Scenario

When parent and adult child keep fighting about surface issues instead of deeper values

My dad and I have been having the same fight about politics for three years and we both know it's not really about politics — it's about something much deeper about how we see the world — but neither of us knows how to have that real conversation. We love each other but we've gotten stuck in this loop of hurting each other and I don't know how to break it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are using safe arguments to avoid unsafe intimacy, but the safety is destroying the very connection they're trying to protect.
