[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry you are in this predicament.  I'm a mom with a 6 and 8 year old, and my dad doesn't talk with me since half a year ago.  I will share his method as it seems to be effective, not engaging in a fight, and results-oriented in ending contact: His method was, simply, not to call and not to email, and to let his wife (my stepmother) respond to my emails on my behalf.  My dad never sent an email saying he was going to cut me off - he just "did" it.  [/quote]

The obvious question is "why would he do that?"  Like OP does, leaving that out leaves out everything.  Saying "I don't know" only means you shoukd find out why.

Cutting off all contact abruptly is kind of wierd and dysfunctional.  OP shouldn't be encouraged in it if she won't say why.[/quote]

I am cutting them off because of a childhood and young adulthood spent being abused by both of them. The thought of articulating this to them makes my skin crawl - even though I'm sure they *know* what they did. [/quote]
