The Estrangement Generation: Choosing Strength When Family Ties Are Tested By Angela Renee Family distance is no longer rare. It is increasingly common - and deeply destabilizing. More parents, fathers, and grandparents are navigating strained relationships, emotional cutoffs, or full estrangement with adult children. The silence can feel shocking. The grief can feel invisible. The shame can feel isolating. But this book is not a defense. It is not a reconciliation manual. It is not a blame narrative. It is a leadership framework for parents under relational pressure. In The Estrangement Generation, Angela Renee offers a steady, research-informed approach to surviving family rupture without collapsing into shame, bitterness, or self-erasure. Drawing on attachment theory, ambiguous loss research, nervous system regulation, and generational psychology, this book helps you: - Regulate your nervous system when emotions surge - Resist the urge to chase or escalate - Practice accountability without collapsing - Navigate modern psychological language shifts - Remain steady even if reconciliation never comes - Live fully while holding the door open This is not about winning anyone back. It is about who you become in the rupture. You cannot control another adult's interpretation of the past. You can control your posture in the present. Clear. Measured. Unflinching. The Estrangement Generation is for parents and grandparents who refuse to let distance define their identity. You do not need perfection. You need steadiness. Angela Renee offers posture.
