Loyalty to family should never come at the cost of betrayal to yourself
This hit so deep I actually had to pause and breathe. Growing up, I always thought keeping the peace meant keeping quietāespecially with family. But somewhere along the way, I started asking myself, āIf I keep protecting everyone elseās comfort, whoās protecting me?ā š„ŗ The part about emotional manipulation disguised as love? That was the wake-up call I didnāt know I needed. Jung's idea that we're living out someone elseās unlived life... whew. That line alone explains so much generational pain that never got talked about. Iām learning that walking away isnāt rebellionāitās self-respect. And setting boundaries doesnāt make me a bad daughter/sibling/person. It makes me honest. It makes me whole. If you're reading this and still tiptoeing around your truthāplease know you're not alone. Healing starts when you decide your peace matters too. šā”š
Walking away from family isnāt betrayal ā itās often the first act of true self-respect. Love without freedom isnāt love, itās emotional captivity. Too many of us confuse guilt with loyalty and call it āfamily duty.ā But how long will you keep bleeding to prove you're worthy of being loved?ā This comment will spark deep agreement ā and just as much resistance ā because it challenges one of the most sacred cultural taboos: that family is always love, no matter the cost
Beautifully articulated
Wow! I am grateful this channel was recommended. This is the most helpful video I've found for my situation. The religious guilt tripping and shame from my sibling is intense because I do not follow the script. For questioning the religion I was brought up in. For having boundaries. The whole video is a gift. Here's the part I needed to hear the most. ⤠11:02 They demand one thing. These acts may not seem cruel but slowly, they demand one thing, that you abandon yourself in order to be accepted. Here's the quiet tragedy, we often confuse acceptance with love. But love that requires self-erasure is not love, it is conditional approval wrapped in affection. The turning point comes not with rebellion, but with realization. The moment you stop asking "How can I make them accept me?" and start asking, "Why am I betraying myself to belong?" That is the moment your True Self begins to return. That is the moment your individuation begins. Thank you! 14:13 They are not always aware of what they are doing, but that does not make the wound less real. 15:16 Even if they are family, love that shames is not love. 19:13 When others make you feel guilty for your joy, for your boundaries, or your autonomy what they are really expressing is their inability to face their own emptiness. They are not asking for connection, they are begging for control, and control has no place in true love. Because love says I want to see you fly, even if it means I have to watch from afar. Love allows freedom, not captivity. It expands with your growth. It does not shrink you into a version that fits their comfort zone. Yes, choosing yourself may feel like betrayal but, in truth, it is a sacred act of awakening. Because love without freedom is not love, it is fear in disguise. To break this pattern is not to be ungrateful, it is to be awake. 20:43 You can choose differently. You can learn to sit with the discomfort of disappointing others, in order to stop disappointing yourself. 27:10 Here is your permission. To stop shrinking for the sake of peace, to stop explaining to those who never wanted to understand, to stop tolerating the behaviors that fracture your spirit and call it love. There is no virtue in enduring what harms you. There is only repetition until you choose something different. You do not need their validation to heal. You do not need their agreement to grow. The healing begins the moment you stop betraying yourself in order to belong. The transformation begins when you choose to stay loyal to your soul, even if that means disappointingn others. Thank you! This is the type of support I need.
I hope you split this video into chapters šso that I have a better overview of this video and can choose the best one for me ā¤Thank you...
I'm struggling with all of it thank you for lighting the path to myself
*This didnāt just open my eyesāit touched a wound I didnāt know I had buried. Iām not angry at them. Iām just exhausted from carrying the weight of silence. Like trying to stay afloat in water that looks calm but keeps pulling you under. This video made me realize that loyalty without boundaries isnāt loveāitās self-erasure. Maybe setting limits with family isnāt betrayalāitās finally choosing to protect the part of you they always overlooked. Have you ever felt guilty for walking away from someone who kept crossing linesājust because they share your blood?*
Reminding myself every day; I am an autonomous human being š
