Estrangement is such a weird thing, loaded with tons of question marks. And not getting answers A to your questions can you up all night. Sometimes even days. This leads us to today’s exercise👇 ✔️If you’re an estranged adult daughter, share one piece of advice for estranged moms in here that they need to hear today. ✔️And if you’re an estranged mom, ask adult daughters one question that you’re dying to know. Let’s help each other out🫂

1. They Feel Misunderstood, Not Unloved. Estranged daughters may distance themselves not out of hatred or a lack of love but because they feel their emotions, experiences, or choices aren’t understood or validated. 2. They Struggle With Guilt. Many estranged daughters experience guilt, shame, or sadness over the distance in their relationship with their mother. While they may have chosen to step away for self-preservation or healing, it doesn’t mean the decision was easy or that they don’t miss aspects of the bond. 3. Boundaries Reflect Pain, Not Rejection. When a daughter sets boundaries or withdraws, it’s frequently a reflection of unresolved hurt or unmet emotional needs rather than a rejection of the mother as a person. They might struggle with how to communicate their pain without fear of judgment, leading them to shut down instead. Understanding these dynamics can help mothers approach their daughters with greater compassion and openness, creating a foundation for meaningful reconnection.
