Today, the Taylors are sitting down for an exclusive episode with Angel Carter Conrad as she bravely opens up about the tragic passing of her twin brother, Aaron Carter, and other details surrounding the Carter family. To begin, Angel talks about what life was like for her and her siblings growing up while their parents struggled with addiction. She explains when she and her siblings began battling addiction themselves, then shares about her relationships with her family and explains the real reason why she filed a restraining order against Aaron. Angel gives valuable insight into why it is so important for children to have a stable environment to grow up in and talks about the genetic component of mental health and how it can often run in the family. Finally, she offers advice for talking to young kids about mental health, highlights some signs that show a child may be struggling, and gives tips for someone who sees themselves stuck in a generational cycle but feels discouraged that they aren't strong enough to break it. We want to give a huge thank you to Angel for her vulnerability and strength in sharing her unimaginable story.
