You are an expert by experience and it is about standing up for what you believe in and standing firm with that. Regarding abusive parental messages, remind yourself that they no longer have that control over you and you are allowed to say what you want now. Initially it can feel very scary but really, what is the worst that can happen now? Allow that voice but also know that your hugs are also truly appreciated.
