I always felt weird that I kept my kids away from my nuclear family and let them hang out with their father's family, now as I have gotten older and I see the result, I am happier with my decision. My kids talk directly, state their wants and boundaries clearly and are accepting of others. My sister is currently ghosting me because I asked a direct question of her. My mother once complained my kids were rude for stating their feelings at her house once. I get it now, I don't fit in and their right, I don't want to either. It doesn't stop my pain but my kids don't have it. Addictions are a huge factor in my family and so is anti social behavior.

“Trying to rescue themselves with broken tools…” ❤love it

I can relate to the feeling that I don't deserve love ...

My husband's family has extreme codependency and enmeshment - I lost myself trying to fit in and rescue my alcoholic husband who is also a covert narcissist....like his mother....so glad I am able to set healthy boundaries and detach from them...my husband and his parents are very emotionally abusive

If you only knew the magnitude of how much you’ve helped me, you’d be amazed!! I can’t thank you enough for the work you’ve done. I really do owe you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I listened to every word rang true for me. I will have to listen to this again. You do an excellent work of explaining this complex dance, thanks!

A family is supposed to support each other. If you re in family that has never supported you then GET OUT- Get a FOSTER FAMILY.

This brings so much clarity, not only to see how far I have come to love myself and break the cycle of codependency within myself, but to also recognize these behaviors and cycles in others. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

Another fantastic lecture doc. You teach important therapeutic topics that grad school does not touch and your presentation of information is excellent. Thank you so very much.

The Light shines in the darkness. I thank you for all that you do-Blessings always!

This is one of the best videos I've seen on the topic. I've been working on myself for almost 2 years realizing that I have strong codependent tendencies. It's breaking out of this drama triangle and recognizing it for what it is,in those closest to me. The way I relate to people is so different now. It's healthier. I'm still working through all of this though.

Eye opening.

You are amazing! I thank God I found this channel so I can finally get the help I need! Self awareness is everything!! And now that I’m aware I can take action! Thank you so much for saving lives!!

Bless 🙏🏼 You

Very insightful!! So much to unpack. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful information! Your work is helping so many people out there.

this is good stuff, so many same traits of a narcissist. i understand the difference. the major of the recent society jumps right to labeling someone a narcissist. thank you as there is so much confusion on these topics.

I feel like there are infinite drama triangles shifting around and operating on a constant basis in my extended family, on both sides. I do not want to be involved because there is no other way to exist within the system that is outside these three roles.

This is probably the most profound video I’ve ever watched. Had to watch a few more times and take notes. Thank you for explaining this so eloquently. It has helped me understand where i am in my relationship and why I’m so confused. I’ve gained some knowledge and clarity. Thank you 🙏🏻
