There is life beyond estrangement.
You are not alone. Estrangement can change the shape of your family, but it does not have to define the rest of your life. This is a place to find support, perspective, and the strength to begin reclaiming your peace.
Here, healing isn't about forgetting your child.
It's about remembering yourself.

Hi, I’m Jamie.
I know what it feels like to love your child deeply and still have to learn how to live without the relationship you thought you would always have. Estrangement has been part of my own family story, and I know the grief, shame, confusion, guilt, anger, and endless questioning that can come with it. That experience led me to create one of Facebook’s largest communities for estranged parents, Estranged Parents Are Sick of Your Sh!t!, which currently has more than 33,000 members - and continues to grow every day. What began as a place to speak openly about estrangement has become a powerful reminder that none of us has to navigate this experience alone.
