[quote=Anonymous]I cut off both my parents this year.

My parents are horrible people and I don't want my kids around them. When I told them I was done, they vilified me to my sisters who cut me off in return. I asked them why, and they repeated a bunch of lies which had obviously come from my parents. I explained that those were lies, but honestly, they were told to pick between my parents and I. They picked my parents who live close to them while I live across the country.

I do not think it is worth keeping a cordial relationship if they are still being abusive towards you. It's not worth the stress and emotional turbulence really. My kids are babies, and they simply won't know my parents. I am not sure what I will say to them, but I know it's best that they don't know them.

My parents sent them Christmas gifts this year which put me in an awkward position. I think I will tell them to not do that again, especially since they addressed everything to them and purposefully excluded my husband and I. They don't get a relationship with my kids without my consent, sorry.  I donated the gifts, but I didn't say anything to my parents.

I am sorry you're going through this too. [/quote]
