Seniors: If Your Children Do These 6 Things Repeatedly, Let Them Go

After 40 years as a clinical psychologist, I've sat across from hundreds of parents who stayed in painful, one-sided relationships with their adult children — not because they were weak, but because they loved deeply. This video is for them. And for you. There is a profound difference between a relationship going through a difficult season and a relationship built on a repeated pattern of disrespect, manipulation, or indifference. In this video, I'll walk you through 6 specific behaviors — not one-time incidents, but repeated patterns — that clinical experience and psychological research both say are signs that it may be time to stop chasing a connection that is consistently costing you your dignity, your peace, and your sense of self. "Letting go" does not mean you stop loving your child. It means you stop surrendering yourself in pursuit of love that is being deliberately withheld. There is a difference. And understanding that difference may be the most important thing you do for your wellbeing in this season of life. If you've ever felt like a burden for having needs, had your history rewritten against you, or been cut off from your grandchildren as punishment — this video is for you. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUem6lc-vKzU1D57Rk1moTw?sub_confirmation=1 Seniors: If Your Children Do These 6 Things Repeatedly, Let Them Go This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
