Attempting to reconcile with someone who is completely unaware of how they've wounded you is incredibly challenging. How do you offer forgiveness to someone who doesn't ask for it - or worse, continues to hurt you even after you forgive them? And what do you do when you still ache to be in relationship, even when it's unhealthy? It's not uncommon to wrestle with questions like these, especially in the context of your family of origin.

In this episode, my friend Kiera joins me to share how she struggled to feel valuable and loved by her mom as she grew up. She unpacks how confusing it was for the same person to cause so much hurt and yet love her so well at the same time. Join us next week as Kiera shares how God led the path to a restored relationship against all odds.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How her mom's focus on relationships with men meant Kiera's needs often came last
• Examples of how a lack of parental protection for Kiera allowed her to believe she was not wanted
• About the areas of life where Kiera's mom showed up really well for her daughter
• Why we sometimes have to grieve and release relationships we never got to have
• The realization that empowered Kiera to exercise boundaries for the first time with her mom
