Family estrangement: The stages which lead to healing
Conflict within families can be an extremely painful part of our personal growth. It can lead to total estrangement, sometimes for life, but more often lasts for a period of time before reconciliation is considered or naturally happens.
Using my lived experience as well as knowledge from the field of mental health, I share the three primary stages I needed to go through to at last “make peace with tha family”. Making peace does not mean everything is rosy-fine, but it does mean you find peace in your heart and you can love your kin, whether in connection to them or from afar.
