We all want a loving, joyful, and connected relationship with our mother. But sometimes, no matter how much we want it, it is just not possible. After enduring years of emotional and physical abuse, Melany reached a turning point. Despite her tireless efforts to heal and start afresh with her mother, Melany came to a profound realisation that shook her to her core: each attempt to maintain her relationship with her mother was unraveling the progress she had made within herself. Every interaction left her feeling drained and disconnected from her own needs and values. Finally, Melany understood that holding onto this relationship wasn’t just challenging—it was costing her the peace, joy, and self-respect she had fought so hard to reclaim. Join us as Melany shares her journey, revealing the courage it took to prioritise her own well-being and the profound wisdom she gained along the way.
