[quote=Anonymous]NP - to the poster who mentioned her father explicitly rejecting her, I'm sorry that you experienced that. That's terrible and estranging from a parent like that is completely understandable. However, I don't think that's what the vast majority of estrangement cases are about. Most do not involve neglect or abuse and generally, the parents are not the ones doing the rejecting. It's usually the other way around and often for a mistake or misunderstanding. Also, the parents are usually not allowed to make amends. They are just told by the kid, "you should know" when they in fact genuinely do not know. The fact that the parent does not know is then used against them. Also, the kids do not get that the estrangement feels "almost" like grieving a child's death for the parents. I say almost because nothing can compare to a child's death, but we are getting up there. [/quote]
