From the renowned Canadian authors of the mega-bestseller The Myth of Normal. A fresh start with your parent—or your adult child—begins when you change your relationship to the relationship.

What happens when the people who shaped you, or the ones you shaped, are the very ones you can’t seem to reach—or can’t bear to be close to anymore?
In Hello Again, physician and trauma expert Gabor Maté joins his son Daniel Maté to illuminate the uniquely charged bond between parents and their adult children—a relationship defined by love, history, and an imbalance of power that never fully disappears.
Drawing on decades of clinical insight, hard-won personal experience, and their widely attended workshops, the Matés show why this “set menu, no substitutions” relationship so often becomes the site of recurring misunderstandings, resentment, withdrawal, or explosive conflict—even when both sides genuinely want things to be better.
This book doesn’t promise a tidy reconciliation or a “happy ending.” Instead, it offers something more realistic and more hopeful: a fresh start—whether that means rebuilding closeness, establishing steadier boundaries, or finding peace at a distance.

Inside you’ll find:
  • A clear map of why the parent/adult-child bond is uniquely triggering—and why it’s also uniquely repairable
  • Parent and adult-child “prototype” patterns that reveal what’s really happening beneath the argument
  • Practical tools to pause, self-regulate, and communicate without collapsing into old roles
  • Boundary guidance that protects dignity and safety without hardening into punishment
  • A realistic approach to accountability, grief, and forgiveness without self-erasure

For anyone who has ever thought, “I love them—so why is this so hard?”, Hello Again is a wise, steady companion toward clearer seeing, truer connection, and lasting change.
