I’ve cut off family in a unique way and it has helped me and my family more so.
My parents and their parents etc were immigrants. English is very much a second language for them.
I was born in Aus. My English is great even though it’s also my second language.
I married an Aussie. I made a conscious decision to not teach my hubby or kids my original language.
It has protected my kids 100% because they can’t understand what my mother says.
