11. Mom, Are You There? And Other Questions By Abandoned Children
39:09||Season 3, Ep. 11Comedian and writer, Mary Basmadjian, talks about the day her mother blocked her number and never looked back. We dive into child abandonment and how Mary became the ultimate care giver for her grandparents until they both passed. This trauma lead to shame, grief and an eating disorder. But it also lead to a one woman show called "Mom, Are You There? Becoming The Mother That I Always Deserved" which served as both entertainment and therapy. The story is gut wrenching, but as always, guests bring the light side and humor to even the darkest situations. #childabandonment #maternalabandonment #comedian #eatingdisorder #shame #storyteller #therapy #inspiration #podcast #thefunnythingis

Every Other Weekend
48:13||Season 3, Ep. 9Author Anthony Mohr discusses his book "Every Other Weekend" about growing up in a post World War II era with divorced parents and eventually a new step father. In a time when growing up in a non-nuclear family wasn't common, Anthony shares his struggles and triumphs on being raised by two seemingly polar opposite male role models and the impact it had on his life. I recommend this read for anyone who is a child of divorce and more importantly for anyone who is co-parenting children with shared custody. #anthonymohr #everyotherweekend #custody #stepfather #geraldmohr #stanleydashew #childofdivorce #splitcustody #podcast #thefunnythingis8.
