When families overcorrect after a member comes out

Our family hasn't been the same since my sister came out two years ago — not because anyone rejected her, but because we're all walking on eggshells trying so hard to be supportive that we've lost our natural rhythm with each other, and I think she feels it too.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The fear of causing harm through inadequate support has replaced authentic connection with performative care.
