Her Kids Thought She Was A Monster. And So Did She — Until She Found Out What Made Her That Way.

Imagine your aunt, the same aunt who makes you food, has felt sad and angry all her life. Now imagine if you found out she felt that way because she was sick — but not just any kind of sick.

That's what happened to Blas Diaz. He could barely believe when he found out that his aunt had suffered all those years. So he interviewed her.

For those of you who might be triggered by the topic of suicide, heads up from 4:30 to 5:19.

Podcast by Latino USA, with the original audio on Vocalo Storytellers Workshop. A million thanks to Blas Diaz and his tia for sharing her story.
