[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you handle the boxes of gifts or cards full of money that your kids receive from their grandparents/your estranged parents? I received an expected delivery email and I suspect it’s from my parents for my kids. At the beginning of the estrangement, when we were still low contact and I thought maybe we could work it out, they sent gifts at the kids’ birthdays, but I’ll admit it felt a little gross to give them to the kids.

You’re a lot, aren’t you?

Let me guess. You went no contact over your parents’ “toxicity” and spend a lot of time in communities getting praise and encouragement for doing this? And you have been in therapy for years … that your parents paid for when they were trying to get you help? When they were sacrificing for you? [/quote]

I recognize this PP's writing. In so many discussions here. PP are you doing a dissertation on social dynamics on a parenting board? Or how people react to hostile presumptuous snarky shaming replies?  Because unless you're doing a dissertation on these things, you just getting on discussions to shame people and speak with ignorant entitled authority is getting so old and tired.  And you really are recognizable more than you realize.  [/quote]

You're responding to a troll. Ignore, or just tell them you recognize their trolling.

I'm not going to ignore them, I'm calling them out, as are you.  And that was my way of doing just what you said: recognizing their trolling.  [/quote]

If there  is a troll, consider there are several of us because I written similar responses and I see others here.  Just because it's not the answer  you want, that doesn't mean any of us are trolls. You have given zero info as to why you are estranged from  your parents,  so don't expect everyone  to support you. You may be wrong.  And the issue with your kids is definitely wrong so it's all a little sus. [/quote]

I haven't been on this discussion since I wrote the post you're replying to - you made a ridiculous assumption that I was OP and you were wrong.  I'm just now reading what I missed so I don't know if OP corrected this too, but no, not OP.  And of course there are a few trolls, but you're wrong again assuming I say this because I don't like what you post. It's how you post it, and the fact that it contributes nothing and is constantly shaming and meangirl-framed.  And it is trolling when it contributes nothing to the discussion but acrimony.[/quote]
