More about me

 

I am the single parent of two adult daughters, vice president of a wholesale food processing company in Seattle and the author of Heal and Forgive: Forgiveness in the Face of Abuse and Heal and Forgive II: The Journey from Abuse and Estrangement to Reconciliation.

 

Anyone who has heard the devastating words, “I never want to see you again!” from a parent, sibling, or child, knows the torment of family exile.

After a painful fourteen-year estrangement, author Nancy Richards and her family reunited. Heal and Forgive II: The Journey from Abuse and Estrangement to Reconciliation presents a first-hand description of the journey towards healing and offers a blueprint for coming to terms with the past.

Reconciliations can bring joy, excitement and a sense of awe like that of a miracle. At the same time, reunions can be frightening, stressful, fragile, and wrought with many pitfalls. Rebuilding relationships requires a great deal of emotional work and a willingness for each family member involved.

Nancy Richards draws the reader in with examples of coping with – and healing from – the effects of estrangement. Further, she offers hope and realistic measures to consider when attempting reconciliation.

    Hi Suzy, your book has an interesting title I will try to remember to look for it. My siblings and I also endured childhood abuse and neglect from our alcoholic parents ... later I took what they taught us and married my own abusive alcoholic - which turned into 20 years of trying to "fix it." I too have two grown children ... currently 26 and 22. It took many, many years to see things clearly - but now I seem to have my head on fairly straight. Thank you for posting your message.
