Description

This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re talking about family conflict: what happens when the people we’re meant to love unconditionally wound us the most. Our listener has had a painful falling out with her sister after a string of cruel remarks, leaving her torn between setting boundaries and missing the niece she adores. Clem explores the grief of sibling estrangement, the shadow work buried inside cruelty, and why projection often hides unspoken unhappiness. Family ties can bind us in complicated ways; but love, boundaries, and self-respect must coexist if we’re to truly heal.
