Welcome!

Hey there. This group is for people in the Seattle area who are estranged from, or who have been abandoned by family members. Grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters....anyone and everyone is welcome.

Estrangement from my mother and brother makes me pretty heartbroken sometimes...but I don't want to be like this forever. Can you empathize? Hopefully, we can meet up and have fun, build our self-esteem, perhaps even find `chosen family' while being able to support each other when issues of estrangement and abandonment arise. I don't know yet what form this group will take - whether it will be mostly support or social. It depends on you!

One thing I ask is please, please be respectful with your rsvp's. So many groups are closing because organizers are getting so frustrated that people don't take their meetup commitments seriously. SOooo, if you say you're gonna come, just come. We're your friends....just ones you haven't met yet.;) So, treat us as if you know us. K?
