[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t totally cut my parents out but I keep my distance for all the reasons stated in this thread. I call them once every couple of weeks just to let them know I’m alive and let them talk to their grandkid. My parents can’t help themselves but to criticize so I keep my distance. I’m hoping when my kid grows up we have a closer relationship. [/quote] Kid will mirror his our behavior. [/quote] NP. Hopefully! I certainly am raising my kids to set boundaries, to listen, to respect other people’s autonomy, and to distance themselves from toxic people. Like anyone in my life, I know that if I treat my kids with kindness and respect, they’ll want to spend time with me. I know that if I am critical, overbearing, and selfish, they will want to keep some distance. See how that works?[/quote]
