This shouldn't happen, so I'm sorry you hit this.

Usually the error message will say something like `resource X refers to missing parent Y`.

Usually the following steps resolve it:
1. `pulumi stack export --file stack.json`
2. Edit the file replacing all instances of Y with the correct parent.
3. `pulumi stack import --file stack.json`

cool that seemed to have helped. i'm not sure exactly what lead to this issue but manually updating all occurrences of the "missing parent" allowed me to fix the stack. thanks :+1:
