Listener shares her broken family ties and breaks down in tears

Loading player...
Do you have family members that are estranged to you? Was it by choice or just life taking its course? These are some of the hard hitting questions that Stacey & JSbu posed to KZN on Wednesday afternoon.

There is a popular saying that goes, 'Blood is thicker than water'. This saying is a metaphor that plays into the psyche that you should be more loyal to someone who shares the same blood line as yours then someone who does not. But what if that person continuously hurts you?

The chances are that if you have been evaluating strained relationships with your family, committing to cutting ties may bring a range of feelings such as anxiety, guilt, and even shame. The decision has to be a personal one for us all. Do you have family members you have cut off?

Listen to what KZN had to say.
