Summary A meaningful and supportive guide to rebuilding family relationships and dealing with the pain of estrangement.
Estrangement or partial estrangement between adult sons or daughters and their parents can mean angry silences and the pain of missing the relationship they once shared. McCoy provides new exploration of estrangement, with practical insights focused on what both parents and adult children can do to take those first steps toward healing.
