Caught in The Crossfire Part 2 is a compelling story of my Son Tysons viewpoint of how addiction and alcoholism split our thriving family apart. Tyson discusses how watching me fall apart led him to not wanting to be at home any way he could and how it actually allowed him to get away with things due to my forgetfulness and uncaring of what was happening in his life. I share with Tyson the horror of behind the scenes as my addiction turned into a nightmare I could not get out of. Although Tyson wasn't around to see some of the events his brothers did he recalls several stories of what he witnessed and how it affected him. Tyson lets down his otherwise high guard and shares how he felt responsible for what his brothers had to go through because he didn't want anything to do with it once he left the house and got married. He describes how on many occasions his brothers would call him for help with me as he shrugged it off and let them deal with the situation on their own. JT takes Tyson through a decade timeline and asks the hard questions that are heartbreaking to hear but healing as well. There is too much context in this episode to describe, its powerful and offers hope to those that are struggling with an addict or alcoholic as well as those caught in the grips. This is a conclusion to two of the hardest interviews I have ever had to get through. My Sons and I were willing to talk through the pain of the past in hopes that we could help at least one person in need.
