- I have been having a LOT of contact with my formerly estranged elder daughter in the last few months, over her Dad (my ex) who has early onset dementia, it has only come on really badly in the last few months, and I have been doing a lot of...
- I have posted a few times on here asking advice and always received really good counsel from all you good ladies and gents. As some of you may recall, I was out of touch with my elder daughter for a good few months, and then since Xmas, we have...

- I thought I would just check in and let you know how I am doing. My reconciliation with my ED is proceeding SLOWLY - we have not seen each other since last September, but now are working on our relationship again We exchange friendly emails, some...
- I wrote a few days ago in my thread "Two steps forward one step back" on here - about the issues around my ED and my ExH going to my other daughter's wedding in 3 weeks time....
- Well, up until a couple of weeks ago, my relationship with my erstwhile estranged daughter had been steadily improving since Xmas - we spoke at least once a week on the phone. However, there are 2 sources of stress looming - my other daughter is...
- I have looked in the Help section and can't find anything about it. Sometimes I post something and then realise either that there are mistakes in it, or that I want to add something. The other sites I belong to - you can do this for about 15...
- Yes, it's a looong way ahead. However, I have learned to be patient, and in a way, I don't want to see her either, until I feel ready. We are trying to repair our relationship, but we are both cautious and are both taking it very, very slow. We...
- Hi everyone - I posted recently that I wouldn't be in so much - as my daughter and I are slowly mending our relationship, it appears. She has phoned me once every week for the last month, and we have had civilised conversations on all those...
- My ED phoned me yesterday. After some small talk about my grandsons, she said she wanted to tell me she appreciated all the help I have given her for the last 2/3 yrs during her divorce. But she felt she needed to stand on her own two feet now. ...
- I started writing this post as a response to the above thread on abusive parents, but then I thought it would be better to begin a new thread, rather than hi-jack that thread. I am an adult child of abusive parents - they did not sexually or...
- As I said in my previous thread, "Some contact but ambivalent" I am having a little contact with my ED and my little grandsons by Skype. But am not really able to take any pleasure in this yet, I still feel too raw. I realise that not many folk on...
- Well, my ED contacted me on Xmas Eve by phone and asked if we wanted to Skype with the grandsons, aged 5 and 2. Of course I said yes, so me and my husband (her step Dad) did a Skype for about 15 minutes which eventually had to come to an end...
- Nearly 2 weeks ago I took a phone call from my ED. First proper call since our estrangement began a few months ago. It wasn't the easiest call but at least it was contact. We left it that she would call again if and when she felt inclined. I...
- I really appreciated the good advice etc I was given last week on joining this group. But it is getting near Christmas now, and I know (because she told me) that my ED is not going to be visiting over Christmas, (they live 3 hrs drive away) nor...
