Dear Annie: Struggling with our estranged daughter

The Dear Annie column provides guidance to parents struggling with an estranged daughter and her mental health challenges. One specific case involves a parent who has been cut off by their daughter for six years, resulting in daily emotional distress. This separation has also prevented the parent from seeing their grandson. The column aims to offer support and practical advice for families navigating these difficult interpersonal dynamics and the pain of long-term familial disconnection.
