Are You Replacing Your Partner with a Parent or Child?

Hey there, Colors Beams! Have you ever seen someone treat their parent or child like their spouse? Have you been that person? Whether it's going to your mom or child to make big relationship decisions, or venting to them about things that should’ve stayed between y'alls 4 walls—this is what we call a Colorful Situation where someone is a "parental sub." This can create real tension, confusion, and emotional distance in a marriage or serious committed relationship. In this episode, we’re talking about IT and how it affects everyone involved. Let’s talk about it, ColorsBeams—it’s time for some real conversations. Come hang out with us, and let’s unpack it together! Share your story, your perspective. Drop your thoughts in the comments and join the conversation!
