Dearest Natalaylay

Estranged relationships are absolutely terrible especially when there seems like there’s no hope in reconciling BUT if my situation can help anyone then I’ll gladly speak out.

My Mother and I have had a complicated relationship ever since my parents divorced. It was an ugly one and unfortunately I was brought into it.

Since then, I’ve healed to a point but recently I was able to find her account on here (after realizing she blocked all of my older accounts) and it all came flooding back.

I’ve been stable mentally for 2 years now and am thankful for my faith and support system, but it still hurts. I thought and was given a false hope when I found her account so I reached out and unfortunately for some reason she’s not replying. This is very typical of her. Although it sucks I’m thankful I reached out and did my part. However, now another part of my healing journey begins. I know I can get through this, and so can you - if you’re going through something similar! Don’t lose hope. Forgive them and keep praying! I know that’s what I’m going to focus on. I’m also going to work on feeling the emotion of anger more often, because I’ve really only ever thought it was a negative emotion and I guess I’ve buried it within me. Ugh.

Does anyone have any tips, tricks or advice? Once I collect everything I may have to blog about this! Who would be interested in that? 🫶🏻✨
