When a Child Chooses Distance from Family
Episode 2
Thursday, 5 February, 2026

What do you when your child cuts ties with a loved one? What's the role of a parent when extended family relationships break down? Lisa Valentine Clark and the Council of Moms—Ruth Aguirre, Liz Palmer-Bastian, and Hilary Craner—take on one of the hardest parenting positions: being stuck in the middle. These moms talk honestly about navigating resentment, holding empathy for both sides, and the emotional toll of being the go-between. In a culture where cutting people off can feel like the default, they explore why relationships are hard, worth fighting for, and how to move forward with wisdom and boundaries.
