When Love Turns Into Enabling
from The Paradigm Shifts Podcast Network · host Kaila New York
In this video, I’m talking honestly about something I had to see in real time as a mother.Sometimes we love our children so hard, especially when they have different needs, that we start carrying their whole journey like it belongs to us. But I had to realize that Dylan has his own path, his own choices, and his own lessons too.This isn’t about blaming our kids. This is about checking where our guilt has been doing too much, where our love has been overcompensating, and where we may need to step back so they can grow.Because being a mother doesn’t mean doing everything for them forever. Sometimes love means boundaries. Sometimes love means letting them know they are not the only person in the house. And sometimes love means being the “bad guy” so they can become stronger.
