Have you ever been disowned by a parent?

Yes, by both mum and dad in 2012 when I told them I was getting a divorce. They are both very traditional and to them it was not only scandalous but outright sinful in their eyes. It hurt a great deal. At a time when I needed my family, they turned their back on me. We were estranged for approximately 8-10 months. They started talking to me at the 12 month mark. But it took about 3 years for our relationship to begin to recover.

Time is the great healer and revealer.
