Transcripts
social media has really popularized the
saying mommy issues and daddy issues and
people throw it around as a joke but I
think you and I can both agree how real
mommy and daddy issues are and sometimes
we do use humor as a way to make topics
like these easier to deal with and
easier to talk about but with that said
I think it's also important to really
explore these topics to understand what
contemplates as daddy and mommy issues
so that we don't just joke about it but
we can act actually learn to deal with
it and level up from it welcome back to
the Arro Playbook today we'll be
discussing the effects of Mommy and
Daddy Issues first things first what
constitutes as Mommy and Daddy Issues by
definition they refer to unresolved
emotional wounds that stem from our
relationships with our parents typically
during childhood and these issues when
left unresolved will manifest in
adulthood which then affects our
behaviors self-esteem and in our
relationships for example dads who are
physically absent or emotionally distant
can lead to a child feeling neglected or
abandoned which manifests as seeking
validation or attention from male
figures in adulthood through unhealthy
or even a very imbalanced romantic
relationship a mom who is neglectful or
emotionally unavailable can lead to a
deep sense of rejection and unworthiness
which can manifest in having really
difficult times forming healthy bonds
with other people where there is a fear
of intimacy and inability to form
healthy attachment styles that who were
overly critical controlling or even
authoritative can cause lower
self-esteem or a constant need to get
approval which may manifest in people
having people pleasing Behavior a fear
of failure or difficulty establishing
boundaries with men moms who push your
children to be perfect and Achieve high
levels of success really influences the
child's struggle with perfectionism
growing up leading to burnout in
feelings of never being quote unquote
good enough there are many many ways
that our overall upbringing and our
relationship with our parents
influencing our attachment Styles our
self-esteem ability to trust and set
healthy boundaries and how we manage
rejection or fear abandonment generally
speaking moms teach us daughters who to
be whereas d s teach us what to look for
in a man that is why we may find
ourselves replicating a lot of the
behaviors that our moms exhibit and find
ourselves in relationships and or
looking for partners that mirror that
Dynamic that you have with your dad we
can generally say the opposite is true
for men fathers teach their sons what
kind of man to become and moms teach and
influence Sons what to expect and look
for in a woman I definitely noticed this
pattern in myself where I find myself
normalizing in and even adopting some of
the behaviors that my mom had growing up
my mom really did the most and it seemed
like it was something that she was used
to doing and maybe because she was the
eldest daughter in her family and so for
her this was very normal and at times it
even seemed like she took a lot of pride
in how much she could actually shoulder
but her problem was that she never asked
for help and would hold everything in
until she would blow up at the tiniest
things and I think a part of her felt
like she may have wanted the help but
she feared that if she were to
communicate that she needed help it
would mean that she would be inadequate
mother or a bad wife which obviously is
not true everyone needs help but I
really took on this trait where I would
hold a lot of my thoughts and emotions
in until I blow up and I would think
that if I were to communicate how upset
I was even over something that is very
very valid it would mean that I was not
appreciative and grateful and therefore
I was a bad daughter a bad sister a bad
friend or a bad partner as for my dad I
felt like I dated guys that I would take
care of my parents were immigrants and
so for those first generation families
maybe you can relate to this as well but
it really felt like we had to do a lot
of the Translating and it felt like we
had to grow up very fast because we were
someone that our parents could rely on
to share responsibilities but this
really hindered my relationship with my
dad because whenever I asked for help
he'd brush it off and told me to figure
it out because I was the most educated
in the family but what kind of
10-year-old knows how to read contracts
because they took a couple of English
classes right and this really manifested
into me believing that my dad isn't
reliable and if I needed something done
I needed to figure it out myself or that
I can only trust myself and so I really
took on that trait of hyper Independence
I manifested almost an avoidant
attachment Style with the partners that
I chose where I was allowed to take care
of them but I didn't want them to take
care of me because I just did not have
that level of trust and I also felt like
if it was only one way I somehow had the
upper hand and boy oh boy can you see
how unhealthy that is when we recognize
certain behaviors that we know just
aren't right often times we can take a
look back at our childhood to provide us
insight and clues as to how these
patterns were developed try to make
sense of it and figure out what it means
to provide you that sense of reassurance
to know that you just sit the best that
you can to protect yourself and feel
safe but moving forward understand where
you need to set certain boundaries you
owe it to yourself to live a life where
you can feel safe and you can be happy
recognize that you have the power to
reshape your belief to be the person
that you want to be and to find the
partner that best fits the relationship
that you want to be in I remember the
story of two brothers who grew up with
an alcoholic father one son grew up to
be an alcoholic himself and the other
mother grew up never touching a single
drink both because they witnessed their
father being an alcoholic and I love
this story so much because it really
highlights the fact that just because
your parents were one way it doesn't
mean your relationship with others and
to yourself has to be that way also yes
your parents May influence who you are
but it does not have to Define you you
can make that decision for yourself
because you define you take pride in who
you are and the partner you choose just
like it affected you don't let it affect
your next Generation you have the power
to decide that you will be the one to
break the cycle I also believe that
having a good group of friends is so
helpful because it exposes us to
different relationship Dynamics their
relationship with their partners and
their relationship with their parents
there's a lot you can learn if you just
pay attention sometimes we accept
certain behaviors that may even be toxic
because that is all we know but when you
observe different relationship Dynamics
you gain better insight and therefore
can better form your own standard for
what you want and what you deserve so if
you have a good group of friends take a
moment to look at their relationships
with the people they care about and see
if you can learn from it personally my
life really took a turn for the better
when I healed my relationship with my
parents I stopped blaming my mom for my
lack of communication skills because I
understood her better than anyone else
that she felt like she couldn't
communicate her needs because of the
pressure she puts on herself to be the
perfect Mom for me I also noticed the
quality of guys that I started dating
significantly got better as I healed my
relationship with my dad now I
understand that not everyone has that
luxury that everyone's situation is
different and there really are
situations where someone just isn't fit
to be a parent and just doesn't deserve
to be in our lives but I also want us to
acknowledge that parents aren't perfect
either they're figuring out this game of
life just like we are and so if you can
recognize that they really did try their
best for you then we need to give them
Grace as well but at the end of the day
that is your decision to make I hope
that this episode encourages you to take
a look at your relationships with your
parents and maybe bring awareness to
possible areas that may need healing at
the end of the day we are all someone's
son and daughter and our relationship
with our parents influen our
relationship with our friends and
romantic Partners I hope that by healing
whatever mommy and daddy issues that you
may have will put you on a path to
healthier relationships overall because
you deserve to have genuine
relationships that is loving and
nurturing and
supportive that's it for today thank you
so so much for tuning into another
episode I hope to see you in the next
one and in the meantime as always stay
hot bye
