This is the part those hand-wringing articles about estrangement seem to miss. The “trend” of estrangement is not about a lack of communication it’s about a lack of accountability.

Never underestimate a harmful mother’s ability to turn an entire family against her child. “My child cut the whole family off” has a much better ring to it than “I carefully built a narrative to discredit my child.”

What narrative is being spread about you?

When estranged parents say “They never told me why” so often this translates to: “they tried to tell me 150 times, and my behavior didn’t change.”
