Description
This book helps parents work through the pain, shame, and sense of loss that can come when their relationship with their older or adult child hasn't turned out as they hoped. Despite their best efforts, some parents may lose the opportunity to be the parent they want to be, and must come to terms with the loss of a harmonious relationship.
Through healing exercises and case examples, Dr. Joshua Coleman offers guidance on how to reduce anger, guilt, and shame, and how to develop strategies for maintaining self-esteem during difficult times. He also explores how societal expectations can contribute to the risk of parental wounds, and how parents can learn to let go of what they cannot control.
By helping parents recognize what they can do to improve their relationships, and how to cope with the challenges that come with parenting an adult child, this book aims to help families develop more positive ways of relating to themselves and each other.
