- Most of the people who know me are aware that one of my daughters doesn't speak to me. I find more and more often I get asked for advice, as in, "I'm not getting along with my adult son/daughter and I don't want to end up in the same situation you...
- I am dealing with so many other life crises at the moment, I THOUGHT dealing with ED was on the back burner. But I guess it is never too far away. My email account got hacked and junk mail sent to everyone on my contact list. My ED's email address...
- I read in a novel a line about how when you stop being angry, you have accepted a situation. I was angry at my in-laws for the way they have treated us for over 20 years. Finally decided in the last couple of years I have no room in my brain for...
- When she was 14, our now ED picked out a cat at the pound. Cat got left behind when she went to college and became ours. ED is now 29 and the sweet old cat died this morning. Feels like the last piece of my daughter is gone. I'm going to miss that...
- I just added an extension to my web browser called DoNotTrackMe (disconnect.me) which prevents facebook, google, yahoo, twitter, and linkedin from logging the sites you visit. I am aware that you can be on this site with a facebook login. (No thank...
- I really hate it that this estrangement with my daughter seems to affect everything. Negatively. It has been a little over 4 years since the estrangement developed. A few people I eat lunch with at work knew about it--I was a disaster when it first...
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aan1iGv82pII'm sure you saw this delightful teen, someone's beloved daughter, flip off the judge in Miami. I believe (and I teach high school) that this entire generation is utterly selfish. And I don't know what to...
- I REALLY need advice. Estranged from older daughter 4+ years (clueless as to why). Younger daughter still has contact with her sister but is not permitted to tell us anything about her. Younger daughter visited her sister in the summer, lying...
- Unbelievable. I never thought this would happen to me. None of us did. But I read posts from people complaining about their kids in and out and dissing them on Facebook and I wish I had that much. Instead of nothing for 4 years and some months and...

- Haven't been on much lately. Long story short--daughter 1 deceased as an infant. Daughter 2 nursed through many many health problems as small child now estranged for 4 years. Daughter 3 finally going to graduate from college and we help her...
- I am at the age where it seems like I weekly get a call from another friend who is so excited about new or impending grandparenthood. It's really tough to tell them I'm happy for them when I don't even know if I am a grandparent. And likely never...
- Today is ED's birthday. Yesterday was her sister's--the one who is clearly backing away now, despite our total financial support. Friend called to say her son and his wife (son was good friend of ED) had baby boy yesterday. So sad that others have...
- Help. Daughter #2, who we support financially completely (age 26 and working on doctorate--1 year to go), is visiting ED. She did not tell us she was going to do so. I have not been her mother for 26 years to not realize when she is lying to me. I...
- I recently attended a wedding about 100 miles from where my ED lives (800 miles from us). I put her original birth certificate, social security card, baptismal certificate, baby book, grade cards, and swimming medals and trophies in a box and went...
