Summary
Why Adult Children Cut Off Their Parents (And How to Repair the Relationship Before It’s Too Late) Why do adult children distance themselves from their parents? Estrangement rarely happens because of one argument or one holiday gone wrong. It’s usually the result of accumulated emotional experiences from childhood that were never repaired. In this episode, Anne Alvares explores the deeper reasons adult children pull away — including emotional safety, boundary violations, unresolved childhood wounds, and the impact of personal growth.
