We take registrations on faith and assume that most of them are from parents who are estranged from their adult children. That's certainly our target audience but we don't intend to exclude anyone as long as they are respectful, so that could include the adult children themselves or people with a professional interest in estrangement.

Please feel free to take a look. It has just been launched so there isn't much activity yet, but it's clear that this is a huge, largely hidden problem and I hope people in my situation will discover it and find it useful.

Is this restricted to estranged parents or do you have contributions from those who are the ones who estranged?

I have been estranged from my adult children for almost 3 years, following a difficult divorce. I understand the pain this causes, which has driven me close to suicide.

Recently, I started up a discussion forum for people like me. I did so, simply because there is so little support out there. It's 100% free and there is no gated content. I don't want your money, I simply want to create a friendly community that offers self-support to the millions of people going through this.

If that is of interest to you, you can find us at:
