How many estranged parents have to die before we start paying attention?In this episode of Laugh.Cry.Scream, Chris tackles one of the most difficult conversations in the estrangement community: hopelessness, despair, and suicide among estranged parents.Why are so many parents reporting feelings of hopelessness?Why are warning signs being ignored?And why do so many people seem more interested in deciding who deserves compassion than recognizing that another human being is suffering?This episode explores family estrangement, online dehumanization, emotional abuse, public shaming, identity loss, and the very real mental health impact that prolonged estrangement can have on parents and grandparents.This is not a conversation about blame.It's a conversation about humanity. WEBSITE:www.griefandhealingwithchris.com JOIN THE LAUGH.CRY.SCREAM COMMUNITY:https://www.facebook.com/groups/laughcryscreampodcast JOIN THE GRIEF, LOSS & LIFE COMMUNITY:https://www.facebook.com/groups/grieflossandlife FOLLOW THE PODCAST:New episodes every week covering grief, estrangement, healing, family relationships, and life after loss.IMPORTANT:This podcast is based on lived experience and personal opinion and is not intended as medical or mental health advice.If you are struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please contact a trusted friend, mental health professional, or crisis resource in your area immediately.#EstrangedParents #FamilyEstrangement #MentalHealthAwareness #ParentChildEstrangement #HealingAfterLoss
