In this heartfelt conversation with Ian Fee, we talk honestly about what it means to rebuild trust after years of chaos, regret and emotional distance.  Ian shares the turning point that shifted his recovery from trying to fix everything for everyone else to finally choosing himself, and how that decision reshaped his relationships, especially with his children.  His story is full of warmth, humour and grounded wisdom, offering reassurance that steady actions, open communication and genuine presence can rewrite even the most painful family patterns.
