About this listen
Episode 12 is one of our most important conversations yet.
For the first time, we’re joined by a father.
Joe shares what it’s like to be blindsided by estrangement after a completely normal lunch with his daughter. No warning. No argument. Just a text filled with words like “toxic” and “respect my boundaries.”
He hasn’t spoken to her since April 24, 2024.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Being cut off without explanation
- When one parent is estranged but the other still has contact
- The strain on marriage when loyalty feels divided
- Missing a grandchild you’ve never met
- The first year of shock and grief
- Whether begging for contact ever helps
- What resilience really looks like
Research shows many adult children who go no contact are estranged from their fathers. Yet in our 10,000-member community, men make up only about 2 percent.
This episode matters.
If you are a parent navigating estrangement, you are not alone. We see you. We hear you. And we will continue giving parents a voice.
