I'm pretty scared of everything, like having a raging father, and it comes out of me in anger because I want to be tough, I don't want to be taken down...

In this episode of the 'Adult Child' podcast, Andrea sits down with Shitshow Margaurette, who opens up about her tumultuous journey from a dysfunctional family to finding healing and recovery.
