My Father Said I Have No Daughter Anymore - a story about family rejection / disowned

When family rejects you, the grief is sacred and the wound is real. But you do not stop being a daughter, a son, a sibling - you become the one who keeps the door open while the other person learns to walk back through it.

“Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life.”

- Nichiren Daishonin, 'Happiness in This World,' WND-1, p. 681
