[quote=Anonymous]I watched it. I am estranged from my mother as of February, and I should have done it years ago. The misconceptions out there are astounding. Many parents are blaming therapists. I've not had a therapist to tell me to go NC with my mother. Many people say, "but, it's your mom," as if that makes abuse and cruelty ok. Growing up, there was always drama. As I have raised a family of now adults, with my wonderful husband, I realized it is possible for people to treat each other respectfully and with regard, not with constant criticism and passive aggression. That it's possible and necessary to allow people to be who they want to be, not who YOU want them to be, and to celebrate that. There is a statistic that 30% of Americans are estranged from a family member. I believe it. It's just very sad. [/quote]
