About this listen
Is your partner more emotionally committed to their parents than to you? In this eye-opening episode of That’s Not OK: Spot the Red Flags, Reclaim Your Love Life, host Alyssa exposes the rarely discussed but deeply damaging dynamic of enmeshment—a toxic family system where love is conditional, boundaries are blurred, and your partner’s identity is consumed by their parent-child role.
You’ll learn:
• What enmeshment really is (and why it’s not love)
• The three toxic child roles in enmeshed families: golden child, scapegoat, and forgotten child
• Why you feel like a third wheel in your own relationship
• How emotional fusion, guilt, and control replace true closeness
• What change actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not lip service)
Whether you’re dating someone enmeshed with their family, trying to heal from this yourself, or just wondering why something always feels “off,” this episode is your red-flag decoder.
Listen now and learn how to spot emotional incest, stand up for your worth, and reclaim the love life you deserve.
