Family estrangement

Hi it’s me again. I just wanted to hear if any other parent had cut their child off and how they’ve coped. I have blocked my son for three weeks due to financial manipulation and feel heartbroken and guilty and every other feeling and can’t seem to move on. Any thoughts advice strategies would be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

Hi Beth

Financial manipulation, unlike other family disputes, has a clear red line. Your son has clearly drained you for money and doesnt comply to boundaries. We are not dealing with opinions apart from his chosen opinions designed to create guilt.

Therefore your stance should be solid and to do that you need to eliminate emotion from the problem.

You're no longer a bank, he can go to lending institutions, he can go bankrupt, he can - do it tough... many people do.

In the meantime fill every day with your activities and meet good people.
