Scenario

When parent-child relationships become emotionally addictive

My adult daughter and I have this enmeshed relationship where we're both addicted to being each other's primary emotional support, and it's preventing her from building healthy romantic relationships and me from moving on after my divorce. We both know it's not healthy but we're scared that creating boundaries means we'll lose the closeness we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A parent and adult child are struggling to differentiate between healthy love and enmeshment that serves their individual emotional addictions.
