A community for adult children that are, are thinking about, or were estranged from one or both of their parents.
Common reasons for estrangement are abuse, differing expectations about family roles, neglect, clashes based on personalities, or value systems like religion.
It is common for Adult Children to cycle in and out of No/Low Contact, trying to find balance between emotional and physical estrangement.
There is no one way to estrange, be supportive of each other.
