Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships

by Nedra Glover Tawwab

The truth is that during your childhood, you likely weren’t allowed to be yourself, so as an adult, you’re becoming more your true self. And it’s healthy for you to figure out who you are, separate from who you were molded or told to be.

Family is not solely by blood; it’s also The people who choose you The people you feel deeply connected to The people who lovingly hold you accountable The people who offer you a sense of safety The people who consistently show up for you The people who are willing to give you what you need The people who know you well and love you greatly In adulthood, we choose our relationships. Family means connection, not just blood ties.
