As someone who has a cordial texting relationship with my daughter (improving but not quite…), this rang a bell. Not the drinking, etc. but the eventual acceptance of mom by the college-age son.

Thanks for posting. I belong to a group (not formed around our kids) of about a dozen people, and 3 of us have kids who have chosen to be estranged from their families. None of them had what you might call serious childhood trauma (unless you want to count 1 divorce) and we all have other children who are fine with the families. We each try to keep the door open to our adult children. That’s about all we can do.
