May the Bridges You Burn Light the Way

Separating yourself from abusive people, let alone family members, is not easy. Most people don’t understand what you’re going through. The dominant culture globally dictates that you must prioritize your family above else, regardless of what they may have done to you. It doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s hard to get advice that is helpful and isn’t automatically encouraging you to bend over backwards for the people who have harmed you. I hope this can be some sort of alternative, focused on you and your healing.

While I ain’t perfect and still struggle, I’m doing my best. This is for those doing their bests too.
