My dad and I have been having such a hard time since my mom died 2 yrs ago. Has anyone here become estranged from a parent in your adult life? It makes me horribly sad to think that this may happen, but I really can't believe we can get better and I'm so tired of being this sad all the time. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
