This month's topic: Creating various boundaries with parents

In this month's ALAAP episode, we discuss challenges on how to have difficult conversations with parents in our community. Our moderator, Tasnova, shares a personal struggle of how her future goals are different from what her parents want and this allows moderators, Naziat and Fairoz to discuss how to set boundaries with parents when it comes to having tough conversations. We discuss demands of marriage, plans of moving out, the benefit of setting physical boundaries, and ultimately having a good support system to have your back during this time. Not everyone will see eye to eye with you but that’s okay; believe in your own strengths and stand your ground in a healthy way.
