Family rifts occur in many kinds of situations - disagreements over a marriage, fights over inheritances, prejudice against another's sexual orientation or lifestyle, abuse, addiction, and many other circumstances. Mark Sichel has helped hundreds of clients deal with such rifts, and experienced such a rift himself when his parents cut off contact with him. Sichel understands the pain and shame surrounding such a rift and offers readers a way through the crisis toward building a more peaceful life. What's unique about this book is that Sichel does not assume that the rift will, or even should, be mended. In his own case, his parents were so abusive toward his wife that he accepted their decision to end contact. Several of his clients were the ones who actually made the painful decision to end contact with another family member. Sichel offers ten steps to coming to terms with the family dynamics that led to the split, finding peace and inner reconciliation, and going on to form a "second family" of people whose values are more in sync with one's own.
