Скачать или смотреть Self-defense is a crime | LaResse Harvey & Pastor Tamara Gordon | Season 2 | Episode 4 | Part 1

What happens when the people who are supposed to love you the most use your past mistakes as a leash to control your present?
In Part 1 of this intense conversation, our guest LaResse opens up about the "silent prison" of life after incarceration. Despite maintaining a clean record and sacrificing her own stability to keep family members housed, she reveals the heartbreaking reality of being "weaponized" by her own skin.
From battling chronic homelessness and PTSD-induced seizures to moving across state lines for a "fresh start" with siblings, she shares the moment the support turned into scheming. Imagine not being allowed to show basic human frustration—even something as simple as someone eating your food—because any spark of emotion is labeled as "aggression" due to a past charge.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Burden of the "Charge": Living under the constant threat of being mislabeled as "angry" or "aggressive."
Sacrifice vs. Sabotage: Giving up your own livelihood to help your family, only to be kicked out once they start getting better.
The Reality of Reentry: The hidden struggles of homelessness and health issues following a 1999 release.
Family Dynamics: How biological bonds can sometimes be the most difficult hurdles to healing.
This is a story about the fight for a voice, the struggle for respect, and the long road to true independence.
