Statements like, “we are a close linked family”, “my mom is my best friend”, “my dad advises me on everything”, “my siblings have to know everything about me” , “she is my ride or die” need some deeper evaluation.

Many of us confuse enmeshment with closeness. The difference is that closeness has clear boundaries and enmeshment has none. Everyone is in each other’s business and there is an insidious element of control.
The tricky thing about enmeshment is it doesn’t show up as harm. It shows up as love, as loyalty, as support and that’s why it’s so hard to see. Enmeshment is when there is no clear boundary as to where one person ends and the other begins.
It’s a loving mother meddling in her son’s relationships in the name of love, a caring father paying for his married daughter’s expenses and dictating how her household runs, it’s siblings getting involved in each other’s lives in a way that diminishes individual autonomy.
This Saturday, SublimeFlow Jacinta and I are unpacking one of the most misunderstood dynamics affecting families, friendships, marriages, and parent-child relationships.
