Q&A: The Pain of Parental Rejection. Why Can They Show Up for Others and Not Me?

I'm answering a caller's question today. This caller has a very distant relationship with her father, and she's trying to figure out what to do. He's super invested with his step-kids and those grandchildren, but he can't seem to show up for her and her children. I try to help this caller understand why she has resentment for her father's ambivalence, how to grieve that loss, and what to do about the relationship.Join The Family Cyclebreakers Club: www.callinghome.co/joinHave a question for Whitney?
