195. Letting Them Go In Your Heart


Listen Later

Parents have various ways to cope with the pain of prolonged estrangement from their adult children. One of them is to find a way to let their children go, with love, in their hearts.

Letting an adult child go can bring a measure of relief to those who are able to do it. They may feel more peaceful and less sad.

It's relatively easy to let go of someone in silence. But what happens if they suddenly contact you?

Reconnection Club Podcast host Tina Gilbertson speaks to parents having just that experience. They're caught in a dilemma between silence and peace on the one hand, and undependable contact on the other.

In this illuminating episode, Tina suggests leaning in to this dilemma as a first step to finding your way past it.

For more on relationships between parents and adult children, including what goes wrong and how parents can respond effectively, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
