Did you grow up in a dysfunctional home and not know what "normal" is? You are not alone. In this episode, I discuss the various questions that Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families Don't Understand, including how it feels to rely on your parents, and how to set boundaries. If you struggle with these, I encourage you to find a therapist and work through these difficult issues. There is no shame in not knowing what healthy relationships or habits look like if you never got to see any!
Here are links to the books I mentioned!
The Ghost In The House (about growing up with a depressed mother)
Children of the Self-Absorbed (when you have narcissistic parents)
Running on Empty (about childhood emotional neglect)
