Scenario

When parents struggle to explain family estrangement to children

Our teenage daughter keeps asking why we moved away from her grandparents and we realize that we've never actually explained to her that we were trying to get away from some really unhealthy family dynamics but now she thinks we're just selfish.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people must decide how much painful family history to share with their child who is creating her own narrative in the absence of truth.
