In this bold and honest video, Vijender Sir opens up a sensitive but urgent conversation: 👉 What happens when your biggest emotional battles are with your own parents?

In this episode, we explore: • What toxic parenting really looks like in the Indian context • Why emotional boundaries matter—even within families • The difference between guidance and control • The cultural conditioning that glorifies suffering in the name of “respect” • Practical ways to protect your mental health while navigating strained relationships 🧠 This isn’t just a rant.
