NikkiM2BR :

Thanksgiving was hard. Thank you. I needed this.

Amanda J :

“You’ve changed.” Yeah, that’s the point.

bellaaboo :

I’ve been out of the house for 5/6 years and going back I feel like an outsider

potentillaclub :

The saddest part is accepting that they will never know how to love me

VíctorNúñez :

I can’t even explain it, book called Money Beyond Silent Walls by Damian Rothwell is different. You NEED this book. It changed my life.

_hunnnaaa :

Unfortunately I fall back into the angry teenager who is hated by all parties

suz ッ :

As the black sheep of the family, thank you

Mpho :

holidays are so so difficult when you are the black sheep of the family. extremely difficult.

PODCASTHIGHLIGHTS :

Growing and changing from who your family knows feeellss sooo scary

tiana a. :

Headed home for Christmas and I have soooo much anxiety! 🥺 I needed to hear this 💖

sky🪽 :

Thank you for this because as the only distant family member in my entire family, I’m so exhausted trying to explain why I’m distant and why I don’t care to visit. Everyone feels like strangers because they’re still them, yet I’m no longer the version of me that they knew before I left.

meilahmarie :

girl I literally JUST got home from my family thanksgiving - I spent the whole ride home sad about this exact subject. Thanks for putting my feelings into words in a way I couldn’t.

SimplyAng :

Playing a role to accommodate their needs. It’s pretending and not fair to us to not be able to be who we are to make them feel comfortable. I 💯 agree.

My Dog’s Coach :

They never let go of the old me.

Messy Big Sis :

I don’t remember the last time my family felt like home.

Nicole :

Holidays are so hard. Thank you for sharing this

Taylor Yerks :

I chose to not go to that family gathering and not subject my husband (who they don’t like but in all honesty he pushes me to be a kinder person) to their behavior. I also think that if one family event requires multiple emergency therapy sessions then it’s not worth the stress to begin with.
