#219 - When Your Partner Can’t See Their Family’s Dysfunction

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!

This episode dives into one of the hardest issues couples face in recovery: toxic family dynamics. Is your spouse enabled by their family, are they kept under control or in the family system because of wealth? This one's for you.

We’re talking about the emotional chaos that comes when one partner sees the dysfunction and the other doesn’t. We cover enmeshment, financial control, emotional immaturity, and how families can unknowingly (or intentionally) keep someone sick.

We share real experiences navigating these situations in our own marriage and offer insight for spouses who feel unsupported, invalidated, or stuck in the middle. You’ll learn why boundaries matter, what to expect when you start setting them, and why some of the biggest fights in marriage have nothing to do with your partner, but everything to do with the family they came from.

If you’ve ever felt like the only one who sees the problem, this one’s for you.
