Should I Cut Ties With My Sister After Her Cruel Remarks, Even If It Means Losing My Niece?

Listen to this episode from Clementine Ford's Big Sister Hotline on Spotify. This week on the Big Sister Hotline, Clem is delving into the raw terrain of family conflict; when the people we’re told to love unconditionally become the ones who wound us most deeply. Our listener writes of a painful rift with her sister, fractured by a series of cruel remarks, and the ache of missing the niece caught in the crossfire. Clem reflects on the grief of sibling estrangement, the shadow work that cruelty often conceals, and the ways projection can mask unspoken unhappiness. Family bonds can tether us in complex, sometimes suffocating ways - but true healing lies in honouring love, boundaries, and self-respect in equal measure.If you would like to submit a question for a future episode, please email [email protected] Clem on Instagram & FacebookSubscribe to her Dear Clementine SubstackJoin her PatreonThis podcast is part of the Kind Regards Network.
