From people who came through it
“Please be getnle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I started saying no to things and it made a big difference. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Aaliyah from Columbus · been through family estrangement“I've been there. For me it was a few years back. I remember when my grandkids I have never met, like it was yesterday. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
Salvatore from Parma · been through family estrangement“If 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.”
guitarautumn · been through family estrangement“Dear stranger, i was in the same place this time last year. My daughter cut contact and will not say why. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Praying for you.”
