“You are lovable, no matter what scars you have, and f*** that person.”
What happens when your childhood is overshadowed by a violent alcoholic father?

In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', he sits down with Paul Gilmartin to share his raw and honest journey through mental health struggles.
Growing up as one of ten siblings in a chaotic household, Neal opens up about how these early experiences have shaped his adult life, particularly his battles with trust and anger.
