Im sorry I started a new thread. I couldn't figure out how to post. I'm new. I was here years ago. I have a different username now. Mostly I can't believe Im still having to be here. I thought for sure my daughter and grandsons would be back in my life by now. It seems its always a holiday. Im feeling horribly lonely. ππππ

Welcome back. So sorry you feel so lonely. You are among friends who care about each other and know the pain estrangement brings. I am praying God brings you comfort . We all experience loneliness from time to time and I know how terrible it feels. Estrangement causes such grief. God loves you and so don't we.

Hi wonderbugg, I am very thankful you joined us. We care about one another here. Estrangement is a very difficult and sad part of life. We need the Lord's help and the support of those who understand. You are among friends. God bless you.

Welcome back, wonderbugg. I can totally relate to your feelings about still being estranged. I was on DS for a long time and now here. The only good thing about "time" is that in estrangement I think as time goes on we begin to deal with our circumstances better than in the past. And, yes, we still get lonely and sad but those times seem to grow farther apart. But you are so right about holidays. We can always count on those old feelings surfacing during holidays and events like birthdays, etc.
But, so glad you found us at our new site and were able to share your feelings. As you know, we do understand how you feel and we wish we could take the pain, sadness and loneliness away. Only God can do that but we are still here for you....to pray, to encourage you and to love you. As Lindajoan said, "Your are among friends."

Welcome back Wonderbugg. Estrangement is a lonely place. You will find comfort here. I did not think I would still be here either, its been almost 6 years that I have frequented this site. There is no judging here, only understanding, and wisdom. God brought you back, we need either other.

So glad to have you here Wonderbugg. Haven't figured out who you are ~ but thrilled you found your way here.
I had the exact same thoughts you did this morning as well. Our ES has 'been gone' 11 months and I do miss him and his family and the little GS we have never met. I instinctively knew from the beginning that the longer he was able to 'stay away' the easier it would be for him to stubbornly continue on with this regimen. He had commented to the only family member he still is in contact with, "I hope this really hurts Mom..." So, he knows what he is doing. All I ever can remember is having loving thoughts towards him, so this is rather baffling. Yet, God has fathered me during this whole time, so He gently fills the huge hole in my heart and mind.
God bless you - and God bless you all who are reading this. I know that God will have to do something horrific in these Estranged Ones lives to 'wake them up ~ my prayer is that they will reach out to Him first then 'come home' to us.

Welcome, wonderbugg! I know how you feel, I keep wishing I didn't "belong" here anymore either, but sadly I do. As a matter of fact my ES's birthday was two weeks ago and for the first time ever, I didn't even send a card. Last year I did, and I was told never ever to do that again. So I didn't, and it felt so weird. I still cannot believe this has happened to our family. Anyway, welcome to our group.

I can't help but think how much our EC are missing out on. It goes both ways. It is not God's way.

As we walk our separate paths together, we rejoice that we have survived so far and seen victories among ourselves ~~~ within and without. When reality doesn't attack, our dreams do. My sweet autistic granddaughter just turned 6 - last time I saw her was a year ago --- now no contact at all. I had a dream recently where I approached her and she slapped me in the face, either because she didn't know me anymore or was taught to abhor the lady in the picture. Oh sigh!

I don't want to believe this is what this precious child would do to you. I think she would love you. I think all of the grandchildren would love their precious grandmothers. I pray one day they can show you.

I am lifting all of you up in prayer.
Never give up hope. Trust that God our Father is intervening, even when we do not see, to bring about His PurPose and Perfect Will in our lives and in our children's lives.
Keep praying for your children and and grandchildren for our God hears the prayers of a righteous person and He is powerful to answer our prayers. Do not give up Hope.
As I've share before, my grandsons were ages 9, 6, and 4 when I had last seen them in December of 2011, and this estrangement began. I feared that they had forgotten us, how we loved them, and that they may have been told horrible thins about us. Non of that was true. They remembered us and longed to see us and be with us, The reunification in our family has began now 4 1/2 years later because God moved my grandsons to act by seeking us out on their own....... and then it moved ES to seek reconciliation, though it is hard for him I can tell. I believe he's doing it for his kids, and that is ok with me. God is using it.
Do not give up hope.

So true. In The Lord there is always hope. We must not give up faith that God will answer our prayers.
