Parents Must Stop the Cycle of Abuse | Dr. Sherrie Campbell

Описание: Besties, if you’ve ever looked back and thought, “Why did that relationship feel like home, even when it hurt?” this episode is for you. Lindsay sits down with our new BFF, Dr. Sherrie Campbell to unpack the painful truth. When you come from low-effort families, inconsistency, emotional neglect, and chaos can feel familiar. That familiarity can pull you into intimate relationships that mirror your childhood wounds.

And when the relationship ends, the impact doesn’t. We talk about co-parenting after domestic abuse, high-conflict custody, and how control can continue through communication, schedules, and court. Dr. Sherrie shares practical, trauma-aware tools to help you break the cycle, set boundaries that hold, use low-drama communication strategies, and protect your peace while staying grounded as a parent.

In this episode, we cover:

Why “toxic” love feels familiar when you grew up in a low-effort family system
How childhood conditioning shapes adult attachment, tolerance, and red flags
Co-parenting after abuse, when communication becomes the new battlefield
Parallel parenting vs. co-parenting, choosing safety and stability
Gray rock and boundary scripts to stop feeding conflict
Documentation and pattern tracking for family court
Nervous system regulation when every message triggers anxiety
Rebuilding self-trust and breaking generational cycles
