I am estranged from my 2 adult children and I doubt there will ever be a reconciliation and I don't think I could deal with it now.
I was blamed for the divorce from their father. He was a violent compulsive gambler. Tried to get me to sign our house deed over to him for a 'sure thing'. I didn't...
@SeaBreeze we had a very similar experience 18 months ago and I still get very teary eyed when I think on it
Allow yourself to grieve as much and as often as you need to
BTW Bear has a most beautiful and endearing face 🤗
