What if your family background feels like something you’ve had to escape—like you came from bad cloth—and now you’re trying to build a life from something new? 🧵
That’s the story behind this week’s email—from a man who cut ties with his manipulative, chaotic family and is now dating a woman whose family seems to have it all together.
Respectable. Traditional. “Good cloth.”
But the longer he’s around them, the more he notices the snags.
Microaggressions. Anti-Black comments. Quiet superiority.
Now he’s asking:
How do I protect my future family from this too?
In this episode:
✂️ Glenn opens up about drawing hard lines with his own family
💬 Yvette reflects on coming from a “cleaner cloth”—and what still gets revealed over time
🛑 We talk about boundaries, bias, and how to protect the culture of your home
📍Plus, advice for having real conversations with your partner’s family—even if you’re not married yet
This one is vulnerable, honest, and deeply relevant if you’re thinking about what you want to pass on… and what has to stop with you.
Watch now and join us in the comments:
Where have you had to draw the line with family?
And what do you want to protect your kids from—no matter who it comes from? 👇🏾
