This week on the Calling Home Podcast, Whitney Goodman discusses how to grieve the apology you've never received from a parent. This apology may have never been received due to various reasons such as death, mental health issues, or refusal to acknowledge past wrongs. Whitney will talk about how to accept this reality and focus on healing yourself and why you may need to abandon the fantasy of an ideal parent-child relationship.  Head over to cozyearth.com and use promo code "callinghome" for an exclusive 35% off.
