'I've seen many parents and adult children grappling with these
issues, and this is exactly the book they have all been waiting
for.' - Lori Gottlieb Has your adult child cut off contact with
you? How can you heal the pain and start to build a bridge back to
them? Labelled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists
and researchers, estrangement is one of the most disorienting and
painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically
tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or
overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents.
However, the reasons for alienation are far more complex and
varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing
cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a
historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to
personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of
the lives of their adult children and grandchildren. As a trusted
psychologist whose own daughter cut off contact for several years
and eventually reconciled, Dr Joshua Coleman is uniquely qualified
to guide parents in navigating these fraught interactions. He helps
to alleviate the ongoing feelings of shame, hurt, guilt, and sorrow
that commonly attend these dynamics. By placing estrangement into a
cultural context, Dr Coleman helps parents better understand the
mindset of their adult children and teaches them how to implement
the strategies for reconciliation and healing that he has seen work
in his forty years of practice. Rules of Estrangement gives parents
the language and the emotional tools to engage in meaningful
conversation with their child, the framework to cultivate a healthy
relationship moving forward, and the ability to move on if
reconciliation is no longer possible. While estrangement is a
complex and tender topic, Dr Coleman's insightful approach is based
on empathy and understanding for both the parent and the adult
child.
