[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694978, member: 18958"] But SWOT who was estranged? Who was shunned? Both the mother and the daughter feel they were shunned by the other. Were they really? If anything, Lyra went no contact with her daughter--but she did it to protect her family and herself. And her daughter--when she tried to get into contact with her family--felt shunned by them. Was she really? Would her parents have accepted her if they knew she was in trouble and not doing drugs? I believe they would have. SWOT. You know that I believe that cutting off family is the most hurtful of things. And I did it. I cannot forgive myself. I do not believe that estrangement is good. If I could go back and change it, I would. The reality in my case was that my mother was, I think, the one who did not want to be around me. Because I was mad. She could not tolerate my anger at her. She never tried to call or write. Not one time. Only to tell me my father was dead. And my father was cruel and a horrible drunk. He was a degraded sadist. So did I really shun him or save myself? I would never minimize the pain of being cut off by a child. I believe it is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. Probably worse than losing a child to death. [/QUOTE]
