[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn’t make this decision lightly. We value family relationships, and we understand how important those connections are. But our first responsibility is to ensure our child feels safe, respected, and emotionally secure.

When behavior crossed the line into what we believe was emotionally abusive, it became necessary for us to step back and reassess. Children are especially vulnerable to patterns that undermine their sense of self-worth, and it’s our job as parents to intervene when something isn’t healthy, even when that’s uncomfortable.

Creating distance isn’t about punishment or blame; it’s about establishing appropriate boundaries. Those boundaries are there to protect our child and to give space for reflection and, hopefully, healthier interactions in the future.

We’re open to rebuilding the relationship, but it has to be grounded in respect, accountability, and a shared understanding of what is and isn’t acceptable. Until then, maintaining some distance is the most responsible choice we can make as parents.

Are you OP?
If not, you didn't answer OP, just talked about your circumstances.  BTW, not liking someone isn't the same as emotionally abusive behavior so that may or may not help answer teh question.[/quote]
