I have a question about the episode Episode 608 - Kurt Metzger and the clip Mental Health Matters. I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me. But as soon as he noticed that I wasn't going to open up and that his emotional manipulation didn't work, he started calling me the worst things he could think of and became extremely aggressive.
