Estranged Adult Child Hoping for Support/Connection

New York City NY

Description

Hi there. I'm early 30s, female. I have been no contact with both of my parents for a few years now. I'm really struggling to "create my chosen family". I attend some online support groups and this helps a little bit, but I feel like I'm still missing something. Recently, I had to go no contact with the main person who supported me like family. I supported them too and I'm really sad to have had to end our relationship. Does anyone out there relate? I'd love to talk to someone who gets it. My family background involves substance abuse and mental illness. Thank you and hope to hear from ya soon.
