It seems just about every family has them. 2 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: Some secrets are kind of small and insignificant, and some 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: are shocking and massive. But I know one thing for sure, 4 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: when they come out, and they always do, our new 5 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: knowledge has the power to change our lives. I'm Danny Shapiro, 6 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. Welcome to our 7 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: fourth season, launching October one. There are secrets we don't 8 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: know how to speak aloud. It was a really strange 9 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: way to be in the world, because not only do you 10 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: you have the sense of yourself of being different and 11 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: having a problem that you can't solve, but you also 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: have a pretty big secret. You have a an atomic 13 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: secret that you don't have a language for. You don't 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: know how to to share your what's in your heart, 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: your most fundamental truth with the people who love you. 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: Secrets we only understand in retrospect. I hadn't really felt 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: the terror of it, or the recklicness of it, or 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: the the layers of the danger of that until until 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: that moment. And it's strange to say it compelled me 20 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: to see it, or what force to sear was that 21 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: my daughter turned the same age I had bed I 22 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: so looked at her when she was set and I 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: was just like, wait, that's that's a really that's kind 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: of a crazy thing to do, to set a house 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: on fire with a kid in it, secrets whose legacy 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: we have to contend with. When my cousin plopped those 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: books on the counter, I was shocked. I was horrified. 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: I was certain I had never seen them. I couldn't 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: believe that anyone would want to bring them into a 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: house with this two year old child in it and 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: let him see them. And I didn't believe that my 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: father had written them.
