Episode notes
Screen For Red Flags Immediately
- Look for clear red flags early and refuse to normalize cheating or secretive behavior around you and your family.
- Protect your family by distancing from friends who require you to keep harmful secrets or excuse immoral acts.
Family Knows But Keeps The Secret
- The caller described a half-sister who reconnected with an ex, sexted, and kept it secret from her husband while telling many female relatives.
- The caller felt compelled to want to tell the husband but was pressured by other family members to keep the secret.
Validate Support, Then Monitor Behavior
- If a diagnosis brings real support and resources, respect it; otherwise remain curious and monitor development before labeling.
- Consider asking to see the child on video or in person to form your own impression rather than rely only on secondhand descriptions.
