From people who came through it

  • โ€œDear 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.โ€

  • โ€œI'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€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was where you are in 2022. I remember hearing about family news secondhand like it was yesterday. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œIf 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€
