Davidduboi :
I didn't cut contact because of how I was treated as a child, I did it because of how my parents continued to treat me as an adult and their inability to listen.

The pain for me with having an estranged parent is how she continues to blame me for it rather than ever taking a chance to look at herself

I'm glad folks are choosing peace over being miserable for the sake of familial obligations.

The adult children putting up that boundary is so brave. They deserve better.

“Unless u can pretend to like me, I haven’t heard from her since.” a lot of our parents are bullies

My holidays are so much happier and less stressful without them. My mother has screamed “you ruined Christmas” at me so many times I lost count.

OnlyVans_HairlessCats :
If my parent had listened to me when I brought up my feelings about childhood and actually cared and said sorry it would be different. But instead “it didn’t happen like that” and more led to cut off

My mother recognizes & acknowledges that my childhood was tough (emotionally). She lets me talk about it & apologizes. It means so much to me that she tries so hard to respect my perspective ❤️

People judge for being estranged from my mom until they find out she tried to yeet me from this planet.

They didn’t listen to me as a child or even as an adult. I’m done & my life has been better since I’ve cut them off.

family isn't always where you come from or blood. family is created along the way of life. ❤️

I agree that people are talking about it more, which is good because others are (hopefully) becoming less judgemental.

Your peace is important as someone estranged from my only sibling. My parents are gone.

My problem personally is that I’ve accepted what’s happened in the past, however, when I see my siblings being treated entirely different (we have different dads) it triggers my childhood pain again🙄

As a therapist, yes yes yes to all of this. Healthy boundaries is so important, you feeling healthy, loved and valued is so important. Hope everyone takes care during the holidays ♥️

I think I needed to hear this on Christmas Eve, I’m still working on healing the mother wound while navigating motherhood and it felt good to know I am not alone.

retired daughter-in-law :
My parents want me to acknowledge how hard their life was but refuse to acknowledge how hard mine was because of it. The projection and denial is what hurts the most.

🐦🔥FieryPhoenixRising🐦🔥 :
my bio mother's lack of accountability and constant blamong me of things I could not possibly be responsible for, along with her saying she wished she'd allowed all the bad things to happen to me....

The narcissist mothers trying to make us feel sorry for them. Exactly why we are no contact.

Natalie 🌸 :
the problem isn't the past, the trauma...the problem that they still want to be their toxic self and it's unpleasant and painful to be around them...they want to be the boss and you must shut your mouth and listen their bs..

Long story short - people are choosing to step away from abusive/toxic family members and are speaking more about it publicly instead of privately like how it’s been for most of modern time

Sparrow🐢 :
My family was already emotionally unsafe, but with the election, I have come to understand that if I was unrelated, they would treat me or ignore the way others treat me and other people.

More often than not, children’s first bullies are their own parents.

Estranged parents are the problem 99% of the time. I’ve never met a person estranged from their children who didn’t do everything possible wrong and basically torture their kids into leaving
