What do you do when caring for your parent reopens every wound you thought had healed?

In this episode of This Life or Something Better, we're diving into the complicated, emotional space where caregiving and old family roles collide. You may be the one driving to appointments, making medical decisions, showing up day after day, and still being treated like the problem. And that's not just exhausting, it's heartbreaking.

If you've ever asked yourself, "Why does it feel like I'm the villain, even when I'm trying to help?", this conversation is for you.

We'll explore:

• • The invisible grief that lives beneath the frustration
  • What happens when you become the caretaker and the emotional target
  • Why old family roles resurface under stress
  • And how to begin separating who you are now from who you were in childhood

You'll walk away with reflection questions, embodiment tools, and simple but powerful internal dialogue to use when it all feels like too much. Because this isn't just about the logistics of caregiving. It's about reclaiming your identity and setting boundaries within a relationship that overlooked your true self.

If you're carrying the weight of someone else's pain while silencing your own, you don't have to do it alone. Let this episode remind you: what you're feeling is real, and you're allowed to care without losing yourself in the process.
