What do you do when you want a stronger relationship with your adult child…but you don’t know what’s keeping them distant? What do you do when your adult child becomes distant, but you don’t completely understand why? Tommie and Lance have an honest conversation about repairing strained relationships with adult children, when to keep parenting, when to simply listen, whether giving them space creates even more distance, and what happens when you’ve apologized, changed, and tried everything you know to do. For parents dealing with distance, adult child estrangement, or simply a relationship that isn’t as close as they hoped, this episode asks a difficult question: Can you repair the relationship or can you only change your side of it and keep the door open? adult children, adult child relationships, parent adult child relationship, strained family relationships, adult child estrangement, reconnect with adult child, fatherhood, parenting adult children, father son relationship, family reconciliation, repairing relationships, distant adult child, family relationships, parenting, fathers, Black fathers, men and fatherhood, Four Titles One Truth
