Brooklyn Beckham and the reality of family estrangement at Christmas An estimated 12 million people in the UK are affected by family estrangement. Helen Coffey speaks to those spending this festive period away from their relatives and gets their top tips for making it ...

Holidays suck. Destigmatizing estrangement makes them suck a little less. Thank you Helen Coffey for writing a great article with The Independent about coping with Christmas. I'm honored to have been quoted in this one.

A poster states: From Fear to Cheer: Navigating Estrangement with Beth Bentley & Anesce Dremen." A book opens to show photos of people standing solo in nature on the left; on the right are collages of grop photos in nature.

This Friday, I'll be joining Together Estranged to speak at their Community Resource Social about navigating holidays with estrangement. Registration still open for estranged adult children. www.togetherestranged.org/event-detail...

Anesce, a red-headed woman, stands with her arms crossed behind her back; she wears a dark teal dress with floral print. In front of her is a white tablecloth with over 28 designs of postcards featuring her original photography. Postcards include images of tea, tea ceremonies, street photography, and landscapes.

A screenshot of The New York Times article "The Pain of Sibling Breakups" includes the dek: "Family estrangement can bring up big, difficult emotions, and it's not always about parents and children." Beneath that is a pastel drawing of a photograph with four people. One person on the bottom right corner is torn away, and looks longingly towards the other three.

“Estrangement has truly been, and will always be, the best decision of my life.” It's a dream for my words to be quoted in The New York Times. Thank you Catherine Pearson for interviewing me for "The Pain of Sibling Breakups" in Well. @nytimes.com

Anesce Dremen, a red-head with curly hair wearing a teal dress and blue glasses, stands behind a table with white cloth where 30 postcards are strewn across the table. A customer wearing a red shirt looks down at the postcards. Additional vendors, all survivors, sell their goods in tables behind the back. Bold letters are painted on the back wall and read: INVEST IN SURVIVORS.

So thankful to launch my second batch of postcards featuring my original photography at the Survivor Made Market at Free From's Survivor Wealth Summit. They're available online now: ko-fi.com/s/f5e9205c7b

Fleeing Family: A Reading List on Estrangement - Longreads Seven stories highlighting the perspective of estranged adult children.

“To me, writing ethically means acknowledging abuse. In a society that prioritizes both good and bad parents, I could finally read stories that resonated with my own survival instead of blaming me for ripping apart my already broken family.” longreads.com/2025/07/03/e...

#24HourEconomicBlackout

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。 月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。 不見去年人， 淚濕春衫袖。 Last year on Lantern Festival Night, Market streets glowed brilliant as day. As the moon rose above the willow tree's tips, My beloved and I met by dusk's dim glow. This year on Lantern Festival Night, The moon and bright lights remain. No longer catching sight of last year's beloved, My sleeves grow damp and thin - as my tears flow. “Lantern Festival Night’元夕•生查子，an 11t century ci lyric by Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修， alternately attributed to Zhu Shuzhen **X** (trans. Eileen Chengyin Chow)

As ever, on #元宵節 #LanternFestival
—the first full moon of the lunar year, when lanterns light up the night.

A well-known 11th c. lyric attributed to statesman Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修 and also to woman poet Zhu Shujen 朱淑真
