Thank you so much for sharing your story. I relate to a lot of what you've written even though our situations are different. I became estranged from my alcoholic mom a few years ago and it's been challenging because my kids had a relationship with her. I tried to support some connection between them but it became increasingly difficult as addiction progressed.
I've been craving stories from other people who are estranged. Reading this was very validating. I'll definitely check out those books you mentioned, too.
Hi, Katharine! Thank you for reading. I'm sorry to hear that you can relate to Julia's story; I can, too. I hope this space continues to support your need for more stories, to make you feel less alone.
