Before the Q&A, Whitney opens with an unscripted reflection on taking a break from Instagram. She then moves into two listener questions from people who have stopped waiting for an apology and are asking what comes after you finally see your family clearly. In this episode, you'll learn: - How to handle being the only person in your family willing to talk about the past - What to do when you've accepted a parent won't change but they still expect the same closeness and access - How to think about titrating contact - Why the fantasy that a parent will soften at your lowest moment is so common Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.
