Estranged parents are becoming content creators because fueling their mask has always mattered more than actual repair and and reconciliation.
They claim they want reconciliation and one last conversation but what they actually want is to remain exactly the same without making the slightest of changes.
If they had led with safety, curiosity, and accountability during their parenting years, then they would not be estranged.
Notice how they claim helplessness and naivety about the past but watch how they still parent in the present. They often leave out how they still manage to parent in the present. We can all agree they have access to resources especially when they can easily pick up a microphone and run podcasts.
They will not admit that emotional neglect and emotional abuse are still abuse. They tell their adult children to grow up and take responsibility. But where is theirs? They were the adults the entire time. Some even blame little children for the shortcomings.
