Guilt can be one of the hardest parts of healing from a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother. How do you know when guilt means you’ve actually done something wrong and when it’s the result of breaking an old rule about what a “good daughter” is supposed to be?
This week, we’re talking about guilt, obligation, boundaries, and complex grief in difficult mother-daughter relationships. How do you decide what you actually owe a parent who hurt you? And how do you make painful decisions about contact, caregiving, or family relationships without allowing guilt to make those decisions for you?
This episode includes discussion of childhood physical abuse, sexual boundary violations, racism, and disturbing revelations about a family member’s sexual behavior involving a child. Please take care of yourself while listening.
