[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're lying to yourself about why you were cut off. Pretty much no one disowns their families for one little mistake unless serious mental health issues at play. For most of us, it's years/decades of poor treatment. You don't get to continually mistreat me, abuse me, neglect me and otherwise treat me badly and still get to have an active presence in my life just because you gave birth to me.

Your examples are nonsense. Sorry, but people don't just disown their fathers because these fathers were "a little short with them" after work a few times. If you're a constant target for someone's anger, year after year, it's actually abuse. And come on. People don't disown their parents for not attending every ball game and event - but once those parents retire and decide they want to be dedicated parents and grandparents, they can't expect that they'll all of a sudden have a close and loving relationship with their children and grandchildren simply because they've decided it's now time. Everyone has to own their behavior and manage expectations. You reap what you sow. [/quote]
