Episode 138: Why "I feel" Statements Don't Work on Toxic In-Laws

In this episode of the Catholic Wives with Toxic In-Laws Podcast, Miriam Susan explains why saying “I feel like you’re...” may give toxic in-laws an opportunity to dismiss your feelings and challenge your boundaries. She shares how to communicate more carefully, keep conversations concise, and bring your heart to God instead of people who are unwilling to receive it. Catholic wives facing difficult in-law relationships will find faith-based encouragement and practical guidance for seeking clarity, discernment, and peace.This podcast is the personal apostolic work of Miriam Susan, a Catholic laywoman and convert.
