## Resource

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — Wade Griffin walked into a bank with an eight-million-dollar check from a woman who worked part-time at a staffing agency. He didn't question it. He'd already bought a ninety-two-thousand-dollar truck, an ATV, and a car for his mother — all on the assumption that Taylor's inheritance money would arrive any day. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the Wade Griffin question head-on in this conversation: victim or enabler? The answer isn't as simple as either side wants it to be. Wade was warned repeatedly — by Taylor's ex-husband, his own mother, his friend Stephanie, Taylor's aunt — and every time, he chose to believe the woman sleeping next to him instead. The documentary shows a man grappling with guilt. But it also shows a man who testified "this is all happening way too fast" — meaning he felt the red flags, acknowledged them, and kept moving forward anyway. His community made their verdict without a courtroom. People walk the other way when they see him. He lost his livelihood. Reagan Hancock's family named him in a wrongful death suit. This interview explores what makes someone override their own instincts when the lie is offering them exactly what they want. Wade dreamed of owning a ranch. Taylor promised him one. The question Shavaun puts on the table — whether Wade's willingness to believe was trust or something closer to choice — doesn't have a comfortable answer.
