Parents whose adult children have cut off contact wonder: How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? What happened to my loving child? Over time, holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of grandchildren may pass in silence. Anguish may turn into anger.

While time, in and of itself, does not necessarily heal, actions do, and while every estrangement includes situation-specific variables, there are practical, effective, and universal techniques for understanding and healing these not-uncommon breaches. Tina Gilbertson has developed these techniques and tools over years of face-to-face and online work with parents who have found her strategies transformative and even life changing.

Gilbertson cuts through the blame, shame, and guilt on both sides of the broken relationship. Parents will feel heard and understood but also challenged-and guided-to reclaim their role as "tone setter" and grow psychologically. Exercises, examples, and even sample scripts empower parents who have felt powerless. Gilbertson shows that reconciliation is a step-by-step process, but the effort is well worth it. It is never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds.

I recommend this book to parents whose adult children hesitate to or do not have contact with them, but also to all parents and to all adult children. Rarely have I read a more helpful introduction to parent and child roles, every humans psychological needs and struggles, plus practical steps one can take to better both one's own well-being and that of one's relationships. What an important contribution the author makes, with the book and with her YouTube channel too.

Before I comment on the book I want to mention the narrator. Colleen Marlo is beyond praise. Her voicing adds a lot to the book and nobody could have done it better. The book also teaches how to be more mature with more courage. I was of the school of "Maybe I was a bit too harsh but he knows I love him.." Wrong and Tina explains why. The book is very well written, covers everything and is very down too earth. If you have a friend lamenting an estrangement this could make a much valued gift. But as Tina would say, first query your friend to get permission for the gift. Superb. I will listen again.
