No one wants to separate from or abandon their family or roots.

Having to separate from your family is certainly separating from your "roots."
And for some people, they may carry guilt believing they have abandoned their family.

But what do you do when the very people you trust are the same people who demean, condescend, and traumatize you?

And what do you do when psychotherapy doesn't seem to be the right answer?

Some people walk away forever.

Others seek to learn about the unhealthy family dynamic (i.e., drama) and unresolved trauma (i.e., intergenerational trauma) that has caused everyone harm in the family.

Still other people may decide to walk away from years of trauma and drama knowing the family has little to no chance of being saved.

In this video, I discuss some concepts you may benefit from considering.
