From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Yesenia from Arequipa · 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“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“In 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.”
