An 8-Week Group
Exact Time TBA
This is a future group — contact me with your interest so we can get started!
“Parental Estrangement” is when an adult child breaks contact, or “cuts off” from her/his/their parents. Such estrangements may be brief, but sometimes last for months or years. In some cases the break may appear to be permanent.
This can be devastating for parents, who may experience hurt, sadness, confusion, anger, embarrassment and other painful emotions. This pain may be even greater if the estranged parents imagine they are the only ones to have lost contact with their offspring in this way.
Although estimates of the incidence of estrangement vary, parental estrangement certainly isn’t rare, and it appears to be on the rise2. If you are in this situation, you are not alone.
GETME is offering a group for parents who share this experience to come together in mutual witness, understanding, acceptance, and support.
