When a Parent Becomes Estranged [Divergence VI 4/4]

Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to a father and daughter who were estranged and then reunited. We also speak with Adam Pollock, the estrangement specialist who inspired them to reconcile.

In this episode we discuss:

Are there specific struggles that lead to estrangement in the Orthodox Jewish world?
How do we handle the tension between the need to heal and the need to be right?
How do we avoid regression once family members have been reunited?

Tune in to hear a conversation about our essential and unchanging identities that transcend our circumstances.

Interview begins at 20:50.

Adam N. Pollock is the founder of Aaron’s Legacy, where he specializes in mediating family estrangement using a blend of ancient wisdom and modern conflict resolution techniques. Since 2015, he has helped individuals and families navigate some of their most painful relational fractures with compassion, rigor, and creativity. A former attorney and business executive, Adam brings decades of experience in negotiation, arbitration, and high-stakes decision-making to his work as an estrangement mediator. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from The George Washington University and a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, and is the author of Secrets From the Legal Pad (2023).
