I'm not willing to destroy my soul or to destroy my inner child for anyone else for any other reason.
Imagine juggling the demands of caring for an emotionally manipulative parent while trying to keep your own life on track. In this episode of 'Ask An Advanced Bitch', Elizabeth Kupferman tackles this exact dilemma, offering practical advice and heartfelt empathy. Elizabeth begins with an important update about the podcast’s new format and her newsletter, before diving into a listener's question about managing her relationship with her ailing mother.

Elizabeth breaks down how 'fawn' responders might feel overwhelmed in such situations and provides a roadmap for establishing healthier dynamics. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining an 'adult-to-adult' approach, ensuring that the parent does not regress into a child-like role that demands constant emotional chasing.
Elizabeth also offers strategies for setting boundaries that convey love and care while honoring the listener's own needs. The episode is filled with insights on dealing with codependency, overcoming CPTSD, and navigating grief and loss. By the end, Elizabeth encourages listeners to be patient and compassionate with themselves as they navigate these challenging family dynamics. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues, offering both hope and practical tools for fostering healthier relationships.
