Surviving war and addiction, PTSD, and finding healing with Carlos Rodriguez

[@davidheaton9921]

Came here from tiktok. Wonderful interviews. Had Carlos had the chance to tell his parents how he feels as adult about his childhood. I know it was a hard story to tell. Much love Carlos

I didnt want this interview to end. This man is a legend and the interviewer had top notch questions. Thank you Carlos I haven't cried in a while but this really got to me.

These interviews need to get bigger. I love hearing first-hand stories of struggle and success.

Great story Carlos💪🏻👏🏼👏🏼 stay up bro

[@reflectionredirection6824]

Wow this was beautiful ♥️ Thank you 🙏🏽 This gave me the strength I needed tonight, it gave me so much clarity. I appreciate you Carlos for sharing your story. I felt you so much when you said “having too much pride.” Yo me all day. It’s a daily struggle. Ego is a gift & a curse. It keeps you a float when no one else is there but it can also do a lot of damage if you don’t keep yourself grounded. Thank you Frank for introducing me to this channel & conducting these interviews. Beautiful ones. I appreciate all of you. ♥️

Great interview definitely should be proud of himself for getting sober and better and he should keep his head up his daughter will come around eventually and stop resenting him for the mistakes he did as a father

Do you travel for these interviews? He mentioned 16th street mall, which makes me think this is in Colorado

[@eddiepacheco212]

You should add what city these are recorded in to the description :)

[@weareallonestory]

This one’s in Denver, Co.

[@lenizcastaneda7099]

Why does it feel like you forgive mom for her alcoholism but are very resentful towards you’re dad when both of their actions clearly affected you? It’s that fair to say?

[@weareallonestory]

It’s fair to ask questions 🙏🏽

[@Clappersonly69]

His dad physically abused him… directly. His mom drank to much, which she did indirectly. she was only trying to cope.

[@reflectionredirection6824]

@Lenizcastaneda Tbh I think because his mom was dealing with alcoholism but very supportive emotionally, physically, financially & otherwise. There were a lot of fond memories with her & beautiful lessons. His dad was dealing with things as well but he projected them differently. The lessons were more difficult ones. The love his father showed was tough love. The only way he knew how. So the psyche with both parents is definitely processed differently because of the way they chose to deal with their addictions & their children.

Wait a minute? There ain’t no mf gangs in Alaska at all. Specially during his years of youth. I’ve worked in Alaska and visited places up there and never seen solid gangs. Only a few young wana be kiddos going around causing trouble. But they don’t carry a heavy gang affiliated lifestyle.

[@eZaFJDUBB]

He said he wanted to be in one not was in one
