## Resource

Em was very close to their grandparents growing up. But as an adult and a queer person, it has become clear that their views are not validating and supportive of who Em is. Em hasn't formally come out to them, but has received mixed feedback from other family members and has been dreading spending time with the family overall. What do they owe these people, who were once a very big and important part of their life? This week on the show Mauricio and our guest explore family patterns, obligation, and closure. -- This show is completely funded by Patreon, and we are so grateful to our supporters who make it possible.
