18: Listener questions: Caring for Adult Children, Coparenting Challenges With Your Ex and Challenges Going to Therapy


Listen Later

Join me, Dr. Angela Downey, as we unravel the emotional tug-of-war parents face, the financial challenges, and the heartache of trying to foster independence in adult children. This episode sheds light on the deep mental and physical toll caregiving can take, along with its ripple effects on relationships with family members and partners. It's a compassionate and insightful discussion aimed at providing support and perspective to parents navigating these complex dynamics.

In the second part of our episode, we navigate the turbulent waters of co-parenting after a toxic relationship, where managing triggers become daily battles. We explore the necessity of setting boundaries, the struggle of dealing with unresolved emotional wounds, and the importance of finding internal closure when external validation isn't forthcoming. Finally, we emphasize self-care and self-awareness, reminding you to prioritize your mental health and nurturing your relationship with yourself. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that promises to guide you toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships and personal well-being.
