"Family is everything." No-healing is. Because sometimes, the very people who were supposed to protect you are the ones who hurt you the most. And no matter how much love or history there is, you can't heal in the same environment that broke you. Healing means setting boundaries. It means choosing peace over pressure, and self-respect over guilt. It means understanding that forgiveness doesn't always require reconnection. If family is what caused the trauma, they don't always get to be part of the healing. Sometimes healing means loving them from afar-and loving yourself enough to walk away.
