[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was screaming when the male therapist author (Joshua Coleman) told that young couple (who went NC with the man's parents because they hated the DIL and were pissed that they got pregnant) that they are showing their DD the example that no contact is an option.

I was like, GOOD!!!! Are you kidding me? What a weird, tone-deaf, not reading the room, absurd thing to say. I never read his book or heard of him before but OP you are probably right that he lacks reflection. My God.

I thought the female therapist sitting next to him seemed irritated by him or maybe that was my hopeful projection.

Overall I enjoyed it. I watched in on youtube. I have seen that hospice nurse before and I really liked hearing from her.[/quote]

Both Coleman and the mom who has two sons who still talk to her and one daughter estranged were defensive.

Proves the point that sometimes adult children are estranged because parent is not willing to listen and self reflect.

I thought it was a good conversation and the dad who went to therapy provided a great insight as to how to open the door again. [/quote]
