This unique book supports parents who are struggling with
the heartache of having a teenager or an adult child who is
troubled, angry, or distant. Such rifts can cause
unspeakable sorrow that parents too often must bear alone.
Psychologist and parent Joshua Coleman, Ph.D., offers
insight, empathy, and perspective to those who have lost the
opportunity to be the parent they desperately wanted to be
and who are mourning the loss of a harmonious relationship
with their child. Through case examples and healing
exercises, Dr. Coleman helps parents:
- Reduce anger, guilt, and shame
- Learn how temperament, the teen years, their own
or a partner's mistakes, and divorce can strain the
parent-child bond
- Come to terms with
their own and their child's imperfections
- Maintain self-esteem through difficult
times
- Develop strategies for
rebuilding the relationship or move toward acceptance of
what can't be changed
- Understand how
society's high expectations of parents contribute to the
risk of parental wounds
By helping parents
recognize what they can do, and let go of what they cannot,
Dr. Coleman helps families develop more positive ways of
healing themselves and relating to each other.
