Being a mother didn't erase what Kreed knew about being a daughter. In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, she explores how her experience as an estranged and reconciled adult daughter shapes the way she listens to parents.
This episode considers the history that follows a relationship into adulthood, what distance can and cannot tell us, and the difference between being in contact and having room to be yourself. Kreed reflects on bringing both her mother and daughter experiences into work that requires continued learning.
In this conversation
- How a parent's current intention can differ from the adult child's expectations based on history.
- What the daughter's position helps Kreed notice about choice, privacy, and unwanted help.
- The responsibility to ask questions when an absent adult child's experience remains unknown.
- How parents can begin repair without asking the adult child to manage their distress.
- Why reconciliation can involve learning long after contact resumes.
