I chose to talk to my grandma

[Water-Lily]

After an emotionally charged conversation over the phone, I chose to speak to my grandmother in person

in the past, I'd do my part to ignore her out of anger. Maybe even block her. And though my feelings are valid, a part of me know staying in the rabbit hole of hatred and shame would make things worse

The conversation was ok. I still plan to go no contact with my family when able but I think I handled the situation with grace

Seems like you have a lot of self awareness. I agree it seems like you handled it gracefully. Hope you're able to go NC soon, if not I hope you're able to keep it up!
