People who refuse to take responsibility for their own choices blame them on others. Detaching from blamers is the only thing that will enable you to not be drawn into their game. If you don't detach, you will become defensive and argue with the person to deny responsibility. You may also struggle with deep guilt and question yourself as you battle with the possibility that you are to blame. Watch this video to put an end to this by detaching from blamers. #detachment #blamers #dysfunctionalrelationship

Parenting is a difficult job. We do it because we love our children. None of us plan to hurt them. It never occurs to us that our children will end up criticizing our efforts and harboring resentments. But when they do, we must handle it the right way. Do you know how to listen to your adult child's hurt from you? If you don't, you will likely make things worse by reacting the wrong way. It is never easy to hear your adult child's perceptions of the things you've done to cause pain and hurt--even when you want to listen. It is easy to feel fearful and attacked and get defensive, but this guarantees there won't be any healing. Watch this video to prepare yourself to listen to your adult child's hurt from you. #healing #dysfunctionalrelationship #healthyrelationships
