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
โI've been there. For me it was a few years back. I remember when christmas is the hardest, like it was yesterday. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. xโ
โPlease 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.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
