Meet Dawn.
Dawn is a TikTok creator who posts videos about being estranged from her three adult sons. Posting under the username 'Fired Mom', Dawn's story has gone viral, with some of her videos racking up millions of views.
Dawn has said that she began posting on TikTok as a way to find community with other estranged parents, as the experience of child estrangement is one that is inherently isolating and difficult to navigate. But not everyone believes her motivation.
Rather, Dawn's videos have been met with significant backlash from TikTok creators and commenters across the internet. Many have questioned her decision to post such an intimate story online for all to see, and others have gone so far as to label her a narcissist.
And while Dawn says she takes accountability for her actions and the role she played in her estrangement from her family, people in the comments section often disagree.
How "Fired Mom" became estranged from her children.
When you hear that a mother has become estranged from all three of her children, it's only natural that the first question to pop into your head is, what happened?
The TikTok creator shared her version of events over two 10-minute videos, the bulk of which focus on how she became estranged from her eldest son.

In the first video, Dawn said that her children have gone no contact with her due to "a multitude of factors".
"My life was one filled with trauma, and was not one that was addressed with therapy," she began.
