In this part two episode, I'm sharing an honest update on the ongoing conflict with my daughter-in-law — and how, unfortunately, it's gotten worse. I've received mean, nasty messages that she says are "defending herself," and I'm not going to pretend it doesn't sting.
This podcast is my live journal. I'm not here to be perfect, and I'm not here to perform. I'm here to process. I'm here to tell the truth about what it feels like when family relationships get tense, boundaries get tested, and emotions run hot.
More than anything, I'm choosing to put this conflict in God's hands. I can't control what other people say, what they assume, or how they respond — but I can control what I do next. I talk through what I'm learning about restraint, self-respect, and letting God handle what I can't fix in my own strength.
If you've ever been caught in family drama that makes you feel misunderstood, anxious, or just worn down… you're not alone.
In this episode, I talk about:
-
What's escalated since part one and why it's weighing on me
-
The impact of receiving hurtful messages (and how it messes with your head)
-
The difference between "defending yourself" and being disrespectful
-
Boundaries: what I'm considering, what I'm struggling with, and what I won't tolerate
-
Letting go of the need to prove your side to people committed to misunderstanding you
-
Choosing peace and putting the outcome in God's hands
Gentle reminder (for anyone listening):
This is not me trying to "win" or drag anyone. This is me working through real life in real time — and choosing to trust God with what I can't control.
