My Adult Child's Suffering Is Crushing ME
from The Reconciled Relationships Podcast · host Sally Harris
Are you carrying the emotional weight of your adult child's pain—so much that it's starting to crush you? In this episode, we're diving into the painful reality of toxic empathy, when your love and compassion turn into emotional exhaustion. As a mom, it's natural to feel deeply—but when your empathy starts to erase your peace, your identity, and your well-being, something has to shift. We'll explore what toxic empathy looks like, how to recognize emotional enmeshment, and why setting boundaries isn't selfish—it's necessary. If you're tired of walking on eggshells, drained from constantly worrying, and feeling like you're losing yourself in their struggles, this conversation is for you. You can care without collapsing. You can love deeply and still protect your heart. And most importantly, you are not alone. Listen now and discover how to love them well—without losing yourself in the process. 💛 READY TO TAKE YOUR FIRST STEP?
