Sending love to anyone who’s had to step away from family in order to protect their peace. It takes real strength to choose healing when the people who raised you, or the ones you trusted most, are also the ones who caused the deepest pain. That kind of hurt stays with you, and walking away is never easy. But sometimes creating distance is the only way to feel safe, steady, and whole again.

My favourite therapist helped me look at family differently, and he helped me question duty and obligation. He gave me permission to step away when I needed to, and to be present when I felt I could handle the confusion and disappointment of my family scenario. My biggest take away is that sharing the same blood, does not guarantee compatibility. My mother and brother were simpatico, two peas in a pod. My sister and I never seemed to bond properly with our mother. It’s sad, but I understand this is quite common. Just sayin’ : ) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
