Wow, so sorry for that mixup. My advice for Caller 1 has completely changed after I heard the entire voicemail, not just half of it. If you've already listened, this is an updated version of that episode.

April 24, 2025Q&A: "I'm Just A Rest Stop."
Hi! We have two caller questions this week + my three little epiphanies:
Some families are “role” families and some families are “relationship families.”
Sometimes the most adult thing you can do is stand up for yourself.
There is a special pain in families where people know exactly how to act around others, but give you the worst version of themselves.

Caller 1 feels like a rest stop to her father and never his actual destination. Caller 2 is asking about personality changes for elderly adults.

April 17, 2025Q&A: My Sibling Keeps Sharing Info With My Estranged Parent
Today, we have two caller questions. I also talk about my three little epiphanies for the week:
The most ineffective way to resume contact with someone after estrangement is by demanding a relationship with them.
For some adults, their parents are their biggest haters.
There’s a big difference between not wanting kids and feeling like you can’t have them because of your own childhood wounds.
