Joseph brigandi, clinical director

Did the generation that grew up afraid of their parents end up being the generation that’s now afraid of being estranged from their children? Experts report that we may be in an epidemic of parental estrangement. Recent studies report 26% of adults are estranged from one or both parents.

PARENTAL ESTRANGEMENT
Thoughts from people who have been through estrangement and survived.
I think there is a time that you just have to let it go, and accept the fact that things are the way they are. There are a lot of terrible mothers who have devoted children. Then there are those mothers whose children want nothing to do with them, even though they have been the most loving and nurturing mothers. Sometimes, they will come back to you, and other times not. With regards to the grandchildren, they will be adults one day, and their parents will not have the same control over them. There is no shame in not having your adult child not wanting to be in your life. My friend’s daughter has cut ties with her, and she just tells the truth if people ask where she is. You can’t make someone be who you want, and you can’t make someone want to love you, or be in your life. Love the people that love you.
