The Accountability Gap: When Filipino Parents Never Say Sorry
Season 3 Episode 5
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the complex dynamics of Filipino family relationships, exploring the often-overlooked issue of parental accountability. Through personal stories and cultural analysis, we examine how traditional values like respeto, utang na loob, and hiya can create an imbalance where parents are always right and children are always wrong—even into adulthood. We'll discuss the psychological impact of this dynamic, the rise of adult children cutting ties with toxic parents, and why genuine accountability must flow both ways. From failed relationships to poor life choices, we explore how parental guidance (or lack thereof) shapes outcomes, and challenge the notion that estrangement is always the child's fault. This episode isn't just about pointing fingers—it's about creating space for healthier, more balanced family relationships that honour both tradition and individual growth.
