From one mother to another, I feel your pain. I have been estranged from my youngest child for 12 years. I had to learn to own my mistakes, forgive myself, and attempt to make amends. Beyond that, I don’t feel I have to be miserable the rest of my life because she doesn’t want me in her life. You have done all you can. Be happy. Enjoy your life. And no guilt for choosing to live where you are happy. We don’t have to live our lives for our children. They sure don’t live their lives for us!

Sending big hugs.
