I’m never as at peace as I am when I’ve blocked my mother. Cut ties for 3 years and then tried to let her back in… but she can’t see or hear me as a person, so I lose almost nothing by cutting her out of my life. We don’t owe our parents anything…

im sorry to hear you've gone through this too. it really sucks to have to cut a parent out of your life, but it's for the best in some circumstances—which these exact types of parents won't ever understand. they don't deserve to monopolize our finite time and delicate energy. you did a good thing.

have a dad just like this. can confirm he is not taking "no contact" very well at all. going no contact is the only respite some of us get from parents like these and yet they will still find a way to blame their children.
