Scenario

When parents and children protect each other with silence

My teenage daughter and I used to be close but since the divorce two years ago we've both been pretending everything is normal when it's clearly not, and now there's this careful distance between us that we're both maintaining.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Mutual protection through emotional distance is preventing the healing that honest vulnerability might bring.
