Can estrangement be an act of self-care and courage?

In my experience it was a very an extremely challenging, and necessary process. In today's episode I talk about estrangement as an act of courage and share my thoughts on the impact the decision has on:

• relationships with other friends and other family members
• participation in cultural and family rituals

• relationship with your self
• grieving for the relationship you couldn't have

The organisations I reference are: www.standalone.org.uk and EaCES @eaces on Instagram.
