1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: I think that my mom was relying very much on

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: the fact that I was a child, that I wasn't

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: going to remember much, that she could basically just shepherd

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: me or shove me in front of whomever she was

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: interacting with and say, well, that's Paul Skyhorse and that's

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: who your father is, and that I would just accept

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: it at face value. That's Brando's Skyhorse, no longer a child,

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: no longer being led into believing the stories spun by

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: his mother.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: So my memory is like, Oh, at last, here is

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: my father, here's someone I'm connected with. It was that

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: sense of relief. It was that sense of like, oh,

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: finally this question has been answered for me, when.

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: The harsh reality of it is that my search was

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: just beginning.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm Danny Shapiro and welcome to the twelfth season of

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: I can't wait to share ten powerful new episodes with you,

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: stories of tangled up identities, concealed truths, and the way

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 3: in which family secrets almost always need to be told,

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: shared held. Welcome to season twelve, which drops on Thursday

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: May twenty ninth. Here's Aaron Mcreynold's reliving the most difficult

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: of discoveries.

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 4: We go in and it's dark and it's quiet and

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 4: it's cool. We're by the ocean. Nothing unusual. The place

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: seems neat, but I'm not really looking around. I just

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 4: see that the bedroom door is closed. So one bedroom condo,

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: very small, and I go to open the door and

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: nothing is just a big rumpled bed in the middle

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 4: of the room, and so I go over to open

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: the blinds. I was like, finally I can see something,

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: and start looking around and I think maybe I'll get

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 4: a clue as to where they went. There's a defel

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: bag on the bed, and I go to move the

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: defel bag to see what's inside of it.

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: And Julie fingersh on an unwelcome sensation felt toward her daughter.

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 5: As a parent, you're allowed to feel a lot of things,

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 5: but you're definitely not allowed to feel jealous.

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: Of your own kid. This is not something we talk about.

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: We can say jokingly, I want to come back as

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 5: my kid in my next life.

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: Okay, that's one thing, but you're not really allowed.

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: To say I am jealous of my child, and that

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 5: is what I was feeling and that when I knew

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 5: something was very wrong.

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: I hope you'll join me and my extraordinary guests for
