About this listen

In this episode of The Red Disc Podcast, we unpack a complex Reddit story about a mother’s conflict with her daughter over custody arrangements and financial support. The daughter, claiming her ex-husband is abusive, moves to another state with a new boyfriend, leaving her child behind with the ex-husband despite their 50/50 custody agreement. When the mother withdraws financial assistance, tensions erupt, sparking a heated debate.

Join us as we explore the layers of this story, from the challenges of supporting adult children to the complexities of domestic abuse and its impact on decision-making. We’ll also discuss the role of accountability, tough love, and the difficult balance between helping and enabling.
