Navigating Parental Estrangement

As I have alluded to previously, this is a subject that touches my life. I’m not yet ready to be so vulnerable and open in public but I will in time, with the understanding that I won’t do or say anything assigning any blame. I made mistakes and I am living with the results of the choices I made, I’m to blame, but I need to move past , well, no, I need to move forward with this, the anchor around my neck. I can’t imagine it ever getting any lighter so the time to discuss it is now I suppose.
Parental estrangement is when a parent and their child have a significant and often prolonged rift in their relationship. It’s like a big emotional gap between them, where they might not talk to each other or have very limited contact. This can happen for various reasons, like conflicts, misunderstandings, or even unresolved issues from the past. It’s a tough situation for both the parent and the child, and it often involves a lot of hurt feelings and sadness. I won’t get into my story in too much detail, but its fair to say I have knowledge in the subject and I am looking for my tribe of other people who share this horrible impactful experience. I’m seeking understanding and connection with others who have gone through similar situations. It’s natural to want to find a community where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Join us!
