Covert Incest: When You Aren’t Your Mother’s Boyfriend

PODCAST

I attended Dr. Adams’ seminar on enmeshment… To say it changed my life is an understatement. My dysfunctional parents, specifically my mother, had raised me via guilt…and unwanted intimacy. I left the seminar feeling finally free. If you’re considering attending, please go. It’s the best investment in myself I’ve ever made. Thank you Dr. Adams! -Dave

How Can I Still Love My Son or Daughter and Not Be Over Involved?

Enmeshing your son or daughter often leads to them feeling responsible for your happiness and well-being. They may feel intruded on, controlled, or invaded. As a parent, it is important that you have sense of purpose separate from your children.
