After nearly four years of being estranged from both my son and daughter while at the same time weathering a divorce from their father, I am ready to open up the conversation about parental estrangement.

My hope is that this becomes a place where you can share your stories, experiences, and what you’ve learned from this journey that nobody would choose to take.

Sometimes, the thing you would never, ever wish for turns out to be a source of grace that you never knew existed.

I’m hoping that there’s an upside to estrangement, but I haven’t found it yet. Maybe we can find it together.
