- Our estrangement reconciled and now semi estrangement continues. A couple weeks ago my son's college was on a 3 hour delay so he showed up here early in the morning. We were surprised to see him but when he saw our daughter was also on a 3 hour...
- So my son called me yesterday to let me know he won't be attending service on Mother's day, also my 40th birthday weekend. He's decided instead to go with his wife to a friend's graduation because this university is so anti-family and anti-church...
- Our family day came and went last Saturday. We went to a Children's museum a couple hours away. At the last minute my son told us they were driving up in their own car and not riding with us. This upset my daughter as she planned to make a video of...
- So far so good, our son got his refund first and took some pressure off him, we'll get ours next week so that worked out nicely. There's been a few more calls that went well but were kept to a limit, not too lengthy. So, that's going well. I'm still...
- This week my son and his wife have been sick, and stressed over waiting on the tax refund that they desperately need. I called my son yesterday to tell him how to check for updates. He was tense, annoyed, short in answers and I could tell he was...
- We struggled to have our daughter, lots of fertility issues and so it was a comfort to find a fertility forum to share that journey. After many years of trying and after joining that site long into that journey I saw something happening more and...
- My story is different than most here in that my estrangement is only 4 months along. There was very limited contact until mid December, and then my son and his wife came over on Christmas evening for a brief visit. There were still no real signs...
- Today I'm feeling sick, throat hurts, head hurts, just feel sick from the chest up. Sick of the cold from the last several days, unusually cold this year compared to normal as it's a coastal city. Ears aching and just wishing I was rich and could...
- Today was a hard day for no real reason. I was on fb and thinking a bit about what I'll be posting tomorrow night just before New Years and it was something along the line of how much has happened in 2015 with my son getting married, gaining a...
- Another thread restarted a conversation my husband and I had over the summer when my son was getting to his worse. We'd always thought that should something happen to us we'd automatically leave custody of our daughter to our son but we are no...
- I initiated the estrangement a couple months ago and have worked to keep my distance. My son and daughter in law showed up after 5 pm on Christmas. Our daughter was very excited they were here so we allowed them to stay a little while. My son was...
- My husband called our son a few days before our cruise to tell him to come over in the next 3 days to see my parents who were here from out of state to dog sit. We paid for them to travel half way across the country in order to not have to ask him...
- So, around 11 pm the cell phone rang and my husband answered it, it was my son. We haven't talked in nearly a month and only briefly saw each other in church Sunday before last. My husband asked if I wanted to take the call, I hesitated but took it...
- So I am 3 weeks into this estrangement with my son but the strained relationship has lasted for months. I saw him for the first time last Sunday morning as they decided to attend church and had gotten there early. We've recently moved farther away...
- I live with secret pain behind a fake smile and only completely positive fb posts. When people ask how the happy couple are, I lie as if everything is perfect and I'm the happiest mother and mother in law that I could be. You see, while my son is...
