Meet Our Founder
I am Michelle Mathews, founder of EACH (Estranged Adult Children Haven) and a Certified Peer Support Specialist.
My own journey with family estrangement began over 17 years ago. Along the way, I experienced what so many of us share on this path: Loneliness, Unique Grief, and Quiet Confusion.
Through those years, I realized how important it is to have a space where people truly understand what you are going through without judgment, unsolicited advice, or having to justify your story.
That’s why I created EACH. This is a compassionate, judgment-free space built specifically for estranged adult children to find understanding, connect, share experiences, and move forward with confidence and resilience.
Here, your path is respected, your boundaries are honored, and you never have to explain why this journey is difficult. You will never be pressured to reconcile, remain estranged, or make a decision before you are ready.
Whether you are newly estranged or have been navigating this for years, you are welcome here. You don't have to walk this path alone. We are glad you found us.
Warmly,
Michelle Mathews
