By: Sheri McGregor MA

Narrated by: Ann Marie Lee

Ten thorough chapters contain relevant research, reflection questions, exercises, and common-sense advice about the gritty, complex issues parents of estranged adult children face. Expand your self-awareness, strengthen your resilience, and take positive action for your life, your family, and your happiness.

All parents make mistakes. Some have deep regrets for things they did or didn't do. In one chapter, these parents share how they believe they fell short and how they're managing. How long must a parent bow to guilt, pay penance, and make amends? And, deplorably, do some adult children exploit their guilt?

For any parent of estranged adult children, reconciling may be a solo sport. Even when reconciliations do occur, their success requires wisdom and strength. That's why it's so important to empower yourself, make positive changes, and reclaim your life, even while waiting and continuing to reach out (if you choose to).

Beyond Done with the Crying: More Answers and Advice for Parents of Estranged Adult Children is filled with information and solutions to the complex, real-life problems that plague parents of estranged adult children and their families.

Insightful

The book helps you understand the feelings you might experience when dealing with an estranged child. It helps you know you are not alone and it helps you to feel confident about moving forward with your life. It’s a great book.

Very Useful

An eye opening account of adult children who estrange themselves from their parents. Very thought provoking.

Find a different reader

Content is good but the reader is ruining it with over exaggeration. If feels demeaning and/or patronizing.

The performance overshadowed everything else.

I couldn’t finished this due to the overly dramatic and often breathy performance. It seemed disingenuous. I plan to buy the book and read it to glean what I’m sure is helpful information based on the author’s first book on the subject.

Good content, annoying narration

The narrator detracts from the content. Her voice sometimes sounds anguished and pitiful, not comforting for someone trying to get solace from a book like this.
