Listen "Living Without Fear - I Still Love Him - But I Choose Me | With Esther Buerki"
Episode Synopsis
A few days ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: I stopped visiting my 90-year-old father every week. Not because I don’t love him. But because I love myself enough now to protect my peace.For years, I carried the hope that our relationship would become warmer, kinder—like the one I was blessed to have with my mother before she passed away. I showed up, I listened, I gave love… but all I received back were complaints, coldness, and criticism. It broke my heart, week after week.So, after deep reflection, I chose to set a boundary. And when he might ask why I come less often, I’ll simply say: “I’m taking care of my own energy.”No guilt. No long explanations. Just self-respect and love.In this week’s podcast episode, I’m opening my heart to you. I’m sharing how I overcame my guilt, how I broke free from the role of the “good daughter,” and how you, too, can set boundaries with family—with love, not anger.If you’ve ever felt emotionally drained by a parent or a loved one… If you’ve tried to be everything for everyone while slowly forgetting yourself… This episode is for you.BOOKS:📕 Read LIVING WITHOUT FEAR (Biography & Self-Help Book):http://www.livingwithoutfear.ch📕 Buy INSPIRED JOURNEYS (Amazon Bestseller): Go to Amazon 👉 search for Esther Buerki 👉 find INSPIRED JOURNEYSAre you in Switzerland or Germany?
