If you’re considering family estrangement, it doesn’t happen overnight. There were probably countless times when your needs were ignored or disrespected. You’ve probably tried everything to get them to understand or change—begged, pleaded, yelled, cried—but they still staunchly believe they’ve done nothing wrong.

Some of the media will say millennials are spoiled. The truth is, every generation wants to do better for their kids. But not every family member or parent is able to face their child’s feelings that are at odds with their own limitations and emotional capabilities.

In my work, I hold the belief that if we cut off without doing our own emotional work, we may find ourselves repeating similar patterns with someone else in the future. At the same time, there are moments when creating distance is necessary to preserve our mental health.

If you’re struggling with knowing the difference, I won’t force you into decisions—but I’ll walk alongside you to strengthen your intuition so you can make these choices for yourself. You matter, and if you’ve lost your voice, we can make that the starting point for healing. Contact me today.
