How it works
01
A short onboarding process places you in one of six stages — from the initial shock of estrangement to building a new life. No two journeys are the same.
02
Each morning, a guided prompt shaped by your stage arrives. Some days it asks you to reflect. Some days it asks you to examine. Some days it just asks you to write.
03
Every response is saved privately and securely — only you can see it. Over time, your journal becomes a record of your healing.
The six stages
Still the Parent is built around six stages of estrangement — from the first days of silence to building a life that is fully yours again.
Stage 1
The silence is real. The disbelief, the shock, the not-knowing-what-to-do.
Stage 2
The grief that has no name. The isolation. The questions with no answers.
Stage 3
Looking honestly at what happened — without self-destruction.
Stage 4
Recognising the patterns that keep you stuck. Learning a different way.
Stage 5
Building the life that has been waiting. Finding joy without guilt.
Stage 6
Done waiting. Carrying the love. Living fully.
