165. Paradoxes of Estrangement (Part 1)

Life is full of paradoxes…
The busier we are, the more easily we can handle an extra task.
The more we demand respect, the less respect we seem to get.
The more love we give, the more we have left in our hearts.
And while everyone has to deal with paradoxes in life, parents of estranged adult children live with specific contradictory truths that often frustrate their attempts to reconcile.
Learn about just a few of these predictable paradoxes, and how to handle them, in this thought-provoking two-part episode.
