Summary
Parents whose adult children have cut off contact wonder: How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? What happened to my loving child? Over time, holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of grandchildren may pass in silence. Anguish may turn into anger.
While time, in and of itself, does not necessarily heal, actions do, and while every estrangement includes situation-specific variables, there are practical, effective, and universal techniques for understanding and healing these not-uncommon breaches. Tina Gilbertson has developed these techniques and tools over years of face-to-face and online work with parents who have found her strategies transformative and even life changing.
Gilbertson cuts through the blame, shame, and guilt on both sides of the broken relationship. Parents will feel heard and understood but also challenged-and guided-to reclaim their role as "tone setter" and grow psychologically. Exercises, examples, and even sample scripts empower parents who have felt powerless. Gilbertson shows that reconciliation is a step-by-step process, but the effort is well worth it. It is never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds.

Clarity, kindness, neutrality, professionalism
Amazing book on the topic (I went through other authors and they were terrible, resentful and mostly stronly biased). Tina is true professional and this book is equally great for the children of the parents as it helps to understand parents' responses, behaviour, and also clarify children's own needs and put them into assertive words. It's also a great guide for dealing with any relationships in one's life in a constructive, empowering and wise way, so that they're satisfying. I'd say anybody who wants to become a parent and is concerned about passing their trauma onto their children could get a great guidance from this book on how to navigate being a parent in this context. 100% recommended!

Given me Hope
I loved this book. It has given me hope and tools and techniques to reconnect with my Adult child and also given me a completely new perspective. If there could be a rule book on parenting prior to having kids I would recommend this!

Good guidance - like NVC
Lots in common with Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life, by Marshall Rosenberg. That’s a good thing, btw.

Constructive and helpful
This book is absolutely excellent. It has helped to understand, to forgive and to feel calmer, as well as giving me more hope for the future.
