Divided Loyalties: When Parents Pull Children Into Marital Conflict
In this episode of Heal with Kimile, Kimile Pendleton shares a story of a family unravelling as a husband and daughters gang up on the wife and he undermines her position in the family.
Kimile explores why parents often unconsciously recruit children as allies during marital strife, the devastating emotional toll this takes on young psyches, and how these patterns echo through generations. She offers compassionate insight for parents recognizing themselves in this story - not to shame, but to illuminate a path forward. Through this cautionary tale, listeners will learn how to establish healthy boundaries, protect their children from adult problems, and find appropriate outlets for marital frustrations without sacrificing family unity.
This episode isn't about taking sides in a marriage - it's about protecting the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. For any parent who's ever been tempted to share too much with their children, or felt the sting of being excluded from their own family circle, Kimile provides both warning and wisdom.
The greatest gift you can give your children is a childhood free from adult burdens. Tune in to learn how to keep your marital conflicts where they belong - between the adults.
