Summary

Dealing with a hurtful person is often hard enough. When they have hurtful parents, however, it gets even harder. Especially when you thought you had a somewhat good relationship with them. When their parents can't see their own child being hurtful toward you, you may not get the compassion and support you're looking for.

0:00.0	Welcome to Love and Abuse, the show about helping you identify poisonous communication and toxic behavior.
0:07.4	You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.
0:10.9	That's why it's important that you learn to pinpoint manipulative and controlling behavior so that you keep your power and your sanity.
0:18.2	I'm your host, Paul Koliani.
0:36.0	Welcome to another episode of love and abuse. All the information on the show is meant for educational purposes only.
0:42.2	Always seek a professional for your mental health and well-being, and always pick your battles wisely.

1:53.0	today. Somebody wrote to me and she said that she's been listening and she's bouncing in
1:58.0	and out of the not too sure phase. She said, I left and I'm getting my own
2:02.5	house and we're doing counseling, but we're not going to counseling together yet. And this message
2:08.8	might be a little old, so I'm not sure if they're doing that together yet or not. That's a whole
