[quote=Anonymous]They might all be some kind of crazy. A lot of mental illnesses have genetic components. Abuse is cyclical, so it could just be that they’re all descended from abusers, so it’s normal for them to all behave this way whether mentally ill or not.

I know it’s difficult to completely cut off contact. He’s probably hoping they’ll come to their senses and send a text to let him know they’ve come to their senses and changed their ways. But really, if there’s an emergency, there are ways to contact him. There are other relatives who could make the call, or hospital staff can make the call in a true emergency. There’s really no reason to keep texts open to them.

Like I said, it’s easier said than done. I’ve cut my parents off. I haven’t blocked them though. Even though I know I can never trust them or let them back in, I keep waiting for that voicemail or text where they apologize. I know deep in my heart that it’ll never come, and I’ll never get closure or heal fully while I wait for that. I should go ahead and block them. But I’m not quite there yet. I think if they were sending abusive texts I’d get there pretty quickly though. [/quote]
