Feels like these estrangement forums are some sort of cult.

We teach our children to be kind. They now think that they are being kind to themselves by expecting pure emotional safety in all relationships. Anything else is abusive.

Yes, online communities have undermined parent-child relationships, but I feel that the greatest damage has been done by 'new thought' therapists who counsel that any criticism/uncomfortable dialogue is abuse. If somehow some of these therapists could change their approach, then reconciliation could be possible.
