Illness doesn’t erase dysfunction, it complicates it.
Finding your way through care, boundaries, and hard choices, without losing yourself.
Every month at Calling Home, we focus on one powerful theme that shapes family life and relationships. For the month of October, we’re exploring illness, disability, and the end of life in dysfunctional families.
New content and groups begin on October 6, 2025, for members of The Family Cyclebreakers Club. Content is yours for life.
You have a strained relationship with your family member or parent, and now they're sick, disabled, or dying.
You may be asking yourself some impossible questions:
- How do I handle siblings who guilt-trip me into caregiving, while others won’t lift a finger?
- What if I’m asked to make medical or end-of-life decisions for someone I’m estranged from?
- What happens when I’m named executor for a parent or family member I no longer have contact with?
- How do I cope with the resentment, grief, and guilt I'm feeling?
- Is it wrong not to help them?
- How can I make sure they're cared for without hurting myself?
This October, inside the Family Cyclebreakers Club:
- Weekly Content Drops: Articles, worksheets, and videos on topics like medical decision-making, executor duties, guilt, and boundaries.
- Live Support Groups: Led by licensed therapists, where you can process grief, resentment, and guilt with people who understand.
- Judgment-Free Community: A place where you’ll never be told you “must” care for someone just because they’re family.
Go from overwhelmed to empowered.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Confused | Clear on your role and choices |
| Isolated | Supported by people who get it |
| Overwhelmed with guilt | Processing your feelings without shame |
| Afraid of expectations | Confident in decisions that honor your values |
You don’t have to face this alone.
This month isn’t about telling you what you should do. It’s about helping you see what you can do, and supporting you every step of the way.
Inside the Family Cyclebreakers Club, you’ll find weekly resources, a safe community, and therapist-led groups to guide you through illness, care, and family dysfunction.
You can do something different.
