She cut all contact after I was IP almost 3 years ago. I'm devastated. Writing to her by post was the only communication I had with her. Now I don't even know her address. I still don't know why she's so angry at me, only that her therapist encourages her to go "no contact" for whatever reason(s).

In all of my years of being a mom the one thing I never expected was that one of my kids would stop contact with me. My heart is very heavy.
I am so sorry that she's cut off contact even further with this move.

I can't even imagine how heart breaking this is for you.

I don't know if this would help but maybe continue to write letters and just keep them in a box of some sort maybe the day will come when she's ready to start repairing the relationship and she might want to read them? or if not read just see that you have written her letters all along..

Please be gentle with yourself. Does your T have any advice on how to somehow try and cope with all this ???
