When children sever ties with their parents, it goes against a kind of law of life. One can part ways with friends, business partners, or spouses, but not with parents. Honoring father and mother is, after all, a Christian commandment. Nevertheless, it is becoming increasingly common in our time for children to cut off contact with their parents and no longer wish to know anything about them. This is a shock for the affected parents, a painful experience, and furthermore, a double loss, as they also lose their grandchildren through the estrangement from their children. The guide explores the various causes of children's breakups that lead to a communication breakdown between generations. However, it also provides comfort and hope through the experience of most parents that a child's decision to cut off contact is often temporary.
