Finding your way forward through complicated family dynamics...
Family relationships can be challenging. Sometimes they leave us confused, questioning ourselves, carrying guilt, or feeling responsible for things that were never ours to carry. Untangled is a place to explore those experiences with kindness and without judgment, and to learn from others, share your story, and begin finding your way forward.
You are allowed to step away from what no longer feels healthy. You are allowed to find your own voice. And you don't have to do it alone.
Parental Alienation
Occurs when a child’s relationship with a parent is undermined through manipulation, pressure, or ongoing family conflict, often leading the child to reject or distance themselves from that parent.
Narcissistic Parents
These parents often place their own needs, emotions, and desire for control above their child’s emotional well-being. Their behavior can leave children feeling responsible, unheard, confused, or as though they must earn love and approval.
Enmeshment
Happens when family boundaries become blurred, making it difficult to separate your own feelings, needs, and identity from those of a parent or family member. It can leave you feeling responsible for others while struggling to create healthy independence and boundaries.
