About this listen

Are you a parent who’s been cut off, ghosted, or vilified by your adult child—and left wondering what went wrong?

You’re not alone. And you are not the villain.

In today’s culture of pop psychology, social media echo chambers, and therapy-speak gone rogue, more parents than ever are facing the heartbreak of family estrangement—often without warning or explanation.

Forget Them Kids: Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Therapy Trends That Fuel It
is a bold, research-based, and unapologetically honest guide for parents who are tired of walking on eggshells, drowning in shame, and being silenced by toxic narratives.

Written by Vivian King, PhD, a researcher, mother, and estranged parent herself, this powerful book offers both personal insight and cultural analysis to explore:

  • The weaponized language and predictable scripts used to justify parental cut-off
  • The rise of therapist-approved estrangement and how it fractures families
  • Why “no-contact” is the new cancel culture and is often more about control than healing
  • How modern therapy culture demonizes parents
  • How therapy culture is twisting normal parenting into something ‘abusive’—and giving adult children permission to treat their parents with shocking cruelty

You won’t find false hope or soft-pedaling here. Instead, you’ll find truth, clarity, and the tools to stop begging for scraps of connection—and start living your life.

This isn’t a book about reconciliation.

It’s a book about you.
Your peace. Your power. Your future.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
