Relationships With Parents of Origin
This week, we hear from people who have a strained relationship with their families of origin. One person says her parents are devout evangelical christians and she's an atheist. If you need to set a boundary, do it. Just say you won't listen to hurtful comments about your weight or your politics. Lead with the things you like about the relationship and how you'd like to see it improve. Expect defensiveness, but also be open to the possibility of empathy.
