Abstract
The methods presented here for approaching your adult children have a high probability of breaking down the barriers between you. When you begin talking with your adult children, you will have the chance to apply the difficult personal work you have done. The internal changes you have made and the awareness you have gained will help you in the reconciliation process.
I had no time to hate,
because The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.
Nor had I time to love; but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.
Emily Dickinson
