Hope in the Night 8-15-2024 Codependancy
Teresa feels trapped in a codependent relationship with her younger daughter, who is 48. Despite Teresa's financial support for her daughter’s college education and car, her daughter continues to demand more, exhibiting entitlement and manipulation. Teresa has chosen to detach from her daughter due to her disrespectful behavior and boundary violations. June acknowledges Teresa's compassionate nature but highlights that this has led to a sense of entitlement from her daughter. June advises Teresa to set boundaries and assertively say "no" to requests without feeling guilty, citing Galatians 1:10 to emphasize that pleasing God should take precedence over pleasing others. June also warns against being controlled by others and suggests that God will provide peace when handling such situations.
