Not every parent whose adult child goes no contact feels like hiding it from friends and acquaintances. But many parents do.

If you feel uncomfortable sharing the fact of your adult child(ren)'s estrangement, you might identify with the Reconnection Club member whose words Tina shares in this forum-inspired episode.

If you fear the judgement of others, could it be that you've been judging yourself? If so, how can you overcome the quiet embarrassment that keeps you from living out loud?

Listen to the words of a Reconnection Club member who wrestled with this very question in our forums. And won.

For much more about how to deal with estrangement by your adult child(ren) read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
