[quote=Anonymous]I told them I was done with them, told them they'd better have long-term care insurance and explicit funeral instructions for their executor, and that they should leave everything to my brother. I let my uncle, with whom I remain close, know what was happening and why. We have an understanding that he'll let me know if my father is at death's door and that he won't judge me if I conclude I can't be there. Knowing what my parents have done, he gets it. I'm lucky to have a relative who understands. If you do disengage from parents I recommend you do your best not to let it destroy all of your familial relationships. It takes extra effort to stay in touch with cousins, aunts, and uncles when you're not just showing up at thanksgiving but it can be done and it's worth it. [/quote]
