As an adult, my family dynamic escalated—especially when I set boundaries to protect my son, my partner, and myself. I was accused of things that weren’t true, publicly shamed, and targeted as the problem whenever I didn’t fall in line. Even after I stepped back, my family continued using guilt, rewriting history, and turning others against me. They cut down so I cut them out. Walking away was painful, but it also became the start of healing. I learned how to break free from the scapegoat role, how to regulate my nervous system, and how to create a stable, loving environment for my own family. Now I help others who feel stuck in cycles of family chaos, manipulation, or emotional abuse reclaim their identity, confidence, and peace.
