@tyme thanks for sharing about your estrangement from your family due to mental health issues. 10 years is a long time.

I've been distant / low contact from my family on/ off over years.

There's various reasons: keeping boundaries, experiencing DV (& PTSD), hurt feelings about things from the past.

Currently I am in contact with my parents, sister & niece.

I just try to accept the past & be present in the moment.
