Episode 101: Estrangement From Grandchildren

Reconnection Club Podcast cover art

Many parents of estranged adult children are also unwillingly estranged from grandchildren.

Grandchild estrangement is one of the most painful aspects of estrangement, which is a surprisingly common problem in families.

In this episode, Tina shares some observations about this phenomenon, and explains why some adult children feel justified in cutting off a grandparent, even if no one involved is happy about it.

There are reasons why grandchild estrangement may occur beside the one mentioned in this episode, but regardless of what’s motivating the separation, Tina gently guides grandparents toward a possible solution.

For many more practical tips on how to repair an estranged relationship with your adult child (and by extension, grandchildren), see Tina’s book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
