[quote=Anonymous] I went through this with my mother. Such people are lying to themselves and to others. You will NEVER get them to acknowledge anything, or apologize. You need to live your life as if they weren't there, or if you want to reconnect, you've got to enforce boundaries. I have renewed contact with my parents but the trust is gone and the contact is superficial. They probably don't realize how much I have lost respect for them. I don't share anything that can be used as ammunition against me, if I can at all help it. It's sad, but that's how it is. The one positive outcome is that I don't treat my own children like my parents have treated me. I try to be humble, supportive and attuned to their needs. My kids are young adults and teens, and so far, so good. When I was their age, I was already in conflict with my abusive mother and absent father. I just want to break the cycle. [/quote]
