In this episode we are talking about family. What is it like for migrants to leave their families behind? Can anything prepare them for the loss of a loved one? Why are Slovak mothers-in-law hesitant to accept foreigners into the family? What are the challenges of parenthood as a foreigner? How do the children of migrants find a sense of belonging in Slovakia? Why do some families choose to stay? These are the questions we tackle in this episode. 

Thank you to my guests: Daria Rychagova, Jamie Byrne, Lia Bowers, Steve Mellor, Barbara Hill, and Eva Hill.
