Content note: This episode discusses emotional abuse, gaslighting, and the cumulative impact of “small” harms. Please listen with care. If you’re in the US or Canada and need support, call or text 988.What breaks you isn’t always a hurricane. Sometimes it’s a drip—quiet, steady, waved off as “not a big deal.” In this episode of ReMothered, Lori traces the micro-moments that soaked the floorboards: minimizations, reality edits, the “jokes” that weren’t jokes. This isn’t about blame; it’s about finally naming the pattern so you can stop living under a swollen ceiling. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” this one hands you the flashlight and points it at the slow leak.

💬 Topics: micro-aggressions and “small” harms, gaslighting and minimization, boundary nicks, parentification/enmeshment, nervous-system fatigue, remothering practices, trauma recovery.

What happens when a child becomes the confidant of their parent?

In this episode of Remothered, Lori returns to a cold winter morning in her childhood — a day in an old wood shed where her father shared a secret no eight-year-old should have to carry. That moment would shape decades of emotional caretaking, silence, and survival.

Through the lens of parentification and Internal Family Systems therapy, Lori explores what happens when the boundaries between parent and child collapse — and what it takes to rebuild them in adulthood.

This is not a story of blame, but of recognition: of the child who held too much, the adult who learned to set it down, and the healing that comes when silence finally breaks.

If you’ve ever carried your family’s secrets, this one’s for you.

💬 Topics: parentification, emotional caretaking, healing the inner child, boundaries, trauma recovery.

What happens when a child’s cry for comfort is met with anger instead of care?

In this episode, I reflect on an early lesson that shaped how I carried pain—my own, and my mother’s—and share a letter to little Lori reminding her that her feelings were always valid.
