For us this ambiguous loss of our son and daughter has become a hellish, never ending nightmare. This estrangement has also resulted in the loss of our precious small grandchildren, one of which we have never been allowed to see during her 2 years of life. Our 2 grandsons, 1and 3 we have previously been allowed to visit perhaps 20 times since the older one was born. The older one has even grown to know me as his nana. We have so much love to give those little ones that I believe that it’s even cheating them considering all of the time and good experiences we can give to them. Although we made some mistakes with our son and daughter most people wouldn’t see it as having been a type of unforgivable abuse. No, not abuse as most people would viewed as abuse. I have even written what my therapist believes to be a truthful heartfelt letter of amends taking total responsibility for all negative things that I believe I have done that has resulted in their decisions to go no contact with us. Alas, no response from them. I wish their father would write such a letter admitting to his mistakes with them during their childhoods. I can only pray that he will, although that too might not be a part of the solution. My husband, their father, always said that his father always said “nothing beats a try.” My grief has now nbecome so overwhelming that it has adversely affected my physical heath, though I dare not tell our children, because they would probably view it as a manipulation to arouse their sense of guilt. So, please if anyone has any suggestions of what we may do to reconcile with our children, please, oh please let me know. My gratitude would be the most I have ever expressed..

I have experienced true forgiveness and have learned how to truly forgive others. It’s definitely for you. I’m a Christian and that is the yolk Christ tells us to give Him. I agree that forgiveness is one thing, but trusting that person to continue the relationship is another.

I read a complaint from one young parent who was frustrated because her father in law wouldnt take his shoes off in her house. She had no idea what his reason was and she felt he was disrespecting her. She was advised by commenters to withold his access to the grandchildren, "then see how fast he takes his shoes off."

Concept creep has made normal range conflict "unsafe," "abusive," and "traumatic." We no longer change the subject, when conversation goes into tricky areas, now we stamp our foot and declare our "boundaries." And this drama goes well beyond whoever the original two parties were, and ends up fracturing the entire family. Children grow up not knowing the grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles they were born entitled to have, just because adult children want to punish and control their elders.

I do wonder if parents are to involved now in adult children's lives. You left home and how often would your parents then be around? Surely they were still raising kids and working. also both of these generations have had a lot of helicopter parents and want to forge their own lives.

CHILDREN and TEENAGERS do not want to be ill. They want the best ADULTS around them, not the worst. If a CHILD/TEENAGER is seeking to discover what they need to know and want answers- they, like most adults, turn to the internet. CHILDREN and TEENAGERS need ADULTS to give them them the truth to understand absolutely clearly. Many medical professionals carry out surgical procedures on children and teenagers, based on parent/adult carer advice. Many medical professionals also dole out prescription medicine, based on parent/adult carer advice. These medical professionals have not necessarily carried out their own thorough medical research. WHY? Very likely due to some monetary gain/experimental collusion between the ADULTS. If you have a great medical professional, that medical professional will get the parent/adult carer out of the way first to make their own professional diagnosis for the CHILD/TEENAGER.

less than 3 minutes in i am already shaking my head. your logic is flawed as is your oxyMORON. the reason why the term "functioning alcoholic" exists and why it actually does make sense is because it implies that a person, whilst being alcoholic - is not actually impaired as all other "standard alcoholics" would be. your argument and logic starting from the fact that - to be alcoholic - by definition translates to "not function" is as stupid as your faces. by the same token, all humans are not functioning - for their existence depends on availability of oxygen - and without it, not only they would "not function" - but they would die. are we going to apply your lame ass logic to this too ? i think we should. so yes, both of you cretins are non functional beings for you require "something" in order to be, and therefore, exist. functioning alcoholic here with probably more brain cells that both of you combined,
@osiryszzz2 ай бұрын
furthermore, your dad wasn't a functioning alcoholic because whilst yes - he did his shit during the day, as soon as he got off work he would start drinking and then "going into a blur". that isn't a functioning alcoholic, only an alcoholic that had to way until after work to drink and as soon as he could he would overdo it and get heavily impaired because of it. a functioning alcoholic is someone that needs alcohol to function - but, and this is the IMPORTANT part - does, NOT, go under the influence, at least in general with some "accepted" exceptions, which still though should rarely occur, specifically, not more than once a month. a functioning alcoholic is someone who unfortunately became dependant to alcohol, however with time learned that they cannot afford the luxury to get that "nice warm feeling", as to achieve that they would need to drink more than what their body needs. Since their body needs alcohol on a daily basis, and quite a bit of it, for them to actually "have fun having some drinks" translates into having to drink "a huge amount of alcohol", and they know they cannot afford it (not from a financial sense, more from an internal organs hopes to survival prospective). So, they drink to function, but DON'T go over the limit, because if they keep pushing that they will be forced to stop drinking, and therefore, stop functioning. This is at least the definition I created for myself, as I had to learn some core rules in order to keep going. It is funny to say, but you could almost say that the amount of self control required for a functioning alcoholic (implying someone who wants to keep being one and therefore follow all the rules required) is not far from the one is required to exert as an ex-alcoholic (complete abstinence for life).

This was very informative, thank you. My daughter has DMDD and ADHD and I find it frustrating because there is not much information available and I find the diagnosis confusing. If DMDD is a mood disorder why do they say that it turns into Borderline Personality when the child becomes an adult? It seems more like a place holder diagnosis until the child becomes an adult and in that respect I feel like I can't properly help my child.

When I first started going to school I would struggle with colouring and writing, my hands were constantly wet and as being left handed I would end up rubbing out what I had written. I spent a year learning to write with my right hand, this ended up pre-soaking the page but I was still able to write on it. Now 38 and I struggle everyday with full body HH, have not had a relationship for 10 years, as an Inventor I find it very hard to focus on projects for longer than 5 minutes and as soon as I turn on my 3D printer or Soldering Iron, my body panics and everything gets drenched..

The title "Divorcing Family" suggests great potential to inform viewers about dysfunctional family dynamics -- when they exist and perhaps when they're not truly present. Disappointingly, the content amounts to a missed opportunity to educate viewers, instead primarily focusing on espousing the idea that more often than not, the decision to separate from one's family of origin is a mistake grounded in a misunderstanding. As a result, unfortunately the message comes across as condescending while potentially encouraging victim blaming. A better approach would be to educate viewers on how to distinguish the false alarms from pervasive patterns of abusive behavior that can seemingly hide in plain sight at the foundational level in dysfunctional family systems, and which can lead to horrific consequences for targeted individuals. I hope you will consider it.

Thankyou, that was very validating. I raised my kids in the '80's when we didn't have much information on neurodivergency. I had no clue one of my kids had adhd and the other had dyslexia and a.d.d. I just thought that I was a bad parent, and that's why they were behaving badly. Also, it was a very lonely isolating experience. I was on the edge of a breakdown, looking back. Of course, there are a different set of problems now and some things are way more complicated. I think you are right about it being a public health issue!
