I understand how you feel even though I don't know the circumstances surrounding your relationship with your son. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think this sort of thing would happen within our family. But it does. From what I've come to understand, estrangement happens in many families. No consolation, there, but there are many who can commiserate with you.

Needless to say, our illness compounds the pain of estrangement. It is so understandable to expect more from a son any dedicated mother has given so much of herself to in just raising him alone. I hope it helps to know there are those who care. My heart goes out to you.
