The Witch's Daughter - W/ Orenda Fink (Podcast Version)

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

"When you have a parent like we do, you kind of have only two options; you either stay in it forever, or you totally deconstruct yourself to individuate. And those aren't great options." 100%!!! Thank you for another great episode.

Why “those aren’t great options “? The second one is pretty great!

[@ericacouture4138]

​@alimay967 It's not a great option for some of us. I'd give anything to have a healthy and loving family! You feel as though you're forced to choose between an unhealthy family that doesn't really love you anyway... or completely separate from them( in every sense of the word), and have no family at all! That is a choice that nobody should be faced with!

@@alimay967but also agreed lol😂I think this is the coolest thing about us

[@mandyr5896]

"I'd known for a long time that i wasn't wrong, and i was still apologizing to let myself in the family.". Oof. I felt that. It feels like apologizing to the difficult parent just so you didn't lose contact with the safer parent. It's never ending if you aren't able to end that cycle

My wife and I both read the book and loved it. It really brought a lot of perspective to my own upbringing…the book has many instances where you see the poor decisions of your parents, and yourself, effecting you in the future. A lot of accountability and vulnerability.

I greatly appreciated listening to your exchange. It felt like sitting in a room with two people who have made the same kind of experiences and therefore very connecting. Thank you for helping the community to stay connected with our experiences, how hard those were and with the acceptance that it is ok that some of that will always remain hard.

Loving listening to the podcast too! Your content is so down to earth and not hyped up like so many online therapists, a lot of it has been so helpful for me too so thank you

[@NinaPerea]

I listened to your book on my many long drives. I circled around blocks to finish chapters. Locked myself in the bathroom to finish some. Had to pull over to get thru the part where your sister finally leaves.

[@PrincessMeowicham]

Listening to the audiobook, Orenda is amazing ❤ thank you both 😊

[@artandculture5262]

Didn’t want to be abusive to others, didn’t want to be like her. No desire to be abusive, but it screwed up perceiving others. Yes.

[@leonardascorpius5304]

Brilliant discussion!! Thank you so much!! ❤ I've been through similar upbringing as you two, and at 58, I'm still working on having a good/neutral relationship with my mother who's 91.

Loved the book! Triggering but validating

[@HoomanthingMeetDog]

I have yet to meet a situation like mine

[@lyndadoerner5341]

I wrote a comment about the reality of Withcraft, the solution in Yeshua Hamasciach and repentance, and the comment “disappears “, 👀Too close to the Truth? If anyone would like confirmation of the reality of withcraft, please see Russ Dizdar’s work on “The Black Awakening”, for a start.

Yurt hub heavily sense soars that kind of jive. I have watched 90 percent of what I say drift off.

[@jamieellohengee2667]

I don't normally engage with this kind of comment, but maybe I can help you understand. This is a place of acceptance and healing. I don't think anyone here needs to be criticized or feel attacked any more than they already have been. I know that you're trying to help, but it's not the right time or place. There's so much more to take away from this podcast, and it derails the conversation to start talking about religion. It's more appropriate for a private message.

[@lyndadoerner5341]

@ Sorry, witchcraft is a religion, not a philosophy. Furthermore, they were removing my comments. I will not be silenced. Have a great day.

[@boxelder9167]

@@lyndadoerner5341 - You are exactly right. And the most loving thing you can do for someone is to speak truthfully to them. Until they block what they don’t want to hear and when they finally learn the truth they will be mad because nobody told them. They probably tried to but someone disappeared it.
