Something goes wrong at home. A glass tips over. Someone forgot to change the laundry, unload the dishwasher. The dog escapes. Within seconds there's a full trial underway about whose fault it is. Whitney breaks down what's actually happening in families that run on blame.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why blame feels like accountability but actually prevents it
How the scapegoat and golden child both learn about fault
The three-part anatomy of real repair
What to do when you can repair and your family can’t
How to stop the cycle blame with your own kids
