At some point, if you’re estranged long enough, something will come up that will make you wonder, “Is it okay to contact him about this?”

This is not an easy decision for estranged parents. Especially if your child has asked you to reduce or eliminate contact for the time being, should you go against her wishes in special cases? And what constitutes a special case?

Reconnection Club members sometimes talk about contacting their children "only when necessary." We've got a flowchart in our library with suggested paths for making that decision. However, Tina walks you through the basics here.

This episode looks at two types of events – happy/scheduled and unhappy/sudden. You’ll find out whether and how to communicate with your child about each of these.
