The Estranged Heart

EP199: When Their Version of You Hurts


Listen Later

In this episode of the Estranged Heart podcast, Kreed discusses the complexities of estrangement, particularly focusing on the narratives that estranged adult children create about their parents. The conversation delves into the emotional pain that arises from feeling misrepresented and the challenges parents face when their children share skewed versions of their stories with others. Kreed emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one's own truth while also recognizing the validity of the estranged child's perspective. The episode also touches on the grief associated with being misunderstood and the necessity of processing that grief without justification. Ultimately, it encourages parents to navigate these difficult relationships with compassion, integrity, and an open heart.



TAKEAWAYS

  • Emotional dysregulation can distort narratives in estrangement.

  • It's important to acknowledge your truth without attacking theirs.

  • Coexisting truths can exist without one being wrong.

  • Leading with integrity can be a powerful defense.

  • Time and healing can shift perspectives over time.
