Understanding Family Stories and Humanizing Relationships

Reflecting on our family's stories through interviewing our parents and grandparents can help us understand their experiences and humanize them, shifting our perspective from viewing them as perpetrators to recognizing them as individuals with their own deep stories. By understanding the reasons behind their actions, we can connect with them on a human level and move past feelings of mistreatment or neglect. This process can lead to greater stability in romantic relationships by challenging unrealistic narratives about fairy tale romance.
