Forget Them Kids
Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Therapy Trends That Fuel it

This book is an honest examination of the estrangement epidemic—one that’s not about parents begging to be included, but about stepping away with dignity, self-respect, and the strength to move forward.In a culture where parents have become disposable, where love is one-sided, and where parents are bullied into silence by therapy jargon and online echo chambers, this book offers a necessary course correction.If you’re a parent who has been ghosted, scapegoated, or quietly erased by your adult child, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. You are not the villain, despite what modern therapy culture or social media influencers may suggest.In Forget Them Kids, Vivian King, PhD challenges the one-sided narrative driving today’s estrangement epidemic and exposes the biased therapy trends that keep loving, well-intentioned parents trapped in cycles of guilt, shame, and self-blame. Blending evidence-based research with personal insight and lived experience, this book is a lifeline for parents who are ready to stop chasing, stop apologizing, and start taking back their power.Compassionate, and deeply validating, Forget Them Kids breaks the silence around a growing cultural crisis. Your voice matters. Your story matters.
