Hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
So we're gonna talk today about parental estrangement, and in some ways, this topic is a little bit of an answer, or at least a kind of.
It's connected to a previous episode we did on parental alienation.
Something interesting happened.
We had answered a letter from a man who called himself broken dad, and he wrote about having a long marriage and he and his wife got divorced.
And after that, his teenage daughter cut him out of her life and he felt that she had sided with her mother over him and he was hurt and broken about that.
And that episode went up and we got another email into our inbox.
Maybe I should just read it and then we can chat.
Oh, yeah.
