I'm half-Iranian and all my Middle Eastern friends share the experience of over-bearing boundary-crossing parents... It actually really helped my understanding of my dad that a large part of hos behaviour is culturally-driven. Just wanted to add this to the mix on this issue! 🙂
I used to write off my parents' behavior off to culture, until I realized it was still toxic and detrimental, and I still had a right to express what was acceptable or Not for me. I could not say, "don't do that it is Wrong", but I Could say "don't do that because it does not work for Me"
Thank you once your kids are grown you need to respect them . I love it I know you better than you do my mom has said this to me . When she actually doesn’t know me at all I’ve changed so much . I’m a happier more peaceful person I feel great about myself and I like my life . Yes that’s my family money corhersive control . I give you this so I can tell you how to live your life how you can dress who you can be friends with who you can date where you can work but the truth is none of these decisions belong to my parents. My newest goal is to be more independent and not ask them for anything.
My parents wanted to control me even after I got married. I was expected to drop everything and be there for them no matter what was going on in my life. And my sibling expected the same. I had to go no contact to save my mental and physical health.
In my case there is money, but also "help with something or gift". My parents offered me to help me look after our cats during vacations, help clean up where we just moved. But then if we accept their offers, it's like giving them the right to tell me any shitty stuff or to control my life, etc. I will soon be 50 years old. it's like "really!! still doing this on me?!?" when I refused their "gift / help", they tried to make me feel bad and ungrateful. Since last January, I have low/no contact with them. I'm not sure I want to contact them at all or how to do it so it's an heatly relationship / boundary. Since a couple of weeks I start to watch your video. It help me a lot!! Thank you so much!!!!! and I just bought your book "Boundary Boss" this weekend and I started reading it. I definitely need this!! Thank you so much for your work!!
I am so sorry you experienced this with your parents, and I am glad you're doing what's best to protect yourself. ❤️ Thank you for buying Boundary Boss!! I hope it is helpful. ❤️
Thank you Terri, always learning... we kept giving money to our adult kids, never occurred to me that it's a way to control, however we should stop that.
It isn't *always* controlling- context matters a lot. (Does it come with strings attached?) But it could potentially be enabling, depending on the circumstances. ❤️
And if someone asks you something that's SUPER inappropriate, a great response is "Why would you ask such a personal question?" I admit that one is confrontational, and I like your responses better, but when someone crosses a BIG boundary, it's a great response.
While raising my children (and not knowing any better), I probably have contributed to this in them. Now after years of therapy and getting better at setting my own boundaries, I would like to make sure that I respect their boundaries and give them better opportunities to heal. Have you every done a session on looking at boundaries from the parents’ viewpoint of respect and how to show good, healthy and clear boundary setting?
Great advice. I am the eldest and a RN . My mother calls ONLY when she wants free medical advice. She also tells others to call me.. as in aunts etc. No matter how often I say no she overrides it.
Brilliant video 🙏. I always struggled with finding this balance to be there for my mum ( esp now that my father passed away 5 years ago ) AND taking good care of myself. The outside world claims that I should take care of my mum without any doubt, esp being single / no husband / no kids. I have learned that I am entitled to live MY life without any feelings of guilt. Yet it does remain a struggle putting my boundaries. Being HSP there are times I feel sad when my mum feels lonely. Yet she does know a lot of people and it is NOT my duty to lake her happy in life. Another struggle as my parents belong to a much older generation where their parents expected a lot of them. I feel grateful for living in these times yet there are still struggles. My mum expects a lot from my brother and she is not fully aware, or does not want to ? I am a bit sick and tired to be in between the 2 of them. Slowly slowly I learn my lessons and your videos dear Terri are SO helpful. Huge thanks from the bottom of my heart 🙏❤️🌷
I'm so glad they've been helpful ❤️ You're so right that you are not responsible for making your mother happy. If you're struggling not to take on her sadness, sometimes it can help to visualize where your side of the street ends and hers begins. ❤️
Please make another video about this it was so helpful. How to assert and leave parents when they consume your life and you are financially independent and they actually try to sabotage your autonomy
I'm glad it was helpful! ❤️ As for "leaving" parents, I do believe that all our adult relationships are voluntary. If your parents are abusive and cause you nothing but stress, and you have tried setting boundaries (with consequences) and they're still not respecting you, then you can cut contact, especially if you are financially independent and no longer living with them. I did answer a question about this in this video: th-cam.com/video/AJXBsiJJiUE/w-d-xo.html at the 12:49 minute mark.
Great advice!!! Thanks!!! Can you please give insight on only children. I am only child and currently I am struggling with both my aging parents and it is very difficult.
Hello Terri Cole- you are my latest TH-cam therapist on narcissistic abuse recovery type stuff I’ve subscribed too. I have several therapist I’ve subscribed too for last few years or so. I found your channel around this past early spring or summer, the algorithm brought you up while watching other therapist vids on the topic. I have more to say on it but for now, I recently 53 yrs young and maintaining and healthy mental/ emotional recovery while dealing with an aging narcissistic mother with minimum contact while still having to deal with her. Your vid is spot on as the central theme of all you stated that applies to me is being an and adult and still being treated like a child or teenager at times. Longer story short, I had to relate t myself as she was the overprotective crypt controlling parent that did not let me grow up the way she should in the first. Anyways, appreciate all you do and looking forward to looking at more vids to add to my self help reparenting skills.
I love the way you communicate in your videos, it is so helpful to me and has been over the last two years in low/no contact with my parents. Thank you for what you do!
