- I woke up this morning remembering a day, an incident, about a year ago. The girlfriend had moved her sociopathic father into our son's house. This is a house that we bought for him and remodeled over 3 years with him. Girlfriend wouldn't work....
- Nothing quite like randomly running into your only child at a grocery store, and when he sees you, he quickly turns his head away with an "oh shit" expression. Of course, DH and I made light of it. Spoke pleasantly to him. He said, "by the way...
- Just when I was beginning to feel a sense of relief from the grief, inching my way up out of the black hole and feeling a kind of empowerment, it all feels like it's tumbling down again. I guess it's me. I'm feeling bad again, anxious, worthless,...
- When I was cleaning a closet today, I found the newborn little white outfit our only son wore home from the hospital. It is so tiny! Hard to believe that 6'2" man ever fit into that, but he did. I shopped and bought that little outfit especially...
- I've been reading "Free Mother to Good Home." It seems to be a very balanced book for mothers who are estranged from a child. Although, I didn't relate to some of the descriptions that she shares about some mothers, I certainly did relate to...
- Can't find the post where someone recommended this book, but I want to say that it is slowly changing some of my perspectives. I downloaded it to my Kindle and am about halfway through it. I believe I'm going to have to reread it again to let some...
- I was up before dawn this morning reading on this forum. Something someone wrote REALLY stuck with me. It was about how "the silent treatment" is abuse and puts the abuser in the position of control. The more I thought about that, the angrier and...
- Christmas Day 2014. I know that it was a turning point. ES ignored us, ignored our invitations, ignored our "begging" him to spend a little time with us and his grandmother on Christmas Day. Our only child, her only grandchild has thrown us away...
- This is my first experience with being a member on a forum, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. I never know when to write a journal entry or create a discussion topic. I want to wish all of you wonderful people a Merry Christmas, to wish...
- The day I went to the pharmacist to fill my new prescription for Citalopram, I felt like a failure at life and cried the whole time I was in line. I would never have imagined that I would ever need to take an antidepressant medication. Through all...
- Personal Best posted a poem for us:Poem - FINISH LINEThere's nothing more that I can doAnd with each passing dayYour silence as the years go bySays all there is to sayI've taken down your photographsBut I still see your faceFor memories - unlike...
- Our ES is a friend on my Facebook page. He NEVER posts anything himself on his own page. I know that he watches my page every day. He NEVER clicks like on anything I ever post. His crazy girlfriend also creeps my page. Here is the dilemma. ...
- My narcissistic MIL is coming Friday for 3 months. I've always been able to handle her painful visits, but I'm just not sure I can this time. For 33 years, I've put up with her mean spirit toward me. This time, I'm afraid that I'm too brittle to...
- A bit of news on the situation with our estranged only son. We've been alienated because of a narcisstic/sociopathic girlfriend. Our counselor told us that the girl has "targeted" me as the enemy, and that she intended to isolate our son from us...
- I'm curious to know what kind of experiences you've had with other family members' reactions to your child's estrangement.The shunning, ostracism, abandoning... estrangement not only affects us as parents but the rest of the extended family as well....
