maya · 5 min read · 2026-01-26

Bangalore - where you live 1000 km from family but family expectations follow you anyway.

You moved for freedom. But the WhatsApp groups never stop. The "when are you visiting" guilt never stops. If you're struggling, you're not alone.

Distance Doesn't Mean Freedom

Remote Parenting They're not here but they manage to control from afar. Video calls as surveillance.

Visit Guilt Every festival, every event - "You never come home." Work doesn't care about your guilt.

Life Decisions from Afar Marriage pressure, career advice, life commentary - delivered via phone daily.

When They Visit They come for 2 weeks. Your life is disrupted. Their expectations clash with your reality.

Navigating Long-Distance Family

Scheduled Calls Regular but boundaried. "I call every Sunday" is better than random daily calls.

Control the Narrative Share selectively. They don't need to know everything.

Visit on Your Terms Plan visits around your capacity, not their expectations.

Prepare for Their Visits Set expectations before they arrive. What you can and can't accommodate.

Distance from family is complicated. Freedom and guilt coexist.

Maya understands the complexity. Available 24/7 when you need to talk it through.
