About This Episode:
Jonah once shared an incredibly close relationship with his father. But when he discovered his father had sexually abused his daughter, everything changed.
What followed was a five-year legal battle, the loss of nearly 30 family relationships, and years of emotional turmoil.
Then Jonah experienced another heartbreak when his own adult son became estranged.
Candi and Jonah discuss how trauma changes families, why protecting one relationship can cost you others, and what it means to take responsibility while learning to live with loss.
Jonah shares his experience in his memoir, To the Man I Called Father: A Son's Heartbreak, a Father's War, written under a pen name to protect his family.
