My Estranged Adult Child Won't Talk To Me Anymore (Coping With Grief) | Ep.81

Is your adult child not talking to you anymore? In this video, we discuss some things that may be going on with your adult child and how to cope with the grief.

Estrangement is the widespread and stigmatized condition describing cutting off one family member from one or more family members. Estrangement can be total cutting ties with no contact or little contact with emotional distancing. When an adult child cuts ties with one or both parents, they choose to disconnect from a relationship they believe is unmanageable.

Historically, toxic and abusive relationships between parents and adult child behaviors inflict unsustainable harm. Over time the adult child struggles with maintaining contact, especially when conflict is persistent. Often a monumental event precedes the cut-off; however, the adult child’s decision to cut off did not occur suddenly or without angst. Emotional and physical distancing comes out of a need to self-preserve.

DISCLAIMERS:

ESTRANGEMENT AND ABUSE: When considering the possibility of reconciling with an emotionally and or physically abusive great care is required. Reconciling may only be possible if the abuser is willing to work with a family therapist. When there is abuse, individuals estrange out of necessity and self-preservation. Consider if it is safe to resume a relationship with an abusive family member without evidence that the abuser has changed or takes responsibility for their harmful actions.
