Why do some parents claim they had no idea their adult child would cut them off? Discover the reasons behind this disconnect when adult children going no contact with their parents in this episode of "You're Not Crazy." I'm Torie Wiksell, your host and a seasoned therapist and coach, and today we unpack the complex dynamics that lead to family estrangement...particularly when parents, including those who are therapists, insist they were blindsided by their child's decision.
Join me as I share professional insights and personal experiences about the critical importance of parental accountability and how social media often reinforces unhealthy viewpoints among estranged parents. Learn why many adult children exhaust all avenues to maintain a healthy relationship before resorting to no contact, and understand the necessity for parents to reflect on their potential contributions to their child's distress. This episode challenges the victim narrative some parents create and emphasizes the need to prioritize a child’s experience in these complicated family relationships. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that will change how you view family estrangement.
