Asking Eric: If I call my son, he hangs up as soon as he hears my voice
NJ.com • • technology
Key Points:
- A mother shares her experience of estrangement from her son, who cut off contact nine years ago after learning about her divorce from his stepfather through the stepfather himself.
- Despite her repeated attempts to communicate through calls, texts, and letters, the son refuses to respond or explain the reason for the estrangement.
- The mother is uncertain whether to continue trying to reconnect, as she has no insight into what caused the rift and has not received any communication from her son.
- The advice given suggests that without knowing the cause or receiving any indication from the son, there is nothing for the mother to fix, and she should consider pausing her outreach for her own healing.
- Support resources such as estrangement support groups
