Susan, I feel your pain! I’m so sorry! I used to feel this same way everyday also. Then one day I realized I had to find joy in my life amongst sorrow for the rest of my family. It wasn’t fair to them or to me really. Sometimes there’s nothing else we can do, but to hand it to God. We never ever thought we would be here either! Unfortunately sometimes we can’t control who they’re with or marry either. It is the biggest heartbreak of our lives. 💔
It’s hard to reach out when they have your messages muted. I also sent him a birthday card and got zero response. I give up. He knows how to reach me if he wants to. I’m no longer subjecting myself to the humiliation and cruelty.
Here we go again. Being the ones to reach out first when they wanted the estrangement. Being in the late 71s and knowing tomorrow not promised to anyone shows they dont really care. That speaks volumes. Be in peace knowing that for them not to reach out is ok and trust their decisions vs reaching out and having the doors closed again. Know that the relationship will never be the same regardless. Be in peace. Seems estrangement within families is the now thing. Sad.
Reach out with a letter or letters. Express as much as you can to them as if it's the last communication you will have with them because i might be. Then leave them in Gods hands. Thats the best thing for all concerned. Maranatha.
I had a great communication with my son. At least that’s my assumption now. My son relationship with his mom is very volatile. ..unfortunately. On this particular day, he had one of the many fights? Nothing new, but he decided to cut off ties with his mom. He went quiet, I tried to call him, texting, email etc. .. 6 to 9 months. My son never replied, it’s 10 years since we last spoke. Time just flew by. Until today (Oct 10, 2024), I have no idea? My guess his mom & husband ( ex friend) bad mouth me. It’s supposed, he has cut ties with me too. It’s 10 years, it’s obvious that I’m worth nothing to him. It’s just one more nail to the coffin. No hard feelings, but I wouldn’t waste my life for anyone, to proof innocent as judgement is already served. I’m ok with it, let go & move on. Someone out there is worse of than me. God bless everyone

Hi Sally! Thank you so much for sharing these with us! I’m a single dad going through some estrangement things and wonder if I could use that phone consult. I raised both my kids alone for the last 20 years so I consider myself “half mom” too hehe.
Mine is my older son who has also struggled with mental illness. Right now I feel like I am being punished for telling him his doctors were right and taking his meds.
