About this episode
What happens when we treat family as something we can choose and unchoose? According to author Noelle Mering, it is harmful to both parents and the adult child, but also society. Noelle explains why those swept up in this phenomenon can lose the ability to distinguish the dangerous from the difficult; they end up attacking indiscriminately what is in fact vital. A must-listen!
