Jewish Grandparents Network and licensed marriage and family therapist associate Rachel Haack for gentle and loving ways to address the pain and take small steps toward reconciliation.

Together, we will explore:

The reasons that families become estranged, including warning signs
Why there is social support for cutting off a parent and the concept of “virtuous victimhood”
Helpful ways grandparents can mentally frame their situation (Hint: “Fair” doesn’t factor in)
Why it is helpful to see ourselves as 100% responsible for the relationship
First steps toward reconciliation
Long-term estrangement and how to cope

Rachel will also recommend helpful books and articles.
