Hello
I joined this forum primarily to find others who are estranged from their adult children.

I raised my two children alone and until a few years ago we were very close. As I became less available to them due to illness they have withdrawn. Worse really.

I'm very confused and never expected this as I and their stepfather have been generous and loving for years. If anyone can shed light on this situation I would appreciate it

. I feel alone and ashamed as I imagine that only bad parents are treated in this way. I was far from perfect but they both acknowledge that I have always been a loving and dependable mother.

I'm at a loss as to what to do.
