This is really painful for me. But when my dad called me yesterday and told me why my mom hadn’t called, I made the decision right then and there to cut them off. Blocked them on all social media platforms. The only reason I’m not blocking their phone numbers is cause if there’s a death in the family I’d want to know. But other than that, I won’t be speaking to my parents any longer.

There is a really good reason. I don’t need that toxic mentality in my life. If they aren’t going to believe me when I tell them something and they’re gonna call me a liar because it’s easier than facing the truth then that’s their fault. They don’t get to be part of my life then.

When you don’t feel loved or cared for or valued and never did and psychological torture and abuse and stealing from one etc best to cut contact as much as one can preferably entirely .

I cut off a massive group of friends due to similar issues. Long story short, I feel much lighter and happy now.
No room for toxicity and disrespect. Good for you.

Just be aware that in your chuch your parents will use it to try and do an end run around you cutting them off. Just saying it so you’re prepared for when it happens, because it’s coming.

My parents aren’t members of my church. And they don’t even live in the same state. Really the church is on my side with this right now.

I have to keep distance from my dad. But parents often have also positive sides. In my case there is some love from both sides. It’s just practical for me that I live in another country and most communication is on the phone. Just establish boundaries and communicate about it. And if they don’t respect that you can block them for a while. I blocked my dad last year for a week for example.
