[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cut my parent off 11 years ago. Let me tell you, I have no regrets and no guilt. It took me YEARS to so it, but it was the right thing. You literally CANNOT heal and CANNOT grow emotionally further than where you are now by having communication with this woman.

It was such a relief to cut my parent off. They were taking up too much real estate in my brain and not paying rent.[/quote]

I feel similarly. I haven't seen my mother in over 5 years and haven't spoken to her in at least 2. She has a serious mental illness (paranoia, maybe schizophrenia) that she refuses to treat, and it causes her to be horribly abusive to everyone including me. There's nothing I can do about it, and there's no point talking to her because all she wants to talk about is her paranoias, and how, if you don't join her in a crusade against whatever, you are also evil. I've noticed that since I stopped seeing and talking to her, I've grown as a person. I feel like I've healed from our life together. Like I was stuck in some kind of cycle with her and now I'm out of it.[/quote]
