Parent/child estrangement has become increasingly more prevalent and it is such a complicated topic. It seems the general consensus is that the parent MUST be the party to blame and often, that is true. What if we looked at everything that contributes to estrangement and tried to understand the complexities. I think this therapist has some objective ideas about considering the problem holistically which better allows for understanding. We all play our part but I believe that ultimately, love can conquer all🩷🩷

Forgiveness literally means to fore-give, to give as you did before the hurtful action, betrayal or wrong doing. I understand that this isn’t always authentically possible but letting go can be a way to move past it with a new definition of the relationship. Trust, once lost, is almost impossible to recover in the uncontaminated way it did before. It is one of life’s great tradgedies.
