Before Thanksgiving: Do Not Contact Your Estranged Child Until You Watch This

Thanksgiving has a way of making the silence louder. For a parent whose child has pulled away, the holiday brings an almost unbearable urge to reach out — and that urge, acted on in the wrong way, can set things back further than before. The days before the holiday are exactly when the most damage gets done. In this video I share what to think through before you contact your estranged child this Thanksgiving — why the holidays raise the stakes, how a well-meant message can land as pressure, and what gives you the best chance if you do reach out. Gently and honestly, from one parent who understands the pull of that empty chair to another. #Estrangement #EstrangedParents #Thanksgiving
