9. How to Stay Positive When You're Estranged


Listen Later

It's incredibly sad and distressing to be estranged from your adult child or children. Yet a positive attitude can make life more manageable, no matter what’s going on.

Being more positive is good for both mental and physical health. But adopting such an attitude is so much easier said than done, when you're estranged from your own child!

In this episode, Tina shares a couple of actions you can put into practice today to stay more positive, even while you’re estranged from your adult daughter or son.
