Therapy Brothers

Caller Jeff's Question: "I have had some short sporadic visits with my son and mostly when he wants something. The other day he came over and wanted to talk about financial support as an adult going off to college. He told me flat-out that I better commit to helping him or he is out of my life for good. He is saying that this is a boundary. I am calling it extortion and manipulation. Even though I am upset by his tone and demands, I will still help him and I can't fault him for his presentations of performance-based love. It is the pattern he has grown up with, he doesn't know any better. Whatever choice I seem to make is one that can't be met with unconditional love. I am surrounded by unspoken expectations and presented with, "do as I say or you're cut off" all the time and I certainly can't make everyone happy. My question is how do I move forward in a healthy way with him that also helps me stand in my own values and doesn't enable him?"

The Therapy Brothers discuss healthy vs unhealthy parenting. So many of us are working hard to create a perfect world for our kids to grow up in. That often includes a facade of our own instead of transparency. There is a balance that we can strike to give our kids a more realistic understanding of who we are as parents individually and as a couple.

Sarah's Question: "My husband disclosed 3 months ago that he has been using (and blatantly lying about using) pornography for the entirety of our 10-year marriage as well as while we were dating. He also disclosed some financial dishonesty. Eventually, he shared that he no longer shares the same beliefs as me. I am struggling with knowing how to reconcile everything. I love my husband and the life I thought we had before all this came out. I want to make this work, but it feels absolutely overwhelming."
