I have missed my adult child every day for the last 11 years. I miss his laugh, his voice and hearing about his day ( the good, bad and ugly).

I don’t know why I’m even responding because you already have your mind made up about all of us parents. But, not all situations are the same. I love my kids unconditionally and forever and it’s been the worst pain imaginable. I’ve went to counseling, I’ve apologized (even for things I didn’t feel I should have but because it just isn’t worth it) Not only did I give them a great life. They also had my love and even after all of this pain. I would still choose my children. There are so many more dynamics involved and sometimes if the new gf doesn’t like you that you barely met that also has an influence over things. Parents become very disposable. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good life. But, not all estrangements are necessary.

When an individual refuses to consider perspectives outside their own or to revise their beliefs in response to new, credible information, any claim that they are fostering dialogue becomes disingenuous. It reveals a pattern of control rather than communication. One that predictably drives others to disengage out of frustration, exhaustion, or self-preservation. This dynamic is a hallmark of relational breakdown, especially when coupled with the dismissal of objective third-party insights.

oh the hypocrisy, why is it ok for adult children to have a narrative and feelings then share them on social media but not the parents? SOME are legitimate but SOME are not, the one size fits all comments are a form of manipulation. SOME of these parents are just letting these children go and supporting each other.

I’m sorry honey but you are putting everybody in the same box. Every situation is different and we don’t know all the important details. In my case, alcoholism has played a huge role in the estragment. We don’t all want control over our kids. Some of us want them healthy and happy. I am sorry if this is your situation.🙏🏻

There are also other reasons. Some parents treat their children like jewelry. They like being able to show they have children or the idea of being a parent, but do not see or care about their child for who that child actually is as a whole person. Some also expect their kids to care for them as they age, even if those same parents neglected their children. That also happens.

A lot of them had their children as a retirement plan to take care of them when they were old too. And they realize that plan is not going to happen now….

*sigh* not all estrangements are due to bad parents. What about the parents who are estranged due to an abusive partner of the child? We have to be careful of putting all parents and situations in the same boxes with the same labels.

After going no contact my mom posted a bunch of photos of my baby online. Including photos of her in only a diaper. I have a strict “no public photo” rule because we all know the largest demographic who looks at them, and she tried to play the victim and said she only did it because she “misses her” 🤡

My mother moved to the beach when my in-laws moved to so she can have control and make me see her because she now lives there too. Now she’s even more mad that I don’t come see her. It’s all about control.

Every video of an estranged parent on this site is like watching someone do a rehearsal for a soap opera.

Stop talking!!!!!!!! I have to post shit to try to tell her I miss her and love her. I wish people would stop grouping each situation as one. It is never one persons fault. I am so angry with people like you.

It's why they always say it starts in teen years too because that's when you really want to find your own identity and they get aggressive about keeping control.. They don't love you, they love their idea of who they want you to be to make THEM look good. They never saw you as your own person
