Hello @junkartist,

I am sorry to hear of the major upset in your family. Feeling estranged from your adult children has got to be heartbreaking.

As there is nothing you can do to change their feelings, I would strongly suggest that you give them time to adjust to these new feelings. If you do have the opportunity to talk to them, let them know that you respect their feelings and you would love to have a relationship with them again when they are ready. Be open to what they express and try not to judge their feelings

Are there grandchildren involved that you will miss seeing?
