Family Estrangement

Family Estrangement

Last night the subject on Insight - on SBS - was about Family Estrangement

I found this interesting - it is being shown again today at 3.00 pm and it is usually shown again over the weekend - when I find out what time I will put this up on this thread

So many people here are suffering because of family estrangement and I am one of those people - though I left my family of origin behind for the sake of my mental health as many other people have -

And many people here have the same problems with family

I am not good at tagging - it anyone else would like to add other people please feel free to do so - in fact I hope other people help me out here

I hope other people find this programme as supportive as I have

Re: Family Estrangement

This is very timely for me and others im sure.

I was just about to put up a post about my children (35 & 39 years). They completely ostrisize me. They are embarressed about my mental health problems.Ihave CPTSD & depression. My heart bleeds when i think of them and my grandchildren. I wish i just heard from them every now and then.
