Visit my Substack (link below) reflecting on online groups where parents gather when their adult children choose estrangement (spoiler or trigger alert they can get dark). Immature parenting rears its head in these places. Also covered is the fact healing from estrangement is a non-linear journey marked by grief, hope, and personal growth that has to happen inside us whether reconciliation happens or not.
The anguish is never far from my heart but I’m focusing on mending through therapy, nature, traveling, and meeting new people.
