4 Ways to Handle Hurtful Letters from Your Adult Child//Opening a hurtful message from your adult child can feel like an emotional earthquake. The shock, the pain, the confusion—it’s overwhelming. But before you respond, defend yourself, or spiral into guilt, this video will help you take a breath and ground yourself.
In this video, I’ll walk you through what to do first: how to regulate your emotions, discern whether a response is even needed, and avoid the common mistakes that can make things worse.
