Is it ever okay to step back from a parent? In this episode of Rise and Shine, Adrienne Gold Davis explores one of the most painful and least-discussed questions in Jewish family life: what to do when a relationship with a parent becomes harmful. Drawing on Bowen Family Systems Theory alongside Jewish teaching on honoring parents, Adrienne unpacks why complete cutoff often isn't resolution so much as a quieter form of the same conflict, and why generational patterns repeat until someone chooses to interrupt them. She shares Jewish sources on the limits of the obligation to honor a parent, and makes the case that protecting your well-being and your children's well-being can itself be an act of honor, not a betrayal of it.
