Newbie but not to estrangement

@Flippityflop,

I am really sorry you are hurting now. It seems like your pain is still so raw. I really felt the words as I read them.

You can never be replaced as a mother. In adulthood, our children form different bonds with different people, but nothing erases the time you brought your child up.

While I cannot say I am personally fully estranged, I can say that I understand the far-reaching consequences of family fracture. I am living it. Sometimes we need an outlet to get all the feelings out without judgement or personal bias from the listener. I know you have tried counselling, but perhaps a different therapist can help. They are like anything else in life where one may not fit but you another will.

I truly wish you the best. This season can be so hard when families are broken. I hope you can take even a small amount of comfort in those relationships that are still intact.

You can never be replaced as a mother that's lovely BlessedArt and so true.

I'm sorry you are also living with family fracture. It's not what anyone ever envisages happening to their family .

It can take time to find the right therapist for you Flipityflop so don't give up.

Utterly unbelievable that people could hijack a threat about Estranged parents/grandparents and make cruel and callous comments. Keyboard warriors and their actions say more about them and their cruel minds.. And if their mature women then even more shame on you.
