Welcome to Stand Alone's podcast! In today's episode, meet Mina - Mina's experience of estrangement from her family began after forming a relationship with her partner, who wasn't accepted into the family due to conflicting religions.
For years following her degree, Mina experienced what she called a "semi-estrangement", before making the decision to cut contact permanently just over a year ago.
