โNot sure if this makes sense. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember when my grandkids I have never met, like it was yesterday. I picked up the guitar again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Sending love.โ
โIn 2023, that was me. I remember when have not spoken to my parents in four years, like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โIf you are just starting out with family estrangement, I won't pretend it's easy. The silence can be deafening. Some days you will be angry, some days sad, some days you won't feel anything. That's normal. Find one person who believes you, even if it's a friend or a group like this. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Take it one day at a time. And if you have kids, hold them close. You are not alone, even when it feels like it.โ
