Date: September 20th, 2025 9:16 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" My parents are divorced, so my dad was completely out of my life by middle school. I cut out my mom after high school because she was a bad, neglectful parent. Mostly her own fault, although partly caused by being poor. Cut out my entire family, in fact.
I think it was a mostly positive experience, and I still think it was the right thing to do, although it made life more stressful because I had to be independent and self-sufficient right after high school. It was better for my mental health to get away from all the negativity that came from my family. I developed close friendships with a supportive friend group in college that essentially replaced my family. But I had to work 20+ hours a week in college and still had to take out loans.
I subletted every summer during college because there was no way I'd be coming back home. I did internships every summer to cover expenses and save a little.
My mom would still send me occasional emails, which I never responded to.
Entering the real world after college, it was stressful as an inexperienced fresh grad with no family to support me. So I became an over-performer at work, which stressed me out. But as a result of that hard work, I'm ahead of nearly all of my peers career-wise.
Life became increasingly isolating as I reached my 30s. I still had friends, but everyone was busy with work, dating, kids, moving away, etc.
In my mid-30s I decided to reconnect with my mom because I became more aware of my mortality, and I didn't want to hold a grudge for the rest of my life. By then she had definitely mellowed out, but she's still a highly negative/toxic person. I talk to her occasionally now, but I generally keep my distance and don't attend most family events. |

Date: September 20th, 2025 9:51 AM Author: .,.,.;;,;.,;:,:,,:,.,:,::,..;.,:,.:;.:.,;.:.,:.::, i have begrudgingly let them be a minor but consistent presence in my life but as i've aged into my 30s i have become more bitter and resentful for the stress and retardation that they injected into my childhood household. i get very little out of our relationship and i do not look forward to the rare times we do actually see each other, i see it as pure chore and annoyance. other than that i permit a perfunctory weekly phone call as a low effort way to maintain a semblance of a relationship, for the sake of our dignity and to avoid whatever pain and regret would come with a severance. i dislike the thought that their continued presence in my life perhaps weighs on my spirit but i also recognize that it is perhaps my own responsibility not to allow it to do so if i can keep up the charade with a bare minimum of effort.
it would be easier to cut them off if they were explicitly abusive towards me as a child but whatever neglect they acted with during my childhood was simply a function of their abject retardation despite their good intentions, which makes things more difficult. |

Date: September 20th, 2025 9:42 AM Author: you\'re the puppet We've grown more distant since the baby but not formally estranged. Talk once a month, no visits. Seeing my mom with the baby helped me see how toxic and selfish she is. For some reason I couldnt see it as clearly when it was me.
