A new book on family estrangement: Fault Lines: Fractured Families and . . .
On the Chicago Tribune: "To those who can't be with us."

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

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."
