[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a few years of complete cut-off in my early 30s when I realized in a single instant that I was a full-blown, successful adult with my own life, and did not need to be running after daddy anymore. It was a GREAT decision. In my mid 30s, their poor health and the birth of my child brought me back in touch on a very limited basis. For a few years that was fine -- having my own kid somehow made me impervious to them and they sensed that. But a family crisis revealed that dysfunction lives on (including my own reaction to them) so now I have only the barest minimum of contact and never visit. I suppose I will try to make one last visit before my dad dies. Maybe I am in denial, but I have no emotions about them anymore. I just do not care. [/quote]

Wow this sounds like me. I am 34 and moved back and thought everything was in the past except recent events shows they are the same and I have reacted to their dysfunction poorly. So luckily I am not the one who cut off contact (my mom is giving me the silent treatment and I can hear her comments running in my head because I know what she says when she does this to other people) but it has really exposed their dysfunction.[/quote]
