Pascual Ortuño addresses, with sensitivity and rigor, the most painful situations that parents can face: from abandonment and contempt to parent-child violence and the consequences of divorce. The work not only denounces the silent suffering of many parents but also invites children to reflect, reminding them that the cycle of life will also turn them into caregivers. A necessary essay that sheds light on a complex and often invisible social reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores filial ingratitude through ten chapters that examine concrete cases of family conflict. From children who return home after a divorce to those who, due to addictions or mental disorders, turn coexistence into a living hell. It also analyzes situations such as gender-based violence, the instrumentalization of grandchildren, the abandonment of elderly parents, or children with disabilities. Each chapter combines sociological reflection with testimonials and psychological analysis, offering a complete view of how the most essential bonds are fractured. The author does not judge, but rather seeks to understand the dynamics that lead to estrangement and proposes a call for intergenerational empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBreakdown of the parent-child bond and its deep-seated causes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eParent-child violence and conflicts in coexistence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConsequences of divorce on the relationship with children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAbandonment and loneliness of parents in old age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDrug addiction, mental illness, and their family impact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe instrumentalization of grandchildren as a weapon of punishment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReflection on reciprocity and the life cycle between generations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at parents who have experienced or fear estrangement from their children, as well as psychology, sociology, and social work professionals who work with complex family dynamics.
