Hi friends!
Codependency! πͺππͺ
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".π€(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.
β οΈπͺππͺDon't lose who you are!ππ½
What to do?
Set boundaries in love and kindnessπ§π
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?ππ½π
From my heart to yours always!π

Tip 2: Do you feel stressed and regret because of a past event with the person in your care? Do you wish you could have handled things better? We all have regrets, but staying in a negative place for too long is never healthy. So, how can you change the "frame" of a past negative event so that you can continue to move forward with joy?
This is your place and time for your daily "pick me up"!π«π€
