When Your Religious Family Calls Abandonment ‘Love’ | 🍬 Soul Snack

What happens when you finally start telling the truth—and the people who claimed to unconditionally love you suddenly disappear? In this raw and unfiltered episode, Paul Cram shares his deeply personal story of family estrangement, the quiet grief of being unseen, and the heartbreak of showing up for people who never bothered to know him back.

This isn’t a polished memoir—it’s a work-in-progress. A voice note from the messy middle. Paul unpacks the layered sadness of watching his siblings and parents choose dogma over relationship, the anger of being erased, and the ongoing journey of building chosen family from the ground up.

It’s tender. It’s sharp. It’s painfully real.
And if you’ve ever lost people by telling your truth—you’ll find yourself in this episode.

Tune in.
Feel it.
And maybe whisper your own “fuck this shit” into the void.
