Re: anyone here cut off thier parents?

I do understand completely.I stopped talking to my dad &
approx a yr later he died.You have to be sure they'll be
no regrets before opting to walk away from parents.I had
no regrets from not talking anymore.The older I got the
worse he got.Really turned into verbally putting me down
& basic verbal abuse,I was late 20's.He had me cowering
crying in a corner,while my toddler looked on & 6 months
later he'd met a nice lady,tried becoming a man I didn't
know.To much had happened & I thought it was a front
(later revealed possibly wasn't).
I couldn't then go to hugging,kissing,I love you daddy
stuff etc.All I really knew was an angry man.So I told
him it was too late for me,I could not try & said we won't
talk anymore.I saw him once,tried ignoring my calling out
to him but stopped because I had my toddler son with me.We
exchanged 2-3 sentences in the yr before he died.
You can't change your parents,limit your time seeing them is
the best advice.Before you concider not ever seeing them,think
about how you'd think/cope if something serious happened or
either or both died.
