[quote=Anonymous]I take exception to the term, OP. And you're wrong. On DCUM, most posters advise adults to distance themselves from their parents/relatives who have abusive tendencies. I had to cut off contact with my mother for 6 months so she could reflect on years of hyper control and constant criticism on every aspect of my life, including my weight. The trigger was when she told us our toddler daughter was too fat (she was normal weight). My mother saw the light and has been a lot more circumspect since. Parents cutting off their children should only happen when their mentally ill child does not respond to any treatment and has become violent and abusive, and said parents need to protect themselves and any other children in the family.
