I have a gift for the estranged in today’s episode. After all, it’s the gift giving season, right? Estrangement creates sadness and accentuates that we feel unloved and unwanted. I am hopeful that you’ve read my story of estranged relationships. It’s on my website.

Would it surprise you to know that not all my relationships have been restored? Like you, I struggle at this time of year when families gather. We see and hear about families gathering with laughter, hugs, and happiness. And we think we’re the only ones suffering with estrangement.

First, that’s a lie. 70 million people live with estrangement. Secondly, social media is not your friend. People only post what they want others to see. No one posts about their crazy aunt and her disturbing antics.

Or the father who failed to show for his kids. Or the drunk relative who always makes a scene. So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and unwrap the gift I want to give you today.
