Caring For Parents Who Didn't Care


Listen Later

You spoke and we listened. What happens when you are asked to care for a parent who didn't care for you? Our latest episode courageously exposes the underbelly of a home in turmoil, exploring the raw and often concealed struggles that families endure. J's vulnerability in sharing her own experiences with us sheds light on the complexities and painful realities of harsh familial ties. From hard words to the brink of collapse, this episode is a journey through the battlefield of a home divided.

This is no ordinary discussion; it’s a confrontation with the shadows that lurk in the corners of what we call home. We navigate through themes of betrayal, the trials of parenthood, and the desperate search for identity and recognition within the tangled web of family relations.  J offers a look at the emotional scars left behind in childhood and the courage it takes to face them when it comes to an ailing parent. It's a poignant reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the power of speaking one's truth. Join us for an episode that is sure to resonate deeply, challenging your perceptions of family and caregiving.
