Episode Synopsis

“To be a father was my way of breaking a cycle and starting over.” In this one sentence, today’s guest, Peter Gronvall, insightfully reflects on his journey to fatherhood after growing up in a cult.- During his conversation with host Jamie Truman, Peter discusses his experience living in two distinct worlds: One world where he and his eight siblings were subjected to severe emotional and physical abuse, and another where he was a dedicated student and spent time with friends. He shares how he and his siblings persevered through these painful years, and the impact on his relationship with his parents.-Remarkably, Peter didn’t let his experience derail his aspirations. He earned a full scholarship to college and then got accepted into Yale Law School, all the while being a source of support to his siblings. Most importantly, he became the type of father he always wanted: nurturing, empathetic, and protective.-Tune in to learn more about Peter Gronvall and how he survived growing up in a cult.-Purchase Vanishing Fathers 100% of the proceeds go to charity that help at-risk youthsConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: [email protected] episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
