I have been estranged from 3 of my 4 adult children for 10 years. Reconciliation has been realized with only the male. The 3 daughters who range in age from 54 to 37. Their Mother passed away after a 47 year marriage. All 3 daughters had a very toxic relationship with their Mother which never resolved prior to her demise. I remarried 15 months after her death to a widow who all my children knew from church. My first wife and I knew her and her husband for 40+ years. I believe the girls resented what they envisioned was my remarriage was a replacement of their Mother when they needed me to provide emotional support exclusively to them, and to help them deal with not making amends with their Mother before she passed. I failed to recognize their needs, which was the basis for their estrangement. This book has provided me with much insight on how to begin the process of reconciliation. It was an excellent “eye opener” for me. The only unanswered question I have is do I begin this process with all 3 them at one time, or do I deal with each one, one at a time?
