Thank you for the support & encouragement! I am lucky to have a very supportive husband who has no idea what to do or say! My girlfriends are amazingly supportive but aren't able to help me move forward & I don't expect them to. This platform has been a real life raft but also makes me realize the incredible amount or damage, hurt & the extent of the cults reach into our families & our world! I don't feel comfortable contacting local groups because I know how it's a no go topic &Australia is even more woke, left & trans crazy than anywhere else. It is easier that my girl lives in Canada so I am able to deal with the estrangement on a practical level. Christmas was melt down level but it passed. I love all of you wonderful people who are willing to share & be vulnerable on here! Please know that you are all in my heart & I may your life be full of love and happiness!

I’m glad you have your husband and supportive friends. That really helps. If you ever feel like you might want more support from a small, private community, or to join a coaching course to help navigate the grief and the depression, you might want to check out https://estrangedparents.me

She developed a 6 week course that I found immensely helpful, and she just started a new session this week.

In any case, be good to yourself, and to your spouse. It’s a rocky road for sure. ❤️
