[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did she do? This seems extreme. Have you considered the psychological damage of cutting off this relationship vs. just continuing to see her 2x/year and teaching them how to deal with her?[/quote]

Kids don't suffer psychological damage from not seeing a distant relative that they once only saw twice a year.[/quote]

NP here. Kids absolutely suffer psychological trauma from the unconscious and unprocessed issues of their own parents relationships with their parents. This is how generational trauma is passed on.

For example: let’s say someone has unprocessed issues with their own parent that they deal with by just cutting off said parent, but not doing the emotional healing work that the childhood wound needs to heal. The parent will absolutely carry this would into his/her parenting whether consciously or unconsciously. In my opinion it is less about this one visit and more about have you healed the stuff you have with the parent so that you don’t unconsciously bequeath it to your kids. [/quote]
