Parenting without a manual can feel like a rollercoaster, especially when codependency throws a wrench into the works. In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya tackle the tricky topic of codependent parenting. Are you unknowingly following in your parents' footsteps, or perhaps creating new patterns? They chat about the blurry lines between nurturing and overstepping boundaries, providing eight telltale signs of codependency that might ring a bell.
From victim mentality to mood swings, they explore how these behaviours can muddle a child's understanding of their own feelings. With a dash of humour, Jerry and Tanya share personal anecdotes, highlighting the importance of recognising these traits and offering tips on breaking the cycle. It's not just about identifying problems but finding ways to foster healthier relationships with your children.
They emphasise the significance of apologising and taking responsibility for one's actions, while reminding us that every child is inherently valuable, irrespective of their achievements. The duo also touch on self-care and the necessity of setting boundaries – for both parents and kids. Tanya even shares a thought-provoking poem by Khalil Gibran, urging parents to provide stability rather than chaos.
The episode is a candid look at the complexities of family dynamics, sprinkled with wisdom and encouragement for anyone navigating the maze of parenting. Whether you're reflecting on your own upbringing or seeking ways to better your parenting approach, this episode offers a compassionate perspective that might just inspire you to make some positive changes.