Grdat topic - -familky of origin boundary issues - big one for me. Since taking your classes, reading your book, podcasts, etc, I am now setting family boundaries. I get a lot of negative comments made when I do. My brother told me I copped out from getting in the middle of a family argument/discussion. I chose NOT to voice my opinion to protect myself. He said I copped out. My sister told me to stop being so dramatic and senstive. They don't like me as a new powerful boundaru setting sister. You are amazing and I will continue to grow and learn to set healthy boundaries as part of learning to love myself. THANK YOU!
Really helpful, especially the section about caring for elderly parents and how that role is allocated amongst siblings. Will listen to it again. Thanks for your wisdom.
Another amazing video! Very helpful and really resonated, especially the part about not having children and shouldering more of an emotional burden because of it. I do not have children; my sister has one daughter. She is a single, divorced mother of a teenager. For years, it has been a silent (and sometimes verbal) agreement/expectation that because she is a single mother that her life is harder and because of that I will take care of our parents as they age and any sort of issues that may arise. The family dynamic ebbs and flows with her needs on a regular basis, but luckily I have done my part to extricate myself from that as I do not exist for my sister. Boundaries! The funny thing is that I am a cancer survivor slowly getting my life back (well, cultivating a new one as I mentioned in previous comments☺) yet I never use that as ammunition to place a burden on anyone. I've learned that when you are the level-headed, more mature one who can handle life's curveballs, more expectations are put upon you. It doesn't make it right, but I haven't figured out how to navigate this one yet!
Wonderful video Terry, thank you. How should I start to establish communication with my ex-daughter in law? We will be living 2 hrs fro her and want to have a healthy relationship with our grandchildren that live with her? What is the right way to start? Most appreciated 😊
Hi there- it depends on the context. How did communication with your ex daughter-in-law end? Did she specify that she no longer wanted contact, or otherwise set a boundary with you? If so, you might need to respect that, even though it's hard because I'm sure you want to see your grandchildren. It's difficult to have a healthy relationship with them without having one with her, you know? It also might depend on how your ex daughter-in-law feels about your son/daughter (it sounds like they're divorced?)- there might be a few dynamics to consider here. If she simply fell out of touch, call or text her and see if she would be open to talking. Express that you'd love to have a healthy relationship with her and your grandchildren, and maybe describe what you think that looks like. Be open to listening and respecting any concerns she may have. Address them if you can. Try and find a middle ground both of you are happy with if your first ideas don't work for her. If she is a single mom now, it might be a rough time for her and you may need to respect that she isn't ready to reconnect. I hope that helps you figure out an approach to take. xo
@@terri_cole they divorced 4 years ago. The grandchildren have cell phones and we call them on their birthday and Christmas and send them a gift. Ex-daughter in law remarried and got divorced for the second time, now she had 6 children. The holidays are coming and we always wanted to be a part of their lives. The mother of the kids has challenges managing her budget. My son pays child support. We have not had communication with her in about 3 years.
At the end of the video, about having not having kids hit me. I take care of our mum 100 percent. Pay for everything. Do everything, and I’m sick of it. Pop died years ago. And I actually have to say to mum, I’m not your damn husband! When I say why the f do I do everything when there are two siblings here! I get the you don’t have kids line. It Infuriates me! It wasn’t my choice not to have children, my spouse died at a young age from cancer! The whole thing sickens me. I’m “this close” to telling them all to go to hell.
Be careful with a trust agreement. If you can't trust the trustee, you're gonna have problems. Protect yourself. I almost got screwed out of my inheritance.
What if you set boundaries for your parents & they don’t take you seriously? What do you do when they laugh at the boundaries you are trying to set for yourself?
This is so painful, and I am sorry if you are experiencing this ❤️ Narcissists fall under the category of 'boundary destroyers.' They generally bulldoze over any boundaries you try to set. I talk about this in Boundary Boss, but you may want to consider lessening your contact (if you are able) and the amount of info you give them. Stick to telling them facts and try grey rocking, where you become as boring as possible. These videos may help: th-cam.com/video/hFrmWNieN_c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/baMxFXZIQBs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dDTF5iXvbi4/w-d-xo.html
I don't think so- if extended contact with your parents does a lot of damage to your mental health, or they are abusive in any way, I suggest trying to find other options (like outsourcing the care). I know it's not an option for everyone, which is why I also say talk about these things earlier so there is time to plan. ❤️ I also encourage people to think of it this way: if aliens were to come and abduct you overnight, people in your family would still figure it out in your absence.
Terri, not trying to be contrary, but perhaps there is a different way to classify or explain proper boundaries for parent child besides demonizing "friendship" in those relationships. I would never treat a friend the way you describe characteristics of relationships that are inappropriate with children/parents. I don't care if it's a non- blood relation or not, inappropriate behavior is inappropriate behavior. I AM - and hope to always be a "friend" with my kid in the scope of what are appropriate actions and intimacies of any friend. Such as trust, kindness, patience, being healthily interested in another person, etc. None of the best parts of true friendship need to be excluded in a relationship with anyone, child or not. Healthy boundaries are universal, I think. Anything that would be inappropriate with a child, is probably also inappropriate with a "friend", consentual non-familial adult (or any) sexual relationships excluded of course. I hope that came across how I meant it. I am my child's "friend" in the best/healthiest way (which includes respect and privacy) and she is mine, but we are not overly involved in ways of control, opinions, ideas, etc. (We have other issues we work on, of course), I would not do those things to any friend either. Perhaps there is a certain kind of relationship that can exist well with a child or parent that IS much like the best part of friendship without the inappropriate boundary violations that are truly across the line. Dang, this is a difficult idea to conceptualize in words....
