I am so sorry. At the beginning of my estrangement from my daughter I had the same sort of reaction. Life did not prepare us for this! Many other life challenges are expected _not welcome but expected _ such as aging and illness and loss of a parent. Our children withdrawing is not expected. I hoped to be loved and cared for in my old age as I cared for them .

I wish I could take away your pain. I can say that it becomes less " crazy feeling" over time.

Please join us in the new group created by Beth Rags , "Parents of Estranged Children" in social groups. She just created it and I found it under social groups but had to type in the name.

I hope that by sharing we can find comfort and strength.
