Together Estranged | Estranged Adult Child
top of page
Together Estranged is a community created by estranged adult children* to find belonging and support. We understand how hard it is to feel heard about your estrangement - that’s why we’re here. 

“Outsiders may miss that two truths can exist at once: estrangement can be heartbreaking and it can create space for safety, healing, and a more grounded life.”

“The impact of estrangement changes over time: it is not linear. Estrangement doesn’t usually move in a neat arc from pain to peace. It’s more like a spiral staircase. You revisit the same themes—grief, anger, doubt, relief—but from a slightly different height”

* Estranged adult children are people who have reduced or cut contact with a family member(s) including (but not limited to) a parent and/or sibling. 
 
Estrangement is an umbrella term that encapsulates a spectrum of experiences which refer to the physical and/or emotional distance from one or more family members. Estrangement can take many forms, from low to no contact, and its manifestation can change over time (periods of low contact alternated with no contact).
