- Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask for advice. Here's my quandary: Next month, my half-brother's daughter, whom I've only met twice when she was a wee child, is visiting this country from Europe. I don't have much of a relationship with...
- Interesting study, with our (sort of) estranged son, we had a running joke that whatever we did, he would do the opposite. We are non-smokers, he smokes. We are atheists, he has decided he is a Christian. We try to eat healthy, he lives on soda and...
- It's been over a year since ES showed up to reconcile with us, after 3 years of silence and no contact. Husband and I were both hesitant (I quite a bit more than he), but then decided to go ahead and give it a chance. Initially, there was much...
- This is a really great article, finally a different perspective from the Dr. Coleman's (humiliate yourselves until your poor kids forgive you because it's all your fault) out there. Here's a quote: "In other words, family estrangement is complex,...
- Have any of you watched this? We watched for the first time tonight, really good, funny, quirky movie about family estrangement and reluctant efforts to reconcile. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Though the main character is an ED and...
- So, we returned from vacation, to a voice mail from ES (who had stopped by to say he wants to mend things just before we left). He said he just wanted to check if we were back yet and wanted to get together. Hubby called him and invited him over for...
- He talked and talked and talked. First contact in almost 4 years except for the letter he left in our mailbox months ago, basically trying to explain things. There was no contact info in the letter, which i asked him about. He said he meant to...
- ES left a long letter in our mailbox, no address, no telephone number, so no way to contact him. He apologized for his actions and explained some things we weren't aware of. He wants to make amends to everyone he wronged so "for once, I (he) can...
- but have to totally agree with what he said:“Just because someone shares some DNA with you they get to take your stuff? Call you names? Demean you? Sabotage your relationships and career? No way!” Dr. Phil McGrawHope everyone is having a happy...
- There is estrangement in both hubby's and my side of the family. On my side, my father had a very tenuous, sometimes even hostile, relationship with his mother and brothers. At one time, it turned into an estrangement for a while. They all...
- Very interesting article, below an excerpt. Full article is at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/health/13mind.html?_r=0But there is little, if anything, in peer-reviewed journals about the paradox of good parents with toxic children.Another...
- Sis-in-law, who has 4 kids and several grandkids, as well as lots and lots of inlaws on her husband's side (and they all get along very well), keeps posting pics about all the family activities on facebook. There are excursions and get-togethers...
- This is a link to an article from the Daily Mail tabloid I meant to post ages ago, actually, last year, ugh. Just came across it while cleaning out computer stuff and as it's still relevant, decided to post it. I agree with some of the statements,...
- A while back, hub and I decided that we are done and not open to any more reconciliation attempts, should ES even attempt any. We decided this after at least 4 that always started and ended up the same way: ES contacted us, either by phone or showed...
- How many of you have EC's whose behavior is definitely off and has been for a long time, but yet, every child psychiatrist/psychologist you took them to while they were growing up told you they are perfectly normal? And you know that can't be true...
