Understanding The Emotional Pain of Parental Estrangement- from both sides

Описание: Here I present a different way to consider the emotional pain that both adult children and parents can feel during parental estrangement.

We can become so hurt during relationship struggles that we can have difficulty considering things from the perspective of the other side. I have created this video with the particular hope of showing how emotionally difficult adult children can feel around cutting off their parents. I see many parents saying that they believe their children don't care or estranged for fun. However, I don't think this is the case for many people.

I wonder if a parent can better understand their child's emotional pain, that estrangement may become less divisive and perhaps even be avoided.

Thank you for watching. My name is Chess. I'm a psychotherapist, coach, counsellor and survivor of a toxic, abusive family dynamic.

I have experienced both estranging from and being estranged (alienated) from family members. My journey through understanding the sad truth behind my family's facade and standing up for myself against lies, blackmail, and illegal activity, was the hardest thing I have ever done. It took an immense toll on my health, finances, relationships and sometimes my sanity. But I survived, and am now doing better than I ever was.

I created this channel to be a support for others who are navigating the difficulties of challenging families. I am neither pro nor anti estrangement. I believe it is an essential tool for those who have exhausted all other options and their wellbeing is at risk by staying close to people who can't support them.

If you are dealing with a toxic relationship, please look after yourself and get professional help if you are able.
