If you grew up in an authoritarian household where you felt powerless, and nobody acknowledged or allowed you to show your feelings, this is for you.
It’s hard to embody the strong leadership your kids need when you have trauma in this area. As a therapist and coach I’ve seen hundreds of my clients swing so far in the opposite direction from what their parents did that they never developed the confidence to set a firm boundary.
Great parents know they need to be in charge of decision making, and that they can’t pass this off on their kids. Remember you get to choose what kind of parent you are. You don’t have to do it like your parents did. Just because they were harsh when they set a limit doesn’t mean you have to be.
If you want help with this comment “help” below and I’ll send you a free resource.
Rooting for you,
