In this powerful follow-up to our recent episode on family dynamics, we go deeper into what it’s like to grow up in a dysfunctional family system and what it takes to break free. We talk about emotionally immature parents, the painful dynamics of enmeshment, and the subtle but lasting damage of emotional neglect.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” had to parent your parents, or felt like healing was treated as betrayal, this one’s for you. From a spouse's perspective, it feels like it's you against the world as you seem to be the only person that can see the dysfunction - and it's incredibly isolating. We share our own experiences navigating these systems, how it nearly tore our marriage apart, and what finally helped us see the truth. We also talk about the reality of going no-contact with a parent - not as a first step, but a last resort - and why it might be the only path to peace for some.

This episode is for anyone who has ever been impacted by a dysfunctional family...for those that have felt unseen, unheard, or unimportant in their own family and who’s ready to choose something healthier.
