@melissajbyrnex: It’s been a while since we sat down and just had a good old chat. 6 years on from cutting out my mum and my stepdad - here’s what I’ve learnt along the way. Estrangement is not something we ever anticipate but it is, the only way out for so many. 🫶🏼
Thank you for this video, Mel. I needed to hear this as it’s three years no contact for me this week. You are amazing … and brave … and an inspiration to others who understand. I have been a follower from the very early days and your life transformation has been amazing to see. I am so happy for you. ♥️

I had gone 4 years until a few months ago when a family death brought things up... it was everything I had expected it to be like so am now back on month 2... everything you say makes so much sense to me and you put in words what I have never been able to. your estrangement series was super helpful. Thank you xx

I get it 💗 I'm okay most of the time but for years I was soooo sad. I've been no contact for 11 years, now I feel mostly anger, I get sad on my birthday every year and also when I reach milestones like when I got married, had kids (having children was so triggering for me, moving house etc, going on holiday for the first time. And I hate social media on mother's day and fathers day they're literally the most depressing days and when I see mother's tagged in memes or posts about being a best friend and mother daughter relationships online.

I'm at the point of my no contact that I'm not as direct in it that I knew to my core that what I was doing was right and the direct reasons/pinpointed reasons as to why I cut contact. I do sort of feel guilty/have some thought to reach out again, and again, more at the beginning I knew wholeheartedly that if I did I would go back on all the progress I'd made and would need to be the strongest I'd ever been to keep on top of things and it'd be exhausting. I still haven't got back in touch as I know my mum would expect things to go back how they were/like nothing had changed or she'd throw it back in my face for what I'd done, and she's become even worst with my sister, even to the point my sister is now getting to the point of blocking her/being in absolute bits about how she's being treated. I'm trying to support her as best as possible and undo the little mum voice in her head.
