Abstract:

The author states that a forum needs to be set up to enable the two generations to talk to one another. Only by exchanging their thoughts will they learn one another's pain. Only through this exchange and dialogue can the children free themselves from guilt and work toward a healthy separation. In order to separate truly, permission needs to be given by the parents.
