Today is a celebration. Pour yourself some champagne — I've reached the magical level of podcasting where people are angry about things I didn't say, names I didn't use, and jokes they've decided to treat like sworn testimony. So this one opens with a little fan mail: a toast to the haters, a quick word with God (we're boys, we get each other), and the one thing I need everybody to understand — you can love people and still tell the truth about what happened to you. Both things can be true at the same time.
Then we get back in the time machine. Chapter 2 ended with me going into labor at 18. This chapter is what came home from the hospital with me: a baby I loved more than my own life, and a relationship where I had to fight for permission to be my own son's mother. The flowers that vanished to a house I never agreed to live in. The 3 a.m. calls. The beginning of the pattern that would run the next sixteen years.
