In this episode, Armand DiMele explores the concept of triangulation within family dynamics, particularly how children often become caught between parental conflicts. He discusses the psychological implications of this behavior, including the roles of good and bad parents, and how these dynamics can affect adult relationships. Through listener calls, the conversation delves into personal experiences of triangulation, the challenges of familial loyalty, and the importance of recognizing one’s own role in these patterns. Armand emphasizes the need for awareness and self-reflection to break free from these cycles.
