REJECTED PARENT

After a divorce or separation, it’s common for children to “take sides” and favour one parent over another. Parents who are rejected often feel desperate and lost, and in a state of reactivity and intense emotion, may push their child even further away. Written by a family therapist and expert in high-conflict divorce, The Rejected Parent provides skills from attachment and emotion-focused family therapy to help readers attune to their child’s needs, be active and empathetic listeners, and rebuild their relationship.
