at the top of our posts hit "Forums" and you should be able to see all the topics. Look for one that says "Parents Alienated…." it will bring up a lot of topics you can get help from.
Please let me know if you are able to get into these.

My estrangement is fairly new-my son came to my home town at xmas with his family. They come here every 2 years and stay at his inlaws. He usually sees me with the family at least 1 evening or sometimes 2 evenings the week he is in. this time he never called me and whe i called there all I got was voice mail. I called there twice but he left without contacting me. He is estranged from 2 of his brothers and did not attend his fathers funeral 3 years ago-stating we were not close. I e-mailed him the week after he left here and asked why he did call or visit. he replied he wants to take a break from me and it is nothing I have done or said-it is an accumulation over the years. he ended by saying-just leave me alone. He is 44 and I am 61. Why now? I know I have not always been the best mother in the world-I made decisions that affected the children but never intended to hurt them. We were very poor and I had my oldest son when I was 17-I went on to marry 4 times and had 5 more children. I told him in my e-mail I did not want to lose him and I loved him. Nothing. Is there any hope for me to reconnect with him before I die? What do I need to do? Can anyone help me? Thanks for listening.
