Are They Really Sorry? The Empty Apology Trap
Description
Is your toxic parent’s “I’m sorry” leaving you more confused than comforted? In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, we unpack why apologies from narcissistic or otherwise toxic parents rarely feel like closure—and often reopen old wounds.
You’ll learn:
- The signs of a real apology (and what performative regret looks like)
- How to stop spiraling when they say “sorry” but nothing changes
- A mindset shift that will help you decide whether or not to forgive
If you’ve ever thought “maybe I’m being too harsh…” this episode is the clarity you’ve been needing.
