F*ck Them Kids: Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Ther

Are you a parent who's been cut off, ghosted, or vilified by your adult child-and left wondering what went wrong?
You're not alone. And you are not the villain.
In today's culture of pop psychology, social media echo chambers, and therapy-speak gone rogue, more parents than ever are facing the heartbreak of family estrangement-often without warning or explanation.
F*ck Them Kids: Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Therapy Trends That Fuel It is a bold, research-based, and unapologetically honest guide for parents who are tired of walking on eggshells, drowning in shame, and being silenced by toxic narratives.
Written by Vivian King, PhD, a researcher, mother, and estranged parent herself, this powerful book offers both personal insight and cultural analysis to explore:

• The weaponized language and predictable scripts used to justify parental cut-off
• The rise of therapist-approved estrangement and how it fractures families
• Why "no-contact" is the new cancel culture and is often more about control than healing
• How modern therapy culture demonizes parents
• How therapy culture is twisting normal parenting into something 'abusive'-and giving adult children permission to treat their parents with shocking cruelty

You won't find false hope or soft-pedaling here. Instead, you'll find truth, clarity, and the tools to stop begging for scraps of connection-and start living your life.
This isn't a book about reconciliation.
It's a book about you.
Your peace. Your power. Your future.
