Keeping the door open | how to not make things worse

In today’s show Duane starts off with the previous day’s caller who is struggling to repair his relationship with his 18 year old alienated son. Duane offers advice on how to keep the door open and to modify the approach to allow for communication. The reality is when things are not working you have to try something different. It is also very important to remember that we are not trying to convince ourselves but someone else so what may work for you may not work for them. We then get an update from a previous listener who is struggling with a toxic narcissistic “best friend”. Duane then takes a return caller who is still being denied access to their children but the judge in the case is starting to recognize where the problem is. Finally Duane talks bout the struggles of being overwhelmed and emotionally drained from all of this and how we have to persevere through all of this!
