Ever feel trapped in a toxic cycle with a parent where you lose yourself completely? After years of arguments and emotional exhaustion, I made the hardest decision of my life—going no contact with my dad. This isn’t about not loving them or refusing to forgive.

If you’re considering family estrangement or struggling with toxic family dynamics, this is for you. What you’ll discover: - Why guilt is actually a protective function - How to handle family reactions while maintaining boundaries (including what we can say) - The relationship metaphor that changed everything - Signs you’ve lost yourself in a toxic family dynamic Your mental health matters.
