What is stonewalling, and how would you know if someone is stonewalling you?

Stonewalling is a disturbing, damaging, and toxic pattern of disengagement that family members use.

In this episode, we will unpack:

✅ When a family member is stonewalling you, you are left feeling insignificant and emotionally abandoned.

✅ When you’re being stonewalled it feels like you’re being punished for some undisclosed thing you have unknowingly done.

✅ Because of the intense and unmanageable levels of frustration that results in you from being stonewalled, it makes staying in the relationship not worth it.

✅ It is deeply and incredibly harmful to your mental health and wellbeing to be on the other end of stonewalling.

✅ A family member who persistently stonewalls you removes the oxygen from relationship.

✅ How To’s and Boundaries to Set

Toxic family members will continue to stoke the patterns of emotional abuse and manipulative games through the use of hypocrisy.

In this episode, we will unpack:

✅ psychologically abusive family members are quick to tell you how you should act and what you did wrong, only to turn around and do the very things they just got mad at you for doing.

✅ When the same rules don’t apply to your family members that they apply to you, you are always left guessing as to what is next.

✅ Your family members thrive on having the power to make up rules as they go along, allowing them to gloat in the satisfaction of catching you breaking them.

✅ Your emotionally abusive family members absolutely know right from wrong – they love seeing how easy it is to make you believe you have an open goal to confront them, which is exactly what they want.

✅ Your attempts to make your family members “see the light” will inevitably fall short since they feel no need to listen, accommodate you, or work within your reasonable and fair parameters.

✅ Underlying reasons your toxic family members use the various methods of hypocritical emotional abuse.

✅ Impacts of hypocritical emotional abuse on the victim

✅ How To’s and Boundaries to Set

Not all generosity/altruism is necessarily good, especially when coming from a toxic family member.

In this episode, we are going to talk about the emotional game of “Toxic Giving” that toxic family members play.


✅ Most of you have that one family member who always presented as if they were happy to help you out of a jam, but who always did so with strings attached.

✅ These family members view themselves as having special “abilities” or “gifts” and expect you and all others to react to them as though they are the most caring, generous, people you know.

✅ Toxic givers have the audacity to view your openly accepting what they give as you taking advantage of them, yet when/if you refuse their gifts, they call you heartless.

✅ The emotional game of Toxic Giving/Generosity is built on dishonesty, hypocrisy and misrepresentation because these family members actually resent the same people they serve, and this includes you!

✅ Ironically, the closer you are to these family members, the more resentful they feel when giving or doing anything for you.

Next up in our series on emotional games our toxic family members play is the game of Denying- Minimizing-Justifying-Blaming.


✅ This emotional game is used to force you to give up your rightful position in any unfair circumstance your family has set against you.

✅ Negative Impacts of Denial.

✅ Misassumptions to avoid regarding the “denying behavior” of your family members

✅ To deny-minimize-justify-blame creates a relationship that will never become loving, caring, or healthy— the kind of relationship you are hoping for and deserve to have.

✅ Your family members who manipulate in these ways have zero regard for the ways they hurt you or for how this type of abuse negatively impacts their relationship with you.

✅ How To’s and Boundaries to Set
