Topic: Dealing with the Guilt of Cutting Off Abusive Family

Hi everyone! I run a mental health page and I’m currently researching for a post I want to write up on Dealing with the Guilt of Cutting Off Abusive Family.

I’m looking for people of all ages who I can interview, preferably through video call, who have been through this experience.

I would love to understand this subject better as I know this is quite common in Filipino culture, especially with the whole concept of “Utang na loob”.

Personally, I have dealt with an abusive family member and was able to cut them off while quite young, but I never really struggled with the feelings of guilt afterwards since we never had a good relationship to begin with. At most, I do know what it feels like to grieve a relationship you never had, but I would like to understand what it feels like to walk away from a parent you actually loved.

If interested, send me a message and let’s set up a call.

Thank you! 💚
