In this video, we discuss how to handle this situation and I discuss why I think pushing for alone time with a child can be a red flag.

It never fails that when I talk about boundaries I get the comment "this is why you guys don't have a village" or "don't push away your village". In this episode, I touch on why I don't think boundaries will push your village away. I also discuss the concept of a village and why it can't coexist with toxic family.
