Episode Synopsis

Monica Hinderer joins Doug to help parents respond to the Minnesota mass shooting while also facing tough family struggles, including children wrestling with gender identity, strained relationships, and fear after violence. Listener questions and comments: Priya – I fear families may leave this parish after the shooting, and that the priest could lose parishioners. (08:55) David – My autistic son wants to become female, and it has been deeply traumatic for my wife and me. (20:50) Mary – My daughter identifies as they/them, eloped, and is now planning a ceremony. Should I go, even though I regret saying yes? (36:09) Amelia – Why do we have to tiptoe around calling the shooter what he is instead of making excuses for him?
