. "Closeness with our adult children is not an entitlement, but it can be the goal. It is nothing we can assume. But it is something we can hope for."
These quiet words of guidance are from Joshua Coleman, psychiatrist and author of "When Parents Hurt:: Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don’t Get Along"
the book is about dysfunctional parent-child relationships–ones that veer close to the day when a grown child writes the parent that she no longer wants to hear from dear old dad or that mom should never darken his door again.
