For the Latchkey Kids Who Grew Up and Still Can't Ask for Help

Growing up latchkey gave me a kind of fierce independence I still carry today. But it also left gaps that took me years to even name. This video is my honest look at what that experience built in me and what it quietly cost. You'll hear about Mr. Turner, the neighbor I was terrified of who ended up being one of the kindest people in my childhood. And we'll get into the real weight of being the kid who handled everything, what it does to you, and how it shows up in your adult life. If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear your story in the comments. Tell me what you loved about growing up latchkey, what you hated, and how it shaped you. Let's talk about it.
