In typical VWPA fashion, we made the sudden decision to launch "Bitchy Shitshow" next week, so this week we are here with our very last VWPA episode, looking back at our first episode and examining how our thinking has changed over the years; also talking politics and SJW bullshit.

259 Family Advice, Part 2: Grief and Forgiveness

This week, we answer the first (two) of a series of questions about family. Shit gets real, and dark, and real dark.

Plus, a very long tangent about true-crime TV. Content warning for descriptions of actions by deeply emotionally abusive parents.
