Publisher's Summary
In Done with the Crying: Help and Healing for Mothers of Estranged Adult Children, Sheri McGregor, MA, helps parents break free from emotional pain - and move forward in their own lives.
As a loving mother to whom the unthinkable happened, McGregor knows the horrible shock that wrings a parent dry, triggers denial, blame, anger, and shame. With empathy and understanding, as well as tools, the latest research, and insight from more than 9,000 parents of estranged adult children, McGregor helps parents of estranged adults plan ahead, prepare for emotional triggers, and prevail over setbacks and pain.
You can be happy again. In a calm yet authoritative voice, and with exercises derived from her work as a life coach and her own recovery, McGregor helps mothers come to terms with their estranged adult child's choices and regain their health and happiness.
To fathers of estranged adult children - this book can help you, too. "Ninety-three percent of the parents who answer my survey at rejectedparents.net are mothers," says Sheri McGregor. "That's why the title is directed at them. But many of the book's examples are from couples, and include the experiences of fathers. Some passages directly highlight men's reactions, including my husband's. The principles presented are relevant to fathers, and the strategies for coping can be used by anyone."
In this encouraging and comprehensive book, McGregor fully covers the phenomenon of estranged adult children from families who never expected a son or daughter to cut ties and walk away.
Nine in-depth chapters provide dozens of inspiring examples from among the thousands of parents of estranged adult children. Gain understanding and practical help from a mother who knows the pain of this devastating loss with all its uncertainty and heartache. Hope can remain, but you don't have to stay stalled, forever waiting. You can move past the disbelief and distress. Take charge. Reclaim yourself and your life - only maybe even better.

Set me free
This book set me free from the guilt and worry and tears of having a child who really doesn’t seem to want to be in my life. It’s so comforting to realise you are far from alone. Thank you

Written with empathy, practical advice.
A moving personal mothers story shared along with many other mothers who are also bewildered by the unexpected estrangement of a child. I did not do all suggested exercises, I did some, mostly I listened to story and paused to reflect. I feel the title of book reflects my own feelings, at the end. Emotional resilience involves learning how to suffer through painful experiences that come unexpectedly to everyone at some time, work through the grieving eventually and still find joy in life. I do recommend this book for mothers who still struggle w a child's adult decision to have no or less contact with them. Also, to those who want to help and understand those living this particular ambiguous loss in their life.
