@renegadereadingsrecovery: The sad truth is many #estrangedparents are going to remain that way because they don’t have the capacity to repair or truly hear their children. #emotionallyimmatureparents aren’t able to build close connections with their children due to lacking emotional skills, empathy, and accountability. They don’t have the ability to sell reflect and they don’t see relationships as cumulative, they see everything as an isolated event and act like the relationship resets daily - that’s not how life works for most of people. Relationships get better or worse, depending on the events that build them over time. Many of these parents have been the children in the relationship far longer than their child was. #estrangement #repair
No loving, caring parent is rejected by their adult child. I said what I said.

My mother attacked, harassed and discarded me in a pathetic attempt to avoid accountability. She then tried to make everyone think that I am mentally unstable and that she misses our relationship, basically, it is all my fault 🤦🏻♀️

When I went no contact with my mom, it wasn’t even because of a triggering event. It was just a safe moment to escape.

Long story short: my disabled Mom has been primary breadwinner for our family my entire life. We have a major house repair costing over $3k and he’s allowing it all to fall back on her. I reached out to his siblings to let them know the kind of brother they have, and instead of having our backs, they protected their older sibling and attacked me/my Mom. Boomers! It’s too bad that my textbook narcissist father completely blindsided and swindled his family to believe he’s something that he’s not.

In my case they continue to be violent in certain ways, so intimacy is no possible. I barely share things with them anymore. I still talk to them but being a 1 foot deep ocean with them

The only time I heard my dad say he was sorry was in front of a judge. And frankly I still don’t believe he meant it

every man she married hated me and I hated them back. I became homeless because of her choice in husbands. I'm 35 now and no contact 😸

I stopped being a child at 18, but continuing to treat me like one into my 30s despite me having my own children family life priorities and lawful boundaries. There is no such thing as an adult "child" Walk away and don't look back you won't regret it 👍

My situation is a little different because I was shunned by my only immediate relatives (mom and sister) mainly out of resentment and jealousy 🥺

My mom has hurt me so deeply. And when I communicate that she quite literally says “whatever Maggie”. Like maybe she should have sent maybe one text after my boyfriend died the week of my birthday? Maybe text me happy birthday. Or ask how I’m doing. Emotionally neglectful parents are so lost. (Just one of endless things)

Lol I addressed every single toxic behavior I learned from my mother, but she still expects me to teach her how to unlearn hers. Doing the work for two people, while still being treated as an inferior. These people's egos are something else.

It’s exactly like that for me as a no contact daughter. I’m sick and tired of cheap excuses like “mistakes” and “imperfections” when we’re talking about repeated abuse. At some point abuse becomes a decision and is no longer a small mistake. And now they don’t want to talk about the past. Well… then you get no relationship with adult me who knows how to distance abusive people who take no accountability.
