About this listen

 Today, we sit down with Eamon Dolan, author of the new book: THE POWER OF PARTING released in April, to demonstrate why adults choosing to break up with toxic relatives may be the only moral solution for those enmeshed in unhealthy or abusive family dynamics. It’s a deeply personal, poignant piece that debunks cultural messages and social taboos informing our collective bias towards reconciliation; speaks to the phenomenon’s growing prevalence in society (estimated to affect up to 50% of the population) and destigmatizes estrangement for abuse survivors seeking to break the cycle of abuse. The Power of Parting has already racked up impressive acclaim as a well-researched, practical guidebook that positions estrangement as an empowering solution for abuse survivors seeking to escape cycles of trauma. On this episode, we discuss the four types of abuse, the spectrum of estrangement, the myth of the false idol of family, Eamon’s powerful own personal journey to parting with his own mother, his beautiful life now with his wife and child, and leave listeners with feelings of hope for anyone who may be in a similar cycle.
