Hi friends!

Codependency! 🪝💗🪝

The "hooks" can be disheartening and cause you to lose who you are in the process of being the one "who fixes", the one who "is always there to help".🤔(in any relationship).

In the context of elderly parent and family caregiver relationships, codependency occurs when the caregiver's sense of purpose and self-worth becomes overly reliant on meeting the parent's/spouses' needs, often at the expense of their own well-being.

⚠️🪝💗🪝Don't lose who you are!🙏🏽

What to do?

Set boundaries in love and kindness🚧💗

Seek support from others (yes, ask for help!)

Make self-care your priority!

Encourage the parent's/spouse's independence where possible- let them take "agency and accountability wherever possible.

The result? A healthier and more balanced relationship dynamic.

Yes , Yes?👍🏽😊

From my heart to yours always!💗
