<p>Nate's parents loved him. They weren't abusive. Nobody was drinking. Nobody was yelling. From the outside — and often from the inside — it looked like a good home. But IBLP had quietly shaped everything about it: what they studied, how they spoke, how morality was defined, and who held authority over whom. As the oldest child, Nate learned from an early age to keep the peace, perform goodness, and make sure everyone was happy. If something went wrong, it was probably his fault. If something felt wrong, it was probably a spiritual attack.</p><p>Nate didn't know how much that mindset had cost him until decades later, when Shiny Happy People — the documentary about the Duggar family — cracked something open that he didn't even know was there. This episode is about what was buried, how it got there, and what it has taken — slowly, imperfectly — to dig it back out. And what he would say now to that little boy who spent his whole childhood performing goodness for a watching world — if only that boy could hear him.</p><ul><li><a href="https://adultchildren.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ACA Website</a></li></ul><ul><li>The How We Escaped Podcast Website: <a href="HowWeEscaped.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HowWeEscaped.com</a></li></ul><ul><li><strong>Music Credits: </strong>Please <a href="https://howweescaped.com/music-credits-how-we-escaped-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">click here </a>with a special thanks to Kevin Mcleod</li></ul><p><strong>It Will Be Worth It All</strong><strong> Clip - </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V6Ma3vk71Q&list=RD2V6Ma3vk71Q&start_radio=1&pp=ygUcaXQgd2lsbCBiZSB3b3J0aCBpdCBhbGwgaWJscKAHAQ%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Click Here</a></p><p><strong>Church Bells at Blauvac, France by iainmccurdy -- </strong>https://freesound.org/s/768840/ -- License: Attribution 4.0</p><p><strong>Approx 5000-Crowd Noise.wav by lonemonk -- </strong>https://freesound.org/s/100840/ -- License: Attribution 4.0</p>

<p>Kathleen Marden joins me for this mini episode to discuss how UFO research has evolved since the landmark Betty and Barney Hill abduction case of 1961. She shares what it takes to become a UFO investigator and we explore whether we're getting closer to uncovering the truth about extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena — especially in light of President Trump's executive order to declassify top secret UFO files.</p><p>If you haven't heard our episode on the Betty and Barney Hill UFO Abduction, please <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Xu7epzDFOQtjHjAeKoVbP?go=1&sp_cid=29ad234b7003c9a820a15b969492d6cf&utm_source=embed_player_p&utm_medium=desktop" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">click here</a> to listen to it now. </p><p><a href="https://www.kathleen-marden.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to visit Kathleen Marden's website.</p><p><a href="https://HowWeEscaped.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to visit the How We Escaped Website. </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/howweescaped/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/How-We-Escaped/61585365360561/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqcsYitrOCmL4pRq6WjMHcA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Youtube</a></p><p>Music credits and licenses are <a href="https://howweescaped.com/music-credits-how-we-escaped-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here.</a> A special thanks to Kevin Mcleod for his awesome collection of music which you can see at http://incompetech.com./</p>
