I have a question about this episode Episode 669 - David Spade and this Fatherhood Reflections. I also have a question about episode #454: Redefining Success Through Fatherhood with Jon Vroman and this Legendary Conversations. It's so hard to process. I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me.

I think this was his true self. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else?
