This week, I'm sharing my three little epiphanies:

    \n
  1. \nThe show Long Bright River is a great representation of what it's like to love a family member in active addiction and the different paths we can take in a family. (More on that below)
    2. \n
  2. \nWhy I'm so tired of quotes like, \"It's your parent's first time living too.\" \n
    3. \n
  3. \nI saw this video about growing up in an \"ask family\" or a \"guess family,\" and it's fascinating. 
    4. \n


I also answer two caller questions. Caller 1 is estranged from her parents but wants to support her sister who has cancer. Caller 2 still feels really anxious around her family but wants to maintain a connection. This is a great episode about boundaries, difficult choices, and deciding if we can tolerate surface-level relationships.
