Why do we keep trying with people who refuse to meet us halfway? In this episode of Soph, Say It With Your Chest, I dive into the emotional tug-of-war of holding on to a parent who constantly leaves me feeling unseen and unheard.

I unpack the guilt, the hope, the repeated disappointments, and the hard truth that love without accountability isn’t really love at all. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop forcing peace where there’s only chaos.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “why do I keep trying with them?” — this episode is for you.
