To whom are we responsible? Are there things we shouldn\u2019t be responsible for? These are the questions I wish I had considered as I grew up. My responsibility contributed to much of my dysfunction now. Today, I have to unlearn being responsible for other people\u2019s emotions and various other things that I should not be held responsible for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, imagine if our kids never believe they are responsible for these kinds of things. What if they are never taught that they are responsible for other people\u2019s emotions? Can we still raise them to be conscious and responsible citizens who care for others?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what Kay Bruner and I discuss today. Kay is a therapist and former evangelical who has a lot of experience with over-functioning and codependency. I&#8217;ve asked her to join me in teasing out some of these nuances of what it means to be responsible.
