Transcript

Welcome to Toxic Parent Recovery. What brings you in today? I have no idea why my daughter won't talk to me anymore! Well, let's check a few things. Did you validate her feelings growing up? No. She had a tiptoe around mine. How did you handle arguments? Post about it on Facebook. And I talk badly about her to her siblings. Do you respect that She's busy? My happiness is her responsibility! Do you respect her parenting? I undermine her in front of her kids. Do you support her marriage? Ugh. I told her he wasn't good enough. How do you respond to boundaries? I cry and fake an illness and call her selfish and ungrateful. Have you ever apologised for anything? I've never done anything wrong. Okay, so you really don't know why your daughter won't talk to you anymore? I think she's been influenced by TikTok. Okay, I think we're done here. Next!
