Family is often thought of as the most foundational connection in our lives. We are taught that blood is thicker than water, that loyalty to family is an unspoken duty, and that no matter what, family sticks together. But what happens when these bonds break?
Parental estrangement is a difficult and complex subject, yet one that touches many lives in subtle and often invisible ways. What drives a child to distance themselves from their parents, or vice versa? Is it a matter of personal choice, or does it reflect deeper societal pressures and expectations? Can estrangement be an act of self-preservation, or does it signify failure, loss, or betrayal?
Join us for an open discussion on the intricacies of parental estrangement, where we’ll explore the psychological, emotional, and societal impacts of family disconnects. Together, we’ll unpack the reasons behind estrangement, the stigma that surrounds it, and the possibility—however unlikely—of reconciliation.
As always, we are meeting at The Nook at 19:00, snacks and drinks are on us.
This event is organized by VOX Delft in collaboration with SG.
