[quote=Anonymous]I am trying to come to terms with the very real fact that I likely need to cut off contact with my mother. For years, I have tried with no improvement and things just continually get worse. I don't wish to discuss details or particulars of what has transpired over the years (emotional abuse) but more would like to hear from others who have had to end a relationship with their mother.

How did this affect your relationship with other family members? Were you able to maintain a relationship easily with the other parent? Siblings?

Did your children maintain a relationship with their grandparent? Did they maintain a relationship with both grandparents, just the one that you still speak with or neither? If they do still have a relationship with that grandparent how do you coordinate it or make it possible when the child is very young and unable to make plans themselves? What about when new children are born?

Do you live near or far from this cut off parent? How does that affect things? (FWIW, I live across the country.)

Were you ever able to reconcile?
