Session 35: Calling Crissle

This week, Crissle is taking your live calls and helping listeners navigate difficult relationships with parents and friendships that may have reached their breaking point. One caller is struggling to repair her relationship with her mother after discovering she ignored her calls on Mother's Day to secretly visit her husband in jail. Another caller recently cut off her mother after years of financial and emotional strain. While our final caller is questioning whether to reconnect with a former best friend after a painful falling out. Throughout the episode, Crissle discusses communicating difficult emotions with parents and setting healthy boundaries. She also explores how to recognize which relationships add value to your life and which ones may be time to let go. Crissle shares how writing a letter to a parent can be a powerful way to express years of hurt, create space for honest communication, and begin moving forward. She also explains how emotionally immature parents can leave lasting wounds that carry into adulthood. Want to talk to Crissle on a future episode?
