[quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean financially.  I mean emotionally.  As a child my mom would give me the silent treatment for days or sometimes weeks at a time.  As an adult she’s taken it to the next level.  It started with politics.  She took me off her social media and refused to come to my house because she disagreed with my voting for Obama.  Then we made some choices she didn’t like - for example we sent our children to public school.  She’s gone basically NC/low contact with us although she tells other family members DH and I are estranged from her and she has no idea why.  This is completely untrue and if I try to raise it she or other family members ignore me.  FWIW DH and I are normal working people, we’re not on drugs, never ask them for anything and haven’t done anything wild or harmful.  I feel crazy sometimes because I can’t explain to friends why my own mom doesn’t love me unless I do what she wants.  I know a lot of kids chose to estrange from their parents but I feel like I never hear about parents cutting off their kids. Is anyone else in a similar boat? [/quote]
