Introducing: This Is Why We Fight. A Mother & Daughter Estranged For Years.

All Samantha wants is to understand why her mother wasn't there for her. All Marie wants is a chance to make things right with her daughter — and to be part of her granddaughter's life. But after years of distance, hurt, and misunderstanding, can a fractured bond ever truly be repaired? In this session, a mother and daughter confront the truths left unspoken, ask the questions long avoided, and search for a small patch of common ground on which to rebuild their relationship.
