THIS week, Dr Joel addresses emails from Eddie and Jacinta on love, toxic relationships, and making some seriously difficult decisions.

How does one navigate a long-term relationship that has soured? When one party is unwilling to see their contribution to the breakdown of a relationship, how can you encourage open and honest discussion? What makes some relationships worth saving, and some not?

Caregiving is something that most often falls on the shoulders of adult children. And when tough decisions need to be made, how much should your head overrule your heart, your filial obligations and the unrelenting comments from close relatives?

How do you not second guess yourself in the chaos of differing opinions and make the best choices for your loved one – and be at peace with that?

Dr Joel answers these questions and more. – The Vibes, July 11, 2022
