Steven, you continue to offer education and deep insight into this pandemic of disconnection that we, parents of estranged adult-children, are facing. Thank you for deepening my understanding of the complexity of this situation.
Thank you for this series. I appreciate your thoroughness in covering the different angles. I would recommend the book, “Bad Therapy” by Abigail Shrier. I found it very helpful in understanding the therapy soaked culture from which Estrangement Ideology has sprung.
This is sooo good. I facilitate writing workshops with women (some men) on family/ancestral stories in which I encourage them to write the history of the family. It's amazing what a little bit of historical/cultural context can do to help writers develop a more considered, nuanced way of seeing their own experiences and understand how reductive theories (Estrangement Ideology) can impair understanding and potential acceptance that they--like their parents--are quite human. Thank you so much for this piece!
