What happens when the people closest to you are the very ones who harm you? In this episode, we unravel the heartbreak of betrayal by those we trusted the most—family. Tina White opens up about the deep mental health toll of hidden hate, the silence it forces, and the healing that begins when we stop making excuses for toxic loyalty.
