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!💗
