About this listen
Send us a text
What do you do when your mom calls from the nursing home and says she’s being held hostage by her ex-boyfriend from 15 years ago?
In this episode, I talk about the stage of caregiving no one prepares you for:
👉 the daily phone calls
👉 the delusions
👉 and the emotional whiplash of comforting someone inside a reality you can’t share.
I also talk about what it feels like to become your parent’s emotional anchor—and the strange comfort that comes from being the person they call, even when they don’t know exactly where they are.
If you’ve ever taken a deep breath before answering the phone… this one’s for you.
