Like the song says, sometimes we need somebody to lean on. Or
talk to, human to human. In this episode a look at telephone
support lines.
Also in this episode, my brief look at the movie Honey Boy, I can't
say if it is a good or bad movie because it spiked into some
vintage pain for me and I had to leave. I explain more in the
podcast.
I can say that if you are triggered by verbal or emotional abuse
then this might be a flick that you might need to watch in
segments. Or not at all. Then again, it might resonate with you and
give you a lot to think about.
