quest for innocence and healing. This episode is a gripping tale of resilience and transformation, perfect for anyone who has faced or is facing similar struggles.
