When Family Words Hurt: Coping With Unsettling Comments From Loved Ones

Sometimes, the people we trust most can say things that shake us to the core. Recently, my uncle made a comment that was so unsettling, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It’s like his words echo in my mind, making me question my sense of safety and comfort around family. I never expected something like this from someone so close, and it’s been tough to process.
