Who has cut contact with their parents?

[sanction]

Anyone on here also cut contact with their parents?

Whether it is 100% completely cut off, or around 90% (which is close enough). Basically there is no communication, or barely any at all, no difference than a non-existent relationship

I've been like this for the last 7 years. I found a lot of people also completely cut contact with their parents on Reddit (a popular forum)

Just seeing who else on here can relate

PS: in case this is sensitive topic to some people, this thread is not intended to bash every single parent on this planet, but just a casual rant / vent in general as a human

I've cut contact with my father. I haven't truly directly spoken with him since 2013. I did have to see him last year due to a court battle between my mom and him but he called me as a witness and acted as his own lawyer in an attempt to ask me stuff. I did answer his questions but I was very afraid around him and only agreed if he stood far enough away from me and only with a court bailiff in between us. I made almost no eye contact with him so I don't really count this. Since my mom technically won, hopefully I never have to see him again.

I'm sorry to hear you went through that

Life is truly unfair and sometimes random bullshit is just thrown at us that we're forced to deal with

Hope things are at least better now in certain ways after it. Stay strong my friend

Thanks. I've already been mostly over my dad himself as long as I don't have to see him though I guess the traumatic experiences he left will always stay with me in some form so who knows.

As difficult as it sounds, I realized it's just like anything else in life. It's either a serious and long-term relationship, or it's breaking up because it's not working out

With the relationship just stuck in the middle, constantly remaining awkward and a pain in the ass, just not going to play out well in the long run anyways, so mind as well cut it short to prevent further (expected) damage

With already endless bills to pay every single day until our final breath, there's simply no more time and energy left for further bullshit

I am still dependent on them but if and once I'll be able to cut ties I won't hesitate to do it once, too much is the pain living here in this hellhole is causing me. I just wish I could be on my own, in a stable situation, liveable.

My father died young and my mother recently died. I never had the nerve to cut contact with them, but oh I wanted to at times! but now the contact has been cut. I can certainly relate.

This is the reddit thread I was referring to

People are almost responding to it like they got paid for some Amazon product positive review or something lol

People just sharing constant positive results, it's almost a bit funny in an odd way

With the internet now, it's difficult to not wake up to the actual reality of this complicated world anymore

I get what you're trying to say but thinking about being in a relationship with my own dad might just be the single most disgusting and worst thing I could possibly imagine, even if I was gay.

I've never had a relationship, probably thanks to him. Him mistreating my mom so much made me very afraid I might become just as horrible myself to whatever girlfriend or wife I might have in the future.

I'm minimal contact because growing up they were very conservative and controlling. I kind of resent them for holding me back socially, academically (and by extension financially), personally, and refusing to take me to mental health services because they didn't believe in it when I told my mom I wanted to die at 8. My brother got to go to a psychiatrist for bad behavior so I feel like if I'd also been more disobedient, then maybe something would've been done for their own convenience.

I'm in the process to change my legal name to not be associated with those people anymore.
I am still replying to emails from time to time to stop them from potentially looking for me (after I have a different name they wont be able to find me anymore), they also don't know where I live now since I moved twice while giving them a fake address and I got a new phone number as well.
Soon it's gonna be over and they won't be able to find me.

No contact with my mother since April 2022.

 

[mangotango0249]

My parents went through a nasty divorce back in 2011. I was 11. Then since they are wealthy and neither of them wanted to care for me, they sent me to study abroad alone in Northern Canada. I havent really talked to them since then or seen them. Growing up without parents was hard. I had noone to help me i had noone to go and talk to when I got bullied at school because I couldnt speak english for years and my homestay guardians were absolutely careless. I cant even remember my family's faces. i dont know how things came to be this way. I just want it to end and its coming soon so im at peace now. ish.

 

[I'm scared]

Two months ago.
After years of trying to be accepted and liked the final straw was over something silly but proved I would never be accepted as my brother and sister are.
They made one call a few weeks later then nothing.I ignored their call.
So maybe they cut me off.
My brother had hated me since I can remember
I don't know what I did wrong aged 5.
But as I became a rebellious teenager my aunt said my brother won't forgive me.
My dad never liked me
The only time I felt his touch was when ge punched me in my face.Which I have bought up in a conversation and said I deserved it as I was being a little shit age 14.

Around this time last year, my step father drunkenly started arguing with my mother, and when I spoke up to defend her, he tried to physically attack me. He never apologized and blamed me for "getting in his business" and a few days after it happened my mother called my brother and told him that I was exaggerating everything and tried to discredit me completely.

I still talk to her on the phone once a month, but our relationship has never been the same. I really miss taking the train to visit her for the holidays and cook Christmas dinner with her.
