  1. 13 I Don’t Tell Mom: Grieving the “living death” of family estrangement Feelings & Co 1:01:18

When Emily was a child, a family member abused her and told her to keep it a secret. She kept that secret until she was 34, but her family didn’t react well once she told the truth. Eventually Emily chose to stop talking to them, and in this episode she explains her choice to be estranged from her family and why estrangement has been important for her healing.
