Show Notes
Today I happened across my daughter for the first time in 3 years. I did not get to talk with her....She did not even see me. But I got the opportunity to lay eyes on her for the first time in 1090 days.
It took all of my training, and a heavy dose of "sense" to pull away, without yelling out her name.
I know, it is up to her to initiate contact. She has made that abundantly clear, and I will listen.
But, oh, it was so so so so hard.
Here is how I have processed it so far. I hope my experience can resonate with other estranged parents too.

Dr. Nima Rahmany has been the lynch pin in my learning process.
As I began to understand my relationship dynamic with my father (Part 1 of this video), I was clearly shown how that dynamic played a role in my relationship with my daughters.
I just completed a 3 day journey -- doing guided journey work on my relationship with my father.
Even with the tools, the self-love, the shadow work, the parts work, etc... the fact remains that I am not in contact with my kids. It is simply hard.
