Does this sound like you?
- How often do you call your siblings, parents, uncles, and aunties?
- Are you a firstborn in the family and feel stuck while other siblings are progressing?
- Is there a pattern in your family that is worrying everyone, but no one is ready to confront it?
- Does your family hold family get-togethers like our parents used to promote when we were young?
- Are there times you wonder whether it’s just your family where people hate each other and find the smallest fault to fight?
- Where do most of your family members converge? Wedding, funerals, baby showers, or meet and greet, at the parents’ home?
- How does your family tree look, and what unpleasant traits or behaviour have been transmuted from ancestral lines into your nuclear family?
- Would you call your family dysfunctional or functional?
- If any of the questions resonate with your current situation in the family, become the ‘big adult’ and plan for family therapy.
More often than not, it’s disrespectful to them (our children), and disrespectful to their struggle with their tasks in life- if our own anxiety as parents makes us cling to our children. It’s disrespectful is we demand more intimacy than they are willing or able to give. Too much involvement with our children is not an act of love- it’s an act of selfishness.Ready to talk to someone?
