[quote=Anonymous]There's no magic set of criteria that one can use to decide whether to sever family ties. I know abuse survivors whose health and happiness necessitates ceasing all contact with a parent, and others who decide their own limits around supporting their parents. My own mother was at her mother's side through every stage of aging and dying, even though her mother was just despicable and abusive and my mother has lifelong trauma from her childhood. It was a decision she made, that I think related to my mother's sense of grace and mercy and not some economy of what's owed. [/quote]
