I kept reaching out to mine and one day she picked the phone up! I cannot tell you how heartbreaking it is. Keep the faith! To all who are estranged from their child/grandchildren...big hugs

[MeMe-DGAF]

After trying these things for 20 years I am done. Karma says... If you ever feel like you are no longer important to someone...then leave their life silently

[GracenCourage]

I have let go of my two grown children who went no contact with me. After crying for two years, I have decided to buy a farm on the coast of Portugal and I’m just happy like never before.

[jackibrown]

If your adult child ask you to leave them alone, do that. Stop contacting them, let them know you will be there if they want you. Best advice is get busy living your life, try not to dwell on them. Pray for your children. Once they break contact don’t try to force contact at all. Good luck and God bless.

[sweetaking]

I literally feel like I am the parent and my mom is the child. I reach out and it’s just like blankness, empty, hollow responses and no acknowledgment of how I’ve been hurt.

[phyllistouchstone]

My daughter got married to a man that isolated her from everyone. They moved around a lot. So my friend and I would ride around trying to find them. As long as I could see her I knew she was still alive. I always left my door open and just go about my life. I prayed everyday for her. Well when she got enough of this isolation, she got in touch with me to please come get her.

[amyexner]

I don’t care anymore about my estranged daughter; I’m done and I’m happier for it; she is a grownup; and..she will grow old someday as well.

[mikejordan]

Life is too short to wait for anyone to come around! Learn how to move on! They are living their lives and you need to live yours!

[deeasztalos]

What about the parents who decide to estrange from their adult child because you don't want to keep getting hurt? It's not always the parents' fault.

[U_Psalm_]

I didn't have a good relationship with my mother. Though verbal, emotional and physical abuse were part and parcel of my childhood not once did I ever think about cutting her out of my life. I sought therapy to heal myself, to change myself and break the cycle. I vowed not to be my mother to my children. I was blessed with the opportunity to understand my mother. She apologized for all things she said and did. I was blessed to thank her for all the good things she did for me the day before she passed away in 2021.

The crazy thing is, my kids have shut me out of their lives. Funny how life works.

[reeniem]

I can’t speak with my mother again. People know the part both my mother and father played in my life. I tried so hard to communicate and resolve things. Sometimes the hurt really does run that deep. Trust me, some of us really struggle with having to make that decision.

[darleenmcbride]

Also, We lose our grandchildren. It's a lose, lose situation. I miss my grands.😭😭😭😭

[xboxswitch]

No, the answer is no. Leave them be; they do not want to hear from you; they've heard enough. Understand they are doing what is best for them, regardless of anything, you are the parent, respect that and let them be, you can't do it all. Move on.

[CareyCommentary]

I feel sad for my children because they have cut themselves off from a source of love and support. I pray for them and ask for God to be their source of love and support on my place.

[carolynmcintyre]

The hardest part is knowing that your children are going through heartaches financial troubles may be legal troubles troubles with relationships and life troubles and you can't be there for them. You can't be there even to go through it with them. They say you are only as happy as you're unhappiest child.

[KK-rjij]

The question is already wrong. They are not children anymore, they are grown ups with their own lives and sometimes even their own families. If you want to be friends with another grown up, what do you do? You listen, you respect their boundaries, different ideas, you discuss eye to eye topics that you are both comfortable with, you share the things that you are both comfortable with, you say sorry for making mistakes and wait for their forgiveness. Now for most parents this is "too much", and that's where the problems start. Imagine if I would start making videos like "Should I keep reaching out to my neighbours who told me to not bother them?"

[IndianOutlaw]

My mother ostracized me for years. Traumatized me. I left her because she refused to alter her behavior.

[megalou]

My estranged daughter wants nothing to do with me she claims . But her siblings told me that supposedly I made everything worse by not reaching out to her on Xmas. I thought I was respecting her wishes. It’s a game of damned if I do and damned if I don’t . It’s exhausting and I’m not participating in the mind fuc&ery

I'm a dad and In the last year i lost my mom to a brain tumor, i found out i had 2 tumors in my parathyroid and thyroid, lost my job, and had surgery. I didn't get to hear why he left but i know it was what i did and i accept full responsibility because i took my anxiety out on him and over parented and didnt respect his boundaries. I work on myself through therapy, cardiovascular exercise, meditation and yoga. I work on my healing and i try to give myself a break and own the responsibility and model vulnerability. One day he will understand. I miss him, I'm heartbroken, but I'll mend. I love him and i love myself as well.
