Miley Cyrus Rebuilds Family Ties After Decade-Long Rift

Miley Cyrus has opened up about the intense family drama she and her relatives endured over the past decade, describing it as a 'dark decade' marked by significant estrangement, particularly after her parents' divorce in 2022. She revealed that at one point, half of her family members were not speaking to each other, and the situation was so fraught that traditional family therapy was not a viable option. Instead, Cyrus took a personal approach to reconciliation by initiating low-pressure, joyful interactions to rebuild communication and mend relationships. The singer highlighted how unresolved conflicts accumulated over time, likening it to 'emotional hoarding,' and emphasized the importance of addressing issues promptly to avoid long-term damage. She also acknowledged the strain her earlier provocative public persona had on her family relationships and personal life. Through this healing process, Cyrus has managed to restore bonds with her family members, including her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and plans to explore these complex family dynamics in her upcoming album.
