38、re impacts estrangement（疏远）has on both sides of the divide.This is aself-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pillemer,a professor at Cornell University,indicates that 1in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families.I believe that san undercount,because others have stop

41、when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives,theroles are simply switched,and the pain only deepens.Often,what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged,power dynamics turned upside down rat
