Exactly what I needed to hear.

This episode really helped me with the grief I’ve been grappling with over being no contact with my parents. I’ve felt conflicted by my own guilt around my (very necessary) boundaries too. But also the grief around not having this “Christmas Ad” family experience, and the sadness of being unlovable to them.
Listening to this episode has really helped validate all of these feelings, but also helped me to stay steadfast in with my boundaries.
It’s also answered lingering questions and doubts I’ve had for a while.
So I’m so grateful to this podcast and this episode right now.
