In this episode, I sit down with guests from DASO and Ingamo Homes for another real-time Reddit reaction — and this one is as unforgettable as it is heartbreaking.
A mother-in-law decides to “teach a lesson” about what it means to be a man. Her tactic? Destroying her son-in-law’s cherished Millennium Falcon Lego set.
What might look like “tough love” is actually something far more dangerous: emotional abuse disguised as care. We unpack the toxic family dynamics at play, why “abuse out of love” is still abuse, and how these moments can shape a person’s sense of worth and safety in relationships.
If you’ve ever questioned whether family interference crosses the line, this one will give you the clarity you need.
