Family Estrangement: Family estrangement occurs when at least one family member intentionally distances themselves from at least one other family member because of a negative relationship. Listen in as Victoria chats with Violetta (@latinx_estrangement) all about what it is to make the difficult decision to distance oneself from family, how to nurture yourself after that decision, and how to support someone who has had to make that decision.

Violetta's work involves providing safe spaces for estranged BIPOC/Queer adult children and siblings experiencing family estrangement.
