Its really not.

Its just like, "try to listen."

Except the real solution they don't present is "maybe have introspection about how you became a hate monger Nazi from watching Fox News lies constantly and that might be why your child hates you."

Actually listening is the first step few take.

Most cut off parents have been told repeatedly what they're doing wrong

"I really tell our parents … if you're 100% perfect, great … but most parents have done something wrong, something that they want to change. And if they want a relationship with their child, they are going to have to change some things."

You are assuming it's the only reason people cut off their parents.
