Summary
"It was like an episode of Dateline." Gethard takes a call from a mom with an unbelievable story—her son tried to kill her. What follows is an intense, deeply human conversation about survival, healing, and the complex realities of mental health. The caller opens up about her journey through trauma, therapy, and finding her footing again, all while showing a sharp sense of humor and an unshakable spirit. It’s a heavy one, but also full of hope, as she shares how she’s turned her pain into purpose, becoming an advocate for others.
