Q&A: I'm Estranged From My Parents and My Sister Has Cancer
This week, I'm sharing my three little epiphanies:
The show Long Bright River is a great representation of what it's like to love a family member in active addiction and the different paths we can take in a family. (More on that below)
Why I'm so tired of quotes like, "It's your parent's first time living too."
I saw this video about growing up in an "ask family" or a "guess family," and it's fascinating.
I also answer two caller questions. Caller 1 is estranged from her parents but wants to support her sister who has cancer. Caller 2 still feels really anxious around her family but wants to maintain a connection. This is a great episode about boundaries, difficult choices, and deciding if we can tolerate surface-level relationships.
