We watch many videos on YouTube and Dr Joshua Coleman provides a wealth of information on this topic of parental alienation and grandparent alienation in “Cult of One.”
We want to feature a video he recently uploaded entitled Cult of One. This scenario may not resonate with you, but it is very common, and if you are wondering why your son has not been in contact with you, this may provide a sense of reassurance and answers.
In this insightful and compassionate talk, renowned psychologist Dr. Joshua Coleman explores the often-overlooked dynamic between a son’s wife and parental estrangement. Drawing on years of clinical experience, research, and feedback from over 1,600 estranged parents, Dr. Coleman sheds light on the significant role that a difficult daughter-in-law can play in a son’s decision to cut ties with his parents.
He discusses patterns observed in thousands of families, backed by real-case composites, and shares why mothers and fathers often feel blindsided after their sons marry. This video is not about blame—it’s about understanding hidden influences, validating your experience, and helping estranged parents find clarity and healing.
Whether you’re experiencing estrangement yourself or trying to make sense of a loved one’s distance, this talk offers powerful insights into one of the most painful, yet common, family breakdowns.
