You're not taking responsibility for the past.
So I have no interest.
So a lot of my work with parents is really helping them to understand how the adult child came to see the parent in the way that they did and why they believe that being estranged from them is really the healthiest thing for them to do.
Yes.

So younger generations have been reared in that direction.
