[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694974, member: 1550"] I dont ever believe an estrangement is for the good unless the adult child was seriously abused and it is a safety issue. Her daughter knew why she couldn't reach her mother. She knew she had been violent. She knew it had not been her mother's fault that she had to leave and she could have written a letter to her mother or a trusted relative. We want our adult kids to do well, but not to cut us out. I do think the daughter will contact her mother. I hope so. To me, there is nothing strong about estranging somebody that we know loves us. Sorry. Have had it happen and its sbout the cruelest act one can do to somebody else. It is strong to admit you were wrong and to reach out to those you wronged. It is weak to run away. That's how I see it. Gone boy is very successful. I don't think he is strong. My mother was weak. So we will have to see this differently. Once you are estranged, you realize how incredibly cruel it is...and weak.
