Has anyone experienced being estranged from their “adult” child? I’m really struggling and would absolutely welcome some advice / support…

No, but my mum was estranged from me from 13 - 25. So might be able to offer some perspective from your DCs POV? How has this come about??

If you want advice then you need to give posters more details to go on, really. For example, is the estrangement his decision or yours? What is the reason(s) for the estrangement? Are you looking to heal the rift or just advice on how to move on from it? Estrangement is very painful for everyone involved, including the person who instigates it.
