Ep. 49 - Forming Unhealthy Attachments With Your Child

Welcome to Ep. 49 of YOU Are Good Enough! Today we are talking about an unhealthy Codependent pattern that can arise when we make our secondary relationship (relationship to our children) our primary relationship.

When we form unhealthy attachments and give excessive attention to our children, rather than our partner/spouse, this hurts both relationships. If we consistently give more focus and attention to our children, not only does this build resentment within our primary relationship, but it also unbalances the family dynamic and causes confusion for the child. For example, many unhealthy dynamics can form from this imbalance, most importantly it keeps parents from being on the same foundation and team.

First steps in changing this dynamic towards more balance within the family, is to #1, get curious about yourself and how you relate to your partner and children. And #2, start including your partner in communication within your family, while keeping in mind that your child has another parent who is equally as valuable to that child.

In this Episode, we talk about:
1. Breakdown of Codependent relationships
2. Codependency in Intimate Relationships
3. Forming unhealthy attachments to our children
4. How children become the 'buffer' and 'excuse' between spouses
5. *Getting aware of our comfort level with our partner/primary relationship
6. Changing the negative dynamic
7. Including your spouse-building up teamwork between spouses

Hope this is helpful! Thank you everyone, and here's to YOU!
