I have started a group, but am having difficulty navigating it. Really frustrating. But for those of us who are parents grieving an adult child who has chosen to estrange him/her self, let's talk and start support by first giving a basic introduction of who we are.
-----------------------------------------------

My name is Beth. I have been married for over 30 years. That said, my husband and I don't live together (we live 1 mile from each other). He is a Vietnam veteran and although we are dear friends, living together was just too difficult. We were living in the same home, however, while raising our children.

I am 57 years old and was a stay-at-home mom while my children were growing up. I absolutely loved my occupation; having a family was all I've ever wanted in my life. My adult children are now 34 (daughter) and 31 (son).

I share my home with my 5 precious cats.
