147. When to Stop Trying to Reconnect


Listen Later

Many parents exhaust themselves trying in vain to reconnect with their estranged adult child or children.

While some keep struggling to come up with new things to try, others succumb to despair and begin to believe the situation is hopeless.

In both cases, the question may arise: When is the right time to stop trying?

This is one of the saddest questions for unwillingly estranged parents. But whether it arises from despair or sheer exhaustion, the question deserves an answer.

In this episode, Tina offers a sensible response to parents who are wondering whether it’s time to give up.

Even if you’re in the unenviable position of being unwilling estranged, and all out of ideas, you’ll find the words in this episode to be as uplifting as they are informative.

For ideas on how to repair your parent-adult child relationship, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
