[quote=Anonymous]Becoming a mother has brought up a lot of painful emotions regarding my own childhood and upbringing. After several hostile years, I maintain distant, but polite, ties with my parents but I'm beginning to question the wisdom of that. Without becoming maudlin, I was sexually abused (almost totally covertly) by my dad and rejected/neglected and verbally, emotionally, and physically abused by my mom. These issues have never been discussed, and I feel sick with anger and resentment, and the weight of the shame I carry. I'm thinking of cutting them off - if not entirely, then keeping relations extremely distant, never initiating, and holding no visits. (They are divorced btw.) The only real hesitation I have about cutting them off is that it would complicate my relationships with other members of my family. Have you been through a similar situation? What did you do? How is it going?[/quote]
