We spend a lot of time talking about the person who decides to go no contact, and much less about everyone else who ends up living with that decision. In this Q&A episode, Whitney answers a woman in her 30s who inherited and is now dealing with the consequences of her mother's estrangement from her side of the family. Second, a listener six months no contact with an abusive mother, asking the question: who is responsible for her now? In this episode, you'll learn: - How to build your own relationships without betraying a parent's decision to go no contact - Scripts for handling the question \"how's your mom?\" without becoming the family messenger - How to separate compassion from obligation with a parent in crisis Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.
