Michelle Elman, a life coach and best-selling author, has come out with Brooklyn Beckham’s statement, saying it’s her true “last resort.”
Brooklyn Beckham explained in a statement on his Instagram stories on Monday (January 19) why he had decided to end ties with his father, David Beckham, and mother, Victoria Beckham. The 26-year-old claimed that he had “no choice” but to make his case known by claiming to have been told by his parents.
I’m not interested in reconciling with my family. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled. My parents have controlled our family’s narratives in the media for my entire life. He wrote, “My life was shaped by the performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships.”
He also accused mum and former Spice Girl Victoria of “stealing” his first dance at his wedding to Nicola Peltz, according to the statement, which spans several Instagram stories.
Brooklyn Beckham has been praised for being brave and decisive, despite the controversy surrounding who is in the “right” on the internet. Michelle expressed concern that if she spoke out rather than remain silent, she was “going to get slammed even harder than he already has.”
“We’ve seen it with Meghan Markle and Adam Peaty who didn’t invite her dad to their weddings,” writes Oprah, who recently made a documentary about the recent trend of cutting out family members. Michelle asserted that this is not a recent trend.
She continued, “I don’t know a single person who has used this in the past, trying to establish new boundaries, creating healthier dynamics, and truly wanting it to work out in any other way.”
Be grateful you don’t understand why someone would cut out their family, as I say in my main message. You only get to understand when your family dynamic is that.
“And the people who don’t understand and say, “Oh, I could never not talk to my mother,” because they don’t have the kind of mother you’d rather talk to!
People see this as a “betrayal,” and Nicola is “blamed” for it because she claimed Brooklyn wanted to “create space and distance” from his “enmeshed family unit.”
She added that seeing “another family up close,” which may have caused some soul-searching from Brooklyn, led to his realization that his relationship with his parents wasn’t “healthy.” It’s much easier for your family to blame your new spouse than take responsibility, Michelle continued, citing the fact that it’s “never an easy decision” to cut someone off, explaining that it frequently takes “years, if not decades to finally cut someone out.”
She put the words “It takes so much bravery to step away from a family system knowing you’ll be the victim.” It’s only a last resort when setting boundaries, but it’s occasionally necessary and the only thing they’ll consider taking seriously. Be content to understand someone’s decision to stop speaking to their family if you can’t.
No one makes the first choice of not to contact. It isn’t impulsive. It is not fashionable. After years, sometimes decades, trying everything else, this happens.
