Accurate. Thanks again Steven, your logical framework provides for a quality response to dominant culture's insanity promoting the destruction of families.

This has been the hardest thing to happen to me and I have been through plenty. I fully intend to stay true to my principles and values while forgiving my son and moving on......

This article presents a one-sided, dismissive view of estranged adult children, portraying them as overly sensitive while ignoring the painful, often valid reasons for estrangement. It assumes reconciliation is always ideal, disregarding cases of abuse and the courage it takes to set boundaries. I’ve analyzed estranged parent groups, and they are the true echo chambers, filled with self-pity, blame-shifting, and outright hostility toward their children. Instead of acknowledging the complexity of family dynamics, this piece shifts blame onto those who have already suffered harm. The lack of nuance and empathy is honestly disgusting.
