Miley Cyrus reveals how she mended ‘messy’ family relationships without therapy amid decade of drama

Miley Cyrus is opening up about a decade’s collection of family conflicts and pain, sharing how she managed to repair relationships with everyone involved.

32-year-old celebrity had a high-profile birth, being the child of renowned country musician Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus, who also gained stardom early on through her role in the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana series.

Through her own efforts, she became a renowned international pop star; however, as shared on Tuesday’s Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, her journey to stardom was marred by familial struggles.

She found the entire family had experienced a particularly challenging, gloomy period lasting for about ten years, yet they managed to pull through.

Cyrus clarified during the podcast, where both the artist and Lewinsky participated, about the meaning of WAP, that their family managed to reconcile without requiring therapy sessions.

Cyrus humorously commented on their disorganized state, implying they hadn’t addressed any issues like seeking help from a therapist, because of family challenges.

‘Just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war,’ Cyrus admitted. 

She informed Lewinsky that, during one phase of what she referred to as a “dark decade,” roughly half of her family had stopped communicating with each other.

Cyrus openly expressed deep devotion towards her mother Tish, who parted ways with Billy Ray in 2022, following almost three decades of marriage and parenthood to Miley, Braison (age 31) and Noah (age 25).

Reflecting back on my upbringing, I’ve often found myself drawing parallels between my own life and the tumultuous relationship my parents experienced – a journey that culminated in their official separation and subsequent divorce, finalized in 2023. As I’ve shared before, their relationship was not always steady; it ebbed and flowed, much like the tides of the ocean. This rollercoaster ride had a profound impact on my personal development and growth.

‘(I) watched what happens when you don’t clean things up as they’re happening,’ Miley admitted.

She acknowledged, “Indeed, they accumulate over time. Then, quite unexpectedly, I find myself thinking, ‘Wow, it’s already been a decade, and I can hardly begin to tackle this. It feels like emotional hoarding.’

Eventually, the performer managed to sort everything out during a crucial period, reestablishing the channels of communication.

Here’s another option:
Ultimately, the artist tidied up all the issues during a significant time frame, restoring the means of communication.

And one more:
Finally, the vocalist resolved all the complications during a key phase, repairing the lines of communication.

She confessed that she simply pushed her way through the accumulated pile, exclaimed, “I’m here, you’re here,” and proposed, “Let’s first enjoy each other’s company, and as we bring happiness and joy into our lives, we’ll then be in a more suitable position to engage in deep conversations.

In my case, I found it less challenging to yield or surrender (rather than wave a white flag), than undergoing counseling sessions with another person.

The singer indicated that she prefers others to appreciate her style and try to emulate it.

On her upcoming album, she’ll tackle the family drama head-on, hinting at a track titled “Secrets.

Cyrus explained that the tune expresses her desire for her father to find the comfort to share with her the secrets that could harm or tarnish their family.
