Estrangers and Estrangees - What's the difference? What can they learn from each other?

What can estrangers -- the person who chooses to cut off from a sibling -- and estrangees -- the sibling who is cutoff and rejected -- learn from one another? Why include both parties in the Ali-John Chaudhary’s Facebook group, “Sibling Estrangement: Sharing, Coping, Connecting?” This compelling episode explores these questions, which have been raised by some members of the group. Estrangers and estrangees have much in common. Sadly, both experience loss and they often suffer with rumination, personalization, and isolation. All estranged siblings can find common ground in the Facebook group.
