- Was on daily strength - glad there is one for parents of estranged children who are also Chrisitians. Welcome the support that we can give each other through our faith.Trusting God to carry us through.
- This morning, after reading a post, I began to think abou the concept of how we can open or close a door or if we can have a revolving door instead with our EC and with others in our lives.I've shut the door in anger and hurt to my EC and recently...
- New to this site. Caring for parent alone. Was caring for other parent who passed on couple months ago. Before either parent was dead, my siblings have been pressuring me to get in their house and get their belongings and get to their bank accounts....
- Aside from my EC, I now have taken over caring for my elderly parent, my other parent just passed on months ago. Now I'm facing pressure from my other siblings while one of parents is still alive they want to get in my parent's house (which is on...
- I had to go over the post on Dealing with Estrangement point by point to come to terms with it for myself.-Yes, there are no perfect storybook families because humans are not perfect beings. My relationship with my parents was not perfect, but I...
- Been a while since I've been on this site.My EC showed up for a very brief visit and felt out if I had any money for an item EC wanted. I didn't offer any money. Instead, gave EC family picture of a deceased family member. My EC then turned around...

- I wonder if they have any feelings left or any conscience left? Will they ever regret all the time they lost without US in their lives? I wonder if they will look back and wish they would've stopped turning us away? I wonder if they will ever think...
- Got an email from my EC addressed to me and my family asking for financial help with a school program. Found out it was ligitimate from the school. Asked EC to provide statement from school so that afterwards we could send $$ to the school to help...
- Seems like some of these EC's only contact us when they need $$$$ or only when they need something period. Or is it that the younger generation is self-centered? Oh well, guess we can take it one request at a time and see how we want to respond....
