Seniors: 4 Hidden Reasons Your Child Resents You — Even Though You Did Nothing Wrong

Your child is cold, distant, or angry — and no matter how hard you think back, you can't figure out what you did wrong. You've replayed the conversations. You've questioned your decisions. And still, no answer. Here's what 40 years of clinical psychology has taught me: sometimes the resentment your child feels toward you has very little to do with you at all. In this video, I walk you through 4 hidden psychological reasons adult children carry resentment toward their parents — reasons that have nothing to do with bad parenting, and everything to do with what's happening inside them. What you'll learn: Why you may be your child's "emotional lightning rod" — even when you've done nothing wrong How therapy culture and social media may be rewriting your child's memories of you The surprising role of guilt in pushing adult children away Why late emotional independence can look like resentment — but is actually a healthy sign If you're a parent over 60 who is confused, hurt, or grieving the distance in your relationship with your child, this video is for you.
