[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was very, very neglectful which resulted in sexual abuse by one of her husbands. She slapped me across the face a few times but I could have kind of ... gotten over that. My father abandoned me in elementary school, leaving me with her.

Because of the sexual abuse I have no relationship with her. She has never met my children. I don't know if she knows I have any. My father and I reconciled after a couple of very awkward conversations.

OP, I think you should cut them out. And get therapy.[/quote]

I agree.  If a stranger had done these things to you, would you have a relationship with that person?  If it had been a boyfriend?  Just because you sprung from their loins, doesn't mean you owe your parents the time of day.  Then add in their behavior today, making excuses, and it's the icing on the cake.

I think cutting them out would be healthier for you than trying to seek apologies or acknowledgement of what you went through.  That's just not going to happen.  A good therapist can be of immense help.[/quote]
