Should you take care of your parents, even when they decide to take the mainstream medicine route?
This week's audacious ask comes from a listener watching her mother go further down a medical path that seems to be making things worse, and she wants to know how to navigate it without losing herself in the process.
Caring for an aging parent who keeps choosing conventional medicine you no longer trust is one of the most disorienting positions a holistic-minded woman can find herself in.
The cultural assumption that adult children should manage their parents' healthcare is backwards. Family constellation work shows that healing flows from child to parent, and that repair is very different from taking responsibility for another adult's medical choices.
I go over the three parts likely driving your caretaking, and why the moment you make those visible is the moment you stop over-functioning and start setting real limits. I also share the exact boundary I set with my own parents years ago, and how it broke a decades-long pattern of commiseration around pathology in my family.
Their body is their business. What you're willing to offer is yours. The freedom sits in making that contract conscious instead of assumed.
