About Estranged Parents Global

Parents are committing suicide. When 38-50% of adult children walk away from their parents, the pain is unbearable, the grief is ambiguous, and the isolation is crushing. We exist to save lives.

Estranged Parents Global provides research-backed resources, proven recovery frameworks, and a global community of support for parents navigating the devastating reality of estrangement from their adult children.

We reject the "toxic parent" narrative that dominates modern discourse. We acknowledge that estrangement is a form of relational bullying and ambiguous loss—and we provide the tools, community, and hope parents need to heal, regardless of whether reconciliation ever happens.

Estranged Parents Global was founded by Diana, a parent who experienced the devastating pain of estrangement firsthand. After months of writing and research, her articles reached over 2.5 million readers across the world—parents in the US, UK, Australia, and beyond who were desperately searching for understanding, validation, and hope.

What began as personal writing became a global movement. Diana developed the McFly Recovery Plan, a 12-Step framework modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous, to provide structured healing for parents navigating ambiguous loss. She built a community of support groups, organized healing events like the annual December cruise, and continues to write research-backed articles that counter the "toxic parent" narrative.

Today, Estranged Parents Global serves thousands of parents worldwide, offering them the resources, community, and hope they need to transform their pain into purpose and find healing—regardless of whether reconciliation ever happens.
