Has your adult child severely limited or maybe totally cutoff all contact with you? Are you getting well- intentioned suggestions from others about how to repair the relationship? Have people implied that it must be your fault? This process is called estrangement and you need to know that you are not alone. There is a path forward in the midst of your bewilderment. This book will share the common experiences among Parents of Estranged Adult Kids (PEAK™), the stages of estrangement, the impact it has on your health and well being, and many other elements of estrangement. It also outlines a journey that promotes healing for your spirit, your body, and your mind but leaves hope intact. Most importantly, this journey also prepares you for the day your child is ready to consider reconciliation.
