About this ebook

There are many books and articles written on how to reconcile. They offer information as to how the broken parent should speak to promote healing. But what if your adult child refuses to engage? The alternative option is to move on and let go. But healing the wound of adult child estrangement is messy and complicated. There are good days and bad. Christine shares the reality of the work it takes to see the forest for the trees. This book goes deep into the life of the author, and how it feels to be silenced as a mother. It describes how she finds purpose on this path unchosen, and her gain in emotional intelligence.   

  

Readers Say:  

  

I cried my eyes out reading this because it’s raw, and has huge meaning. 

  

I feel like you are writing my words in my brain. 

  

Thank you for sharing your gift of writing and giving voice to this thing called estrangement, Christine.  

  

This resonates deeply. Sad. Angry. Accepting waves of ambiguous grief. 

  

It helps to know I am not alone with these “family” issues. 

  

Hugs to all of us healing parents trying to find the coping mechanisms to get through this ugly journey. Thank you, Christine.
