Today on the Gen X Juggler podcast, Deb interviews Candi Morris, creator of the Estranged and Rearranged podcast, about supporting parents whose adult children go no contact.
Candi shares her personal estrangement from her 35-year-old son since July 2022, the loss of contact with her granddaughter, and the earlier death of an adult daughter, describing estrangement as “ambiguous grief.”
She discusses why estrangement feels more prevalent, citing social media algorithms, cultural focus on the self, media coverage, and a reported 38% of adults estranged from a family member. They address impacts on grandchildren and family legacy, missing grace and forgiveness, links to divorce, tragedy, therapy advice, and spouse/partner influence.
Candi urges parents to hold hope for reconciliation while continuing to live, improve themselves, and seek support via estrangedandrearranged.com and free weekly Zoom groups.
