Season 1 episode 2 Prologue When Hate Hides Behind Love Are you Tim Cinderella or Tim Stepmother?
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.920
Hello there and welcome back to When Hate Hides Behind Love.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.719
Thank you for joining me for episode 2.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.879
In this episode I want to do something a little different.
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:34.399
Because sometimes the best way to understand a complicated story is to begin with a story we have known since childhood, Cinderella.
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.039
Most of us watched Cinderella as children.
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.840
Some of us watched it with our own children.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.200
And depending on your age, perhaps one day you will watch it with your grandchildren.
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.640
But today I want you to stop for a moment.
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:50.479
Forget the glass of.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.680
The stepmother took over control of Cinderella's home after her father died.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.439
Cinderella went from having a comfortable life to living in poverty and servitude.
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.120
She wore old raggedy clothes.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.359
She ate leftovers, she worked endlessly while having little to show for it.
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.519
And when Cinderella continued to dream, she refused to allow her circumstances to take away her hope.
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:43.040
She was treated as though even her dreams were something she had no right to possess.
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.680
Eventually, she was to be confined away from the world.
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:55.840
Now imagine that story without the music, without the magic, without the animated characters.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:18.960
Imagine it as a story of a real woman, a widow whose home is taken, whose independence is diminished, whose resources disappear, whose movements become restricted, whose privacy is no longer private, whose voice become whose voice people begin to question?
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.639
And whose dreams someone else's decide she should surrender?
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.199
Would we still call it normal?
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.439
Would we still call it protection?
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.680
Would we still call it concern?
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.960
Or would we recognize something much darker?
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.479
Control.
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.759
And this is where my story begins to intersect with that familiar tale.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.800
I want to ask my friends, my family, and anyone who has ever watched quietly from the sidelines.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.759
Whose team are you on?
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.599
Because sometimes silence is not neutrality.
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:10.639
Sometimes accepting money, pressure, influence, or someone else's version of events can mean becoming part of a story without realizing what role you are playing.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.319
And sometimes the person suffering is expected to simply accept her circumstances.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.000
Stop asking questions, stop dreaming and be grateful for whatever remains.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.560
But Cinderella didn't stop dreaming.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:31.919
She didn't surrender her voice, and she didn't allow her circumstances to become the definition of who she was.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.960
So as you listen to the episode, I want you to think deeply, not just about my story.
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.400
Think about the stories you have accepted without questioning.
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.319
Think about the people you have believed.
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.360
Think about the people you may have ignored.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:58.159
Think about the moments when protection becomes control, concern becomes coercion, and love becomes a weapon.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.960
Because this isn't really about Cinderella.
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.520
It's about power, it's about choices, it's about freedom.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.639
And ultimately, it's about one question.
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.120
When you see someone being pushed into a life they did not choose, whose side will you stand on?
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.079
So, my friends, are you Tim's stepmother or Tim Cinderella?
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.920
Now, episode two begins.
