When extended family realizes they've modeled emotional distance for their children

My siblings and I just realized our kids barely know each other even though we all live in the same city, and it's because we've spent years having polite family gatherings where nobody talks about anything real. We've accidentally taught the next generation that family relationships are supposed to be surface-level and safe.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The patterns we think are protecting family harmony can teach the next generation that love means staying on the surface.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Unintended legacy — what we leave without meaning to?”
