I even tried family therapy with my parents, which lasted three sessions before we went back to no contact. With my partner, my ally in life, I felt safe to renegotiate my relationship with my parents. Reestablishing contact didn’t start with a huge aha moment or tearful reconciliation, because I know that this isn’t possible for us. So no, Mel Robbins, I don’t think life is too short to fight with your family. If anything, life is too short not to fight for what you need.
