8 | Wherever You Go, There You Are (The Two Kathies, part 1)

A year-long “rehab tour” provided James with something he didn’t have when he left:

An education in drugs, manipulation, and how the wrong crowd operates.

And before long, he put some of it to use.

In this episode of Tethered, James continues the story of The Two Kathies— his mother, Kathy, and the woman who became an important part of their family.

👇

By high school, James says and a group of friends had built what amounted to a teenage crime syndicate: burglaries, stolen vehicles, guns, a fence to move stolen property, and enough money to make them feel untouchable.

The Two Kathies eventually realized something had to change.

So they moved him out of San Antonio.

But there was one problem:

You can change locations without changing what’s happening inside you.

⭐️

Dallas brought a new school, a job in a rough pawn shop, different people…

…and eventually the very drug use James had been falsely labeled for years earlier.



This episode is about environment, influence, labels, and the things that slowly become “normal.”

Because when chaos is the water you’ve always lived in, sometimes you don’t recognize it as chaos at all.

And healing begins when you finally see there may be another way.
