Estrangement

 
 
 Hi,
 My son walked out my life and my families life about a year ago,i was so close to my son,
  but he lived with his mam and stepdad,and over a period of years he became distance from me,
 it was always hard to keep a relationship with my son,as he lived with his mam,the hardest thing is i was a good father and tried to appease him all the time.
 Has any one got any comfort they could share.

Hi Paul. The only comfort I have found is knowing I am not alone and I am not the monster estrangement makes me out to feel.
The only advise I want to tell you is to keep communication open. It\'s been over 4 years now since I\'ve seen or heard from my only son. It has all but killed me.

Thanks, mozz... It is their loss. We (you and I both) would have done anything for our boys.. And they have to know what they mean to us, how bad this hurts us. I dont know how they can sleep at nite.
