- This evening I was thinking about people and how if you were to have to describe someone in only three words what words would you use?ExamplesDH: Kind, smart, funnyBFF: Loyal, fun, entertainingDD: Smart, hardworking, self centered (see no...
- ES is 43 years old today. Funny I just realized it! I must be making progress. I was thumbing through the site for past posts of Greg7 just to be reminded what we will be missing and found a quote he had placed by another author: Take Dr....

- I am going to a memorial service for a neighbor in a few hours. My mean, nasty faced, emotionally void, ego driven, arrogant 42 year old estranged adult son will likely attend.Prepping mentally for the encounter:1. I have done nothing wrong the...
- Well there may be another one of us moving away from a nasty-faced EAC! We have an offer in on our house. We will be sending back a counter-offer today! It’s funny my motivations for moving are many : New adventure, city verses country, old...
- I’m just a little curious: For those of us who have an ES, and feel as though it is at the least an estrangement partially encouraged/promoted by a DIL, have things ever changed if a son and DL gets divorced or separated? Wondering if anyone...
- As much as I love my two photographs being the 'only' ones you see when you go to this site...how 'bout some of you folks putting some photos up too? I selected photographs of two of the things that I enjoy having fun with the most....my dog and...
- Maybe 2012 is the year I eliminate people who do not “get my back”. Those who ride-the-fence and try to ‘stay friends’ with everyone. Three and a half years into this estrangement and I am still being “abused” (though not physically...
- My ES called one of my daughters (not estranged) to meet for lunch today. She told me in advance of their planned meeting. She is supportive of me and has told him in the past “I think you are wrong…I would never estrange any member of my...
- Okay let’s all take a collective breath. The holidays seem to have made us all wig-out a bit. Some of us more than others. It’s just another month and day. We are all moms and dads here. I know we all hurt. We all have to remember this...
- In 2008 at Xmas time I was in the fetal position. In 2009 I was holding out hope and praying for a Xmas miracle. Last year, in 2010, I planned a holiday with friends and felt such sadness about distance between me and my ES, and hoped that the New...
- I posted this as a reply on another group board but wonder if you folks have an opinion on this:I think estrangement can be part of family history. Much like the taboo of suicide is lifted once a family member commits suicide, the...
- Even with my ES situation I am fortunate enough to have two daughters who are not estranged. We get along well. By 'well' I mean we talk, we laugh, they disagree with me, I disagree with them, they ask for advise (that they often don't take), we...
- Sometimes I hate my ES. I wish I could just blow him off, erase him from my mind, be indifferent toward him and forget he exists, but I don’t seem to be able to. I know that hate is a strong word but I find myself hating him: His attitude. His...
