Summary
It's episode # 7 of Recovering from Reality and I'm sitting down with my wonderful, hilarious sister Gabby! We talk about everything from our upcoming Vegas trip to the different perceptions we each held of our childhood. Gabby and I spent quite a few years working through our own sh*t before we could get close to one another and have a real sister relationship. Sisters have such complex, chaotic, and sometimes telepathic bond. Throw in traumatic upbringing into the mix things are bound to be a little messy. We examine the different dynamics and roles we each played within the structure of our family unit and talk about how we don't want to extend those roles into our own families. This episode covers themes of forgiveness, resentment, and emotional oppression. We also play a pretty hilarious inappropriate game of 'would you rather' which gives y'all a shining example of the women we've become today. #goals #mauture #andsoitis

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Alexis Haynes and this is my podcast recovering from reality. |
| 0:27.5 | My sister Gabby is here with us today and I'm so excited to sit down and talk with her because I get so many questions of like, |
| 0:38.5 | how is your and Gabby's relationship today? |
| 0:42.5 | And so I think that I just want to talk about that because our relationship is something that is very important to me, but that's often neglected. |
| 0:55.5 | And I think that there's been a number of things that have transpired over the years that have led to that on both of our parts. |
| 1:02.5 | I mean, if I was to try to go back in time and figure out like the beginning of Gabby and my trauma, like I couldn't really. |
| 1:11.5 | I mean, I'd like to thank maybe, well, no, it was before that. |
| 1:16.5 | So I can think of one huge incident that Gabby's brought up to me a couple of times and it was when I was a shitty 13 year old like we all are. |
| 1:26.5 | And I was really, really mad at her and I didn't, I like lost control a little bit. |
| 1:32.5 | And you choked me? |
| 1:33.5 | No, I don't remember choking you. |
| 1:36.5 | Do you remember that? |
| 1:37.5 | No, I don't remember that. |
| 1:38.5 | But I was, see, in another episode I talked about how I never let myself get angry. |
| 1:44.5 | I should have prefaced that by saying I never let myself get angry unless I was on drugs. |
| 1:48.5 | But if I was on drugs, then like all emotions were present. |
| 1:53.5 | But no, when I threw a water bottle at your head. |
| 1:55.5 | Oh my god. |
| 1:56.5 | And I feel really, really bad about that today. |
| 2:03.5 | I forgot about that. |
| 2:04.5 | Yeah, I mean, I love to talk about family roles, right? |
