Philosopher Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller about his raging father who screams over small things, gets physical at home, and stays calm in public. He questions the mother’s silence, the family’s empty savings, the caller’s habit of hiding the truth when dating, and whether cutting contact is the only way out.
