    Can Grandparents be Toxic? (Bonus Episode)

    In this bonus episode, we are discussing a controversial topic - toxic grandparents.   ✅ Toxicity in a family doesn't leave anyone out regardless of a person's title or role in your life, and this can include grandparents. ✅  As a culture, we place importance on having an extended family, with grandparents being a big part of that. When grandparents are healthy, this makes sense. When grandparents are abusive, it does not make sense. ✅ When you cut off from your parents this will often  include protecting your children from the negative influence of their grandparents. ✅ Not all grandparents are created equal and too often grandparents are perceived as harmless elderly folks who love to spoil their grandkids. ✅ How To's and Boundaries to Set NOTE: If you are on the other side of this issue, please listen to Episode 19 on Toxic Adult Children.  My social media pages and podcast episodes are not open to a host of non-productive commentary around topics that you may not agree with. Please share your thoughts on your own social media pages, and be respectful and kind to the people who are trying to deal with the issue the current episode is addressing.
