Estranged siblings, Scott and Ashley, look to mend their relationship on a 3-day hiking trip. As tensions rise, Scott gets lost and falls into a 10-foot-deep spike pit, impaling him through his leg and leaving him trapped. He and his friends soon learn that his fall was no accident, but the beginning of a deadly hunt perpetrated by a deranged madman whose use of deadly traps each adds a gory notch to his body count, one by one. A sight-unseen choice from Erik, we give our general thoughts on this backwoods throwback and also discuss the cast, crew, and what's next for director James Kondelik.

What if you did your best with a child who was unusually difficult to raise… and then as an adult, they became estranged? The pain can be especially deep when you remember how hard you worked, the challenges you faced as a parent, and how much you tried to get things right. In this episode, therapist and host Tina Gilbertson explores the possibility that difficult temperaments and mismatches between parents and children aren't anyone's fault. Instead of looking for someone to blame, she invites listeners to consider what compassion might make possible -- compassion for the child you struggled to raise, and compassion for the human parent you were and still are. Tina encourages listeners to look honestly at their reasons for wanting contact with difficult, now-estranged adult children. What are you hoping contact will do? And what might change if you could radically accept yourself, your child, and your history together as reality, and start from there? For evidence-based tools to repair a troubled parent-adult child relationship, read host Tina Gilbertson's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child. https://amzn.to/2ZhetMe Reconnection Club members can discuss this and every episode in the General Discussion forum inside the Reconnection Club.

A common reason for estrangement comes from a surprising place… when the mother tries to help their child or their spouse around the house. What is intended as support and help results in a text message telling them they overstepped, intruded or otherwise violated a boundary. And all of a sudden, they have less access to watch the grandchildren or perhaps they get cut off from their child and their family completely. It leaves the estranged mother confused and upset, wondering how her good intentions became the source of no contact.    In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, I will give you detailed examples of this and I'll explain what's really happening under the surface.    This skill of hearing what's not being said… seeing beneath the surface of the harsh words… that's something you need even if your child estranged for entirely different reasons. So this episode benefits you even if your child went no contact for some other reason. Come on in, and let's talk about it.  . Next Steps: 1) Apply for your FREE consultation to talk to Jenny 1:1.

This episode was originally published in February 2026. In today's episode, we're covering a topic that isn't often spoken about, but is estimated to affect around one in four families: family estrangement. It's a subject that writer and Irish Times contributor Laura Kennedy wrote about recently in her Substack, detailing the complicated grief she experienced following the death of her father late last year - a man she hadn't seen in over a decade. In today's episode, Kennedy joins Róisín Ingle to reflect on the strange, unsettling reality of losing a parent whose death changes almost nothing in her daily life. You can find her piece on family estrangement on Substack here https://lkennedy.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send me a question or commentWe sit down with John and Ashley to trace how a devout, image-driven family culture turns love into compliance and turns honest boundaries into “betrayal.” We unpack the slow build to estrangement, the smear campaign and legal threats that follow, and what accountability would actually need to look like for reconciliation. • how enmeshment makes normal boundaries feel like panic • religion and scripture used as a tool for control and spiritual abuse • early warning signs like mandatory family dinners and guilt-based loyalty • generational patterns of betrayal, deflection and protecting the harmful person • the seven-page letter and why “the last straw” is never just one thing • smear campaigns, bullying tactics and cease-and-desist threats over public storytelling • anchoring to faith and truth when the family goes silent • what we require for repair: one-on-one effort, therapy, honesty and real change • how a healthy marriage helps rebuild identity after a narcissistic family system “We have a book that we wrote, and it's called Christ-like boundaries, and it's available on Amazon.” “leaveandcleave.com is the website, and that's the name of our other handles on various social medias.”Doc David

