Can You Escape Toxic Family in the Afterlife?

Hi, Allison.

My name is Jennifer.

And first of all, just thank you for everything that you do.

I'm It makes me very happy to be able to listen to someone who has some expert knowledge.

And you just sound so wonderful with your family members that you have on your show.

It just makes me happy.

So thank you for everything that you do.

My question is trying to understand When I hear people talk about reincarnation and that there are those who believe that our souls choose our parents, I'm wanting to understand, what is your understanding of how that works? Because for me, I'm having a hard time really understanding this our souls choosing our parents, if that is an accurate depiction of what happens.

Because if that's the case, those of us that have been born into families with extreme abuse, I just have a hard time.

That means that we're choosing that.

And to me, that just comes across very much as a victim-blaming situation.

You know, if you're in that situation, then that's what you chose.

So I'm having a hard time with that.

So if you wouldn't mind giving me your thoughts of what your understanding is of how that works, I would appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

So I too have had a hard time with that question.

So I thought this would be a good forum to take a deeper look at it.

I've talked to Tom McMullen, my astrologer extraordinaire, about this very topic.

He looks at charts and in his experience, it does seem that our soul chooses our parents.

And I question that.

I'm like, Oh, okay.

For myself.

So, you know, I had a dad that I saw on Saturdays, but really no other time.

And so he was the fun dad, but wasn't there as much as say your dad would be.

So you look at your parents and parents aren't perfect.
