@melissajbyrnex: We are almost at that point. Approaching 6 years ago, when I said enough to the woman who birthed me. The woman who should’ve loved me for exactly who I am. I’m feeling some kinda way this time around. I’m not sure what it is, but I know I’ll figure it out. Thank you for being here, becoming such a pivotal part of my journey & providing the safest of spaces to be more open than I ever have in my life. Estrangement is a funny old thing but I hope you know, you’re never alone. 🫶🏼

makes me so sad reading this.... yesterday was my sons 31st birthday and he hasn't spoken to me in over a year, I always wonder how he explains it to his people. Always a heartbroken Mumma.

So proud of you Mel. I think some people assume it’s easy and that life just moves on and you walk into the sunset, when in reality, it’s so much more. It’s freedom, grief, confidence, autonomy, hope of things to be different and hope that the wounds will heal, hope someday they will realise and work on themselves and the reality that will likely never happen. The complications of having mutual friends and family members. Acceptance of who you are, who they are and of the situation as a whole. It’s learning to trust your own judgment, stand by your boundaries, it’s loss. It’s the birth of new connections. It’s a new chapter that has good and bad and more chapters appear as you go along. I was estranged from my parents for years, luckily my mother realised the harm she had caused through the time and distance. Had she not reflected and been honest and open and apologised, that would not have happened. Both of my parents are gone now but i still have complicated emotions attached to them. Most of the time, although we reconciled, life is simpler, i no longer have to worry about what they will think, say or do and occasionally (rarely) i miss them. Growing up without support taught me how to be independent so i haven’t really felt like i need them for anything, to teach any life lessons but when times are hard, sometimes i just want them briefly, not to say or do anything but just to have the comfort of their presence which is also complicated because even when they were alive, sometimes that was available and other times it wasn’t. Love to anyone else dealing with abusive parents and are going through anguish of whether to cut contact or not and for those who have cut contact. It’s not easy and i am so sorry, so many people are affected by this. ❤️

Just starting this journey…. It has been brewing for what feels like all my life. I read a quote lately that said I thought I was having a I need my mum moment but it was actually a I need a mum moment the realisation she was never and never will be the mum I needed or deserved Is a hard pill to swallow but I’ll get there day by day ♥️

Estrangement is a type of grief and it's not linear. You take care lovely lady!

I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to have to walk away. You sharing your story and being so upfront and honest must be so reassuring for people in similar positions - thank you for being you xx
