Estrangement and Unexpected Encounters: A Daughter's Story

In a candid video posted on June 15th, 2025, Australian content creator Carms (@zigs_mom) opened up about her experience with parental estrangement. Carms explains the emotional rollercoaster of the situation, saying, "Some days and weeks and months I feel fine, I don't think about it. And then other days and weeks and months I feel debilitated and that's all I think about." The unusual aspect of her story is the recurring encounters with her mother's former students who still remember her fondly. This creates an emotional contrast, highlighting the positive memories others have of her mother while Carms grapples with their complex relationship. Carms's vulnerability and honesty offer a glimpse into the often unspoken challenges of family estrangement, reminding us of the importance of empathy and understanding.
