The One Where Gabrielle Moss Escapes The Parent Trap
A lot of you probably think your parents are a little annoying, or even kinda overbearing. But how far would they have to go for you to decide to cut them off completely? Growing up, that was a question writer Gabrielle Moss had no idea she could even consider, because it seemed like there was no limit to the toxic behavior her mom and dad were willing to exhibit. Then, as she outlined in her mega-viral 2018 article for Bustle, one day Gabrielle decided enough was enough, and immediately felt freer than she ever had in her life before. Gabrielle joins Holly to remind everyone that a relationship being important doesn’t automatically make it healthy. And when the person crossing your boundaries is the person you’ve been taught you're never supposed to walk away from…you definitely still can. *** SHOW SPONSOR: If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
