This is a short interview excerpt from the YouTube video "Where Leaders Fail Most" (Mick Hunt). In this segment a guest (Speaker B) describes a toxic upbringing with an alcoholic father, reframes that father's behavior as stemming from his own childhood hurt, and emphasizes agency: they are not defined by those circumstances and can change the trajectory of their life.

Chapters

So when you talk about the adversity that you had growing up, let's define that a little bit.
So I grew up in a really toxic upbringing. My father is an alcoholic. He's hurting so much inside and hurt people. Hurt people. And so I looked at it from a different lens, and I looked at him as a little boy being hurt by his parents and being abused. Your father supposed to be the one person that shows up for you, that loves you. And I didn't have that. So I grew up putting a lot of guards in front of me. But know that I don't have to live that way. I don't have to be defined by my circumstances and what I went through. And I can completely change the trajectory of my life.
