Product Description
In When Parents Hurt, psychologist and parent Joshua Coleman, Ph.D., offers insight, empathy, and perspective to those who have lost the opportunity to be the parent they desperately wanted to be and who are mourning the loss of a harmonious relationship with their child. Through case examples and healing exercises, Dr. Coleman helps parents: - Reduce anger, guilt, and shame
- Learn how temperament, the teen years, their own or a partner's mistakes, and divorce can strain the parent-child bond
- Come to terms with their own and their child's imperfections
- Develop strategies for rebuilding the relationship or move toward acceptance of what can't be changed
By helping parents recognize what they can do and let go of what they cannot, Dr. Coleman helps families develop more positive ways of healing themselves and relating to each other.

 I have read this book over and over again October 25, 2008

This book is such a comfort for parents of estranged children. Just knowing that you are not alone and that you are not a monster. Learning to get back in life and value yourself as a human being. Not being ashamed of what others think, but will never know.
When Parents Hurt September 21, 2008
Excellent information for parents on how to cope with a difficult family situation. Family estrangements are growing more prevalant today between parents and adult children and Dr. Coleman has been generous with his time by providing an excellent book, website for parents and bringing this problem to the attention of other professionals.
Wow! September 19, 2008
This book has healed the rift between me and my 22 year old daughter. Healed it. I can't thank you enough, Dr. Coleman.

I only gave 3 stars because I have not completed the book. What I have read so far has been good. If the book was available in audio I would have finished it by now.

Simply put- the best parenting book ever. Every parent should read this at least once during their journey as a parent. Different chapters apply to different challenges we face with our children. I wish I had found this book sooner.
