My own mother did the job. But in addition, a therapist was consulted to confirm it was naturally all the parents' fault. 🤦

No. Pure greed did that! So glad it turned out the way it did! The individual deserves all he created! 🤣💪

I'm suspicious that could have something to do with it. My son had been dating a therapist in the months preceding our estrangement. To be clear, she was not his therapist, but...

I find it helpful to seek to understand my parent’s lives to better understand their behavior while raising me. The Millennial and younger generations have research, language, and therapy options that simply did not exist for older generations. It’s as much my responsibility to understand them as it is for them to understand me. More so for me, as I’ve sought out these tools. Their lived experience told them that was weakness. I can’t show them a new way if I break contact. It’s challenging, but I can’t expect them to seek to understand me if I don’t seek to understand them.

Thank you for what you are doing. This estrangement has dominated my life for over 4 years. I'm so traumatized. Broken hearted lost. But hearing you tonight helped. You took the words out of my mouth. Please keep going I am so grateful I found you.

No professional therapy. Unfortunately lots of influence from friends who were greatly inexperienced in relationships. If my son would have come to me, maybe we could have worked thru it.

No therapy -but I could see where toxic therapy would play a role in separation , if I understand what you mean by it !

I know my daughter uses a lot of “alternative facts” that have no bearing on reality, and I also believe she has been influenced by friends and social media to decide to become estranged. She’s an adult making her own choices, she can live with them.

It doesn’t always have to be professional therapy. It is online and social and philosophies that promote the cutting off, contention and contempt for parents and families.
