  1. Familial estrangement is not a new phenomenon. It just looked different with our own parents and their parents; In my own experience, it's very common for adults my mothers and fathers age (50's) to not see their parents except on holidays like Christmas, they don't call or message their parents every day, or even every week, they often live far from their parents as well. That is how their generation has decided to distance and deal with their own trauma...

  4. Does anyone have any insight on proving estrangement from a parent? Or the situations where that may be necessary?

    Short backstory: my mother is very mentally ill and continues to refuse help. I worry she'll end up in a facility full time without the means to pay for it. I'm in Wisconsin and from my very basic research, it seems like I'm in a state that won't force me to take responsibility, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, ya know?

  8. Really love today's newsletter. Started off as one thing but ended up being something else, and I love that process. I love starting something and following the thread until I find a message, it's my favourite way to write.

    This one is about boundaries, closure and a little about family estrangement.

    2nd Most Hated 'seasonal' Question:
    "So will you be spending time with family?"

    No, no I will not!
    (This answer would be met with an Extremely Alarmed expression!)

    Because we're estranged, because they are really damaging people and I choose to spend my time with people who love me, and treat me well.

    I feel like I should retreat into a cave during December to avoid these questions... !!!

  12. CW: Thanksgiving/holidays season, family estrangement

    Also, if you are one of the lucky ones with great families, it's worth keeping this in mind when talking with people whose life experiences are different:

  13. CW: Thanksgiving/holidays season, family estrangement

    @ElenaHung202 on twitter: "May this holiday weekend land gently for those with estranged family. And a reminder that chosen family is just as real and valid as blood family."

    A reminder that it is also okay to be alone during the holidays; you can be a good person and still not have chosen/found family, or close enough friends to spend holidays with.

    Be kind to yourself, you matter.
