Welcome to Stand Alone's podcast! In this first episode, we hear from all ten people who have taken part in the podcast project.
Throughout the podcast series, we hear from people who are estranged from parents, children, grandchildren and siblings - who have told Jay, our host, their stories. We'll also meet Becca, Stand Alone's founder and CEO, and Jonathon, our support group leader in Edinburgh, who will be talking to Jay through each episode.
If you are feeling lower than normal or need immediate support with your wellbeing at this time of the year, please call Samaritans for free on 116 123 or make an emergency appointment with your GP.
We are such a small charity and we can't give out individual advice. We will be opening registration for next year's support groups in January 2020. If you want to talk about the podcast, get online and go to our Twitter page @UKstandalone to join the discussion. Remember that Stand Alone has lots of advice on our website as part of our guides: www.standalone.org.uk/guides/

This has been so helpful. Are there any workshops available to meet others in similar situations?

I’m currently estranged from my family in America. I really wish there was a resource like this here for estranged adult children. Right now I primarily find them for parents only. I’m hoping as people talk about this more in the US we will get more resources here, too.

I am so so pleased that a friend of mine (from a Narcissistic Mother) support group sent me this link. I'm 53 and have been Scapegoated all my life by my family. I was disinherited last year for no reason. It has crushed me. I have severe depression. My feelings have never been validated all my life. My mum has started a Smear Campaign against me and we live in the same village. I'm listening to my first podcast. Thank you so much for creating this. I live about 10 miles away from Middlesbrough

So glad I’ve found this, I thought it was just me. I had a day of despair about this yesterday and so I’m listening to my first podcast now with great interest. Cheers, Meesh
