we hear from an anonymous listener who left us a voice note with a tough question:

“I took back my cheating ex. My family still hates him. I’ve got a birthday party coming up… and I’m thinking of not inviting him. Should I?”

It’s the kind of dilemma that cuts deep—when your heart says one thing, and your family says another. We talk about love, forgiveness, family boundaries, and whether your birthday is a day for peace… or picking a side.
