2 posts | 1 read
Now Revised and Updated for an Even Clearer, More Impactful Read If you're a parent whos been cut off by your adult child and left reeling in silence, this book was written for you. This revised and updated version of Forget Them Kids offers a sharper, more compassionate, and even more thought-provoking take on the original. With refined formatting, clearer organization, and strengthened insights, this version deepens the message at the heart of the book: not every parent deserves estrangementand not every adult child is a victim. This book dares to challenge the culturally popular, therapist-approved narrative that always blames the parent. It exposes the cult-like language of online "healing" spaces that encourage adult children to sever ties, rewrite history, and reject accountability. It explores how estranged parents are often misjudged, scapegoated, and left to suffer in silencewhile society applauds their disappearance. With honesty and strength, Forget Them Kids empowers estranged parents to: Let go of guilt and reclaim their power Recognize manipulative therapy trends and online echo chambers Set unapologetic boundaries Rebuild a joyful life that doesnt depend on reconciliation Whether you're newly estranged or have carried this heartbreak for years, this book offers more than comfortit offers clarity, strength, and a way forward.

Estranged parent Vivian King refuses to be cast as the villain in anyone‘s narrative. So she pens a book to rewrite the “one-sided” estrangement narrative and recast herself as the hero. In her narrative rewrite, parents are the good guys and their estranged children are villains. Her book is meant to convince the world that her equally one-sided narrative is the correct one, that way she will always be seen as the good guy by default. ⬇️

Kerrbearlib If you read this book to better understand estrangement, be warned it is biased and one-sided. I encourage you to read the accounts of estranged children and estranged parents with different opinions than Vivian King‘s. Estrangement is a complicated issue that isn‘t one-size fits all like Vivian King would like readers to believe. (edited) 1w
