Estranged from family

I’m estranged from almost my entire family—my children, my brother, my sister, my parents, my aunts, and my uncles. Sometimes I think about how many people I used to have in my life and how different things are now.

There’s a lot of pain, regret, and loneliness that comes with that. I’ve made mistakes in my life, and I can’t go back and change them. All I can do is live with what happened and try to become a better person moving forward.

Some days I feel completely disconnected from everyone. I miss having a family. I miss feeling like I belong somewhere. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m still here, still trying, and still hoping that someday things can be different.
