After nearly five years of estrangement and no contact, Dad and I are beginning the reconciliation and healing process. It’s what I wished for my entire life but never thought I would actually experience. I feel a mix of relief and peace with the past, but also uncertainty and hesitancy about the future as I’ve been afraid to trust in this relationship for so long. Just... wow.
@Wetrix thank you for the kind words! :) I am def taking it slow; I haven’t reconnected with Mom or my brother but I’m OK with that right now. Taking it all one day at a time and sitting with my emotions. 🧘
@thedeltaflyer that's awesome! Hey just realize your dad is feeling the same way, and is just as hopeful as u are but trepidatious, so just let things be natural, don't judge and give yourself time to think before responding 🤗
I've been in the same situation. I didn't speak to my brother for 5 years.
