No contact with FOO

[Gromit]

I have had little contact with my parents since around 2008 so about as long but not as final as yours, my parents still know where I am. I have some kind of relationship with my sister. I even have some contact with extended family.

I was around your age when I began to split, then my partner (who did not understand) convinced me to keep giving them chances until I was 36. I do not believe I have lost that yearning for a mother figure, or a parent of some kind but as I get older people ask less questions about parents and family.

You are brave and strong to talk about these things, to not cover them up, it is hard, especially with a child, having a child reminds me of things which I had forgotten.

Thank you for posting.
