TITLE

When your kidult is engaging in behavior that doesn’t align with your values

GUEST

Daniel Young

EPISODE OVERVIEW

My twins were home from college for the weekend, and my son Daniel sat down with me to chat.  I asked him what it’s like to have a mom who’s a therapist. We also talk about how we navigated when Daniel started engaging in behaviors that did not align with our family’s values.  It’s controversial since most families would probably forbid the kidult against engaging in the behavior.  My relationship with my son was more important, and since he was going to be 18 soon and heading off to college, it felt more important to have open and honest conversations with him about his behavior; how to stay safe and what my concerns were.  I also think I may have been manipulative when I tell Daniel at the end that I love him.  I think I wanted you all to hear that my son tells me he loves me.
