  • I debated on whether or not to share this because it’s pretty personal but its also one of those things in life that happens and others out there may be experiencing the same kinds of feelings that I am around it.
    Hope you are well.

    Family dynamics can be so difficult. Even when people seemingly come from a "normal" family, it can be deceiving. On a better not, I just love what you have done and are doing to your home. It is so cozy, and so pretty. ❤

      I feel this so deeply. As you get older and start to realize not everything was as it seems can feel heartbreaking but it can allow you to heal too. And thank you! A cozy, welcoming home is very important to me :)

    Well done, you. Be proud of yourself.
    Hope the whole family meal went well. You so deserve more positive vibes in your life xx

      Thank you so much!! That is so sweet. The family dinner was really nice as well!

    yes, family dynamics can be so complicated, and often the next generation carries the burden of being negatively impacted by the less-than-ideal circumstances.

      So true. I'm trying so hard to break the cycle but I'm still only human too ;)

    Hi Amanda. This summer has been hot and smokey. I am looking forward to some snow eventually. Here in Spokane. M.H.

    Hi Amanda, It seems we have a lot in common with our fathers. I know how you feel. I'm the oldest 1 sister I grew up with and a sister and brother. I met my father when I was 35 and had my own family. To make a long story short. We didn't get a long. His daughter was very jealous of me and my sister. Sometimes, I think it worked out for the best.

      Thank you for sharing. I'm pretty lucky that I really like my little half sister. She is honestly more like a niece to me.

    Amanda oddly enough, I can relate over 3k miles away.
    All I could do is process it, let it go and don't hold against my little half sister
    Our parents take these moments with them. It's their baggage to carry.
    Hugs from 🇨🇦 and wow your hair has really been reborn just like you.

    I love seeing your fur baby says they’re so cute. I’m sure this has to bring up a lot of mixed feelings. I didn’t have the perfect childhood. I love my parents. I miss them, but I didn’t have that. Leave it to Beaver type family. We were a little dysfunctional that’s for sure.

    • @helloamandawhitworth

      I think honestly ever family is dysfunctional to some level.

    Shirley here. I gave a half brother from my father, I never even knew it till he was in hue 20's. He did well in life though he became a vetanerian and married into a family of surgeons.

    I know what you mean about feeling tired. I get emotionally tired not just physically but just dealing with people sometimes drains me

    I know how u feel but we can't blame the child.

      I didn't blame the child. I really feel protective of her.

    Hi Amanda, who gave you your beautiful hair, mom or dad? Love your videos!💕

      It’s funny, we have no clue! Both my parents kind of have thick wavy hair

    Wondering if your dad is "happier" now. If yes that would bring up mixed feelings for sure. (Ann)

    • @helloamandawhitworth
      @helloamandawhitworth  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      In a way I definitely think he is happier now but I think it's more because of where he lives now more than anything.

    Before watching this video and just seeing the thumbnail I thought, is her half sister actress Minnie Driver🤔

      Hahaha! I get that I look like Minnie driver a lot
