Episode notes

Christina Alvarado hasn't spoken to her mother since her wedding day and the story behind that relationship only gets stranger. On Tammy's Boy Podcast, Jon Carden sits down with Christina, owner and operator of Sunset Strip in Austin, to talk about the parents who raised her and the family chaos that followed.

Christina talks about growing up with a mother who spent decades with McDonald's Corporation, being a daddy's girl, moving around the country, her parents' separation, the wedding that became a breaking point with her mother, her father's unforgettable exit, and the bizarre way an “Aunt” eventually became family for real.
