#34 "Blood is Thicker than Water" - Family Dynamics and Choosing Yourself The 6th Line
-
- Cultura e società
This episode is a reading of my latest SubStack article called "Blood is thicker than water but it can also leave unwanted stains and sticks like shit." You can read that HERE and join my community over there for long form writing and my weekly 'Make Life Wonder-Filled" wrap ups as I notice the good, the wonderful and the amazing in the world.
Deciding to cut off a family member is not an easy decision and I wish more people would give grace and compassion to those who do. It's a layered and deep topic and such an individual journey.
I share in this episode some of my learnings after deciding to put myself before some family relationships, taking the space and quiet I needed to heal and decide who I was and how you can get to a place where you grieve for what you do not have with your family and also accept it for what it is.
If you are struggling with your family of origin and know it's time to set some boundaries or take some space I hope this episode gives you some insights and a reality check of what it's going to be like. I recommend seeking out support from a therapist or trained professional.
If this brings up anything that you feel you need support with please call any of the mental health support lines in your area. Here in Australia that would be Beyond Blue 1300 224 636 or LifeLine 13 11 14
I would love to hear how this episode lands for you.
