In this week’s Friday Coaching Corner, I respond to a listener who’s six years post–custody loss and doing her best to stay connected with her teen daughter—while being accused of crossing boundaries and “embarrassing” her.
This mom wonders: “Am I doing okay? Or am I being walked over by my child and my ex?”
It’s a question many protective parents ask themselves when trying to balance compassion, boundaries, and the constant pressure to appear “perfect” under the court’s microscope.
In this episode, I explore:
- What it means to show unconditional love without losing your footing.
- How to reframe communication to focus on love, connection, and curiosity instead of control.
- The difference between compassionate boundaries and compliance.
- How to handle teens who use “therapy language” to push back or deflect.
- Why you can (and should) stop caring what outsiders think.
- Hope for parents who’ve lost time with their kids—how consistent, grounded love can bring them back in the long run.
This episode is for every parent who’s been told they’re “too soft,” when in reality, they’re showing incredible restraint and resilience in the face of impossible systems and emotionally complex parenting.
