Bio:
Quick side note: I was my maternal grandmother’s legal guardian for the last three years of her life. She had dementia. I ended up in the role because of the tremendously difficult/abusive relationship she had with my mother. I have worked with several clients who are in the exact position we’ll be talking about on this episode: how to care for a difficult mother/person (who may have abused you as a child and throughout your life) while maintaining healthy boundaries.
