In this bonus episode, we are discussing a controversial topic - toxic grandparents.
✅ Toxicity in a family doesn’t leave anyone out regardless of a person's title or role in your life, and this can include grandparents.
✅ As a culture, we place importance on having an extended family, with grandparents being a big part of that. When grandparents are healthy, this makes sense. When grandparents are abusive, it does not make sense.
✅ When you cut off from your parents this will often
include protecting your children from the negative influence of their grandparents.
✅ Not all grandparents are created equal and too often grandparents are perceived as harmless elderly folks who love to spoil their grandkids.
✅ How To’s and Boundaries to Set
NOTE: If you are on the other side of this issue, please listen to Episode 19 on Toxic Adult Children.
