About this listen
In this episode, I share my lived experience of growing up in a control-based family system, migrating abroad, navigating emotional and financial pressure, and ultimately choosing no-contact as an act of survival.
This is not a story about blaming parents or seeking sympathy.
It’s about understanding coercive control, parentification, cultural expectations, and what happens when independence threatens systems built on obedience.
I talk about:
Growing up without emotional safety
Being treated as “the strong one” from a young age
The difference between support and control
Migration, job struggle, and pressure tied to dependence
Why walking away was not cruelty, but self-preservation
What it really means to break a generational pattern
This episode is for anyone who has had to choose themselves without being understood, and for those learning to trust their own clarity after years of self-doubt.
Content note: discussions of emotional abuse, family estrangement, and mental health.
This is my truth.
This is my voice.
This is Stella’s lived experience.
