Today I'm answering a listener question from Episode 36: “Can you discuss spending time with an aging parent you struggle with. One that has told you what a terrible daughter you are when you know you are not. You fear he doesn’t have much time but can’t bring yourself to visit especially since he doesn’t call or visit.”
How DO we navigate relationships with a difficult, aging parent? It requires understanding that their inability to love you properly reflects their own limitations, not your worth. We explore three options for dealing with difficult parents: enduring as is, creating boundaries, or walking away, and emphasize that navigating difficult parent relationships is less about them and more about you.
