Summary

What does showing up for your children mean once they are adults? It is selfish to “let them go,” make mistakes, and struggle as they make their own way in the world? Also, why in the world would an abuser file for divorce from his victim? Isn’t it usually the other way around?

Natalie is back answering listener questions, and her insights will encourage and support you.

Key Points From This Episode:

Why you aren’t selfish for refusing to take responsibility for your adult children.
The differences between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood.
Strategies for how you can support and help your adult children while still maintaining healthy boundaries.
Why an abuser may file for divorce before you do.
Why disregarding your abuser’s motives and instead focusing on your own rebuilding is critical.
