Episode My Mom Is A Narcissist, But I Want My Son To Have A Relationship With Her
How can you create boundaries with toxic family members while still encouraging your child to explore the relationships that feel meaningful to them? It’s a tricky task that we’ll be tackling in this episode, with a single mom who doesn’t want to keep recreating patterns of her past. This conversation is about figuring out and enforcing healthy boundaries, especially the ones that don’t seem to work right away, and how to keep showing up until they stick — all in service of a better future for our kids.
Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.
