In this episode, we’re addressing an often painful topic: toxic parents – difficult-to-deal-with parents.
“Hey, wait a second Nancy – my Mom is a gem – everyone loves her; she volunteers at the church and reads to children after school. The homestead is a showcase at Christmastime.”
Well, that’s great that you have such a wonderful mama – it is a genuine blessing, and I’m not going to take that away from you. Not everyone has such a circumstance – I’m not talking to you today.
If you felt a tightness in your chest when you heard that phrase, you’re not alone. Many of my clients, even those in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, struggle with parents who continue to be everything from uncooperative to downright mean, manipulative, critical, accusatory, controlling, demanding until they get their way – downright challenging to be around. It doesn’t matter how old you are – these patterns can follow us throughout our lives.
But here’s the good news: You have choices. You can reclaim your peace and autonomy while protecting yourself and your future. I hope by the end of today’s podcast, you will have a few nuggets of wisdom to pull from this episode that will help you do that.
