I'm delighted to be collaborating with the folks from @JoinPersuasion, whom I've long admired. Here's my complicated take on family estrangement and how it's breaking us apart. Huge thanks to the people who spoke to me about this painful issue ♥️

More than a quarter of Americans are estranged from a family member at some point. Many reconcile. Here’s how therapists say you can get from A to B. (Might also work for former Twitter contacts.) https://t.co/YqZgcJjC4N
Some people can reconcile after estrangement without addressing the underlying issues, while others can't. These considerations can help people move forward with the type of relationship they really need, explains @fernschumer https://t.co/wVN7gJliAx
Dear Fathers-
On this special day, I want to celebrate and acknowledge the immense value you bring to your child's life. Your role as a father extends far beyond the boundaries of a relationship. It is a profound connection that holds the power to shape your child's world in countless ways.
Your presence, love, consistency, and unwavering commitment provides a sense of stability and security that your child deeply craves. They just may not realize it. Keep rising to the opportunity to be that beacon of strength, compassion, and guidance —for the rest of your life!
Embrace the special opportunity as a positive influence and role model who demonstrates kindness, empathy, and respect… especially when times are tough for you or them. Your impact as a father transcends any life challenge. You have the enduring capacity to humbly inspire, teach, and nurture your child’s spirit. Keep f’ing going. Never give up!
Today, and every day, let us honor fathers like you, who strive to make a difference in their children's lives.
Your love and dedication are immeasurable, and your impact is imprinted on the future generations.
Happy Father's Day. 👨👧👦

Wishing comfort to all of the grandparents who are being deprived of seeing and loving their grandchildren and for the strength to carry on through this profoundly painful social problem and global epidemic.

A 93-year-old woman and her grandson set out on a mission to visit all 63 US national parks. This week they completed their journey in an "epic" place https://t.co/fTfc5DnLrU
Denying a person in pain needed pain relief doesn't just impact them.
It destroys marriages, affects how involved parents are in their kids lives, prevents grandparents from connecting w/grandkids/family at social events, and compromises one's ability to part of their community.
