Ever found yourself wrestling with complicated family relationships, manipulation, and misunderstandings? Well, you're not alone. I've faced similar struggles and it's high time we as a society openly discuss these often-ignored issues. I share personal stories of strained family relationships and manipulation, my experiences of being asked for help by family members who've wronged me, and how money and government benefits often play a tricky role in these situations. 

If you've ever felt belittled, manipulated, or simply disrespected by a family member, you're in good company. I wouldn't wish these feelings on anyone, but they're a harsh reality for many of us. I open up about my personal frustrations, disappointments, and conflicts with a family member who seems determined to disrespect me and shows little interest in my daughter's life. Amidst all these, I also share my experiences with criminal activity within the family, painting a realistic picture of my struggle to keep the peace while working for the police.

Joining me in this conversation is a special guest who shares their experiences on this delicate subject. We tackle difficult topics such as the acceptance of disrespect in family relationships, especially prevalent in Western culture. We discuss personal battles with family members who seem indifferent, the importance of establishing boundaries, and prioritizing personal well-being. This conversation reminds us all that not every family relationship is healthy, and it's perfectly fine to distance oneself from toxic family members. So, hang tight and let’s navigate these tricky waters together.
