[QUOTE="Beta, post: 765844, member: 22597"] Dad, I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling with the grief of being estranged from your daughter. Is it your fault? Is it her addictions? Well, who knows. Josh goes to the main library in Phoenix, where they have a cooling center, almost every day from what I understand. He could easily message us anytime he wants, yet we've had nothing but five months of silence. I ask myself the same questions. The other day when he was cornered into talking to us on someone's phone, he said he would call us later. No phone call or message. But, in moments of clarity, I know it's not my (our) fault, and it's not your fault either. It's easy to see, just from your posts, that you are a loving dad, and it's normal and reasonable to feel sadness at the absence of our adult child in our lives. Just wanted to say that your feelings are shared by us all, and we grieve with you. May God minister His peace and comfort to you this moment. [/QUOTE]
