About this listen
In this conversation, Jen and Trev explore the complexities of parenting, particularly in the context of alienation and blended families. They discuss the emotional challenges faced by parents, the importance of maintaining healthy relationships with children, and strategies for navigating difficult situations. The conversation emphasizes the need for patience, understanding, and the ability to focus on positive moments, or 'glimmers', amidst the challenges of parenting.
Takeaways:
- Focus on glimmers rather than triggers.
- Alienation can occur even in intact families.
- Healthy relationships take time and effort.
- Children may act as victims of manipulation.
- Set boundaries around technology use.
- Respond to alienation with non-emotional communication.
- Public rejection can be painful but must be managed.
- Continue to show up for your child despite challenges.
- Document feelings in a journal for emotional release.
- Parenting is about raising functional adults.
