[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In what way were you unkind op? 
What did you say?
What did you do?
Are you sure you didn’t display hostility, animosity, contempt for your adult child?  What about your grandchildren?
Did you gleefully disinherit them?  
Did they ask for help that you refused after years of them helping you, supporting and reassuring you?

Have you behaved badly in the past, and the child kept forgiving you, but maybe you finally went too far? 
Did you say outrageously offensive political things?  Are you MAGA?  Are they?

There’s a few ideas to Chew on.

Same PP here - this also sounds like questions my parents should answer to figure out why we can have a relationship.

After years and years and years of trying to do everything to make my parents happy I realized I just can’t - ever. They will never think I’m enough.

They are MAGA and anti-vaxxers.
They despise my in-laws and my husband.
They are disinterested in my children….
But very interested in my sibling’s.
My sibling who also doesn’t believe COVID was real, is an anti-vaxxer, and MAGA.
They idolize my sibling who told me if my parents died or were seriously sick they wouldn’t tell me.
My parents screen my phone calls and texts when I hold any boundary at all.
We tried therapy together but my Mom said the therapist was mean and just didn’t like her.

I can go on but it’s exhausting to deal with.[/quote]
