The path

In 2009 the daughter estrangement started. In 2013 I joined this group. For 4 years I struggled with my wife to understand how and why this could happen. This group helped me understand that I am not alone, that there is no explaination, that estrangement happens.

I read my early posts and see anger, betrayal, and hurt. I have come to think of my relationship with my daughter as grief. Grief has a cycle with anger being part of it.

Now 2018, I am moving more toward acceptance. She is gone, I need to focus on the parts of my life that are still there.
