This Week's FSA Recovery Affirmation

Honoring personal boundaries in times of family crisis (including illness and death)

We’ve been having a ‘deep dive’ discussion in one of our private Ask the Community chats regarding how we respond to family members we are not in contact with when they are facing a crisis, including illness or impending death. (You can check out our group conversation here - If you’re on a browser versus the mobile app, scroll up to see the subscriber’s question).

Although it may seem highly unlikely or even unbelievable, you may have family members who rejected and discarded you or whom you ended contact with reach out and attempt to ‘guilt’ you into ‘coming to the rescue’ during a family crisis, especially if you are an ‘Empath’-type and/or were in the ‘Caretaker’ role in your family-of-origin.
