Joshua Coleman: Estranged: When . . . cutting off our parents comes to seem like a valid choice.

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Ginny

I found a recent article by Joshua Coleman that summarizes many of the causes of family estrangements, recent research on the subject, and reasons for the difficulty in finding resolution. I have read Coleman's writings before. I don't recall reading some of the points he raises in this article in his past writings. But then I don't follow all that is going on with him regularly. I think this is an excellent article well worth reading. I recommend it.

"Estranged: When feeling good about ourselves means more than filial duty, cutting off our parents comes to seem like a valid choice."
