Not a parenting book, When Parents Hurt is written for parents who for a variety of reasons do not get along with their grown children. Psychologist and parent Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. offers insight, empathy, and perspective to those who have lost the opportunity to be the parent they desperately wanted to be and who are mourning the loss of a harmonious relationship with their child. His compassionate strategies help parents let go of what they cannot control and develop positive ways of healing themselves and relating to family members.