In February 2020, 31-year-old Hannah Clarke was driving her three young children to school in Brisbane, Australia, when her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter jumped into the car and doused them with petrol. Behind closed doors, Hannah had endured years of coercive control, intimidation, isolation, and abuse. She had done what so many victims are told to do: she left, sought help from police, obtained a protection order, and documented her fears. It wasn't enough. In this episode, we examine the warning signs leading up to the murders, the systemic failures that left Hannah and her children unprotected, and the reforms that followed. It's a heartbreaking case that forever changed the conversation about domestic violence in Australia.Today's snack: LamingtonsSupport us on PatreonSources:https://www.buzzfeed.com/lady_emerald/this-or-that-quiz This or that quizhttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/hannahs-story/id1687003092 Hannah's Story Podcast on Applehttps://open.spotify.com/episode/6BbT3geVOTMQ7Adtj8UVG5 Hannah's Story Podcast on Spotifyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzgaNFLu3T4&t=75s podcast with Sue & Lloyd Clarkehttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/murder-suicide-case-nz-killer-rowan-baxters-ex-wife-hannhttps://www.courts.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/723664/cif-hannah-clarke-aaliyah-baxter-laianah-baxter-trey-baxter-and-rowan-baxter.pdfhttps://www.smallsteps4hannah.com.au/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://anzmh.asn.au/blog/the-inquest-into-the-murder-of-hannah-clarke-and-her-three-childrenhttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/murder-suicide-case-nz-killer-rowan-baxters-ex-wife-hannah-clarke-called-her-dad-before-her-death/DVBXGMQVANBMJBJX62EGFLMKLM/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/car-fire-murders-rowan-baxters-relatives-speak-out-about-his-upbringing/A3V5OZF5S4OY546JAXBYTP7LJM/ https://www.smh.com.au/national/queensland/police-did-not-fail-hannah-clarke-but-training-overhaul-needed-coroner-20220629-p5axjs.htmlhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/140-women-and-girls-on-average-were-killed-by-a-loved-one-every-day-last-year-un-findshttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/murder-of-hannah-clarke-and-kids-prompts-incredible-surge-in-men-seeking-to-stop-domestic-violence/ajkjeig48https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350550739/son-of-killer-rowan-baxter-who-murdered-estranged-wife-hannah-three-children-suing-her-parentshttps://www.odt.co.nz/news/australia/son-killer-kiwi-dad-suing-victims-parentshttps://www.dailymail.com/news/article-8036307/Estranged-son-killer-Rowan-Baxter-shows-support-Hannah-Clarke.htmlhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-31/qld-hannah-clarke-inquest-murder-domestic-violence-victim-impact/100942190https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/17/murders-hannah-clarke-and-children-shocked-australia-queensland-police-failures-text-messages-rowan-baxterhttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/16/hannah-clarke-children-murder-qld-queensland-police

In 1975, Kuwaiti workers orchestrated arguably the most powerful citizen-led movement for noncitizen rights in the history of the Persian Gulf. Their efforts built on decades of wide-ranging struggle over the meanings and outlines of citizenship. During the twentieth century, anticolonial nationalists, pro-democracy reformers, feminists, and labor organizers joined forces to fight for a more equitable citizenship regime. In so doing, they won a remarkable series of victories: political independence, constitutional rights, and oil nationalization, reshaping not just Kuwait, but the global petroleum order. This book reframes the history of labor activism, citizenship, and decolonization in Persian Gulf by centering the history of social movements—especially organized labor. In Comrades Estranged: Labor and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century Persian Gulf (Stanford University Press, 2026), Alex Boodrookas traces how workers and their allies shaped the world-historic transformations witnessed across the region: the consolidation of British sovereignty, formation of autocratic states, inrush of hydrocarbon wealth, onset of decolonization, and rise of both mass migration and mass politics. But unions failed to incorporate noncitizens into their movement, and as Boodrookas argues, this fatally undermined the movements' strength. The contradictions of nationalist and internationalist visions proved insurmountable. Comrades Estranged thus sheds light on both the power, and the limits, of citizenship and the nation-state as the framework for political action. Dr. Alex Boodrookas is Assistant Professor of History at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Dr. Ahmed AlMaazmi is Assistant Professor of History at the United Arab Emirates University.
