Show Notes
I get so many questions from women in the Flying Free and Flying Higher programs related to parenting older, adult children who grew up in toxic homes. One of the most common? How do I support my aduilt children who grew up in an spiritually and emotionally abusive home?
These relationships can be painful, tricky, and even traumatic because often the adult kids blame their mom either for getting out — or for not getting out soon enough. And that's just one of the complicated issues surrounding these relationships. So how can we approach our adult children in a way that shows them love and honor while maintaining our own self-respect?
In this episode Becky and I discuss:
- What some of the problems are in these relationships
- Why these problems exist
- What we CAN do in our relationships with our adult children
- What we CAN'T do for our adult children
- How we can manage our own minds through it all
