Season 3, episode 7: as you wish

“If my parents’ love languages were a reaction to their upbringing, what were my parents’ parents reacting to? How were they loved in their childhoods?”

— Bethany Hawkins

Why is it that the people we love most don’t show that love in the way we need it? Love languages, family history, and why sometimes love gets lost in translation.
