Episode 59: The Five Roles Every Caregiving Family Falls Into.

In this episode, I break down the five family roles that show up in almost every caregiving situation and why the same arguments keep happening over and over again. From the responsible one to the disappearing sibling, the critic, the peacemaker, and the dependent child, I explain how these patterns shape family dynamics when a parent starts needing care. You'll learn how childhood roles quietly resurface in adulthood, why caregiving tension feels so personal, and what it actually takes to change the system. This conversation will help you stop fighting the people around you and start understanding the patterns driving the conflict.
